I'm happy we'll be seeing a Watch Dogs 2 in the future.

As for AC - I dont mind the annual releases but also dont mind if there's a delay of one year.

I'm playing catch up with the series.

So far I finished AC1, AC2, AC Brotherhood and AC Revelations.

Once I finish DmC Devil May Cry and Tomb Raider Reboot - I'm planning to play AC3 and AC Liberation will follow after that.

Planning to buy AC4 Black Flag Gold Edition whenever it goes on sale again in the summer.

What do you think of the AC games?

Personally, I enjoyed all of them all from the first one (despite its flaws) to Revelations. And then came AC 3... and that's where my interest with the series died.

 

The AC series is in my top 5 favorite western franchises list.

Ironically its the only Ubisoft series I've ever played (never played Rayman or anything else from Ubisoft)

I first got into the series by playing AC1 when I got it on Steam - and this was before I upgraded my GFX card so I had to play it in low settings back then.

I played its sequel a few months after I upgraded my gfx card and on the 1 year anniversary of beating the first game ;p

I played AC Brotherhood a year after that and Revelations just a few months ago (which was also a year after that).

In terms of what I scored them....

Assassin's Creed Director's Cut (PC): 84
Assassin's Creed II Deluxe Edition (PC): 90
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Deluxe Edition (PC): 92
Assassin's Creed Revelations Gold Edition (PC): 85

I plan to play AC3 soon as I said before and judge the game myself ;p

I remember watching the trailers and getting hyped.

I bought AC3 and Liberation last year's summer sale which is a trend since I've been buying one or two AC games every summer ever since I got into PC gaming back in 2012.

Edit: And yes I always buy the complete edition or the closest to it even if it only has MP stuff only.

AC 1 = Summer 2012
AC 2 = Summer 2013
AC Brotherhood and AC Revelations = Summer 2014
AC3 and AC Liberation = Summer 2015

Gonna be getting ACIV Black Flag Gold Edition which comes with Freedom Cry this year.

I like Assassin's Creed a lot, but the big problem is that they're so casual. It's a scandal that there aren't different difficulty levels!

I would rate them:

Assassin's Creed Director's Cut: 80 (the most challenging of them all and felt dark, I loved it)
Assassin's Creed II : 85 (the atmosphere was simply fantastic)
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood: 70 (too many meaningless features and unnecessary things, unengaging story)
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag: 85 (Revival of the series. Probably the best AC since AC2)

I haven't played Revelations yet, and not AC3, nor the next gen ones.

It would be fun to know which team did which game and see if there's a correlation to quality.

The next Assassin's Creed game I will probably play is Assassin's Creed Rogue. I think it sounds very exciting to play a character on the Templar side!

I don't know why I haven't asked this before but, now that the Steam Winter Sales are over, what did you get?

*list with 17 games*

Total sum ~96 Euros

You definitely had a good Winter Sale .

That's a lot of games.

And like most of you all I will only play a fraction of them.

And yet my Wishlist still has over 100 titles. And threads like this gives so many tips to add to that list. So many interesting games upcoming.



I try to avoid putting all those games on my wishlist because sooner or later you end up not knowing what's in it.

Thankfully now we can "follow" games on Steam, which is where I put the games I want to know more about but I'm not sure if I want them yet.

Oh. That sounds reasonable, to have two categories - games I know I want, games I'm unsure about. Very good!

Do you think it will be hard to reorganize my wishlisted games and put some of them to "follow" instead? How do games/items you follow yearn for your attention? Do they show up in the activitity list or in messages or you open a page somewhere or what?

I started doing the follow trick recently, so I'm not sure of how it works.

Because of that, I go to my "discovery" page (I don't know if that's the correct name) and there I can check the list of the game I follow. I currently have 7 games there.

Anno 1404 Gold 7.5

 

Yesterday I forgot to warn you about this game for a couple of reasons

1) I don't know if it has to work this way or it happens because it's broken, but if you launch the game rom the "Recent" menu of Steam in the Windows Start menu, it will always launch 1404: Venice. It doesn't matter if it says that it's 1404, you'll get the expansion. The only way to play 1404 is opening Steam, going to your library and launch the game from there, launching a windows that asks you if you want to play 1404 or 1404: Venice. It's important if you haven't played an Anno game before as the tutorial can't be played on Venice.

2) Be careful with the game, it's slow paced and time flies past without you noticing it.

