I love how the description for the Complete Edition on the Epic Store notes "Experience Watch_Dogs - the phenomenon of 2014 - with the biggest edition ever!". That is almost as ridiculous as "Aiden Pearce's Iconic Cap".

I thought watch dogs was ok. Protagonist is loving boring but it had some neat ideas.

Like any Ubi IP i assume the later ones are better.

Yeah, BeforeIPlay said something like "Are you sure you want to play this and aren't thinking of the second one?". I wanted to enjoy it, and kind of liked those QR codes you had to line up in the environment, but pretty much hated everything else. I love huge world collectathons and driving around (Mad Max was great for me) but WD1was dire.

It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.

This game is a gem IMO. A little weird and maybe not for everyone but I think it was criminally underhyped on Steam. Absolutely check it out for free! And if you like it and your money's good , maybe gift a Steam copy to a friend, I know I will

I only played 2 but the MP integration is really, really good. Having someone either randomly hacking you or randomly helping you(by blowing everything up) is a great way to make a sandbox even more chaotic.

Rogue is still the best Assassin's Creed as far as I'm concerned. Ben Franklin and his gift of a high power air rifle with under slung grenade launcher won me over.

Watch Dogs is... meh. Mechanically sound but holy crap every character is absolutely a terrible piece of poo poo. I can see maybe what they were trying to do with the writing, but it falls short by a county mile.

Always wanted to try Stanley Parable, just never got around to it.

The Stanley Parable was pretty fun and it was fun to figure out what you could do to affect what the narrator would say.

I had it complain about not being able to reach the ubi servers when I restarted to change settings yesterday. Wouldn't let me into the game until I alt-f4'd and restarted uplay. Or it just lasted a few minutes, not sure which. Was fine after that.

When it comes to UBI stuff I tend to just go straight to Uplay to buy it unless its on a major deal elsewhere, since Steam will be launching Uplay anyway.

Great.

Ben Prunty is temporarily making his discography (FTL, Into the Breach, etc.) available on Bandcamp at pay-what-you-want, which includes zero.

This is music, not a game, but IMO belongs in this thread.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

If you can't simply click the add to your account button on Steam right now, you deserve to take extra steps to get your copy of Tomb Raider :colbert:

Maybe it comes with all the DLC? But that's 95% multiplayer stuff or cheat DLC, with one short piece of single player content.

Yeah the DLC is completely inconsequential to that game, and it's probably my favourite of the new trilogy.

:lol: tried to get the GOTY key of Tom Braider 2013 from the SE store so I could also get the DLCs. And after waiting in line for 6 minutes it let me purchase it, but now it's been half an hour and my key is still "being processed".

Thanks for putting a queue system in your site and then still not being able to handle the load, SE.
