Instant purchase. I just finished downloading it from Steam.

I'll wait for a sale. Why has elegance found so little following?

Hurlshort Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Don't you people have this game already? I imagine many people prefer playing it on Steam and not worrying about whether they can get the older disced version to run on their current rig.

I imagine many people prefer playing it on Steam and not worrying about whether they can get the older disced version to run on their current rig. Yeah, I did it about 3 weeks ago, and it was not the smoothest process in the world. (Also, there's a substantial delay when the game transitions to and from the videos.) If I could've paid $10 to skip all that, I would definitely have done so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fighter Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Hmmm... I should try and see if I am able to get mine to work then. I plan to play it with all the restoration mods at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delfosse Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Don't you people have this game already? When you live in a country that prints money, it's not an issue. Europe printed in March what Russia made from selling oil in the last ten years. I'm not even talking about the US. Knowing this, you really gotta ask?

Morgoth Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Don't you people have this game already? Yeah, but who wants to undust that box, install the bugger from 4 CDs, and then search for the patches? Steam is so much more convenient. Rain makes everything better.

That sounds like a difficult task indeed. The difference for me (having tried both) is that the cd version is a bitch to get working, the steam version worked without having to do anything other than "press play" “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Tale Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Did someone try to install the Restored Content patch on the Steam version of KOTOR 2? Does is work? I tried it and it seemed to be working. The game launched and I saw the first couple bits of 'new' content from the mod. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Morgoth Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Metal Gear Solid 5 announcement on August 30th? They're going to show off Kojima's own new engine (Fox engine) that is going to power Project Ogre. Ogre, incidentally, stands for Open Ground Reconnaissance Endeavors and is the subtitle for Metal Gear Solid 5. Rain makes everything better.

Bos_hybrid Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Metal Gear Solid 5 announcement on August 30th? Wait, after just recently playing through the last one, how can there be another one? 4 seemed pretty final to me. Snake is just about dead. Liquid/Ocelot dead. Patriots gone. Naomi dead. Even those once thought dead are dead again, every character from the back story dead, or moving on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orogun01 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I'm okay with that. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even those once thought dead are dead again, every character from the back story dead, or moving on. Peace Walker was originally titled 5. It even showed up as 5 on the teaser site. The series has 3 protagonists and at least 2 time periods. Introducing another character wouldn't be impossible or making it a prequel/interquel. And that's not discounting the possibility of just extending Snake's life a bit longer. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Morgoth Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 It's not going to be a sequel, but rather a prequel. Assumingly playing in the 70s or 80s in Africa, and it's open world. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) I just recently checked out the beginning of MGS3 and found the writing hilarious bad, unfitting and pseudo-philosophical. I just want to start the damn game but I am listening for 10 minutes to two people talking about the sense of being a soldier. Urg. Granted, MGS always was like that, but to me it feels like they really took off a little bit too much since MGS3. Way too long cutscenes, pseudo-philosophical and soldier depressions (war romantic?) or something like that. Eh... Just saying. I don't think I would need a MGS5.
