STEAM | September 2015 - The Phantom Pre-Load or: AAA Movies Are Just +1s To Us

Not open for further replies.
Last night I gave in to the hype and bought Phantom Pain 2 hours before it was released, so I could get the bonus stuff. Why? No idea, I still haven't finished Portable Ops nor played the ones that came after it. Plus my PC can't run it (it couldn't run Ground Zeroes either, and I had purchased it in the Summer Sale).

This is the first time I impulse buy a $60 game. One that I'm not even going to play for a long time. I hate myself now :(
 
We definitely need to use Salsa's title for the thread next month and then every thread there on out. The amount of shit I've bought at loopy prices just because is quite worrying. STEAM | ∞ - Celebrating Disease
 
Guy's stop posting MGS in Community. I guess I'll ignore that page until my game downloads.

Quick, someone post that Steam Hentai Weekend Sale pic.

Can't find the other on so have this instead...

yeah, we definitely have a problem (I blame Jasec, of course), but I wouldn't go as far as celebrating it. We need much better solution, only I have no idea what that solution could be, seeing as trying not to buy doesn't do much, does it?


edited: for the love of all that's sane, please don't quote that pic, and Milamber, could you kindly spoiler tag it, please?
 
Is the MGSV Documentary included with the install, a separate DLC item or something loopy like CDPR did for The Witcher 2 bonuses and put under Tools?

Also...

No wonder I got fuck all done last month. I don't think King of the Steam Thread - August '15 Edition is an accolade that will get me very far in life.

Welcome to Wasteland :D

Certainly looks better than a lot of the official promotional shots shown off. Then again doesn't Mad Max have a photo mode of its own? Also what's the skinny on console performance in comparison?

I'm glad I have enough self-control to not do this kind of thing.
Being short on money also helps, lol.

It has its own Free on Demand sub. The devs of Ride did the same thing (advertised a video as a pre-purchase incentive but released it separately for free).

Edit: Oh, wait, it has the MustOwnAppToPurchase flag. Trust Konami to go about something in a stupid way.

Edit^2: Ah, Ride's video is set up similarly. At least Konami wasn't the first to do it, unlike that other thing. ;) Valve needs to add a "This content requires ..." notice to video pages.

you have to search for metal gear solid legacy and then if you own TPP you can click watch which will then put it in your library in the "video" section
 
SMH Kojima

Why dafuq u no use fokken hairwroks for diamond dog? He'd be so handsome ffs kojimaaaa!!!

KOOOOJIIIIMAAAA!

Also BBs beard and hair would look so good and quiets hair omg pls

Tho Percentage Closer Soft Shadows would look amazing on quiets boobies amirite guis

I'm tired ok

do u rike it? yes i do, now to enable hbao+ through NCP

edit: ermehgerd. Think if they had subsurface occlusion

That would look amazing on the boobies guys

u guys?

;_;

But no really, am actually disappointed that there aren't more GameWorks effects in there. Having had an Nvidia card for a long time, and likely going for one when I upgrade, I like the future-proofing it provides for games even if you can't run them all at max and all that jazz.

Also Dogg I'm gonna invade yo ass so hard... :3
 
You know for a moment before I left the house this morning I dithered about installing Max Mad over MGSV. Don't think they will go well together back to back though so Maximilian might have to wait a while until I get to his Mad adventures.

Hahaha well I'm sure they can keep on using the 'we're new to Steam' excuse. Cheers for the heads up and link though.

Maniac by name, Maniac by nature. Well you'll be waiting a good day or 2 until I get it installed and then if I can be bothered to setup a FOB after Konami completely fucked that mode up it seems.
 
Glad to see Mad max isn't a fuck up like Arkham Knight, but I'm gonna hold off til it's $10-15 during the Winter Seal.

Speaking of which it's September!

NEW DOCTOR WHO
NOBUNAGA'S AMBITION
OTHER STUFF I FORGOT IS RELEASING THIS MONTH

You cool.

I uses Capture mode to take this and beside DOF i think that there is no difference between in-game visuals and visuals in Capture mode. Both consoles keep steady 30FPS @1080p for 90% of the game as far as i saw.
 
That Metal Gear Solid Legacy video was phenomenal! I love that people like Guillermo del Toro, Harry Gregson-Williams and Refn are all commenting on Hideo Kojima.

Well at least there's no hideous HUD in the way and I'm guessing you can move the camera freely? Wished more and more games just shipped with simulation pause and free camera modes as fucking loads of debuggers have them (and we used to have access to them via console commands) as it's awesome for screenshotting. Can't believe both consoles are at 30fps when it looks to be very robust on the PC side of things. That's a couple of PC versions from PC centric developers that have been an exponential leap over their console counter parts now (Ryse, Alien Isolation, Mordor, maybe a few others). Guessing Open World CPU load as a possibility so benches would be nice to see.

HUD customization in options would be nice for people who like to play games without HUD. But for screenshots Capture Mode is awesome. You have free cam and camera settings + filters. Also they included Video mode where you can set up camera settings and record your gameplay and if you use additional gamepad second person can control camera during gameplay

You can notice mediocre textures in the end this was cross-gen title for a long time and Ultra textures for PC + additional AA options would be nice. But all in all Avalanche did awesome job from technical standpoint.
 
I just want to say it's been a good time to be a horror fan lately. There's been so many good horror games in the last year, and there's more and more in the woodworks, and even the several horror titles that released in the last week, most of them are actually pretty good.
 
Also Mad Max is kicking ass on Steam Reviews. Currently it is at 97% (500+ votes). I guess PC gamers really appreciate good ports :D

I need Nobunaga's Ambition in my veins.
Also, please put RotTK on Steam already, KOEI.

Faith on Steam reviews, restored!
 
everyone always forgets Nep Nep, 3 should release in September and that's only game I'm buying all month, seriously



looks better than I expected tbh, at least in those screens

I started with Nep Nep 1 last week, only in chapter 2 since I have quite limited play time nowadays. It's a fun game :D
 
You're wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
