People finish Bravely Default? I thought it goes to shit in the second half and everyone gives up eventually.
Plsno, not this again.
There will be a lot of this around release, brace yourself. And not undeserved but it'll of course depend on the Steam price.
Hey if I have to pay for a 'demo' (again!) to see how the Fox Engine shapes up on PC (Pro Evo doesn't really count as it's not exactly using it to the fullest degree) then so be it. Considering I didn't do much outside the Main Op and was on about 33% complete on the PS3 version, I got about 10 hours out of Ground Zeroes just poking around the base. That's not bad for a 'demo'. Of course I don't everyone is going to be like me inspecting every little element, pathway and detail.

It's not undeserved but god it's like the best 90 minutes of gaming I've had all years. Can't wait to play it again.
but what's a point? I mean paying for demo if you gonna buy a game regardless.
No modern console atm, so I will be looking forward to this particular version. Many beautiful shots will appear in December Steam thread, I suppose.

GZ isn't a demo in the sense that it includes parts that will be in V, it's just not very long and feels like one if you ignore the bonus objectives and unlocks.
I don't see how his could be enforced. Curators can just say "Nobody paid me for this" and we'd have no way of knowing.
Woah, I guess I got crazy lucky with the Fancy Skulls cards I didn't know I had until last week. It's now in a BundleStars bundle and the card prices are bound to drop like a rock, while mine actually all sold for 0,30-0,70.
I should write rap songs about my card money. Been had card money.

Hahaha no it's the ribbing on Ground Zeroes just being a brief flirtation of what MGS V The Phantom Pain has to offer. So in short it bizarrely gets labeled a paid demo. Seeing as Konami aren't exactly focused on PC gaming these days outside of Pro Evo I'm curious to see how the Fox Engine transfers to PC, what the options will be like, what extras like different aspect ratios and SLI and driver manipulation is possible before MGS V comes out. The only way to get a handle on that first hand is to buy Ground Zeroes. I honestly can't imagine Konami are going to have SLI or Crossfire setup out of the box and stuff like Inspector AA & AO flags will need to be discovered if they're compatible so it's a nice toy to play with in my eyes outside of the game itself.
I was quite surprised how it looked on PS3. Was a bit spotty in places regards to performance but getting a chance to see what my PC can do is more than enough encouragement. From reading the PS4 impressions from GAF sounds like it's a nice step up over the PS3 version so be interesting to see if there's the same to the PC one or if it's just the usual little tweaks that can be made like resolution and texture quality and such. 21:9 Aspect Ratio Metal Gear though would be a dream.
I was actually thinking about installing it, but seeing this I'll probably wait for the consumer preview instead.

Since MGS: GZ is getting released this year, I have high hopes of getting a simultaneous release for TPP. Don't let me down Hideo.

Does anyone get tearing scrolling through their library of games when it's set to images? It's highly annoying.

PS4 version had rock solid 60fps but there wasn't a lot on screen most of the time, game looks fine but not 'woaaaaah' so I don't think we'll get the same drama like with Mordor or Evil Within.
Hmm, no. What OS are you using?
I had a play around with Mordor last night and it was stable for the brief time I played. Was a bit jittery but when I closed it down there was already 2 updates to install. I've only messed about for 3 hours so it's just a breif bit of waffle from me but going into the Personalise window it would lock up for about a second when changing theme and selecting a new wallpaper wasn't a smooth experience. I don't know if it's an Nvidia driver compatibility or a DirectX issue but those are the two things that come to mind.
It's worth having a play around with even if you're just curious but there's not too much to shout about new feature wise. Though multiple Desktops is a really nice addition but could do with some management tools like being able to drag an application to a certain desktop. I think the way it works is the all applications are open but minimized from the desktop space they weren't open in. I didn't try having two instances of the same application or settings window open but that might show what's happening.

No doubt someone will blow something completely out of proportion though. It's the Next-Gen way.

When you guys talk of a "paid demo", you refer to GZ being a preview of TPP, right?
So if I have to buy only one, I should go for TPP, right?

Thanks. I hope the girl in bikini is in TPP.
Ditto. I was checking Steam but no demo. Ahah.

Windows 8.1 pro. Didn't have the issue with my 670's but it started with the 970's.

8.1 and 970 here too (it could be happening and I'm just not looking hard enough). Did you completely un- and reinstall the drivers?

Did I black out from all that Weizenbier again? Damn, though I've spent more on worse while drunk, Japanese Fräuleins are fine. Or is there an imposter sneaking around called derExpert instead of derExperte?
forgot to write about new HBW. I'm not sure $5 tier is worth it. Storm sounds wonderful on paper, but gameplay is horrid, as in controls are clunky and frustrating, no zen to be seen. Wooden Sen'Sey sits in my NOPE folder, and I'm not sure I've played Poöf, at least I can't remember.
While $1 tier is very much nobrainer for Puddle alone.
I plan to play Gauge finally too and see what's up with that weirdness.
Don't know anything about Crouching Pony Hidden Dragon, though, although a name is god tier for sure.

Yep, I did before but going to do again and use driver fusion to completely remove old drivers.

Okay, so I know for sure which one to buy first.
You make wise decisions based on wiser reasoning.
Because it's a great game. Length means nothing to me.
I think there is other derExperte too, and even german too, I stumbled on him/her at some point.
I can't look at her choice of clothing without laughing, it's so incredibly stupid.

Congrats! You continue to have the best country in the world! Meanwhile mine is trying to split itself up!
Was there any rumblings about a sale for today? Would love to pick up some German Adventure games.
you dont fool me germans, im on to you!
I hear Yakkue skulking around, all stealthy like
I thought you celebrated Berlin Wall coming down day instead, and I remember vaguely that there is some game based on it too.
edited: Turfster mode on: When I posted about Pillars of Eternity delayed nobody bothered to read it.
EINIGKEIT UND RECHT UND FREI-EI-HEIT!
I read it. But I am swamped with Infinity Engine games to play, so I don't have my hype meter at high level. MGSV is the only stealth/action game on my radar so it means more to me.

Pubs and devs are just making room for the stealth HL3 release.
Actually Ground Zeroes coming out in mid December is nice for me as it avoids all the big releases and is at the time of year when next to nothing is happening at work. That's if I don't do my usual thing of play a couple of hours and move onto something else.
And now I have The Hoff stuck in my head.
I think everyone and their mothers assumed it was getting pushed back, even before the backer beta. I'd rather Obsidian take their time and Pillars gets the love it deserves.

Welp, no change. Can't be cause of Pixelvision cause I had it before and no tearing. This thing litterally happened when I changed my graphic cards.
