Yeah, for me the leap from Metal Gear 4 to Rising with regards to the spread of cyborg tech was too great, in Rising suddenly everyone was a cyborg, you just had legions of them casually strutting around. It was like the plot of the Terminator films was unfolding but nobody gave a shit. Gameplay wise its a fun game but I have trouble thinking of it as part of the Metal Gear franchise.
This shouldn't happen when it's paired with your PC, or at least it doesn't for me.

No, it's not okay. In this case a poster fucked up and is trying to make up for it which is respectable. If not specifically mentioned otherwise you should only take codes for your own use.

Thanks for Shadowgrounds, Deques.
No it isn't. Which is why most people show their ire to people that do that. Stump generally blacklists those people.
And muchos gracias for the sequel.
You waited until the dude gave back 5 games before trying to pile on?
Here's a raffle:

While I don't mind it as canon I do agree that the jump from MGS4 to Rising is a big one.
Really does feel like something should be inbetween.

It is kinda sad some people's reactions to something nice happening is how they can work the system.
Picked up Mark of the Ninja in the winter sale, and just now getting around to it. About 3 levels in right now, and I'm really digging it. Been killing a lot though. Would be interesting to do a run that kills the least amount you can (I don't know if you're ever required to.)
Also, I'm not in the Steam GAF group. If anybody's willing to invite me, that'd be swell. Here is my account.

Sorry I'm on mobile. First I read through all of this and then it takes me ages to type my post here. I didn't want to be rude

1) Oh how I would loath having a cable stretching from the TV across the living room to my couch.
2) RPG and Platformers. Survival Horrors are also a big plus- so the Alan Wake recommendation is one I will look at. I enjoy strategy games as well, but they don't lend themselves to controller play so we can nix that.
XCOM EU works well with a controller if all the posts saying this in the OT are anything to go by. I'm using kb&m for the game so can't personally comment but there is a demo on Steam which gives a tiny sense of what the game offers if you think you might be interested in it. I've played it for almost 200 hours so far so unsurprisingly I heartily commend it to you

Got you.
Thanks, appreciate it.
I tried to invite you literally a second after I saw your post but someone ninja'ed me :lol
Mind adding me as well? I am currently putting together my PC so would love to be part of it as well. Here's my account.

Cheers! I had it for the PS3 for awhile and it I actually picked it up during the Winter sale for cheap. I never finished it on the PS3 but completely forgot it was in my library (ugh I should do something about that).
That is a good one to add to my list

You know, with each game the canon becomes gradually more fucked and slightly less enriched. I don't really understand Kojima's obsession with Big Boss, as if he's a really tragic figure whose back story needs to be explored in multiple games. He should have tied up Big Boss with MGS3 and one more game. I can't wait to play Rising though, looks really good, but I am starting to get bored with Big Boss and that whole mythology surrounding his era and character. He's not as interesting as you think, Hideo.

Done, thanks for posting the link to your profile; makes it soooooo much easier
.EDIT - you're welcome PorkWing
. Glad it is on your list; enjoy!So I bought a dualshock 4 controller and finally got a bluetooth adapter to pair it and get it set up. I'm still not sure if I like it more than the 360 controller yet for analog heavy games, but having the touchpad support with the XInput wrapper is awesome. I try to play my games from the couch whenever possible, and Risk of Rain annoyed me because the gamepad wouldn't work in the menus. Using the DS4 touchpad for menu navigation worked swimmingly.
That's a joke, right?

Definitely won't disagree with you there.
Big Boss has been far to prominent. But then again Hideo kind of screwed himself since MGS4 wraps ups Snakes Story. Since it looks like the future of MGS is what he wants to leave to his team when he finally decides to stop making MGS games. All I have been wanting since MGS4 is a remake of Metal Gear 1 and 2. That way we can get solid snake back and actually have the original games far more playable this day and age.

pleasure is still mine
I'm going to chime in and say people should play this game. Maybe it's just me, but for me this is a great game.
