The weird thing is that the Dracula Trilogy is three separate games whereas Dracula 4 & 5 is actually the one game named Dracula 4 & 5.
I read about those games a while ago. I think it's because the fourth game is basically only half a game and I know there was an outrage on GOG when only the fourth was sold. So they put them in a package and gave the fifth game to those who bought the fourth. Uh. something like that.

It's the same thing that Hollywood does. Split the last release of a series into two. At least these devs aren't asking you to pay twice.

Well seeing as the Great Korra Konundrum seems resolved let's try another Q&A.

How many of you here are tempted to pick up Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes but haven't played all or some of MGS3. Portable Ops & Peace Walker? For those of you on the fence would a non-spoilery break down of the timeline as a primer make you more or less inclined to pick it up?

What do you guys use for cable management solutions? I have a glass desk, so I need something to hide all of the cables routing from my computer to my monitor/amp/keyboard/etc.

Cable ties and mounts. Can get them super cheap from eBay or Amazon in the 100's but I'm sure a decent hardware retailer should have them too. I use velcro cable ties as I'm constantly shifting stuff around and is a lot quicker to rearrange anything and don't need to dig into a tool box to find a pair of wirecutters. If you're dealing with cables across the length of a room electrical trunking and conduit is a cheap and easy solution if pulling up floorboards or chasing cable routing in the walls are out of the question

Two apps in the one package would have been ideal. ;)

*raises hand* I played through maybe half of MGS3 about a decade ago.

I wouldn't pick up Ground Zeroes until its about $10 or less. But I would gladly pick up Snake Eater for $25. I love that game.

You have to finish it. Its arguably the best metal gear solid game.


Late edit:
Also I'll buy that bundle if you want Zombie Solitaire. Let me know if you want in?

Yeah, I'm still interested. PM me your PayPal address and I'll send you one hundred freedom cents.

Sometimes the Alien just jumps down from vents randomly, and sometimes it jumps down right in front of my face(even though I made zero noises), I just stood there and accept my fate. It's like I'm in Edge of Tomorrow.

To be completely honest with you guys, the only other MGS game I have played is MGR:R, which is not a MGS game. You know, Asian parents and game consoles.

But no, I'll wait for the complete game.

I don't know if you count as you'd buy it anyway!

I was thinking this the other day when I was going through 3 from the HD Collection on PS3 as even still the framerate is a bit wobbly in places but then it dawned on me. The game is designed around the pressure sensitive buttons on a Dual Shock2/3. Lots of actions like lowering your firearm, CQC moves and leaning and altering your view in corner view and first person rely on having a variable input that two analog triggers alone won't do. When If it does come over I really hope that Konami doesn't do what they did with the 360 and Vita version and have a funky control scheme. Fingers crossed they have some sort of Dual Shock 3 support built in.

Price could be an interesting factor as it's been quite cheap on PSN/XBLA a few times. Might be another day one Sale discount deal job. Saying that who knows when V proper is getting released and if it's day and date with consoles on PC.

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
They added achievements :p

Sweet!!! I want to start up a New Game + anyway, and achievements will give me a good excuse to do so! Dark Souls is one of the best games I've played in years.

I've played 3 and Portable Ops, but haven't gotten Peace Walker yet. I do have the Legacy Collection ready to go on PS3, but I will probably wait for the collection to, hopefully, drop on PC before I get around to that one.

Cable ties and mounts. Can get them super cheap from eBay or Amazon in the 100's but I'm sure a decent hardware retailer should have them too. I use velcro cable ties as I'm constantly shifting stuff around and is a lot quicker to rearrange anything and don't need to dig into a tool box to find a pair of wirecutters. If you're dealing with cables across the length of a room electrical trunking and conduit is a cheap and easy solution if pulling up floorboards or chasing cable routing in the walls are out of the question

I'm using cable ties currently, but it is a temporary set up until I found something better. I will just have to double down on the amount of cable ties in use and it should be fine.

Now if they just remove GFWL all together I can finally see what the big deal is.

Isn't that what's happening?
I doubt Bamco would go for the Arkham City double achievs at this day and age...

It's strange that From/Namco haven't been working on a beta branch for Dark Souls. Hopefully, they have been developing something internally and just need to push the patch to /public.

Either way, going to need to get a GAF group together for the weapons achievements. Get a few people together and the Dark Souls should only take one playthrough.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
It's a good sign, but I'd hold off on the party until the game gets a beta branch.

Yep. After all the talk, I'm cautiously optimistic.

Stallion is going to be happy. He prepped multiple save files for this occasion. I just hope it transfers over!

I'm happy because I have another excuse to do a 2.35:1 screenshot run.

Updating Payday 2 has got to be the most painful thing you can do on Steam. That fscking game keeps removing itself from my queue, and deleting all update files when I tried swapping DL servers to fix it.

Top tip. Unless you want a headache try not to play Peace Walker on a PSP/Vita as the framerate is really low. The HD version in the HD/Legacy Collection is a cracking job and the controls feel a lot better. Really it's a great lead into GZ as there's two characters you probably will be wonder who on earth they are and another why they are there at all.

I'm using cable ties currently, but it is a temporary set up until I found something better. I will just have to double down on the amount of cable ties in use and it should be fine.

To be fair I'm probably the worst person to ask about cable management. I used to in an old house use the hose off a vacuum cleaner with various holes cut into it to hide all my cables. Worked great as long as you didn't go look round the back.

One of the best titles to show off the beauty of 2.35:1.

Yo I don't even give a single fuck about those saves, my body is so ready for another two runs of the best damn co-op game ever made.

Top 3 gaming memories:
-Bro-oping Kalameet in NG+
-Bro-oping Manus in NG+
-Bro-oping every fucking boss

The Ultimate Trash Edition huh? Someone should make a bundle of the absolute 10 worst games on Steam and called it that.

$3.99 and Bad Rats won't even be one of them.

why do all the fun threads get locked

The Why do some console gamers want to exclude PC from tech talk thread? If I'm having a slow day at work I like to browse the Gaming side back to front and start at the last page and move forward. Then you see all the locked down horrors and the juicy contents inside.

Can confirm. I played Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes this weekend, and found myself almost totally lost when it came to the story. Probably not the best game in the franchise to start with.

I really liked it though, maybe I should play the first one. I own it on PSN but can't play it on either of the Playstation devices I own
Why Sony!?!!?!!
