I just watched reruns of Rick and Morty S1 and S2. There are still 2 hours to go on my TPP download.

Now what do I do?

So I'm the the house of my neighborhood, we played first chapter of MGSV.
You know I was waiting for this literally from YEARS and...nothing. Dunno.
I'll take Witcher 3 as comparison, because it was one of my most anticipated games this year with, of course, MGSV.
We played through the Prologue and nothing. I felt nothing at all. Yeah, the direction is GREAT, one of the best I saw, but dunno, I feel like something is missing, can't explain it.

Also I think the game on PS4 has been really downgraded compared to The Phantom Pain reveal video. I mean, is totally well looking, but I think the game suffers from being developed on old gen console too.

the prologue is shit

it's boring, long, tedious and just meh... it looks cool, but there is no gameplay.. mgs4 fans probably love it. once you are in mission 1 and can actully do shit it gets good..

the prologue is basically The Phantom Pain launch trailer but the trailer is more exciting.

Guys, guys, guys the most important thin you should be asking is 'Does the mouse cursor auto hide in MGS% now?'. Then again as a 1 in 10 freak of nature I have custom mouse cursors set under Windows anyway including a transparent one.

For anything other than Witcher 3?
Yea, they are insignificant.
Remember, the only way to have a Steam version of W3 is to buy it on Steam.
All those NVIDIA codes? GOG
All other resellers? GOG
CD Project's own Polish store (which has the game for ~$20)? GOG
It really shows the strength of Steam if it could match GOG.com sales for the game, given the slant.

but how can you be so sure? we never had any gog sales numbers, as far as I can remember, simply nobody knows, even if the Witcher sold better than usually games sell on gog, we still don't know what usual is.

No mouse-driven menus in MGSV: TPP is my only problem with the game so far.

Well, we have some of developers sale numbers and they don't show much difference from SteamSpy numbers.
If said games are also sold on GOG, you know what this means, right?

Yes I'm one of 'those people'. Whilst your mouse cursor probably looks like this by default.

Mine looks like this.

Shocking I know!

I use to do that but since we are prevented from changing our mouse cursor at work, I slowly went to the default at home as well.

Actual GOG sales? Yes they are. The numbers are big on GOG because every copy that wasn't Steam activated on GOG. Retail, every site that sold it, every single Nvidia coupon. Hell, if it proves anything, is how well things sell on Steam. Contrary to the GOG version, every single copy of the game on Steam was actually bought directly from Steam.

yet again you don't know that, you can't, nobody knows, you can suspect or it is your opinion, but you still don't really know a thing like the rest of us
