Why? Play through the other two since it sounds like you own them.
Pick up ACIII when its cheap. Its not like that is a good price, And its UPLAY.
AC3's one of the worst big budget games ever made, and this is coming from someone who has liked the series despite all of its very many flaws up until that game. Brotherhood and Revelations are solid games, although they're not as good as 2 was.

It's not just the documentation that's in Japanese, MT Frameworks entire user interface is in Japanese. MT Frameworks is a proprietary tool developed by their Japanese studios for their Japanese studios with no forethought for making it a tool they can license out or lend to their sub-contracted developers abroad for work on games Capcom is publishing.
That's partially why DmC was made with Unreal.

The price isn't really that bad. That's about as cheap as it's ever been on consoles, and it's the best version.
I've kinda gotten over the whole Uplay thing, to be honest. I know it's not a good business practice and I'd prefer it didn't have it, but it would almost never affect me. Never did with Anno 2070 or HOMM VI.
Also, I heard that ACIII was pretty great, and I'm sorta getting tired of the ever-increasing list of Italian names that I can't keep track of.
I still may hold off. I dunno.
Nope, but even if there were it'd only be to the order of 20%, meaning you'd be shaving just a buck off the current price of Primal Carnage.
Enjoy Brohood, tolerate Revelations and pick up III in a -75% off sale later on.
ok thanks.

You missed the fact that both Portal and Zelda was outright sampled earlier on in the set.

Does this one have trigens as well?
Well that's a pretty sure fire bet then. Sweet never finished it. dlc was meant to be rubbish though right? Well that or rushed.
Edit: This is odd what with this and the little lady watching TNG all weekend I've suddenly got the hankering for some Star Trek.

Exciting.
Not really. It's like a God of War game but not as good as goes on way too long.
I skipped it on consoles since I heard the framerate was awful.
Here's hoping the wait was worthy it.

Yeah, but I've been curious enough that a Steam sale impulse buy sounds about right, especially considering it'll have a better framerate.
It begins.

Why kill the sales like that?This is all too sudden
I don't think it'll be a pre-order bonus for Lords of Shadow 2..
I really wish it were.
No it's a horrid Capsule game. Slowest downloads ever. Says this only the last line of sys reqs.

It still might be, depending on how soon they want to release LoS1 and when pre-orders for LoS2 will be up.
Its happening. Good job Konami.
Now bring the HD versions of MGS and ZoE.
I thought ACIII was considered universally bad. Even by people who enjoy that type of stuff.
Because I already have and finished it on the 360, so I'm not planning on wasting 20 bucks on a game I already finished and don't plan on re-playing it anytime soon.
However, I really do want to buy and play Lords of Shadow 2 on PC, so I'm buying that as soon as it's out (mostly to show Konami that I want games on PC), so that would be a nice bonus for me.
Sure, that's not good business for Konami... but I really don't care..
Play some Star trek online then, its quite good and F2P.
Prediction: $19.99 base price and a pre-purchase incentive for the sequel.
When is the release date for Lords of Shadow 2? October? Is it going to be a simultaneous release on PC do we reckon? How soon have Valve been putting preorders up with bonuses at the moment? Yeah I know I could go find that all out myself but I'm lazy tonight.
Yeah was just looking at that but after the abomination that was TOR I'm a bit jaded with MMOs at the moment. Why isn't 25th Anniversary on GOG?

it's not a prediction if you copy it from me you bastard
Are we in 2009?
This would be one of the rare times that jack nicholson gif is appropriate.
TBA 2013
They've only started showing it to journalists.
Bah. Speaking of which has anyone told Mercury Steam how a trilogy works? This is how their site puts it:
^And this is how I know for sure I would hate the game.

LotR RTS question for Steam-GAF.
I see that LotR: Battle for Middle Earth II is non-Steam and pretty expensive, mostly because whoever put this game out no longer holds the license. I thought the first BfME game was pretty good on PC, but I bought -- and still have -- the 2nd on 360.
The question is this: does it make sense to throw $50-$60 to pick up BfME II via eBay or wherever ... or are the LotR mods for Total War satisfactory enough?

Those are three games, they all follow the same storyline in a non-linear structure.
Ugh. I'll note that then. Hopefully it will be reduced on Steam some time. Thanks man!

I like Classic CV, Metroidvania and LoS but I admit, I'd have been a bit pissed if we hadn't gotten an incredible CV with Order of Ecclesia.
Trilogy spread over two different sets of hardware too! I hate this shit but luckily I own a 3DS now.

I fucking loved the first BfME and was pretty crushed when I realized that it's not on Steam, or even Origin. The second one, I wasn't a fan of. It took away the capture points from the first game that really concentrated the action, and the walls in the game were either too weak or expensive as fuck, making them basically useless. Since I'm a natural turtler, this was a big drawback.
So, personally, I wouldn't say it's worth it. Maybe find the first one for $10 somewhere. *shrug*
Don't know. I've heard BfME 2 and it's expansions were pretty boss but seeing as that Third Age mod for Medieval II has been sat in the top 5 of moddb's rankings for so many years and still getting updates and the fact it crops up on sale at least 4 times a year it would be silly not to try that first. Also you're getting a cracker of a TW game as well.
Edit: Infact you be the judge. There a few vids there to give you an idea plus loads of details of what you're letting yourself in for.

I will buy it at a high price!
Its not available through DD anymore so that price is impossible.
