I didn't read all yet, only few parts randomly. And to see what is different you need to read old ToS and Privacy Policy and i am too lazy to do it (and i really don't like to read ToS documents because they are usually boring). But from things i have read i think that User Generated Content part could be interesting to some (even though i still don't know what UGC they are talking about XD is it about mods, fan art, YouTube, all together?) and part about terminating Services is a bit worrying but i think that it is not any different from other companies (they have right to shut own service without warning etc.).

gotta love the office, lol
There is a good side to this approach, though
There were several short games I wouldn't have played (slow walking games, lol) if not for that challenge and I ended up liking them, in particular Tengami, Qora and Kairo (well, Kairo turned to be not a short game, but still).
Oh and Artifex Mundi games too!
Still the best way is not to shy from games we want to play just because they are long or very time consuming, because that kinda makes that challenge more like stress and no fun, no?
finished wolfenstein
pretty cool game, i appreciate the mix of old and new and the open arenas you got to fight in. i also like having a lot of guns to choose from, tho i don't care for them taking them away every new level. the light stealth stuff is also pretty fun since getting caught is not really that punishing
the story, ehh, i know that got praise and i can see why, they've definitely gone above and beyond the call of duty but i still didn't really like it. it's an excuse to take you to cool places and it does a lot of different things but in the end i didn't care for any of them, i def didn't find the sin city narration compelling and like the grindhouse stuff, or the humor and whatnot all felt flat and kind of gross to me. the idea is that this is a very trashy pulp story that pretends to be about way more than it actually is, i get that, but i didn't enjoy it's angle, maybe because the game is so freaking violent i often ended my sessions feeling kind of sick. i definitely love some nonsense-philosophical talk like in max payne, but in here it just felt soulless and unraelatable
anyways, ignoring that story stuff not being to my liking, it's refreshing to play a game that gives you a ton of guns and lets you run around while shooting bad guys, instead of cowering behind a block of cement
probably the shooter i've liked most since bulletstorm, tho tbh i don't think i've played that many since then haha

Solid concept and pixel art, a billion movie and pop culture references on every screen if that's your thing, absolutely dreadful pacing and balancing.
I recommend playing through it once with cheatengine to see all the content.
Amazing. Buy it. No moe, not cat girls and I still love it. That's like 23/10 in IGN.
woah there
hm not interested in setting up cheat engine
could you elaborate on the problems? pacing issues sounds like 'grinding' to me in the context of the game

Oh yeah, I played the shit out of that game with my friends.
The game didn't aged well though, highly doubt it that it will happen.
Holy shit, there's a uplay OT on gaf?
And Origin too.
Oh well, just when I was about to install the game.
Thanks, that was close.

Definitely! I played a few short games just to make progress instead of having fun, it was really stressful, totally not worth it.
The game itself is very funny to play, I'm liking it (even if I did just a couple of match, I'm only level 8, I unlocked a bunch of stuff but for some reason the game won't let me personalize my character, so I ended on keep using the default kit).
Cloak and Dagger is, of course, the Pro mode, if you die, you need to wait for the end of the turn, no respawn. Funny and tense mode, but I think it's not well balanced, it seems way too hard grab the disc and return to your base, at least in all matched I played no one was able to do so, even level 16 players.
Take the Comm is a fast mode, great to increase your level, again very funny to play. There are respawns so it can be played by everyone.
I still need to check other modes.
One thing I don't understand is: how can I shut up other players? I pushed Y to take audio off but nothing happened, it's a nightmare, plenty of people hearing music, I can listen to other people Steam chat notification sound, plus the MGO them they are using. It's a nightmare.

toastytoast had a good write-up on the game where I gave my 2 cents as well.

There's definitely a ton of grinding and repetition in the game, which can be only partly excused with the game's nature as a time management sim. I think they're stretching out their mechanics and content way past the breaking point and my patience.

Don't forget to use the SAM manager to complete the achievement collection if you missed any!
gotcha, thanks. sounds like a bummer that could still be salvaged. will hold off for now.
Oh, another thing (maybe ManPuncher is interested): exclusive console stuff like Metal Gear Rex Helmet is unlocked when you boot MGO for the first time (plus XP bonus and other stuff I can't remember, maybe weapons).
EDIT: LOL about cheaters in MGO

According to most sports- yes.
Whoa I've been out couple of days and I miss 30 pages.XD Man I wish I was on the Dragons Dogma train but just can't afford it right now and I'm about to finish Mad Max, need to find an open world game.
Got to GasTown in Mad Max and one thing the game does really well is all the different kind of desert it manages to do, I'm actually quite impressed.

So you're saying MGO3 is the Tour de France of video games?

New Kind of Adventure?
Ubisoft is known for its open-world deserts.
lol no
That was an older game, I think, with something remotely resembling a human head, screaming its lungs of, it that creature has lungs, or something like that.

Dementium HD?
I didn't mean this one, but it qualifies too.
yeah, well talking about choices, the Witcher 3 in not on the list at all
Interesting, I played through Talos over Xmas (Stunning game btw SteamGAF), but saved Gehenna for later as assumed it would be more of the same. Will have to launch it soon.

Thanks for the write-up!
I read mixed impressions about the game, but still looking forward to the game. Too bad our fears is happening though, they didn't do anything to prevent cheating.
Sakura games?

RIP. So close before getting her own game on Steam as well!
What if he already is filtering out the worst and this is what is above the threshold? Quite the scary thought.
Died of laughter when you mentioned Dino Crisis.

Damn, what a deal.
Will the Division bundled with nvidia cards as well later?
Perhaps I can get a much cheaper key from that.
You intimidated him with all this Dino crisis begging.
Nvidia is only giving Tomb Raider codes till mid-February so it's possible it could be the next bundled game.
Let's hope not for Newegg sake. :c

Doesn't help that in the pawn name list. Regina isn't an option, but they got Zangief in there.
