3. Choose installed Uplay game from list and click "add selected programs".
Or did you mean something else?
I had a lot of fun, never played the original though.

Last time I tried that it just loaded Uplay and not the game itself. Maybe thats not the case anymore, will have to try again and see when I get the chance.
I just tried it with Blacklist and it just loads Uplay, not the game. Notice that fancy new banner when you load up Uplay, it links back to Steam.
There is a setting that you have to turn on to enable auto-save. Many people have been bothered by the save system in the game but to me it's pretty much saving at a crystal in final fantasy. This explains it better:
Lossa is a robot the engineer kid carries around with him. The save points look like a golden coin on the ground with the "S" yin yang symbol that is in the logo.
Can't you force Uplay to autostart a select game with commandline parameters? Should help here...
Hey guys, a reminder that I'm organising another DOTA2 night for tomorrow, at an earlier time for the UK chaps.
When we are playing: Estimate Time

For anyone waiting to play NBA 2K15. Pre-load will be up soon: http://steamcommunity.com/app/282350/discussions/0/616189742753896342/
There's a fan-made patch that makes it run fine. I'd be OK with that port being released on Steam, provided it comes with the patch.
Of course, better resolution and improved textures wouldn't hurt, but the port was good. It even had the option to save through the menu instead of the codec (of course, you'd miss Mei Ling's teachings if you did that).

How does this work? I'd like to play.
Reply here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=866348&page=9 and Uzzy will add you to the list.
I can take a reserve slot if nobody else turns up. Like last week. ;w;

Looks like the reviews are coming in for Alien: Isolation and it's looking pretty positive. PCGamer gave it a 93. You may now get hype.
Sorry I wasn't there. I was at 11 and waited around until 11:30 but no lobby was made so I went to sleep
Edit: PCGamer review
RPS also have theirs live

Participating in the 52 Games 1 Year Challenge that MRORANGE created was a great way to make me want to finish games in my backlog, it's really fun
Next year you should definitely participate in it(I mean, you can participate in it now if you want, but you'd probably have to be speedy gonzales to finish 36 more games before the year ends.
I was already on a mission, but that thread helped me get over the hump! Currently sitting at 66 myself and i'm a good 17 hours into VLR. Funny when a VN takes longer than about 2/3s of the other games I've played this year.
I've managed to also not bite on new releases, skipped Destiny (wait till it's patched up, GOTYed, and put on the PC at a decent price) and Mordor (I've played 3 Asscreed games and 2 Batman games this year, I can wait for LOTR Batman to get cheaper). I *should* be fine from here on out given that the only game I'm kinda eyeing for a day one purchase is CODAW as part of my yearly MP shooter fix.

Gamespot and IGN seem to be going against the grain.
Awesome. I've been excited for it ever since that first image, liked the aesthetics of it all. Was starting to feel foolish for buying it in advance of hands-on impressions, even with russian prices, but I'm glad the reviews are positive. I'm usually terrible with stealth games though, ha. Hopefully this teaches me to be more cautious.
Simply say you want to play, add me as a friend on Steam, then show up to play tomorrow. Easy!
hey hey...last week was fun, my first time with techies - too bad we lost lol
Techies sure looked crazy. Was a lot of fun though, even if we lost!
Sorry I wasn't there. I was at 11 and waited around until 11:30 but no lobby was made so I went to sleep
Well, I'm organising the game for an earlier time, given how many UK players we got last time. So are you still interested?
Not funny when 70% of what you read in a VN is unnecessary fluff.
Been playing Phoenix Wright 5 for the last two months, and the game sure could use an editor or two - there's just too low of a SNR ratio for the text.

