STEAM | August 2015 - Three versions of Windows since the last Half-Life

How long does it take to get a refund from Origin? I just got BF4 premium from the russian store and its language locked even tho the site said it had full set of languages.

Trying to refund it and get the mexican one for 17bux instead. If they approve the refund before the sale ends, that is.

when I had to do a refund they got back in touch with me a day or 2 later then the refund showed up on my card about 2 or 3 days after that...so not too long (no idea if that hurts your chances on a sale though)
 
thats okay, it aint WB

but after skimping hard on the PC versions of both mortal kombat and arkham knight are you guys seriously gonna pre-order the pc version of the next game theyll publish?
No. On the other hand, BernardoOne where's the MGSVs?
Super-late answer, but karma's kinda broken in New Vegas. Stealing is like -1 karma, killing a fiend is like +100 karma, so even if you steal everything that isn't nailed down (and bring a crowbar for everything that is), you'll probably still have positive karma.

Not that it matters outside of which level 50 perks are available and that one companion might leave you if your karma gets and stays super low (but she warns you ahead of time anyway). Reputation is the one to worry about.
I see, as long as I stay liked by townsfolks, I can continue to be "renegade" right?

I find it funny that Steam reviews mainly only focus on whether or not some games are good ports. It doesn't matter if it sucks or not.

Anyway. Fairy Fencer F is working horribly with an XBox One controller on Windows 10.

Ugh... Good to know I guess. I will consult a wiki before purchase.

You really don't need to play MGSV right at release, and the whole series is worth playing. About 2 years ago I decided to check out the series and it holds up incredibly well.

1 has a great story with some frustrating controls, but everything else plays well. The games aren't all that long if you try and B-line through them and you've got the time for it. You probably won't finish them all in time for MGSV but might be worth trying your best if you can.

I wouldn't recommend it because I do think it will dilute your enjoyment, but the ones most important to MGSV will probably be MGS3, and maybe reading a Wiki on Peace Walker.

everyone needs to stop fooling themselves thinking MGSV will make any lick of more sense by playing the previous games

it's gonna be a nonsensical crazy fun trainwreck regardless

My fear is M$ will try to push xboxlive app into PC Developers. I hope PC Devs don't make the same mistake again...

Why would that matter? If the application incorporates it, then it's already a win10 app, the extra permissions to hook into xbox live at that point it's asking for are irrelevant. You're crucially missing the crux of what was wrong with GFWL if the sign in itself was the issue.

But you might have a fighting chance of understanding basic things in an already confusing story by playing the earlier games, both for story and learning how Kojima builds his story and how to make sense of it.

I promise
almost.

Man Ace Combat Assault Horizon would be so much better if they toned down the importance of the dogfight mechanic. I mean, it's not a horrible mechanic, but it is incredibly repetitive and is REQUIRED to kill certain planes.

That is if the person reviews the game. Its one of the most useless features on Steam now due to how its handled. Everyone's just trying to make the most obtuse review possible half the time.

Doesn't MGSV pretty much encapsule all the other games anyway? I mean, all the same characters are back-- you've got Snake, Ocelot, Otakon, Sniper Lady, etc.
 

I think the game places graves of people who played the game.
And I found Shadownet's grave on my game last night. I found other graves of my steam friends who own the game as well previously. Perhaps the graves are showing that those players died once on those particular spots?

That's what I just said, no? :p

If you had Ningen or me on your list, there would be a bunch of graves for us. :D

fucking shawn ashmore

I kinda dig this tho



still need to pick an xbone controller

I just want a wireless one
He became stone cold at the end of The Following though, better than the whiney bitch he was in Smallville.

And that couldn't have been more generic of a cover.

For you.
Just watched the Scalebound footage.



Goddamn.



Goddamn.

If this doesn't get a PC port down the line this might very be well the one thing that sells me on a Xbone.

I have my doubts but I'll keep my eye out for it.

In my opinion Death To Spies 2 was great. I trust that they will do a good job again with this one.

I keep seeing The Phantom Pain in my library. Hovering over it thinking maybe by some chance I can preload it or play it early. Why do these companies like to torture gamers with preorders. Fucking Konami.

The month wait for it is going to be so painful :(

It looked amazing.

Ok, how did I missed this one? Looks great so far.
They'll need to show me another RPG or two to sold me on XB1 though.
