+1! This is the best feature the service has, and it will keep me subscribed to plus. Without it, I would probably decide to stop even with all the discounted games/addons... Hey, Strangelove didn't say that! I did!

If this is legit, then Notch is officially awesome. http://i.imgur.com/5HTia.jpg

Well, after playing all evening, I have finished Assassin's Creed Revelations. I decided to write a mini-review, but it turned out much longer than I planned. I don't spoil any big plot points, but I do discuss the impacts each elements of the story have and how I felt about them so I'll put it in a spoiler tag just in case.

ITT: Sickos talk about murdering kids.

Oh, I thought it was developed by Stardock. Also, kind of a hypocrite that Wardell guy lol The fact that the game has no proper campaign kinda makes me less interested in the game, though :/ Then again, if there's no campaign then I won't feel any guilt over never finishing it like I do with most RTSes I play
-
Oh, cool. I'll definitely grab it at some point, then.

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
toxicitizen replied to Thorgi Duke of Frisbee's topic in Multi-Platform Games
Hahaha damn, sounds like a pain in the ass. -
You know, I've always been curious about that series and was hoping it would eventually show up on Steam. Is this like, the first game? Or a stand-alone expansion or what?
-
Forgot to post, but I received this earlier this week. I've been enjoying Hot Pursuit a lot, and it made me want to try something a bit more on the simulation side. Gran Turismo still seems like it would be too much for me, so this seemed like a good middle ground.

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection

Did they modify the controls or are they just screwed out of some actions? -
After listening to it pretty much exclusively for the past week, I think I can safely proclaim that the London Philharmonic Orchestra's Greatest Video Game Music album is FUCKING RAD!

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
toxicitizen replied to Thorgi Duke of Frisbee's topic in Multi-Platform Games
Yeah, the controls are very deep in MGS3. Took me a few playthroughs to fully master everything. Like, understanding you have to click the damn analog stick to interrogate enemies. The game really made me appreciate how pressure-sensitive the buttons of the dualshock 2 were. THIS. The last scene with boss made my eyes misty, but I kept a STIFF UPPER LIP. However, the EVA portion of the ending... cried. The Boss part is what got to me. I didn't even remember the Eva part until you brought it up and I actually tried to remember it. Man, this thread is seriously making me ache for the HD Collection I was planning on getting it next month anyway, but now I kinda want to just get it now even if it means being completely broke for the next two weeks... -

Yeah, the ending of MGS3 is some powerful stuff. I'm pretty sure I teared up a little bit the first time I finished the game. I can't remember any other game prior to it that got me genuinely emotional. I still firmly believe that MGS3 is the best in the series. MGS4 was awesome. Just not as awesome as MGS3. -
That would be awesome. Yeah, it's pretty big. Lots of big games come outta there, too, so they obviously have a large workforce. Kinda cool to have such a big studio in my city

I'm confused. A few places are reporting on a supposed Metal Gear Solid 5 announcement, but then the actual articles only mention an interview with Kojima in the next issue of UK PlayStation magazine... As unsurprising as this might be, you'd think they would make a much bigger deal out of this...

It says right on the cover of the UK Playstation Magazine that Kojima wants to kill off Snake. Dude's old and not expected to live longer than six months or so anyways, so don't be surprised if we get someone new for MGS5.
-
I agree that at this point any MGS 5 with Solid Snake as the main character will seriously undermine the impact of MGS 4 as the end of the saga.
I would love more proper non-handheld MGS, though
And as awesome as I'm sure Rising will be, that feels more like a spin-off what with the focus not being stealth.
Frankly, at this point the best thing would be to bring in a new protagonist and start a completely new story. Maybe even drop or replace the Solid in the...

the Solid in the title. Just, you know, as long as the core gameplay remains faithful to the main series.

