Does anyone know if Hydrophobia Prophecy will go on sale?

Thanks for the info didn't know it was that low of a price during the summer sale can't wait!

Vice City was extremely tempting on the $2.50 deal yesterday but I passed 'cause I figured I'd wait for the GTA Franchise Pack for $12. Good move?

You think it'll go lower than $5?

I think I'm gonna get AC1/2/Brotherhood. Is Brotherhood Deluxe worth the extra $2.50?...

Got Revelations from the TRU sale for $10.

I didn't buy Walking Dead at $15 before because the game wasn't finished yet. I will buy it if it hits $15 soon. Reason being is I wanna play through all 5 eps at once, not just wait a month for shit and then forget half the story.

$12-15 will be what the GTA pack goes for IMO Holiday Sale.

Brotherhood Deluxe is $7.50 too.

Same boat, got a friend who's a History professor and he loves the AC series. I've always wanted to try it starting from the 1st one. & dunno about Brotherhood Deluxe or not. it's an important extra $2.50.

Sir_Fragalot - hope so! for $12 lol

no brainer if you want the whole series.

GTA Complete is actually much cheaper in the UK store. So if you wait until it's 75% off, you can get a UK CAG to help you get it for something like $8. That's what I did during the 2011 Holiday sale.

So yeah, assuming that you wanted more than just Vice City, wise move on passing.

I thought some of the early game bad guys were interesting and decently done.

AC1 is worth playing, as long as you do so first. Don't bother trying to get all the collectables--stick to the story. Enjoy the scenery and the coolness of climbing and jumping all over the cities. Then move on to the better games.

Whuuuuuu....the "Canadian Indie Bundle" that Steam has up today has a game that requires an EA/Origin account (Warp). Weird.

Interesting. I guess I should just go into their Regional thread lol. Unless someone here is from the UK.

thanks y'all

Dishonored is worth replaying at least to try swordfighting the whole game. The combat has a sort of brutal satisfaction to it, and the way Pendleton finally shows emotion in the final level makes him sound like a completely different character. Plus, the final battle on High Chaos is a puzzle akin to the rest of the game: Almost a half dozen different ways to clear it depending on what powers you're packing or how diligent you are at exploration.

There's a new Halloween themed game in my account that should have playable builds later this month. http://www.subsoap.com/ edit: It looks like the relaunch came out about a month ago.

Just redeemed mine too, glad I went back to read the pages I skipped to catch up lol

Agreed with your... disagreement. It doesn't really play like Diablo/Torchlight it plays more like a hero-based RTS sort of like some of those Warcraft 3 mods. Also agree that it has many flaws. Also also requires Win 7/DX 10 in case anyone is running on an old laptop or desktop or whatever.

I want to throw in my confirmation, as well - That is definitely the best move. I recall paying about $7.50 for the GTA Complete pack several sales ago, which included GTA3, Vice City, and San Andreas along with the original two. (I don't believe GTA: London, 1961 ever made it to the PC.) Definitely, you'll get more value from the Complete Pack.

A bunch of Kalypso titles had a 'retail' version added to the Steam registry so maybe a possible Kalypso Indie Gala (outlandish guess)?

My GameTap survey voucher just showed up in my email, for anyone wondering if that was ever going to come.

Just received my Gametap survey code, winner winner chicken dinner!

I don't really want to have two copies on uplay and I would like to get them on steam, especially since the retail packages don't add anything.

Reposting on a newer page in case someone knows.

I wouldn't see why not. Your steam cdkeys wouldn't be tied to anything other than your steam account, but ubi wouldn't know that. so when the other person uses them on their uplay account it would then be there's, and I doubt ubi cares where you get the data (disc or steam) and just care about you having the key.

Good to hear, appreciate it.
