Pretty sure today.
I wouldn't worry TOO much about it as the Winter sale starts in a few weeks and will
hopefully

I wouldn't say it would take away from being immersed if both options were present.
With the parrying mechanic he still just stands there and blocks sometimes. So more or less it would just be an option to the player. Platinum would be able to handle having both and for players to never use it because of parry.
I guess the easy mode was the fix for that for some players but I still know a lot of people who stopped because of it. Especially since they didn't want to lower it to easy.

Is it pointless to speculate on the likelihood of a game coming to a Humble bundle? A Story About my Uncle looks interesting and the price is right but my gut tells me it'll end up in a bundle next year.
Maybe it will, maybe it won't, but the game is worth every single cent.

Mine has finally been shipped. Now to wait at least a week until I can install it.
Yesterday's 2-day deals will expire tomorrow, at 1:00 PM EST.
Yesterday's 1-day deals will expire today, at 1:00 PM EST.
Items on sale but not currently in a deal will also no longer be on sale as of 1:00 PM EST, based on their timers.
It's possible we'll get a special repeat daily today, where certain deals from the sale will come back, but that won't change the above.

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
I've never played a Metal Gear Solid game either, as I've never owned a Playstation of any kind. Just one of those franchises that I've never had the chance to play.
I can easily fix that. But I'm not going to since I'm getting a new one soon.
Oh and elizabeth apparently was a redhead for a little while.
Well sorta. She put some red time in her brunette hair. It look really nice. Subtle..
Anyway, I cannot be excited for MGS Ground Zeroes at all yet I'm excited for GTA V Lol and I beat both on PS3 haha
I dunno man, I've not played any of the MGS games after Konami more or less left the PC space. I wont be caught up until they release a remaster or whatever. I'd love to say it's due to the PEEZEE MASTARÆS, but in reality I just couldn't justify the cost of games on consoles, especially when I dislike the majority of games with a controller :|
... I still bought a PS3 at launch though. And only ever bought 4 games for it... >_>

Well, you could try to hunt down MGS 1 and 2 (they had PC releases but only retail) but I don't recommend doing that if you live in a country like mine. YEARS went by before I could get my hands on a MGS2 DVD, and had to settle for a PSX copy of MGS1.
Sony didn't create Raiden, the series has always been entirely in Konami's/Kojima's hands. In fact up until MGS4, which either became an unportable mess being developed in the early Cell days or was moneyhatted by Sony, every game had been on multiple platforms. It's just that the Solid games always came to Playstation first due to the N64's technical limitations and after that the PS2's dominating position in Japan particularly.

It's perfect bundle material. Unless you want to play it immediately, just wait for a bundle to happen.
I was browsing the Steam store and noticed that I somehow own the season pass for Watch Dogs (and indeed all of it's DLC). I bought the digital deluxe edition at launch but it was never meant to contain the season pass (and still doesn't). I knew for sure that I never bought it separately so I went poking around in the content registry. Turns out, Ubi accidentally added all the DLC to the Asian DDE pre-order sub when the game released. I've had the season pass since launch without knowing it. So, while this doesn't affect most of you, if anyone pre-ordered that particular sub, you own all the DLC too.
Please don't snitch to Ubi and get it taken away
Actually I don't care if you do snitch. Never gonna play it anyway.

I personally don't feel the need. If a game I want to play shows up in a bundle before I get around to buying, cool. If not, whatever, you can still recommend the game to others.

Every single Solid relevant to the overarching plot isn't exclusive to Sony platforms at this point.

this is wrong oh so very wrong, not even 1/10th of dlcs are covered by season pass (><)
OK, maybe 1/10th
Ah, yes, the guy who used to work at Daedalic has responded.
He was an unpaid intern there a few years back and most of the people who worked there were unpaid or heavily underpayed interns. They promised that the interns would get the games they worked on, but so far he received nothing.
The interns are not fired, they have contracts that run 6 to 9 months. They gave him the opportunity after his contracts ended to continue in a paid job (400 Euro/month). He told me that he is now working as Junior Softwaredeveloper somewhere else and makes the same as an Teamleader at Daedalic. They did apparently buy cheap office pc's of ebay for development, there was no IT-infrastructure, they gave files via skype and usb around. And there were multiple times a switching loop.
Please keep in mind, that he was there a few years back. Things could look differently now.

MGS3 is the best entry in the saga.
SRIV's is the worst so-called season pass I've seen in my life
Sorry that's still 2
Sorry that's still 2
I nominate this post as most wrong one this month, if not year. (><)
Thanks guys. I dodged a bullet thanks to you (I almost bought the season pass lol). I'll buy the Game of The Century Upgrade, thanks again.

so project zomboid devs said they're aiming for a 2015 late Q1-early Q2 release, it seems to be a really optimistic goal considering there's still a ton of stuff missing but we'll see
might be the first fully fleshed out zombie survival game we'll be seeing since state of decay and survival crisis z

Thanks for following up on this for us. I guess Double Fine really could learn a few things from Daedalic when it comes to project management.
It really is. That's why I've been an avid fan of the concept and platform ever since it's inception. Damn shame I lost my old account though, dat veteran status
Really have to say Valve has done an incredible job improving it, and Steamworks has become an incredibly powerful convenience tool for both developers and consumers alike.
Her as Scarlet Witch doe...
Definitely gun b red haired, or so I pray. If so, the movie will win the internets. (Also, it's great that it's her and Kickass-guy in yet another movie together in a short time span! :3)
Awesome, and sounds incredibly optimistic. I've loved the game ever since their tech demo from several years ago. Never did purchase it, but the few free releases I've played have been a lot of fun. Lots of potential in their foundation, which is the most important thing early on. If they hadn't been taking their sweet time they would've been first to market, but hopefully it'll be worth the
Still not sure how I feel about the fact that it's isometric, but I think I feel good about it. So many others are doing TPS and FPS zombie-survival, and well... You can get too many of them.

I would give a kidney to have MGS collection on Steam
IDK, PS3 and a collection would cost you less, just telling
ya, I'm aware that it's not full collection, but still (><)

no good person thinks that MGS2 is the best. It's good, it was one of gaming's biggest troll moments ever, and the game does some decent philosophy 101 stuff at the end that was really interesting at the time.
but MGS3 is the best metal gear. that's not even a hard choice.

MGS is debatable but anyone preferring Fallout 3: Sewer Ghoul Edition over Obsidian's stellar New Vegas cannot be classified as a fan

I'm going to hold you to that.
See, and here we go again...
MGS3 was the worst MGS as far as I'm concerned. I had little to no enjoyment while playing the game and had to force myself to stick with it and complete it at several points throughout, something that never happened with 1, 2, or 4. The story never vibed with me, most of the bosses felt phoned in and unmemorable... Volgin was just... annoying... suffice to say, my experience with MGS3 left only a few positive notes as far as the franchise and was another one of those games where the masses proclaim it as some sort of gift from god and I end up finding it to be the worst of the bunch. :lol
Fallout 3 is the best.

Are you planning on purchasing the sequel as well?
Edit: holy shit, there's an ot for that Simpsons mobile game. *dead*
My bad... I didn't check what was in there.
I thought the whole point of a season pass was to get all DLC as they release...
Bullshit is what it is.
Calling Early Access games "EA Games" must be the most confusing and dumbest idea I've ever seen in modern gaming history.
