What about those playing AC series or Far Cry 3?

{baffled}

You know some PC gamers are playing those.

Steam's Uplay-lite.

Hmmm - APB: Reloaded stuff is in there.

I ain't tried APB:R since it hit F2P, even though I did DL the F2P version.

So, anyone actually got any thoughts on APB:R?

EDIT:

Steam's Uplay-lite.

I got all my AC games + Far Cry 3 + Blood Dragon all Non-Steam, so...

I recall our favorite Maui resident really liked it.

 

[MysterD]

Are you thinking The WarZ?

War Z (by Hammerpoint) got re-named & re-branded to Infestation: Survivor Stories:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/226700/

That's the official DayZ Arma II Mod

It's only in Alpha?

When the hell is that Day-Z stand-alone going to V 1.0?

EDIT:

Yep figured I'd try to pop in every now and again when not working on the latest ES code.

Wait - you're working on Elder Scrolls (ES) now, too?

Oh, wait - you mean Enhanced Steam (ES).

Okay, sorry if these questions are retarded; I'm don't have that much technical know-how.  But with the Steambox talk I was thinking, SteamOS is Linux-based, right? Does that mean it can only run Linux-supported games? What about ones that require Uplay?

I should really just look this shit up.  Sorry if it's been covered already...

Do I need to download the Gamestop software if I'm buying a EA game for Origin? I want to get hot pursuit for $5 but not sure if I should wait for the steam sale.

Usually if you buy a game from Gamestop, even if it's just a code, you have to install the client and log in through that to retrieve the code.

Kind of dumb, but not as big a hassle as some people make it out to be.

Considering the amount of time people poured into the Civ 5/Mafia 2 promotion and the Grid 2 racing thing, I'm surprised people get all aggravated about this

People don't like installing stuff that may leave leftover traces that are hard to get rid of. I hated installing the Raptr AMD Gaming Evolved App too.. but I did it anyway cuz I don't want to miss out on the chance of winning one of those AMD codes.

With Mafia 2/Civ 5/Grid 2, you didn't have to install anything.

You need the client to get your steam key. I see no reason why Origin keys would be any different.

Finally caught up with the Steam thread (I was 100+ pages behind) ... now to catch up with the Amazon/GMG/GG....

100 pages behind? That's one dedicated catch-up session!

I hate installing stuff I'm never going to use - it's one of the main reasons why I rejected Origin and Uplay for so long.

Yes it is!

Indeed. Especially when you need a proxy to order from them in the first place....

 

[EarthBoundX5]

Ok, back-story, skip to quote for funny, so I bought The War Z during idk some sale several months ago...and yes, I've already talked to several of you about why and how bad it is, lol. Seriously though, I got alot of enjoyment playing with a friend (who bought it on launch before hearing and seeing how bad it was)...it was one of those its soo bad its still bad, its not at all good...but the terribleness provides the fun of "wow, this exists..."

Anyways, lo and behold, after like a half month of playing my account was magically hacked, all collected items stolen, and I was subsequently banned. Fantastic! It gets better... So just because on principal, I wanted my account I paid for back, I decided to contact support...and of course I got no answer...for months...I kept commenting weekly and after 2 months filed a new ticket...then continued commenting each month for the next 2 months.

Well recently they did a mass email to existing tickets saying they had new people running support now and were closing all tickets, if the problem still exists, resubmit your ticket. I resubmitted my issue, not expecting ANYTHING whatsoever, and only doing so because my previous tickets were closed and there was no way I'd ever get a response with no active tickets. Got a response in week (which I consider reasonable) asking for specific further information. I provided...and here is the fantastic response I got 3 days later (almost makes up for the time, except not...but still gave me a laugh)

Hey Ness,

Upon investigation of your account, access by a 3rd party (possibly a Starman) was discovered between [--] and [--]. During this time, hacking occurred and the account was suspended.

We are currently working to clean your account's history and reinstate it. You should be able to log into your account again in the next 24 hours.

[//]

I highly recommend regularly changing your passwords, keeping them all unique, long, and include numbers and upper case letters. This is a great website for determining the strength of your password: https://howsecureismypassword.net/

In my experience, combinations of words work best. Here's a great example:
earthbound can be cracked in 9 hours
34rthbound can be cracked in 10 days
iloveearthbound would take 13 thousand years
ILoveEarthbound would take 435 million years
and finally, 1L0v334rthb0und would take 6,000,000,000 years to crack

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to submit a new ticket and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Sincerely,
Infestation Customer Support

PS. Keep up the good fight against Giygas!
