You know I can see if you play MGS5 like the past games how it could become a little tedious after a while. But if you play to the games strengths (ie. its mechanics) then the only limit is your imagination.

Although those wandering Mother Base Soldiers are hard as nails. This guy took a rocket punch to the face, a CQC slam and finally only went down after a 5 hit combo.

And in honour of Maniac (well seeing as i had this in my custom soundtrack folder) just to put one of the more fortified bases to the test of a hostage rescue blitz (spoilers I'm in and out in seconds).

Yeah story is a bit crap but I'm happy as a pig in shit just messing about.

For a moment I thought you'd have She's A Maniac as a custom soundtrack. Kind of disappointed, but that was beautiful nonetheless, my dear.

looks like a random Mad Max DLC got added? is it just another opus body?

Standalone, a new Death Race pops up and you get it from there

there's something kind of delicious about doters being like upset over their new client after so much rubbing it in our faces hehe

Only the stupid people are upset, but there's not really that many of them, most of them already play LoL.

;)
nothing of value was lost :)

Just like if League shut down and took 95% of the people playing it down with them.

Whilst your comment might've been sarcasm, mine honest-to-god isn't.
Yeah, for people not in the know, Valve pushed Source 2 as the main client for everyone, and it's missing features and is buggy.

It's just ARTS / MOBA players doing their thing; complaining like little fucking children. Atleast it's not as bad as with Diretide, but this time it's Steam reviews instead of metacritic ones.

Valve can't win when their biggest audience are adult manchildren that need to have their diapers changed for them.
 
Let's say I look at a game like Dota 2, how do I see if it is region-locked to a specific country?

The only region locking I can see for Hatred is it being restricted in Germany and Australia (shocker)...but I don't know much else about it so I can't give a firm answer

I actually am somewhat interested in it at the price Nuuvem has it for...but haven't made my mind up
 
Nuuvem keeps dropping prices after launch which is really annoying if you pre-ordered even hours before. Stasis had a 4 US dollar price drop and Dropsy has dropped by two Brazlian real. It's not a huge deal given you're already getting good discounts but it seems like a bit of a raw deal for supporting them early.

Lost another 20 minutes of progress. Fulton's everyone in an outpost including the primary target, got the blueprint, etc. Just as I'm about to leave a tank appears with a bunch of guys and I'm dead. I probably lost the blueprint forever, making it the third or fourth. This game needs to be patched ASAP.

Valve changed stuff behind the curtain some time ago, it was easier to look up on SteamDB.
Since DOTA is F2P (and I assume available everywhere) I'm gonna go with Hatred https://steamdb.info/app/341940/ . You can see restrictions when going to "Packages" and then select the newest Steam/Key which will get you here https://steamdb.info/sub/69703/

There's surely more info and tricks with SteamDB but that's what I know. In doubt, always ask JaseC.

I don't want to be a dick, but that's not the way to do spoilers. Write something before the spoiler, so people have a way to know if they can read the stuff inside or not (for example, mild gameplay related spoiler, side mission x spoiler, etc)

Ummmm yes the second vid does have Maniac as the custom track but I got copyright striked for Germany so no idea if that's muted for Denmark. But yeah had your cavalier attiudude in mind whilst running around like a twat.

You can redo every mission and sideop. So no those blueprints aren't gone forever. Kill some time with phantom cigar and redo whatever mission you were doing. Go to Motherbase or somethin. Just come back to it later its not that big a deal.

Google it, it's a bug. The blueprints don't come back, unless something's changed. It doesn't seem to happen to every blueprint or every time you restart, but it has occurred for a lot of people.

Is this supposed to be modern Shani or just a random red haired lass?

It is indeed Shani. Edit: And she looks fucking marvelous.

I'm a deaf twit aren't I?

Although I hate that you can't control the volume, really want to turn up the music and turn down dialogue. Troy Baker is getting on my tits with repeating the same shit he told me ten minutes ago.

Also I want to turn up Take On Me, damnit.

Sometimes they just don't respawn at all, and aren't obtained. It's quite a nasty bug.

My Mionix Naos 7000 will be here early next week. It's dimensions give the impression that it will fit nicely in my huge hands, but I can only hope.

Constantly on the look out for that perfect mouse.

Neat, thanks!

Has anyone here spent time with Shelter 2? Got truly mixed reviews but it seems like it could be neat on the cheap.

The aggregate is actually one percentage point greater than the original game.

Oh no! I just moved a 2TB folder into another folder which took a second, and for me to move it back to its parent folder, it really have to copy it all!??
Why is it, that it can take 1 sec to move a folder into another folder, but more than a day to move it out?

As a freakish 1 in 10 the perfect mouse doesn't exist so an ambidextorious mouse is the best I can get.

You're a maniac, a maniac on the forum!

You can global adjust the volume of your custom tracks but I'd suggest equalising them before import as I had some ear bleeding scenarios.

'I've got a functioning P90 that's older than you lot' is my moto. Don't you even start frost.

Being a lefty having to do everything righty is suffering.

By accident not by design. I can still play many Wii titles despite being catered for right handers. But I guess more important ergonomic issues have conditioned us such.

So the people are not happy about the new dota source 2 update. Thats why CSGO is above dota 2 right now? :D

CSGO peak users have a stronger growth than Dota the last year. Can we see CSGO constantly beating DOTAs peak numbers next year?
 
Not sure if it was the 8 MB patch or turning DSR off but I can finally play Killing Floor 2. Think it might have been starting up at 16K because I have a 4K tv and up to 4X resolution checked in the Nvidia dsr settings.

Keep playing.

Play further.

Yeah, haha, that kinda got me.

The first episode was surprisingy good overall, now that i finished it. The humor is far better than the one from the mainline titles.

Will continue playing the game tomorrow i think.

But fuck telltale for locking the choice-stats behind an account requirement. That wasn necessary before, so why now?

Wow. Wasnt CS:GO usually eating Dotos dust, despite beeing the second most played game?
 
I knew very little about gaming mice or anything last year so I just read some reviews and went with what I could afford...got the Roccat Kone Pure Optical mouse when it was on sale and it's done everything I need it for

not my picture
