Dunno if a bug or real price drop, but now Metal Gear Solid V is 30 full price.

Are you sure that it's KPop that you like and not just big groups of girls dancing heavily choreographed dances in MVs?
Nice, now it needs a huge discount until I buy it

That can't be intended right? Seems too low, might have to grab it then.
could it really be such a big drop in a base price so soon?
doubtful
edited: do we know about this SE collective game - Iron Tides (will be released on PC)
It's seems to have dropped from 400kr to 140kr, or $17.14 USD. That's extremely cheap and as far as I know Norway is still ROW.

howdy there good lookin
can't wait for Dishonored 2
I get what they're trying to do with the bruise stuff, and I respect the effort, but the shiny skin makes it look more like an oil slick than a bruise.
Just checked in Canada. It's C$55 here, so I don't think the price has dropped yet...or they're taking the exchange rate more seriously now.

Everyone too busy crying over CA to see the real post processing enemy, sharpening.
You too, Doom.
It's super cheap! Still gonna wait for a huge discount before I buy it

For me artsyle from Dish 1 is better. This is more on realistic side instead of that concept art look from Dish 1.

Which is really disappointing. Megatextures are perfect for the painterly style.

Megatextures are the shittiest thing to be introduced in the past 10 years.
Heimatfront is apparently not very good? I'm shocked.

Which is why I'm absolutely baffled that they aren't using some form of UE again.

Ooh, Iron Tides sounds good. I'll have to keep my eye out for it. Reminds me that Expeditions: Vikings is releasing this year.
Thanks for the heads up, Arthea.

I was gonna say "worse than horse armour DLC?" but then I realized that passed its tenth birthday last month.
... Yup, that's what they are...

Fuck it, needed cheering up this morning so I picked up DOOM and Overwatch >_>
9gag being your frame of reference is more dated than the meme lol.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
I dunno. I'm glad the megatexture technology exists, just to show a semi viable alternate to the popular...Whatever you call it. Discrete texture dominated field?
I get why it was developed, and why it failed too. It was made under the assumption that gaming was transitioning entirely to consoles and digital distribution in all it's forms wasn't going to take off. Therefore, a visually impressive engine that could ship on extra big blu-rays and HD-DVDs. Large emphasis on art design, art iteration, and empowering artists. Carmack's apology to a career dedicated to marginalizing art for performance. Or something. I think it's still pretty neat how it prioritizes 60FPS even on consoles. But it was also yet another item that illustrated how unimportant frame rate was in the grand scheme of things.
If it had come out earlier, if it was easier to develop for, if UE3 hadn't taken off and completely and utterly dominated the 360/PS3 era, I can see an alternate reality where it becomes a lot more wide spread. Maybe. I have to assume AMD support is a lot more robust in that reality.

I honestly have no idea.
Not that I'm ashamed of being ignorant towards those maymays tho.
The official price for Shadwen should be 17€, so not 30+ as I thought.
Same, it was interesting but way too junky, I didn't like the rewind mechanic and the fact you need to plan each stepo you move, it seems more a strategy game than a stealth. And yeah, there's the option to play it normally, but it's way too hard to be played like that.

Playing that beta/demo killed all my interest for it.

As I said, I think it works great for a painterly style like what Dishonored has. However, it doesn't really fit where graphics went/are still going with very different effects for different surfaces (fabric, metal, dirt, skin, etc) so it is best kept to projects with a certain style to them. For instance, I personally think the engine would have been a much better thing to build Fallout 4 on.
It looks like somebody messed up with prices.
It was intended to be 50% off as a deal instead of 50% MSRP drop
In some regions even more.
If you compare with gamesplanet for example
£24.99 UK -50% off Deal
29,99 DE -50% off Deal
Given that FFX HD seems to have sold great... Might we see other PS3 games using Phyre Engine being ported soon?
You know what I'm talking about, right?
Nah. GUST, unlike Square, doesn't seem interested in PC. KT seems interested in going forward and not backwards. I'd expect the new games to hit PC, but the old ones? Unlikely to me. Unless someone manages to license them explicitly to make ports.... like Ghostlight.
you want me to cry or something?
Would you believe if someone told you in 2008 you will be playing Neps and FFs and Tales on PC?
2017 the year of Atelier PC offensive! Believe!
you should play Atelier or Mana Khemia instead.
This Nights of Azure was first Gust ARPG, there was a slim chance of it being great, while Atelier games are all great.
no, I wouldn't, I most likely suggested visit to a shrink in situation like this.

So, Homefront The Revolution sounds, at best, like an interesting failure. I still kind of want to play it though, especially after reading the RPS review. I can always give a game slack for being ambitious.
I guess the best thing about the reviews is that it's gonna get real cheap, real soon.
