Support NeoGAF

[Levyne]

I had to read that line twice too.

 

[JaseC]

I bought the first Metal Gear game to hit Steam, and I fully expect more to arrive. I might as well pick up the first Halo game on Steam, with hopefully more waiting in the wings as well.

If nothing else, maybe strong Spartan Assault sales will compel MS to bring over other WinStore exclusives... such as ilomilo+. If it weren't for a certain Irish lass I'd probably have an ilomilo-related avatar as the characters are just the most adorable little things:

I was playing through Rage with a mate back in 2012 and at some point early into the game, while driving on flat road, the player vehicle was hurled straight up into the air and became stuck at the highest point in the world. There was no other option but to just exit the vehicle, crater, and begin again from the nearest checkpoint. To date it's the only wonky physics bug I've ever encountered in the game -- we tried our best to trigger the bug again but eventually gave up and continued with the campaign.

Hahaha only 'bug' I had in Rage was turning around too fast and freaking out the MegaTextures. Most games these days have sooo much QA that only bad or low budget games suffer from them en masse unless you go out of your way to break the game. I always remember tweaking the settings of a certain car in Gran Turismo 3 or 4 and it would take off like a rocket powered dragster and wheelie itself around the track. Bizarre thing was that it let you steer as well despite only having the back wheels in contact with the ground.

First Metal Gear Solid...
They'd have to... port it again, wouldn't they?
Or convince Microsoft to update and release their original port...

 

[Copons]

Euro Truck Simulator 2......ohhhh yes.

Before I buy, is it worth grabbing the gold bundle with Going East DLC?

Not if you think you're gonna hate those motherfucking Czech speed radars they usually hide in the most mischievous places of their beautiful country.

I wish the Legacy Collection came to Steam. I wouldn't even mind if they had to drop 4 because of Sony.

I've taken my chances, I'll be a good boy in the speed traps.

Time to whip out the G25 for the full experience.

 

[Turfster]

The PC port of 2 would definitely need to be updated.
Quite a lot of cutscenes are hardlock timed with antique videocards, which sends all cars flying on the bridge, for example.

 

[Tecl0n]

I could really use that 60fps MGS3, considering the graphical glitches that pcsx2 has.

 

[zeroOman]

WTF steam why did u re-downland the whole game again... shitt i have to wait 15h just to play Warframe did something like this happen before?

 

[Jawmuncher]

First Metal Gear Solid...

Guarantee the Source Code is lost so unless they want to just throw a .exe of MGS1 and call it a day. they'll have to go back to work on it.

It would be my though if they had a studio like Qloc do the work and had them all ported before we get MGSV.
Though obviously i'll take MGSV over nothing if they don't want to give us the older games.

 

[Shade]

Wow. Thanks a lot for HB1. It's the only one I was missing!!

No problem!

 

[Stallion Free]

I usually dislike Tottalbiscuit due to his opinions (I like his WTF is videos though), but i found this quote by him funny in the WTF is... Halo: Spartan Assault:

God that level of joke making says so much about him.

5$ seems like a fair price

 

[Jawmuncher]

Glad you guys are liking Spartan Assault.
I bought it on Windows 8 app store and it bored me to tears. I found it got old pretty quick but I haven't beaten it so we'll see if my opinion changes once I do.

 

[HoosTrax]

I'm reading the Steam page user reviews of Spartan Assault, and they're saying that IAPs were removed. Usually in games like this, the IAPs are there for a reason; the game would be either too difficult or too grindy if you're playing it normally. Is that addressed at all?

I'm actually playing a twin-stick shooter at the moment, iBomber Attack, which is probably an iOS port, but it was pretty easy to finish without feeling like I needed any boosters. (btw, this game has very little to do with bombers at all...)

It's supposedly very grindy, yeah. But that's only if you want to complete it 100%, as far as I know.

 

[didamangi]

Finished Psychonauts today (playing it for playfire rewards), not as good as I remembered it but it's still a fun journey.

Did they change Meat Circus somehow? I remembered dying a lot more that I did just now.

Oh yeah, definitely.

Spartan is a very easy game, no need to grind for a normal playthrough and the IAPs were never a problem. I would even suggest using the skull-modifiers to raise the difficulty.

Yes, it was made easier.

Someone take them:

There's always trashbot if you just wanna dump the last few that no one wants.

