Is Far Cry 3 really as broken on Steam as I've heard? I'm not fussed about a £1.24 difference (Amazon), but if Steam doesn't work properly with the game, then I'll go retail.

Played 14 hours of it and it seems fine.

Sorry, I should have been more specific: is the overlay/Steam in-game features actually broken? I saw that other thread about AC3 and FC3 on Steam compared to retail/UPlay, and people were saying how none of Steam's usual features work in the Steam versions of these games.

Steam's in-game overlay and even the store features work perfectly fine when using Uplay with Anno 2070.

I must be worse at maths than I thought. It appears to be cheaper to buy the far cry games seperatly than the franchise pack? :S

I've heard the same. I saw that it would be better to buy the game retail or even off Uplay and add a shortcut to Steam. I'm not sure though, and I'm wondering if I should buy it from Steam or not too.

everyone must buy mark of the ninja!

Skyrim worth the 18pound? I bought it for PS3, but only got a few hours in, as it was broken beyond repair for PS3.

You can get it for like £15 elsewhere I think. Although, it depends if you'd want to wait for delivery etc.
Really great game though, I'd recommend it.

Gave in and purchased Anno 2070 and Sins of a Solar Empire, need me some good RTS now that ive given up on Pandaria.

iamtheoneneo · 30 Dec 2012 at 18:52

doom3 1.99 may just grab that, and dont get the BFG edtion - its not doom 3!

Nemeses · 30 Dec 2012 at 18:58

aah well gave in and got Age of Empires III: Complete, for £7.50, the hours I will get out of it is a bargain

Jed Shields · 30 Dec 2012 at 19:02

Far Cry 3 - is this as cheap as it's likely to get? Has it been cheaper than this?

£19.99 on Amazon is the cheapest so far unless you look at the MM.

dakaiez · 30 Dec 2012 at 19:05

I doubt it'll get any cheaper.

Nate75 · 30 Dec 2012 at 19:07

yep it won't go any less through Steam.

Just got it myself

Jed Shields · 30 Dec 2012 at 19:07

Think I'll treat myself in that case

I got it for 12 from cjs's Russian version. It's the first time i've ever bought a grey market game and I won't be doing it again. It plays fine but you need to be connected to a Russian vpn everytime you want to play it. Still it's a decent game but I'm not as into it as I was in the Fallout games.

How do you gain access to the members market?
