freedom at last! WotS4 here I come! And all and any 100-1000 hour game I was ignoring this year.

edited: and I'm at 50 perfect games and 42% average game completion by steam count, it seems I'll never get to 50% if even finishing so many games didn't get me closer to it.

I wish I had the focus to finish the games I start :/

Congrats, man, I never for a second doubted you.
Let's all strive for 104 games challenge.

Whoever at Bioware thought non-scaling fonts were a good idea in Mass Effect 3, should be fired.
They are almost unreadable at 1080p, I can't fathom how tiny they must look at 4k

 

[Sober]

Just watch someone play the MGS games on youtube instead, that's what I did.

 

[corrosivefrost]

This x86-based console elitism is toxic.

But think of all the +1s he could've bought with that money.

 

[Arthea]

Thanks guys

Congrats, man, I never for a second doubted you.

Thanks for believing in me *I'd blush, I just need to learn it, everybody seems to know how to do it, meaning I can too*

That could prove too much for me, but maybe I'll try, who knows, I never thought I'll stick with 52 so adamantly and with self restrain! Your finished game count (last year) was very inspiring, you know, so thanks again.

 

[liezryou]

You won't know a thing that's going on.

Yeah i kinda felt like that in ground zeroes, wikipedia FTW.

Liez bro...play the other MGS games first...Unless you want to play for the gameplay only.

You haven't even played Ground Zeroes. -_-

No, i already beat Ground Zeroes. Loved it! Although i did have to google/ask friends regarding alot of the story related stuff.

How does this activate? I mean, there are pre-order bonus attached?

I didn't get anything extra so far, just got the game in my library.

Not sure if PS3 was 720p or 1080p, but I don't recall having font issues... then again, 42" TV and all.

As for the 104? I don't know about that... but I see an slim possibility of hitting 100 and I'd like to do that for once... make me feel good about putting a real dent in the backlog. :3

 

[dot]

Yeah i kinda felt like that in ground zeroes, wikipedia FTW.

why would you do this

MGS1 and 2 (and i guess 3) are like really good games.

Watching youtube videos/reading wikis of the series is a disservice to it. I can at least understand 4 since there are tons of cutscenes but that game isn't too bad either.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Salsa is actually pretty decent at the game. Played a few rounds with him, Dogg and me in a team together. He was good at defending and generally football. Dogg was getting quite a few goals in. Meanwhile I was thrilled if I even managed to hit the ball in the right direction. We did well until we ran into really tough opponents (the bots).

I really do think we could get together 6 or 8 folks from this thread and have a good bit of fun in private games. Latency doesn't really matter a whole lot in a game this imprecise by design.

If only someone diligent could set up a game night like the Chivalry folks are doing. Weekend coming up too so it would be the perfect time.

I don't know dude you scored a couple of blinders. There were a couple of Barcelona-esque goals in there with some decent movement and passing before putting it away. Granted that was before the A-Team turned up, the god-like AI. First 2 games went down a treat.

But then as soon as those guys mostly quite and the bots filled in the places it went to shit fast.

They're like Untreal Tournement level of intellegence. Can't defend for shit mind but score some peach's the likes I'd be proud of.

So then thoughts anyone?

Well it's not really a cup but just a kick about to start and see how we go from there.

Good ones, duh.

I hate to be your party pooper, but somebody has to! 100 games don't make even a tiny dent in your backlog, or in mine for that matter.
Still it is a nice number.

Good ones, duh.

lies, all lies
well, not all but it sounds good

 

[jshackles]

You could always do Let's Code videos.

I didn't even know that was a thing. Sounds... boring?

Make "Let's Code"s and put them on Youtube =P
Just you streaming your screen + PIP webcam view of yourself in the corner typing code.

Write some code.
Code not working.
Change the code.
Code not working.
Swear.
Change the code.
Code not working.
Go grab a beer.
Drink a bit.
Find the error.
Swear.
Change the code.

Swear.
Drink a bit.

LOL yeah that's probably about how it would go. IDK, it's always been one of those things that, for me at least, I'd probably get too nervous actually doing it.

 

[Hektor]

[Dragon1893]

I've been running idlemaster for hours (first time using it) and haven't got a single card. Is that normal?

Not sure if PS3 was 720p or 1080p, but I don't recall having font issues... then again, 42" TV and all.

720p.
PS3 barely had anything at 1080p.

 

[Knurek]

Not sure if PS3 was 720p or 1080p, but I don't recall having font issues... then again, 42" TV and all.

This might be an issue with the PC version only - where Mass Effect 1/2 scaled the font with resolution increase, Mass Effect 3 does not.
The subtitle font stays at, say 10 pixels. No matter if you're playing in 320x200 or 3840x2160.

 

[iosefe]

Rocket League Game night when?

 

[Hektor]

I've been running idlemaster for hours (first time using it) and haven't got a single card. Is that normal?

Steam recently changed the droprate of cards, to only start dropping after 2 hours of gametime.

I'm kinda glad I've played ME3 on PS3, if it can be said that one can be glad at all that he or she played ME3... I'm not entirely sure.

you should embrace idle-to-ready before idlemaster, that's only way now and again thanks jshackles for making both.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Rocket League Game night when?

Well spin mentioned Saturday which is cool with me. What time due to different timezones is really what needs some coordination though.

 

[inm8num2]

I've been running idlemaster for hours (first time using it) and haven't got a single card. Is that normal?