There are some good coupons there, no point in doing that.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Well shit, I just bought Minervas Den and then I noticed that I don't own Bioshock 2 after all.

[Thorgal]

Someone take them:

Ill take another skull .

Edit : thanks !

 

[fantomena]

If Dark Souls somehow told me that over 80% of my deaths came from falling down a cliff or an edge due to my dumb movements or me not knowing that Im still in the start/pause menu, I would believe it.

I thought that was MacGruber at first glance...

I would want some real life plushies of these things :O

 

[Thorgal]

Harvester makes me wish Phantasmagoria 1 and 2 was on Steam to revel in it's cheesy greatness .

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Rockstar's face

GTA IV is one of the worst ports of all time
Max Payne 3 is inundated with Social Club DRM
No news of GTAV's port yet

It's like they don't want us to play their games.

Is there a way to crack the game and remove Social Club entirely?

You serious? Then I'm glad I skipped the amazon sale.

 

[Anteater]

guess i'll give borderlands 2 another try with a new character

This is your best avatar yet Jasec, too bad it'll only last like 5 more days!

 

[MUnited83]

You serious? Then I'm glad I skipped the amazon sale.

Runs at around 10fps for me. On the high setting and on the low settings.

Is hands down the worst port I have ever experienced in my life.

 

[Tizoc]

It's... up?

 

[Anteater]

You serious? Then I'm glad I skipped the amazon sale.

On a i5 3570k and 760 gtx I couldn't get it to run at 60fps consistently, and this is how it looks:

However there aren't much performance lost with mods so it will at least looks good if you decide to mod it, I ended up playing it at like 40fps. It's a piece of shit port that was saved by mods.

Retro. http://steamstat.us/ is where it's at.

 

[corrosivefrost]

I wouldn't mind geetav never coming to PC.

How about it comes to PC and you just don't buy it?

 

[Parsnip]

I would because those impromptu moments you get where you've forgot to start recording and something magical or comical happens is still possible to be saved. I was faffing around in Resident Evil 4 and out of nowhere a Ganado started rushing me then stopped and started spinning on the spot pointing straight up in the air like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. Alt + F10 and thank you very much.

To date it's the only wonky physics bug I've ever encountered in the game -- we tried our best to trigger the bug again but eventually gave up and continued with the campaign.

I had this happen on Darksiders when I played it on 360. I wish I had had a proper recording solution for consoles back then, instead of just shooting the tv with a camera.

Has World of Zoo been in any bundles before the one at Bundlestars?
Looks like a good game for my kids but not that interested in the rest of the bundle.

So corny it's good.

Don't think so. First time in a bundle from what I can tell.

Hahaha awesome. It's the little things sometimes.

I want it to come to PC just to hear you give it an angry vivisection like you did Thief.

 

[X05]

yea they look like something out of zeno clash or something. i really enjoyed taking pictures of them the few times i went to watch


ah here i was thinking i had invented it

i just call it argieland because argentina is such a pretentious name for a country. also because it's full of argies!

To be fair, the name does make sense

Half-Life 13 confirmed.

All PC HL + HL1 PS2 + HL2 XB = 12
:O

Yeah it's great stuff, go to the cock fighting ring at the very far west part of the map and the minimum bet is $50,000 so you can get the achievement with just one win.

Yeah, that's how I did it. Got the Tourist achievement along with it.

Same here. The Infowlable achievement for Sleepy Dogz is the first thing to unlock in the last few weeks and I only got half credit for it for some reason.

Good to know I'm not the only one that got half the reward for that one.

I signed up a week ago and it tracked everything for the first couple days just fine but it hasn't properly tracked my recent stuff in the last 3 or so days, only partial achievements.

Dunno, hoping it fixes itself somehow or they manually do it.

Playfire is being wonky, it hasn't recognized the AC GOTY achievements I got yesterday, nor the ones from Blackgate (or some others I got a couple of days ago and I never got the "link to steam" reward either).
I guess it's expected since it's a beta, but it'd be nice if we had a button to force sync or something.

can i just use the archievement manager thing for playfire rewards?

Yup.

You'll get banned if you do, so don't.

Money in the Playfire/GMG bank:

I'll try to get up some thoughts on it, Mirror of Fate, and the Castlevania LOS2 DLC in the next day or so.

Nice!
I just started it, are there any particularly difficult/annoying achievements?