I see I guess I'll just have to wait and hope for the best. Hopefully they started work on it a while ago and aren't rushing it. It really needs to be bigger and better than ACB and ACR. Another thing that bugs me is, as big as Rome was (and I think Constantinople might actually be smaller than that), it still felt small when compared to the first two games, which both had 3 or 4 cities each. Sure, some of the early cities were smaller in ACII, but at least it made for a change of scenery. I understand the need to keep things contained in a single setting if they're putting them out yearly, but that's only acceptable for "side-stories" like Brotherhood and Revelations. ACIII needs to step it up and have a much bigger scope, otherwise it's going to be a huge disappointment (at least for me).
-
I've been playing AC Revelations for most of yesterday and all day today. Not very far into the story, though. Spent most of the day renovating Constantinople and training my assassins. So far it's about on par with Brotherhood, with some slight gameplay improvements. The hookblade in particular is pretty awesome. It actually helps with the free running/climbing beyond just ziplining. The gist of it is very much the same, though. And I find Constantinople to be nowhere near as beautiful or fun to explore as Venice or Rome were. These yearly releases have been fun, but I really hope that they take their time for ACIII to significantly improve on the formula. Brotherhood and Revelations are pretty much AC 2.1 and 2.2 and III will need to be more than that. They already confirmed another release for next year, though, so I guess we'll see...

My pre-order has shipped. Hopefully it'll get here today.

Hahaha, damn, I don't know why I didn't think to let her carry the loot when I was overencumbered instead of dumping the bigger things. I remember using Sheva as a walking inventory in RE5. And yeah it's pretty funny how invincible she is. I killed her with my sword out of curiosity first, but later I experienced and did something hilarious. I was on top of the High Hrothgar mountain. I got to the very edge, had her follow me and using the unrelenting force shout I sent her flying over the edge. She just fell down the fucking mountain and disappeared into the storm. I immediately fast traveled to the nearest city and to my surprise there she was, standing right next to me. So I proceeded to use the shout again just so I could watch her tumbling down the huge set of stairs I was standing at the top of

Well, the release of AC Revelations kinda snuck up on me. I mean, a week ago I knew it was coming this week, but for some reason as the days passed I never adjusted my mental ETA, so today I get my shipping notice and I'm all surprised! Hopefully Purolator aren't slow and I'll get it tomorrow!

I don't think that a one year dev cycle is bad, if they can manage to make a great game in 1 year. So far, not including this game cause I don't know, Assassins Creed games have gotten better with each new game, and the last 3 were on one year cycles. More power to them if they can pull it off.
-
Yeah, it's all about the quality of the final product. And the AC series has been consistantly excellent, imho.
But to be honest, I wouldn't mind if they took a few years to make ACIII and improve on the formula as significantly as II did on I.
-
I've already put my thoughts in some thread about how much the quality dropped between 2 and Brotherhood so I won't bother here but I really wish they would take their god damn time. You don't need SIX teams to develop one game.
-
Missed this post initially, but yes, I have the same problem and no solution. I also had this issue and managed to fix it but I did two things and I'm not 100% sure which one did it. Might have been a combination of both. What you can try is turning on loudness equalization in your sound settings. Go to Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound and then in the properties of your main audio device go to the Enhancements tab and there should be a list of options you can tick on and off. You wanna tick on loudness equalization. (note: I'm on Windows 7, so the location of this might vary slightly depending on your OS) The other thing I did was installing the newest driver for my motherboard's onboard sound card, but I'm pretty sure even after I installed it it didn't fix the issue until I turned on loudness equalization in those settings as well. Hope this helps!
-
At least the puzzles weren't all as obvious as the ones in Uncharted 2. But I completely agree with you that it's slightly less exciting than the second one.
-
It could just be that the game is taxing your system in a very specific way that it can't handle. If that's the case, the problem is still with your system. For example, could be your GPU overheating. Did you try lowering the settings? Put everything at the lowest and see if it still happens.

Are those the three copies you already bought or three new ones?
