Amazon Prime members can get it for 50 bucks (discount taken at checkout). Dunno if that is available for Canadian purchases, though.

Binding of Issac: Afterbirth out on Steam October 30th for 9.99 USD - PS4 and other platforms to follow "not long after"

I generally don't like open world games for their repetitiveness but MGSV remains great even after 25+ hours of gameplay. There is an actual satisfaction in completing side missions, recruiting new soldiers and developing new tools.

The story so far has been weirdly implemented, probably because it's a mission based game. Not much has happened so far and I really don't know where it's heading.

yeah so i'm still only 6 story missions in and a handful of side ops. has anyone tried the target shooting on the r&d platform? i only gave it like 3 attempts but holy shit they didn't make that easy. may leave it until after i've beaten the story 'cause i won't touch a guide until then.

i've gotten held up for absurdly long periods of time on two missions now just because i'll like miss a single line of dialogue that points me in the right direction but that usually just means i end up fultoning a ton of goons. game is so fucking rad...

Yeah I gave up on the target practice side ops. This is ridiculous and probably not worth it. I have completed pretty much all the other side ops available so far. I also take a lot of time between each main mission because of all the stuff I can do.

I am now addicted at fultoning soldiers as well. Thank god the upgraded binoculars show the soldiers' stats.

ruh roh. supposedly a save corrupting bug if you take quiet into missions 29 or 42: http://www.gamesradar.com/mgs-5-save-file-corrupting-bug/?tag=grsocial-20

Considering I am at mission 12 within 25 hours of gameplay, this bug might get fixed before I even get there. I can't even play with Quiet yet.

omg i'm never gonna beat this game ;O

68 hours in, still not beaten.

I'm surprised it's so long.

Had more time to play MGS tonight as well, fuck this game is great. I'm playing pretty sloppy on my first run through, I'm not going for no kills or perfect stealth, I've been cutting throats of the useless guys. I figure if Big Boss eventually goes evil in MGS2 he'd probably be willing to slit some throats.

Quiet is a great buddy, almost a little too great. My only complaint is her constant humming when she has a target. Wish I could switch it off.

Just finished the game, with the "real ending", and... oh my god, Kojima

is there like a stat screen somewhere where you can see your playtime and other stuff like kills, tactical kos, tranqs, stuff like that? i was looking around last nite and couldn't find anything. i'm finally getting into the somewhat harder missions involving armored vehicles that is throwing a huge wrench into my tranq dart/chokehold routine. i think i may have accidentally killed a guy who was driving the truck i was riding in the back of when i accidentally hit it with a grenade launcher that was supposed to be aimed at a tank.

how many hrs to get you there?

75 hours ! Really took my time though, restarting missions when detected for example, though I less and less did that by the end of the game and went more berserk. What a long game ! It still tells me I have completed 58% of it...

How have you played 75 hours on a game that was released 8/9 days ago? Thats over 8 hours of solid gaming every day. O_o

I'm not sure if I'm impressed or shocked.

Sony is having a 20th Anniversary Sale with huge discounts (even more for PSN+ members) - I just picked up Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin for PS4 for 24.00 USD.

Stupid 17gb Destiny update last night didn't download/install automatically during the day even though I had the settings setup proper to do so.

Was even off work 2hrs early last night, thought I'd play some games. F'ed up my night it did.

I said fuck it, popped a sleeping pill and went to bed. Depressing. Now I'm up early-like and have to be all productive etc.

its a hard knock life

edit: belongs more in the fwp thread I guess lol.

new Apple TV just announced with a new remote (possibly motion controlled) and two home console games: Crossy Road-Co-op, and "Beats Sports". Cue a smiling Reznor and Dre playing tennis.

 

 

 

The Touch pad on the new remote includes gestures like a quick swipe that allows a user to quickly get to the end of a column or row. Users can also circle their thumb on the pad to make icons and posters "dance." Touch can also be used to easily scrub through a TV show or movie. If a user doesn't want to use the Touch pad to scrub through, they can ask Siri "skip ahead 7 minutes." Siri can also be asked "what did she say?", which causes her to rewind 15 seconds.

Seems unimpressive at first. They also did a stylus, didn't Steve say he'd never do one?

I'm afraid to read much of this thread bc of spoilers but I just wanted to add to the MGSV love. Fucking brilliant game .
