Before UBI left Steam, I feel like they started putting extra care into supporting the various Steam features. I remember some games having legit Steam Input support, like AC Origins and For Honor. I do wonder if future games will come with more features to support Steam/Steam Deck, or if they'll do the bare minimum. I get these are just copy and paste releases since they're older, but I hope they put more effort into future releases.

I do hope they're listening to the achievement talk. It seems like the easiest thing to implement.

Take back my Steam hoarder card, I... don't think I will buy this nice bundle.
I really want Gears Tactics and Dark Deity, and Star Renegades is a relatively nice bonus, I guess. BUT that's backlog fodder at its finest, I won't play Star Renegades, and I have many higher quality Tactics to play before either Gears or Dark Deity.
So why shell 10+ out. 10+ that could go for something that I may play sooner.

What's happening to me ? :sweaty-blob:
Worth it for Gears alone. Seriously (what is now $16CAD) is more than worth it for Gears if you enjoy the XCOM-alikes. Hard West is a nice bonus, but it's the only other one iive played ofthat bundle

Sure, I'm torn, and it's not a critic of the games.
It's just that before play Dark Deity I have Symphony of War which seems better received.
And before I play Gears I have the still not purchased but well received Midnight Suns.
And I still have to play Fire Emblem switch.

The price is great but viewed on that angle, will I ever play the games ?

Where cheevs
Lol I honestly hope every single one of their releases gets pestered about this. I still can't believe they tried to come crawling back and can't even be bothered to put in the least amount of effort into these releases. Well, I can believe it but, you know...

Also, I just realized this means the new Splinter Cell will likely launch on Steam. :blobeyes: Literally the only Ubisoft release I genuinely care about.

I'm in the same situation...
I would really like Gears Tactics, WH40K Mechanicus and maybe John Wick, but I already have Phantom Doctrine and Hard West.
I have no specific interest in Dark Deity and Red Solstice 2, and Star Renegades is a game by Raw Fury (hard pass due to their EGS shenanigans)...

So I ask myself, do I really want the bundle?

I can believe it. This is even one of the least mysterious move I could think of.
This is not a move for the fans, this is not a re-release, this is just money. We didn't do enough money with EGS+UBIConnect, let's sell our old shit on Steam. With a relatively great discount.
I'm not even sure any of the persons involved ever thought about adding things like cheevos.

Pretty sure the plan is still the same as it has been for years. You want a Steam version, ok, but you will have to use our launcher, because brand value (lol), because maybe someday we will fuck out of Steam again, because...
It was played out in advance.

UBI adding Steam achievements to their games, for those already aging games even more so, would be a Christmas miracle.

Ah, trying to avoid adding to backlog, this I understand. In that case... maybe hold off.. or don't buy any of those games you mentioned and buy the bundle and burn through that.

Me when playing the forspoken demo: "This looks really rough, think it's dipping to 1080p at its lowest point"

The reality:
PS5 in performance mode uses a dynamic resolution with the highest resolution found being 2560x1440 and the lowest resolution found being 1280x720. In performance mode PS5 seems to usually render below 1920x1080. PS5 in performance mode seems to be using FSR 2 to reconstruct a 2560x1440 resolution when rendering below this resolution.
Luminous engine remains total garbage lol.

Most common way is oversharing keys, even though they give you an option to gift keys. It is especially an issue if someone you share a key with sells a key like on G2A. For that last reason is why I am leery giving out keys to folks I do not know.
Most likely this 😔
I have trading leftover keys and such...
I can't even buy from their store at all

Shops here in Norway have reduced the 4080 cards quite a lot. Starting to get a bit tempting.

Toem yesterday.
Toem was amazing, so glad I bought it a while back and the devs plans to add free DLC to it later as they are about finish up developing the game for good.

Obviously crisis core should get priority. It's more FF7.

Though both games seem to be the same from a writing perspective. Very bad :face-with-tears-of-joy:

Let's go back to PS3 times

speaking of confusion, seems like the PixelGames release of N2O is a new port, according to a review someone posted...but yeah, that is weird :p
The funny thing is that I'm pretty sure both of them are just using emulators since both are using PS prompts in screenshots. First one is def, second one says "Now, relive those days in this remastered emulated version." So weird...
