What do you folks think of Company of Heroes 2? Only interested in SP. Also can it be controlled with only a mouse?
What about Banner Saga?

Child of Light is on my wishlist and it's one of the games I was hoping to pick up this sale. But with only a 25% discount, and Uplay to contend with, I think I'll wait until it's cheaper.

Would have possibly jumped on 33% off, would have definitely jumped on 50% or higher.

I'll just wait and get it on PS4. Performance is roughly the same and the Uplay is less BS there.

I'm only putting up with it in M&MX mainly because PC/Mac is literally the only place to play it and despite kind of hating it I'm not THAT angry over it to boycott. Similar applies to some last gen/PC multiplats too, for now the PS4 can definitely take on any upcoming Ubi games I'd want to play that have Uplay bolted on.

I'm going to buy it on PS3 sooner or later, hopefully once it goes on sale. I don't have any hopes for a PC version at this point.

I've had it on PS3 for quite awhile. In hindsight it actually is kind of an odd omission not to be on PC, I don't think any other Ubisoft game in the last several years has been a console exclusive that wasn't full on casual (or Wii anyway), at most we had a reworking of Dark Messiah that was Xbox exclusive.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Steam has graphs now for the cumulative number of buy and sell orders:

So I was after Fallout 3 for some time now, missing it a few sales in a row.

Now I see this on the store page: Notice: Fallout 3 is not optimized for Windows 7

Just how bad is it? Should I pull the trigger? (it's included in the New Vegas daily so it's at its cheapest).

You can very easily apply a multicore fix and that is no longer an issue.

And I would've made my badge yesterday had they not been paranoid freaks about my gift card code!

Well, I'd have only had a chance at winning one game anyway, and I'd still like the last two if anyone's willing to help me out (I gave away my foil but I got a redundant #3 that I'll trade for a #2 or #7.)

Can someone quickly explain Uplay to me please?

Is it another client I have to download or is it like the consoles where it's just integrated into the game?

Another client, another username / password.

Another client. The worst of the big three- Origin, Uplay, Steam. (Your Uplay saves may be forfeit at any point for the lulz) Ubisoft's first great fudge cracker to us.

Gonna mix things up a little this time, I will be giving away two of the games depicted in the banner, one per category.

Rules/Gist of things *please read it is important

- There will be several ways to enter, you can either draw a picture (one catagory), do a dramatic reading or write a fanfiction (the ladder two being grouped together).

- The theme for the artwork will be pin-ups of your favorite video game characters. Hint: Mine is Mistral from Metal Gear. ;) That or you can be creative and draw propaganda for the various teams of the Steam Sale.

- Yes, I am trying to get you to draw porn for me!

- But seriously if you do go for pin-ups, try to keep it appropriate for this site.

- As for the second category the only requirement is that the fan fictions need to be at least 500 words long, aside from that be creative as you want.

- Like last time please PM me when you post you submission, so I don't miss any. Apologizes for any that I missed last time.

- The deadline is until when ever the timer at the bottom of this post runs out.

- My sister will judge the artwork, while some other guy I know on Steam will judge the fanfics/dramatic readings.

- Sister might live stream the selection for the drawings here, though she's not sure yet.

- Will post who won sometime after the deadline and will gift you your prize through Steam.

EDIT: Also Vulcano's Assistant is banned from this giveaway cause he won last time, though you can still draw a pin up for me if you want. ;P

Also thanks to Chariot with some of the ideas!

I finished it semi-recently (in the last 6 months or whatever) and had 0 issues with it so big fat /shrug at that

then again I usually dont have issues with TAGES or whatever other unholy hellspawned systems most people have problems with, so what do I know

A little of both. The client will come with the game download and be installed, so you don't need to hunt it down separately.

Although it sounds like with Watch_dogs they may have incorporated it into the game? If that's their solution going forward that will make things a bit less aggravating.

To some it's their worst nightmare (lost saves), to others a headache (patching and downloading patches after installation), but so far to me it's just been a mere annoyance in that I have to remember another set of login info and a 5th library of games (steam, desura, gog, origin and uplay).

I'm a sad PC player.

My current Steam wishlist: Viva Pinata, Halo 1-4 (+ODST, Reach), Metal Gear Solid 1-5.

My current unrealistic Steam wishlist: Viva Pinata TiP, Nintendo games, Uncharted series.

Death to console exclusives! What's the point, really?