Every game now begins to drop cards after 2 hours due to a change related to the Steam refund system. Some games will have a fast drop rate after those 2 hours, others might take a couple hours more.

If you have multiple games to idle, you can save time by using idle-to-ready. It will idle games with drops simultaneously until they all have 2 hours registered (readying them for card drops), then you can use the Idle Master app after that.

[liezryou]

No I mean in your account history how the game is called? I'm figuring out if Konami put on preorder D1 boni.

METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN Retail .

why would you do this

MGS1 and 2 (and i guess 3) are like really good games.

Watching youtube videos/reading wikis of the series is a disservice to it. I can at least understand 4 since there are tons of cutscenes but that game isn't too bad either.

Wikipedia surely won't help you with a fullfledged MGS mainline titel.

Ok ok i will play them (where can i even play them now?). Do i have to start with 1?

 

[Se7enSword]

Yeah i kinda felt like that in ground zeroes, wikipedia FTW.



No, i already beat Ground Zeroes. Loved it! Although i did have to google/ask friends regarding alot of the story related stuff.

If you're informed then I won't say much else. Hope you enjoy it then.

METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN Retail .

Ok ok i will play them (where can i even play them now?). Do i have to start with 1?

Yes, play it all in order.

 

[dot]

Ok ok i will play them (where can i even play them now?). Do i have to start with 1?

I say play the series as it was released. So 1>2>3>4>whatever is after that

If you have a ps3 you can get the HD collection that includes 2 and 3.

I think MGS1 is on psn.

 

[Grief.exe]

Ok ok i will play them (where can i even play them now?). Do i have to start with 1?

The Legacy Collection on PS3 is probably your best bet.

I would just look up a general overview, then go from there. Playing through the entire series might enduce burnout.
You may be able to get away with just getting through MGS3 to set you up for this title. Phantom Pain represents the culmination of Big Boss' arc which heavily effects Solid Snake, but might not be necessary to play that arc.

Something may be up with drops -- I've been waiting on my last drop for this game for hours now.

 

[Dr Dogg]

No one should ever skip MGS3, never ever!

Peace Walker is a bit eh but you could skip past that and either watch the story segments on Youtube or something or read the Story Catch Up section in Ground Zeroes as well as playing that and be all set for The Phantom Pain.

Don't skip 3!!!

 

[Herpes Reasons]

Where can I get a MGS5 steam code? Anywhere selling one if I don't want to buy a video card.

 

[inm8num2]

Something may be up with drops -- I've been waiting on my last drop for this game for hours now.

Ah, I see. My mistake.

Maybe Steam is changing the idling rules again to something like this while scrapping the 2-hour delay:

/extremely wishful thinking

 

[Dog Problems]

Where can I get a MGS5 steam code? Anywhere selling one if I don't want to buy a video card.

Make a post in the Buy/Sell/Trade thread. People are buying and selling them there. One sold for $35 a bit ago.

 

[def sim]

I agree that Snake Eater is all you need for Phantom Pain. Watch a summary video for the rest; I'm sure youtube has plenty of those.

Alternatively, if you're a premium member of Giant Bomb, you can watch playthroughs of the first four mainline games here.

Check the BST thread regularly. Someone just sold theirs for $35.

nope... it's not, I'm accidentally idling a game that was not prepared by idle to ready, noticed too late, and it's dropping cards after two hours, already 2 dropped.

 

[Dragon1893]

And thanks to Jshackles of course, you're the man.

 

[GRaider81]

Newegg hooked me up with a free code for MGSV despite having ordered the card at the tail end of April.

Holy shit. I love Newegg.

Thats great. I bought a 970 last week from amazon, sent them an email, fingers crossed

Yeah couldn't agree more. I was really apprehensive about 3 during it's opening but it got a lot better going through. I actually kinda like Peace Walker just for being a bit different. Not a fan of 4 and thought 2 was pretty meh.

Holy mother of fuck . the only way I see this happening is it being like 15$ minimum Tier.

Still worth it.

 

[def sim]

Dang, y'all wanting to pay over $40 for a Phantom Pain code in the BST thread are getting ahead of yourselves. That's probably the price point GMG/Nuuvem will sell them at.

I know, I was just joking ("/extremely wishful thinking").

I do think that would be a better alternative, but I don't expect anything to change. It's a very minor inconvenience, and the idle-to-ready companion app takes care of it.

Sounds great - thanks as always for making the Steam experience better for us.

 

[Dragon1893]

I agree that Snake Eater is all you need for Phantom Pain.

Peace Walker is even more important to GZ/TPP'S story than 3.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Yeah couldn't agree more. I was really apprehensive about 3 during it's opening but it got a lot better going through. I actually kinda like Peace Walker just for being a bit different. Not a fan of 4 and thought 2 was pretty meh.

I think the thing that is going to make or break some people over TPP is the Peace Walker mission structure and Mother Base resource/R&D elements. I hope it's not as grindy as that just to get new gear and weapons but at least TPP is a proper open world unlike a bunch of stitched together tiny rooms and maps just about the size that would fit into the PSP's memory. Oh and at least Mother Base actually exists so you can see the fruits of you labours XCOM style unlike Peace Walker which was just a 3D model that barely updated and menus, lots of menus.

 

[Nzyme32]

Dang, y'all wanting to pay over $40 for a Phantom Pain code in the BST thread are getting ahead of yourselves. That's probably the price point GMG/Nuuvem will sell them at.

This is what I am hoping for. Pretty much the only way I'll be able to get the game day 1. £60 is such an absurd price
