Modern Warfare remastered may end up being sold separately

I see the store page for this has really low review score, but it mostly seems to be issues with the multiplayer, if I only want the campaign this is good, right?

Never played the original but I hear good about it
If you want to play only campaign, this remaster is damn good. They fucked up multiplayer hard, but i was only interested in singleplayer so it doesn't really affected my experience. Also, achievements only for singleplayer so you can freely ignore MP like i did.
 
It's just because Ubi's online services are down for the second time in a less than a week. That's why the store pages are still up -- the games will be will purchasable again once normal service has been restored.

They're adjusting regional pricing for the second time in two weeks. I just had a look prices for UBI games were increased quite drastically once on April 14th. It looks like it's happening again.

Here's an example for Trackmania 2 Valley - https://steamdb.info/app/243360/

The price in my country has increased by 500% in the last two weeks.

EDIT - Actually this might be because the individual app can't be purchased anymore. The package which includes it is priced this high. They did increase the price two weeks ago though.

Clearly Ubi is privy to the Indian government's secret plan to increase wages in the country by 500% across the board.

Yeah, ₹2,499 is the price of the Trackmania 2 Pack.

Instead of hoping Capcom does something with Dino Crisis in the future, wouldn't it be more likely and more worthwhile to hope for PC ports of Asura's Wrath and Okami?

More than likely, the next ports we see are DMC1-3

Pretty sure it's more worthwhile to hope for a sequel to Cannon Spike then it is to hope for one for Dino Crisis.

Nah Fam

Why are people even talking about Dino Crisis

Did something get hinted at? Because this is out of the blue

Always bet on Dino Crisis

Those new Dino Crisis games look incredible! Both the HD remakes of The Trilogy, and the brand new MMO. Developed in unison by Atlus, Rare, and Bioware. Published by Sega.

Shame it's only available on N64DD, Game.com, and Sega Channel. :(


EDIT: Oh I noticed that Dino Crisis 3 HD will be available for all modern systems. Thank goodness!

This is the scariest post in this thread

New recommendation added to OP:



The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 3rd
= Se7enSword & Ascheroth


Se7enSword
Following up on the events after the end of Trails in the sky SC, Estelle and Joshua's role as protagonists of the story ends and the spotlight now shifts to Kevin Graham, a member of the Gralsritter. The story this time delves into the lore and background of the Trails world and paves the way for future sequels.

Even now, people continue to unearth more information from this game about future sequels. Truly a timeless masterpiece.


Ascheroth
As the name might imply, this is the 3rd game in the Trails in the Sky trilogy. Half a year after the events of Trails in the Sky SC, Father Kevin Graham takes on a routine mission on behalf of the Septian Church. He and his partner are then plunged into a realm that follows an unnaturally strict set of rules and is as intent to open old wounds as it is to keep them behind closed doors...

Now, if you've already played the first two games, you're going to buy this anyway so I doubt much more needs to be said here.
If you, however, have not played them, let me first ask: What is wrong with you?
And secondly tell you why you should fix this mistake asap!

The Trails in the Sky series is known for its
  • amazing worldbuilding
  • great characters (even the random town NPCs!) and story
  • Estelle Bright, one of the all-time best female JRPG protagonists
  • Olivier
  • Falcom soundtrack goodness
  • lots of text
  • length (we're talking 40-60 hours for the first game and 1.5 - 2 times that for the second game).
  • NPC dialog that changes after every little main story progress, telling you about their lives, problems, relations and the world itself. Their little sidestories can even span multiple games!
  • and Olivier
While these games don't throw you into an epic adventure right off the bat, their slow build- and set-up deliver huge pay-offs if you're willing to stick with it.
Combat is turn-based with slight positional elements and an intricate 'magic' system (Orbments and Quartz) that allow you to greatly customise the abilities of your party.
The games also run on a toaster and can be played entirely with mouse alone.
And did I mention Olivier already?

The exodus begins



probably just some sort of bug or mix-up.

It's definitely intentional as Watch Dogs 2 wasn't part of the wave but was also pulled a short while ago. I still maintain it's due to the server issues Ubi has been having lately.

Ubisoft doesn't need Steam anymore.

Uplay is all grown up.

I hope Ubisoft never leaves Steam because it's one of the few AAA producers that does decent (not perfect, but decent) price conversions for Chile.

Oh shit when Vivendi takeover finishes they'll have the same horrible prices the other AAA producers have.

Keep in mind that the rerelease has fixed dialogue as well. Of course the visuals aren't up to snuff.
yeah i thought about giving it a shot but i kinda don't want to buy it again just to have the good translation heh

I got the original Pathologic from one of the very first non-Humble site bundles. I've never been able to convince myself it's worth diving into. Those monsters look quite like the creatures from The Village, came out a year before.
did u play the void?

that game is a lot more accessible
 
my bet is that steam/uplay activation servers are fucked in certain regions so they took it out until they fix it

A lot of the disabled games don't even use Uplay though whilst some stuff that's still purchasable does. It's seems very random.

Did we ever get an explanation for why their new releases were pulled from steam a few years back?
 

Oh, neat. Guess I'm really good at that "guess the design intent" game.
*takes two successful cases of guessing correctly and ignores a ton of duds*
YEAH!

Also, how did Morningbus get that tag about Serious Sam? That one is recent, but the tag doesn't provide context. Like how "the mayur of f--king Boston" is a random result from some thread without the mod linking it in the tag.

edit: I have no idea why I never noticed it before.

Someone (I can't recall who) claimed it was because Valve caught wind of Ubi's intention to reintegrate the UbiShop into the Uplay client and PM'd me further information on the matter, but I wasn't convinced. I still assume it was just a mistake, especially as the games returned less than 24 hours later and Ubi eventually did change the in-client store back to the UbiShop.

He's had it since June 2015. He's a secret admirer of Serious Sam.

It looks like the ubisoft games are back to being purchaseable again (at least for me) in the USA so it was probably just the servers being down on UBI's side

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

I made the mistake of once admitting I grew up and live in the proximity of Boston, Massachusetts.

I don't know what's the worst part of the tag: that it paints him as a Bostonian or that it paints him as a secret fan of Serious Sam

It's funny because I grew up on Cape Cod, where the stereotypical Boston accent is very uncommon. I basically have a neutral American accent.

So, I'm stuck: accept the accent so my tag is from the perspective of me or deny the accent and have it be a knock against me.

It's wicked rehtaaded, kid.

Dont get me wrong I love Baten Kaitos but I have forgotten many things over the years and Kalas is worse than I remembered on terms of being a douchebag. The later twist in the gameis just sprinkles on top to be honest.
He's like, decent in Mira. I liked those conversations between him and Xelha at least. He might've been okay in Anuenue too, but I think the focus there was more on Savyna than him, so I don't really remember him doing anything egregious. The late game is obviously when he's best though. But yeah, he definitely was an utter douchebag in the beginning of the game.

Stump is into Fitz the Cat which means hes into cartoon porn which means hes into hentai which means hes into anime.

Anime won.
 
Trying to get back into Dark Souls 2. Aesthetically it is all over DS1 but the level design ranges from great to "we let a sociopath design this."

"Try tongue, but hole," yes I get it community. I get it.
 
I don't know what's happened to me other the years. Used to love horror games but the first enemy encounter of Outlast 2 gets my heart racing like crazy and I turn it off lol.

Looks incredible tho and runs like aa dream at 4k, would really love to see the team tackle something else.

Survival horror is the worst. Resident Evil still does it the best way. Something jump at you from around the corner? Well you have shotgun with a bunch of shells to protect yourself. These other games only give you a flashlight and force you to run n hide n shit. So awful.
