Deques Um... yes. Though now imaging a hybrid colour matching turn-based RPG set amongst the burgeoning American rail network.
Personally I don't think uPlay is that bad
Nice. The game looks beautiful, too bad it's launching near the Winter Sale.

Haha. My comment is mostly tongue in cheek
But you're right, it's not that bad. It even has 2FA over authenticator app, something that not even the GOG Galaxy has.
Worked for me about 6 weeks ago using a russian VPN. There might still be an 88 day runtime lock.
Does anyone else have this problem with Steam, where it won't find every game I have installed when it starts after a shutdown of Windows but fixes itself after I restart Steam? Kinda annoying to see half the games installed and half of the games that actually are installed needs an update. I'm using a M.2 drive if it helps.

So is there gonna be an Ass Creed game in 2019? Origin was in 2017, Odyssey is 2018. I thought Ubi said they were gonna cut down on Annual game releases?
Anyways, seeing as Origin is more than 50% off a year after release, I'ma hold off on getting Odyssey until it matches the discount next year.

I thought I read somewhere that they would take a year off again?

pretty sure most of the people are already in here ... just not posting
Follow my curator for more great puzzle game recommendations!
Up Left Out is another short minimalist puzzle game from the maker of Hook, Klocki and Push but this time you are sliding blocks around.
There are various goals to accomplish. It starts off simply, you just need to free each block from it’s holding pin. Other mechanics are slowly introduced, blank blocks that just get in the way, patterns and lines on top of the blocks that need to be matched together to end the puzzle, buttons that rotate all the pieces and walls/gates that can be manipulated to stop blocks at specific places. These walls demonstrate the fundamental mechanic, blocks slide as far as they can until they hit something. Some of the later and best puzzles contain blocks that can only be moved once that pattern on top of them is replicated on other movable blocks.
Sticking with the minimalist setting, I’m not completely sure how many levels there are! Around 50 or so, should take an hour or so, as there isn’t a level select screen. Thankfully you can now quit the game when finished without opening the task manager.
Short, sweet, less than a dollar but could use a few more of the harder puzzles.
I pretty much think of this place as steam gaf: the forum.

it's amazing that we already have most of the SteamGAF/SteamERA/PC Gaming ERA in here, and now I can even talk
Steam is not a platform and we should rename this to the "PC Thread"... also finally Epic brought some competition to show lazy Valve how its done, I mean, what has Valve ever done for PC gaming?.... and its easy to just start another launcher with two clicks... and PS4 games are better than PC games anyway
BOTW!
BOTW!
This place is cozy. But I don't want to just hide here. I want to fight back against fake news and platform warring on Era.
The thing is, most PC-Era people have given up and even get aggro when one just posts a link to the newest Steam-misinformation-thread into the PC-OT. They don't want to see or hear.

Feel free to link to as many stupid posts/articles as you want.
I can always use a good laugh.
aahhh... flat earthers, fun time... *watches*
I remember one time, I had a plan to see if I could makes games not be part of my life anymore, thinking I would try and live "real life" more, but then I realized that just spent hours and hours watching for amusement flat earther documentaries and also about religious nuts being scared of CERN opening a portal to hell.
Asked myself what the fuck I'm doing with my life, installed Pillars of Eternity and am much more at peace with games being quite awesome part of anyone's life.

... and playing Obsidian or Larian games is basically like reading books anyway
Yeah I was very confused, I mean they have tried to make ticket to ride a base franchase that can be used in other games but I didn´t heard anything of a new boardgame.lol
Uhm, I believe Ticket to Earth is entire different game than Ticket to Earth. bobnowhere wrote the wrong name
That's pretty much the story of Doom. Not only they are stupid, but they also lack imagination.
50 hours or so.
Looks like steam has cottoned on to people using bot-nets to abuse free giveaways inside steam. Cards for Geneshift and Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion have been mysteriously disabled. Geneshift had more than 200k "players" at one point yesterday!

yeah, that 200k figure seemed EXTREMELY fishy from the start .... for a game no one ever heard of, that had like 90 concurrent players before going free ...50 hours or so.

I finished this and Golf Peaks recently. Golf Peaks was definitely the better of the two but I enjoyed them both.
The puzzles ended up being a bit more complex than I thought they'd be based on the concept early on though agree on having some more challenging puzzles added at the end would've been nice.
I'm wondering why it took this long for Valve to act on this.
Archi's group alone has 650k bots.
Steam Community :: Group :: Archi's SC Farm
That's $30k+ in card money per game, assuming 5 cards and 1 cent profit per card.

Did everyone see the State of PC Gaming in 2018 that Kotaku put out last week?Feel free to link to as many stupid posts/articles as you want.
I can always use a good laugh.
It's not quite as silly as I found the PS4 one, but it's still pretty eye-rolling.
been playing "Ultimate General Civil War" for a few days.
especially the dynamic Map is cool. In one Scenario, I had:
- a battle on a map in the left flank
- a battle on a different map with my main forces
- after those battles concluded, both maps got integrated into the main map and my two forces now stood at their position from the initial mission briefing. My main force was still in battle against a sizable enemy, but my left flank had won the battle and could relief my main force and drive into the flank of the enemy.
- after holding out for some time, the map got bigger AGAIN and I had to retreat to a fortified position where the biggest battle took place.
- Ihad to use some units to harass the enemy so that my main Force could retreat orderly to the fortifications.
- but I couldn't really sacrifice those harassing forces, because all Units and their strength are real units that will get transferred over into the next scenario in the campaign.

lashman says he hates Uplay, but the second I logged to redeem that free Anno game, you know what was waiting for me? A friend request from him, that's what!
These aren't bots but people. Well maybe some are bots, but if you use ASF it automatically puts you in the group. There are a bunch of people from GAF/Era in there, and I know we are not bots lol.
I used to leave the group every time after I idled what I wanted but meh, eventually I just stopped wasting the effort.

ah, but you see - i didn't even bother getting the "free" game
i don't own a single game directly on uplay ... or are they?!
Grab a free Bless Online Red Hawthorn Expeditionary costume from Neowiz and MassivelyOP! | Massively Overpowered
Grab free Bless Online DLC key. No Cards or anything.

Welp, Kotaku can fuck right off then
I mean technically, when you configure ASF, you are creating a "bot." The web config form even asks you to name your bot
