Forgotten sands is the only one with Uplay. I think it got patched out, people say it has anyway. I haven't tried it, but I think offline mode will disable it.

PoP 2008 was the first PoP game I ever played. I thought the art style and music were wonderful on the PS3, so I suspect it looks even better on PC. However, I found the story very disjointed (why is Nathan Drake a Persian Prince? Wisecracks and all...), the platforming was way too "automatic", and the combat was miserable. I had high hopes for the combat since they promised so much depth with all the branching attack paths and patterns, but there is no weight or true variety behind them, and nearly all the fights make me want to pull my eyes out by the third one.

Overall, I'd say it's worth 2.49, but I wouldn't say it's a great game. The mandatory collectible hunt prevents you from just playing through casually and enjoying the atmosphere too.

how do I redeem my guest pass? Someone gifted me one but I closed the window and now I don't know where I can download the guest pass.

Anyone else having issues getting the Walking Dead to run on their system? I'm running a Win 7 64bit system and it won't even load the damn game. What a waste of $14 ... Telltale is a crap company that always releases glitchy shit and never fixes it ... case in point, Jurassic Park ... I should have learned my lesson with that ... but I liked the demo for WD on 360 ... damn

I thoroughly enjoyed POP 2008 on PS3 the first time, played through a second time immediately afterward for trophies and got completely burnt out on it. I played Forgotten Sands last year, was VERY impressed. I got to the end but I got frustrated with this one part where my co-ordination was not up to the task and I never went back. I really recommend Forgotten Sands. If you have some Uplay points you can unlock an Altair costume and play the entire game as an Assassin, which is what I did.

Should be in your inventory and there should be an option to accept it when you select it in there.

I loved POP 2008.
Still wish the Epilogue DLC would come to the PC.
Would love a true-blue sequel to that game.

About POP: Forgotten Sands, it was good...but it's definitely no POP 2008.

Yeah I'm an hour in and I'm tired of the gameplay. Instead of taking my time I am just trying to blast through everything.

The Hell is that?

I decided to just buy SoT. If I had spent less this sale I would of retardedly bought the pack, but I have enough so far.

Damages so far $40.

Damn you Steam putting games I am slightly interested in on sale for next to nothing.

Does the DLC require progress up to a certain point on the console?

Could I play everything on the PC (as Id prefer) then fire up my xbox live, buy the DLC, and finish that part there?

Or is it a buy it AND finish the whole story via xbox

The reason I avoided Steam until a couple years ago Man, back then, every program had to have multiple windows, and every website had a shit-ton of frames (remember frame-setting in HTML?)

I still adore that old olive drab Steam.

I'd say it was better than 2008 and I had no complaints about 2008. The whole freezing water thing kinda blew my mind. So underrated. The best thing about 2008 was the interaction between Prince and Elika, and the cool art style. I'll rephrase that, I think Forgotten had better gameplay than 2008. I bought epilogue on PS3 for $5 but never got around to playing it. I think you can live without it on PC, if you can't then go watch the ending on youtube or something. The end of the game was pretty shocking and WTF, but I accepted it and moved on.

Forgotten Sands has a digital deluxe for $7.49 FYI. Doesn't look too compelling.

you have to go to the “Extras” section… there you should have the option to play the epilogue. Enjoy it!
It’s a freestanding chapter, meaning that it doesn’t have anything to do with lightseed collecting or your previous progress in the main game.

Seems like its a stand alone. I like that.

I got on Steam in 2005. I believe the color changed to gray than olive drab by then but that picutes brings back memories of how the old interface looked, and how Steam has done so well to clean it up.

I just realized that RIsen 2 doesn't have any sort of discount : (

Poop.

Also what are the thoughts on Arcania Gothic IV? For $5 it is tempting.
