Let's talk about Stream and buy mountains of games - Page 112 - Video Games

JC - I just bought AC3 and what the hell is this "uplay" stupidity? It's not enough that it's connected to my steam-account for drm, it has to have a second step where I have to make an account on this uplay and log in there as well?

And obviously - after having made the account and put in my 'cd-key' I get "We're unable to register this game to your Uplay account right now as the Ubisoft server is unavailable. Please try again later."

Sometimes I really hate myself for being stupid enough to actually bother paying for the games I want to play.

I really liked this game. Super fun ****-around-for-an-hour game. But its buggy as hell on my computer. Really likes crashing to desktop.

SR3 is generally considered a great port. I've played ~30 hours with not a single crash.

Anyone here bought The Walking Dead?

It's tempting - I'm a sucker for games that feature lasting decision making - but it's always hard to tell if they mean "lasting decision making" or "game plays pretty much the same no matter what you do but there are a few different endings."

Thinking of buying it, but if it's mediocre I'm afraid it'll just end up on the (long) list of Steam games I bought and never played.

I bought it, but haven't gotten around to playing it yet. It's gotten very good reviews though and it certainly looks like it's worth picking up.

Saints Row 2 is a better game than Saints Row 3.

Walking Dead is amazing. Your decisions really do matter and change the story. Decisions I made in episode 1 impacted events in episode 5 for example.

I'm on ep 3 but I don't really feel your decisions really matter a lot. It will change some dialogue but that's mainly it.

Hotline Miami is one of my favorite games this year. Soundtrack is one of the best ever. I need more though. Hope they come through with some dlc or a level editor.
