Really tempted.
This gif is just so good, but I'll wait until a Steam sale when it reaches $5.

Yeah, Foxengine was obviously made with x86/windows compatibility in mind. Bodes very well for future Konami games and PS4/XONE remasters coming to PC, too.
What does Konami have other than MGS and PES which is not on PC and you would like to see on PC?
About older titles. I have no programming knowledge, so I am not sure whether it's feasible/easily manageable to "port" MGS HD collection to PC? Hope I am wrong.
Konami could outsource ports though.

Silent Hills is the next one since its in Fox Engine as well. Don't think they have anything else announced though. Thus a MGS collection and Silent Hill collection are the only other things we really need on steam ATM.
For main MGS games, I always buy the physical collectors edition. So this means I will probably have to purchase the console collectors edition and a steam copy.
producing it and he 'produced' lords of shadow so I'm not expecting the worst

So I just finished up Fairy Bloom Freesia.
The battle system is pretty fun. It sort of reminds me of Tales of Symphonia's, like how you move linearly through a battlefield (although this game also has vertical movement, with platforms you can stand on), rack up your combos, and assign 4 special skills to your character (although you can't switch them out on the fly here). You get skills and buffs when you level up, but you have to unlock and master them with the money you earn from killing enemies. You can unlock 10 skills that enhance your basic combo and don't use your mana, and 20 special skills that do. You can also equip buffs that enhance your damage, guarding ability, heath points, etc., but you can only equip 2 of these at a time. There's a pinball mechanic, where you hit enemies into other enemies, which helps clean up things faster.
Story is okay, although you've got a lolicon and a girl wearing panties and a bra over a skintight circuit board looking thing... I dunno. I kind of just breezed through it, although it was sort of interesting the first go around, I think? If you use new game plus on story mode, you can fast forward through cutscenes, which is nice, but I'd rather be able to skip them entirely.
The difficulty is pretty inconsistent... The regular days with normal enemies are pretty easy, except for the ones when you have to protect these vortexes, since they each get their own health bars and if any single one is depleted, you have to restart the day. I hated those on every difficulty except for easy, since they recharge there. Boss days are tougher, but that's when I had the most fun. Unfortunately, if you use new game plus, it gets really easy to cheese your way though boss fights with Peacock.
I guess my last complaint is that there wasn't much enemy variety. There are I think 4 different enemies types - blobs, stick guys, birds, and those guys based on the first boss. I really got fatigued because of it, because I played through the story mode 3 times (on easy, difficult, and cruel), and did guardian mode (99 days long).
The story mode takes about an hour and a half to beat the first time. I apparently took 14-15 hours to unlock everything... I don't really recommend doing that, because I'm pretty sick of the game now. But it's a pretty decent beat 'em up to waste time with.

Now now, Jaw, don't pay full price for Ground Zeroes. that shit ain't worth $30, it aint worth $20. Get it at $10 as that's kinda reasonable.
never gonna be able to get it for keys because konami. Still, you could probably get a metal gear dota carry for 4 keys, so don't lose hope.

Indeed, this has been a great start to the new generation of consoles, simply because I can ignore them as pretty much everything I'm interested in ends up on PC.
Figures, we had sunny weather for the last two weeks, 25-30 C temperatures all around. Now it started to rain, and looking at the forecast it will continue to do so on my wedding day. Lovely.
MGS V news is great though... Kind of wondering how *bad* the console sales are getting as everyone and their dog seems to re-release their games on PC nowadays.

I did already pay 60 for the PS4 and Xbone versions. Guess I could wait it out on that one.
Platform exclusive boxes. Buy them all for the definitive experience.

Its great news! Im hoping its not region locked so I can get it on the cheap from the russians
you wanted to say modbot, I assume

I would not be surprised to see that happen.
Silent Hill, Zone of the Enders, Suikoden, older Castlevania titles (see: Symphony of the Night) comes to mind.
Konami's overall output is actually relatively poor.

Thats boring. Shouldve just kept dave, most likely cause of thecash required for the new guy. Either way I dont like protagonist who are quite most of the time and let the supporting cast do all the talking
gotta agree with you, enemy variety would do wonders for this game, as combat is fun.

Only Silent Hill is left among the big names inside Konami's game trove? Hmm, I thought an old Japanese Pub/Dev would have much more known games. Guess I am thinking about Capcom. Deep Down/Dragon's Dogma is not Konami?
It's beautiful actually. Interestingly lots of games which are full-exclusive on consoles - which make me even consider getting them at some point - are Indie-type games. Rime, Wild etc. Haha, how things have changed.
Guess MG Revengeance sold well on PC? (Semi-)Official numbers would be interesting.
A big Pub like Konami almost "embracing" PC now could serve as a sign to other Japanese companies to follow, no?

IT BEGINS
Yeah you're thinking capcom. Konami makes more revenue in mobile and other things so their game output nowadays is limited to MGS and PES along with castlevania which just wrapped up.

He's not wrong. Outside of Revengence, the other MGS games haven't done well on Steam.
you didn't just called Suikoden, ZoE and Castlevania poor output
tell me you didn't

Just people salty about another move from one system to another. Nothing to see here.
Despite the fact the series began on MSX and NES elsewhere but w/e.

Yeah, it's a shame it was so repetitive, it had some real potential. Still good for about 5 hours or so of play though.
In other news, I just realized I get motion sick with first person view after trying to play Kairo. Any tips to get over this? lol

I'm glad the store pages went up quick unlike Revengeance which was doing whatever the hell until the winter sale last year .
Attractive people. You probably aren't used to the sound.