That's one point less than DA2
The review scores are all over the place!
*shudder*. Never mind, PCGamer obviously a joke outlet since that game is literal garbage.
Can't this Saturday I'm afraid. Got plans. But I do want to get in on one of these hopefully soon.
Sorry. I would have linked to the review but it's blocked at my work, derp. It's on PCGamers site though and there's a review thread here
Right grumpy old man post time! A review score tells me nothing on it own. All it does it say is if someone liked, was indifferent or didn't like a title but never answers the pertinent question and that is why. Doesn't help when the majority of the review threads that pop up on here are just a list out outlets and their corresponding score with no quote for context. It's useless information unless it's just to seek validation or affirmation on a prepurchase you made.'Oh so and so says this is good so phew that preorder wasn't a waste of time' is the feeling I get from browsing most review threads when all things fall into place for them but it's fucking anarchy when it doesn't meet the arbitrary score they have set out in their heads for a game they haven't even played.
*grumbles off back to work*
*grumbles off back to work*
a review score gives a "overall" grade on a game though. as for the second part.. its probably due to the hype train.
Fair enough, I'm hoping to make these a weekly occurrence, so you'll have the opportunity soon I hope.
Well from the little 5-10 minutes I glanced over reviews and neogaf reaction, seems like a poster summarized pretty well : to some reviewers the game is too long for its own good and the alien AI being too unpredictable, mixed with a classic save-point system makes the game too hard.
Now that's a gross summary of the negative reviews and parts of these elements will be positive to some people.
I can totally see a game based on a brilliant idea but not meaty enough to support 15 hours though.
Not sure if you're talking about the Alien Review thread or not, but I just gave it a glance and man is it a painful read. Essentially stroking those who reviewed it well while also slandering/discrediting those who scored it low.
Read at your own risk.
This is why I like the thumbs up / down / ~ thing Steam uses, as it will only provide the most basic of indications for the game along with the total reviews involved, while I can then simply flick through reviews in full for a better indication and clear understanding of just how subjective the reviews are and I can disregard joke posts. Far more useful than IGN - "Amazing", then look up the review to find you have no idea of where the quote was taken from. Perhaps it was from the sentence "It is amazing how bad this game is"?!

so its a review thread
Yeah reviews don't mean poo to me only when they are able to point out serious flaws within a game, and real flaws not the ones were said reviewer doesn't know how to play. Sure they provide a so called baseline of the game, but we all like different things. Someone who hates tower defense games is already going to have a negative mindset when giving a review of that genre. It really helps validate the idea that they didn't fuck when purchasing a game. I know I've felt this way before when I've pre ordered something.
I did, my friend, I did.
Having played the beta thing, they're not wrong to do it
I also read

Remember Uncharted 3's? That was truly something!
No you guys all miss my point. 93 tells me nothing, How on earth do you quantify your enjoyment in a number? It's massively different and varied for a lot of reason and even more so person to person but the conclusion that leads to the score and not the score itself is the most important factor. So while 93 does tell me that the reviewer enjoyed the game using this...
while not perfect tells me an awful lot more and took as much work to copy and past than grabbing a review score. It gives me a taste of the reviewers experience and has a link to go read the review. This isn't a condemnation on how things go with review threads here but there's a big hook up on review scores and not the reviews themselves and it happens bloody everywhere. Just read the comments on any site that has a review, sometimes it's entertaining in itself.
Touche.
Guess it's been a while since I read one that had such polarized press opinions to draw from. It makes some poster's agenda stick out so blatantly. "X-site scored it low, I never liked them anyway." "This guy scored it well, and I only trust his reviews."
So sad.

To be fair the low scores mostly come from sites/reviewers that have bad reputations for good reasons. Still I think it's great that we get totally different opinions, should happen more often.

If some reviewers tries to compare it to Halo 4 or CoD and writes something about "Press A to awesome would be good in that game", I wonder if you should take such a review seriously...
Edit: Oh. That was some fake quote

Or in another interpretation, the reviews thread is some people not finding a few reviews very useful or insightful, and those reviews happen to sync up with the low scores.
Don't forget the Last of Us! Although I've never actually read it, but I can just assume it was bad.

Sounds great, man. My hats are at the ready.
Oh totally, I wasn't trying to discuss your point, just putting a gross summary for those that haven't read the reviews.

Anyone beat shadows of mordor yet ?
Says there's only. 20 styory missions is that true? Just feels odd the point I'm at doesn't feel like end game. The last mission must be long or something.

Hahaha yeah I got that. I'm being grumpy towards the practice though of being reductive and not really giving context to the reviews themselves. The Alien Isolation thread is just easy pickings for me to illustrate that as one it follows the formula, two has discussion about scores and not reviews themselves, and three was brought up in here with minimal context making me go look for it in the first place.
Right time to go do something cheery and not piss you lot off with my ramblings
Shadownet beat it. Search for his post
