Come to think of it, all of the Uplay updates over the past year or so -- namely controller support, auto-start and patching out the need for the client almost entirely (on a game-by-game basis) -- have been defined by improving the user experience in Steam's BPM. Sure, they benefit Uplay users in general, but I'd say it's as safe assumption that they wouldn't have been implemented if it weren't for BPM.

Edit: Oh, and speaking of Ubi, it's finally happened: the multiplayer component of a Watch Dogs is tied into the overall completion percentage. Granted, it doesn't seem as though you need to do much, but this cross-pollination will only get worse going forward. I honestly don't know if I'll bother going for the online stuff. Black Flag's social chests/convoys/whales were enough of a pain and that was without having to put up with other players.

Do we know whether it's possible to turn off the seamless online stuff(Like the invasions etc)?

I certainly don't think I can be bothered with the MP.

Didn't expect a They Breathe card to be the most expensive one I've ever sold. Someone just bought one that gave me 72p (after taxes). Madness.

I'm all tapped out after Watch_Dogs. Summer sale is my only hope.


WTF is wrong with her left chesticle!?
It's just the camera and PoV, stop nitpicking about the small stuff =V

Oh god!


Pretty darn good. Did you set bitrate to a million?

i'M NOt the one who made it, it's from the KiD OT ;)

...but seriously, hit up the KiD OT, and just look at the last pages for all those amazing screenshots. With a quick fix the game'll run at 60 FPS, at just about any resolution and will look spectacular.
 
It'll be region-locked for you, just FYI.

Is that due to Atravellers region, or is it a more wider lock?

Also, trust sales, I decided to stop waiting on a discount as it was taking forever and start the PS3 version. Think I'll grab this and LOS2 (As long as they're not region locked)
 
Japanese publishers love their capital letters. ;) Capcom decided to buck the trend, though.
They probably did it to match the logo.

Hahaha that's kind of why in my recommendation for the OP I put "Milamber Gigolo Mode" but seems like the strike code didn't make it the formatting of the PM I sent MRORANGE.

Is there any way seeing what you have in amazon credit for apps and digital games?

Not really. Amazon lumps all video game-related credit into the one "Software/Video Games" category. If you want to find out what the figure is, though, visit this page and click "Enter your code".

Uplay Deluxe Edition + Season Pass, but literally the only difference between the Uplay DDE and the DDE being sold elsewhere is the inclusion of the Chicago South Club pack with the former.

Thanks for the info. I haven't the PC to max it nor the money, but fuck if this isn't tempting me at the moment.


A lot of post about KiD

I never followed the game so, stupid question, is it related in any way with 'No more heroes' ? I would instinctively believe so but I have no idea.


Yup, go ahead :) remember to send a PM with the review.

What ? Somebody knowledgeable needs to write a piece on Divinity ! Durante ? Someone else ?
Me ? I think my only experience with a Larian game is 2 hours of Ego Draconis...

Random thought... If I get the Watch_Dogs Deluxe from Steam but the Season Pass from GMG/Amazon with discount and can only be redeemed from uPlay... will it work?

EDIT: Highly likely but will it screw future DLC's I decide to get from Steam if they, gods forbid, not include them in the Season Pass.

Pretty much self contained. It does have a few callbacks and references to previous GHM titles buts asides from playing as an assassin, combat being sword based with dodge moves and context sensitive special moves as well as having a cell shaded art style it's quite different from No More Heroes. It's darker in tone (well most of the time) and the story is told moreover visually than by spoken dialogue. You could say it's taking key concepts, themes and art styles of killer7 and No More Heroes and evolving them into another game that is a bit different than those two games but feels somewhat familiar at the same time.

Dusk wrote a very good review a while back that sums up the game perfectly.
