Woop! Finally got fiber installed in the house after a long negotiation with my landlord. Goodbye shitty WiFi-connection shared with another apartment, you won't be missed!

I think you don't really know me, because I'm not like one of those people who "Oh, is Kojima, EVERYTHING is possible", not really, and I don't condiser a masterpiece every MGS game.
I just think MGS3 is very possible, otherwise I can't explain those cutscenes, the post from the Konami PR on the Reddit page (we had two posts, the first one teasing something important for the 30th Anniversary, and the other one for Gamescom's booth).
Of course it's something MGS related, and it can't be the Definitive Edition.

Woop. As promised, the replacement PSU is here via corsair / scan UK, in the 3 days quotes. Now to hope to fuck it works, because putting the PSU into this ITX machine is a pain in the arse

Man, I was totally ready to take a bit of a break from Alan Wake, and work on the DLC in a few months time. The game is great (imo) but I cannot believe the ending of episode 6, which was the end of the original game
no real conclusion, and i've since found out that the plot is continued in the 2 DLC episodes
.

Also, Witcher 3's Ansel support is out. Haven't downloaded the patch yet (Hitman is still downloading) so I don't know how well it works or anything.

Oh and you probably(?) need the latest nvidia drivers that also just released. They are GameReady for Deus Ex as well.

Yeah I can see that being the case for some people. It demands a person willing to get engrossed in the writing and atmosphere, and suits a casual play style. Personally I love the writing and the exploring, characters, choices and lineages that follow after death. I also really like the additional stories and options they have added over time. Combat is a bit me, but that's about it. The atmosphere of the game is just brilliant, along with the soundtrack and sound design to match.

The Survival aspect of No Man's Sky is a weird one. Materials necessary for survival are available in abundance, this way there is never a feeling of threat or working to stay alive. Despite the ground and space combat aspects, it is a totally relaxing experience throughout. I did die by a lack of experience on my first space dogfight but even then, the repercussions where minimal. Traveling back to your "grave" gives you all your loot back and even if not, there are very minimal actually rare elements.
So far the crafting aspect is also not well implemented. You learn new blueprints but the item variety is lacking and their uses even more so. It's entertaining but with a little bit change it could become a whole lot more. I'm not sure how far reaching content updates will be but I hope they flesh out these systems extensively.

I loved the writing, but I never could get far.

Speaking of, I hope there's some sort of fail indicator for certain achievements. I was rather miffed when I finished Human Revolution and didn't unlock Foxiest of the Hounds (complete the game without setting off an alarm).

Wait which one? The 2nd Rocket Knight game or the 3rd one that was released on Steam, PSN and XBL? Cuz I liked the latter.

The sequel sucked ass. Soul less, vapid and bad.

The third game played badly on KB/M, amongst the other complaints about the third game.

I would do lewd things for a new game

Anyway, what do people here think those two mystery games that will be streamed by IGN?

You'll always be the foxiest of hounds to us!

(Same thing happened to me in Dishonored. I put someone to sleep and, apparently, he ragdolled right off of a balcony. I had no idea and I don't recall noticing it at the end of the mission. No achievement.)

It's all in there. Also confirms the battle system is gonna be bad if you didn't like the platinum demo. FFXV is gonna be the new Witcher 3 when if comes to combat talk. Though I always thought Witcher was alright. From the demos FF15 is just cumbersome

The leak also confirmed that the tech is a mess, doesn't run on consoles at all and that everybody in the team is shitting his pants.



Spoiler yourself

Part of me is expecting a bigger mess than 13. Aside from open World apologists, who say it's the best FF because you can run around barren land and do busy work.

but FF13 wasn't a mess, it ran OKeish and combat is actually fun

if FF15 plays as bad as a demo and in that E3 demo of theirs, I don't see myself enjoying it.

I liked FF13 as well. But by mess I mean reception wise. While it reviewed ok, the backlash I'd huge on that game.

Nice, so all leaks were true. Now I know this game will suck hard, I don't know if I should cancel my preorder or not at this point.