Here are a couple of news as an advancement:

Lian Li's Yacht PC-Y6 mini-ITX chassis was on show at CES

http://hexus.net/tech/news/chassis/89639-lian-lis-yacht-pc-y6-mini-itx-chassis-show-ces/

Lian Li was at CES 2106, showcasing one of its oddest ever PC chassis designs. The PC-Y6 is a 'Yacht Themed' aluminium constructed mini-ITX chassis. As is the modern trend, Lian-Li's Yacht includes RGB lighting, and it will be available in white or bare aluminium finishes.

 

Is there someone that buys this kind of cases?

http://www.dsogaming.com/news/oculus-palmer-luckey-on-oculus-exclusive-titles-quality-of-rift-displays-content-more/

Seems that Oculus’ Palmer Luckey is doing his best to answer as many questions as possible these days, especially after that ‘$349’ price fiasco for the Oculus Rift. In his latest Reddit AMA, Palmer explained what is considered Oculus Exclusive, the quality of the Oculus Rift’s displays, as well as how important the actual content is for the Oculus Rift.

 

HTC VIVE PRE-ORDERS BEGIN FEBRUARY 29

http://www.pcgamer.com/htc-vive-pre-orders-begin-february-29/

The HTC Vive will be available to pre-order from February 29 before going on sale in April, CEO Cher Wang has told The Telegraph. The price of the Vive is still a mystery, though I'll wager the recent addition of a front-facing camera (deemed important enough to delay the Vive by four months) and HTC's premium ambitions are unlikely to make it a budget offering relative to the Oculus Rift.

HERE IS TWO HOURS OF GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE FROM FAR CRY: PRIMAL

Ubisoft has released a new video for Far Cry: Primal, showing two hours of gameplay footage. Far Cry: Primal looks similar to all the previous Far Cry games, meaning that if you didn’t like the previous ones, you’ll definitely won’t find anything interesting here (apart from its prehistoric concept). The game releases on March 1st on the PC.

CD PROJEKT SLAYS WITCHER 3 ENHANCED EDITION RUMOUR

http://www.pcgamer.com/cd-projekt-slays-witcher-3-enhanced-edition-rumour/

Don't believe everything that's leaked by prescient French retailers. Though Amazon France has a good record for revealing release dates, French supermarket E.Leclerc seems to have missed the mark with its posting for a Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Enhanced Edition dated February 5, as spotted by NeoGAF user Renae. Further research by Coreda using the listing's EAN barcode uncovered a Belgian site with the same entry. According to CD Projekt's Pawel Bruza, however, it's collective madness.

 

AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT XCOM 2'S CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION

http://www.pcgamer.com/an-in-depth-look-at-xcom-2s-character-customization/

Yesterday, I mentioned that XCOM 2's extensive character customization is one of the best parts about the upcoming sequel, so I wanted to give you all a firsthand look at just how deep that rabbit hole goes. It may seem silly to spend large amounts of time customizing soldiers in a game where they're pretty much walking tombstones, but making each character my own helps grow my attachment to them. True, the soldier customization in XCOM 2 is probably way more detailed than it needs to be for how little you see the characters up close, but it's important! Watch the full video above to see all the options available.

DIABLO 3 PATCH 2.4.0 DETAILED AGAIN, AHEAD OF NEXT WEEK'S RELEASE

http://www.pcgamer.com/diablo-3-patch-240-detailed-again-ahead-of-next-weeks-release/

For most developers, a patch is a quick update that fixes a few bugs or maybe adds a seasonal hat, but for Blizzard they're milestone updates that introduce a pile of new content, for free. So it's not too surprising, but still quite odd, that we've been talking about Diablo 3's 2.4.0 patch for several months now. After some time in the Public Test Realm, the patch will finally be released for real, real soon. As in, next week.

 

FIREWATCH WILL TAKE AROUND SIX HOURS TO COMPLETE, DEV EXPLAINS

Firewatch finally releases on February 9, and judging by recent gameplay footage and Wes's observations, it's a game I'll definitely be checking out. I look forward to taking my sweet time in the game's 1980s version of the Wyoming wilderness, but if you're eager to burn through the story elements, it'll probably take around six hours.

 

JRPG STRANGER OF SWORD CITY RATED FOR PC

The ESRB has rated Japanese dungeon crawler Stranger of Sword City for PC ('T for Teen', if that's really why you're reading). Stranger of Sword City was ported to PC in Japan in 2014 and is expected to arrive on Western PS Vitas March 22, but the existence of an English PC version has been hearsay until now.

I always have this problem with threads that aren't on my buddy. The threads listed on "My Topics" always list one new post less than reality, which means that a thread with a single new post shows as 0 new replies.

It's weird but it has been happening to me since like forever, and no browser or hardware update has changed that.
