I think I need help, the more I look at the picture the more I think that's a bonfire kindled with the Rite... and expecting 20 charges in my Estus flask.Today we light the fires in Sweden to welcome spring.

Hhmmm, I guess it's still too much
Oh, and even the Steam version require UPlay, right? Do you just need an account or do you have to download the client too?
I thought the games included issues of the Soldier of Fortune magazines as collectables, but a cursory Google search suggests I dreamt that up, haha. I wonder why Payback was pulled, then.
Edit: Wait, Acti did license the name from the magazine.
Alright, I definitely need to go back and replay them. You generally have taste worth listening to.
RockPaperShotgun doesn't really like Broken Sword 5 all that much
Am I the only one thinking that pretty much all of their recent adventure game reviews are negative (John Walker's not liking Deadalic games and absolutely hating Moebius)?

I did notice it too.

Yeah, you need the client. It comes with the Steam version as a prerequisite so it's installed automatically the first time you run the game.
Slim to none. 1C hasn't said a word regarding Steam keys for the dozens of games it's brought to Steam over the past couple of months or so.
Thanks for the weirdness!

But then what's the difference if I buy the UPlay version?

No prob Bob.
Uplay proper has a fairly crummy patch system, so there's that. But otherwise nothing.
Don't know much about Payback, but the original Soldier of Fortune was 'informed' by actual Soldier of Fortune John Mullins. He was pretty front and center in the pre-release advertising, iirc. It was so odd to me that the end product was just a (then) modern run & gun shooter with extra gore and dismemberment. I liked it a lot, but, yeah, why bother with the consultant and licensing?
Oh that too I guess.
Man I really want to play that game again now. I'm sure I have the disc somewhere.
1:30 AM... what year is it over there?
If you buy the Uplay version you'll have to download the game (and patches, as Jase said) through said client, instead of doing it via Steam. I'd choose the latter over it every day, not only due to the +1 (which for some -me included, ever since not too long ago- is important) to the games count, but also because Steam (by default, though it can be changed) auto downloads patches while the client is open. If you have a considerable library and friends list there, it's more probable that you'll have Steam open at any time rather than Uplay, which means you won't have to wait for who knows how long before you get to play the game every time there's a new patch.
And that's another reason why I dislike having to put up with other clients. Since I only launch them when a game requires it, there's usually a patch or two they have to download, forcing me to wait until it is done when the only thing I wanted to do was play a few minutes of Driver: San Francisco or Rayman Legends.
I vaguely remember the demo for the original game. I wasted so much time experimenting with the then-novel damage/dismemberment system, haha.

Don't worry, thatt's the very code they have just sent to me as well.
If you could keep the center column of the page where the text is the default steam color than that'd be the ideal for me, background around the actual main page but not hindering it in any way.
So, an absolutely AMAZING human being heard how bad my life has been lately, and they just bought me the Steam Special Edition of Tropico 5.
I now have 1,000 games.
I realize that's small-time compared to some of you.
I'm just
I'm emotionally overwhelmed here. I've been despairing almost nonstop. Yesterday's super positive response to my published article, the "great thread, Doc!" stuff that's been in my last two threads here, and this Tropico 5 thing are the only good things going on in my life, and I am just so... like, I don't even know how to describe how amazing I feel right now.
Things are awful--truly awful--but some people have just completely blown me away with their kickassery.

Hopefully someone can get enjoyment out of this game, since I don't want it. As usual, if the key doesn't work because I'm paranoid about messing it up, send me a message and I'll fix it.

I'm at 999 games myself. Steam GAF has always been one of the best online communities I've been a part of. I don't post as often as I'd like but I follow the stuff here daily.
Just know that there are always people out there who truly care about others when the tough gets going. I've been in an extremely difficult spot before and am so thankful to the people that helped me out of it.
Remember the little things.
Well, the Daedalic games I played (A new beginning and Deponia) were utter dogshit, with stupid 30 year old puzzle design, horrible main characters, bad writing and horrendous voice acting, so I'm totally with him there.
I try, but it's hard. I dunno if you've seen my thread over in OT. Life's not pretty, and the big things often overwhelm the little things. I feel like... eventually, things are going to get good, but I'm really tired of the past several years. The small things are the only things keeping me from just... stopping. Not dying, or anything, just... sitting here and giving up.
Crap. I have a new beginning and haven't started it yet...
I thought it looked interesting =/
Basically a fan-made remake of TFE and TSE stitched together as a single game, with a new campaign coming later down the track. It was given to existing owners of the "classic" Serious Sam games (not the HD remakes).

45 + playfire + money back is a pretty sweet deal. But Uplay key.

I have just finished it and it's not bad, I don't play many point and click games so I cannot say whether there are better ones around though.

only Uplay key ?
Only Amazon sells Steam versions of Uplay titles, but the selection is very limited (AssCreed 3, AssCreed 4 and Far Cry 3).
I enjoyed Eador and really need to get back to it. It also seems to have gotten a decent amount of post release support in terms of bug fixes and some free dlc. If it's a genre you like I'd say it's worth a shot. It has been bundled before though, so it probably will be again if you wanted to wait.

Not all. They loved Blackwell Epiphany. For good reason, too! It's probably the best adventure game we've seen in several years. You should play it, GAF.
While I liked Broken Sword 5, I still agree with most of what they wrote in that review. In spite of the adventure resurgence, it's still tough to find genuinely good modern adventure games.

Thinking about getting it too but I don't know if it's going to be any good.
Desura says I'm not allowed to request additional keys, but I have no key. I guess I'll try the client or wait.

Is Eador (the daily deal) any good?
