WickedHate posted:By the way, a lot of people added me as a friend recently, so I wanted to say: I've actually literally never had friends on Steam before, so I don't know if like, adding something to your wishlist notifies other people or not. I'm sorry if it does and I'm not trying to do that to hint at people to buy me stuff, I just like queuing up stuff I wanna buy eventually in a convienent list, and I'm browsing Steam right now while Resi 4 installs. Well, in 'friend history' (or whatever it's called) it'll add a one-liner stating that you added X game(s) to your wishlist that day, but it's pretty easy to miss and doesn't send out any notifications or anything, so it's perfectly fine to use as a 'to-buy' list - I think a lot of goons use it for that purpose, anyway. (I do too, although I never look at the wishlist itself - I use it so that Steam emails me when it goes on sale for 50+% off)

I add to my wishlist whenever, I don't give a gently caress Although I guess I only added 4 games to my wishlist this month (Oceanhorn, Woolfe, White Night, Jumpjet Rex) and I always add indie games which end up being in bundles so my wishlist never stays too big

Without a wishlist, there wouldn't be a christmas sale gift train. It is therefore nothing but pure goodness.

Adding something to your wishlist doesn't send a nagging alert to your friends. They don't see it at all unless they go to your profile and specifically look.

Wishlisting is a good way to keep track of sales as well games that look interesting to you that you're going to wait on. That's how I've always used it.

It'll show up on the Friend Activity page at the time they're added, amid all the achievement notifications, which is after all the purchases and screenshot uploads. It's still not obtrusive, but I have found out some titles going up I was unaware of through seeing friends adding them to their wishlists.

I've been playing Backbreaker again and this is the type of game that would have been a massive success if on the PC and with a proper replay tool. It's not amazing but it's using the euphoria engine so the tackles and such happen in the most amazing way.

So, as someone who enjoys the old MGS games and is interested in their change in direction regarding map linearity (since the various MGS V 'operations' are all meant to be open-world, right?), would MGS V: Ground Zeroes be considered worth the $10 and ~4GB download? Keeping in mind that I was surprised to notice that they had replaced David Hayter with Kiefer Sutherland, which made watching the trailer slightly jarring. (seeing as I've seen 24 in the past, and don't really associate Sutherland with 'stealth' - plus I think Hayter fits the 'Snake' bill perfectly) So, how easily/quickly did other long-time MGS fans get used to the change in VA? Like, does Sutherland do it well, and becomes a good replacement for Hayter? Thanks EDIT: Oh, and what's it like with KB+M? I wouldn't imagine it'd be too bad, but I've only ever played MGS on the PlayStation before, so I thought I should check. Major Isoor fucked around with this message at 09:53 on Mar 25, 2015 |

I add stuff to my wishlist to remind me that there's something about the game that makes me want to buy it, not in the hope someone will gift it to me (I prefer they don't, I've got enough poo poo on my backlog already), plus steam sends out helpful emails for when it's on sale.

Pandoras box man, you just ripped it in half. For $10, if you're willing to play all the missions even though they're all on the same map, Ground Zeroes is a steal. Getting 100% will take you at least 7 or 8 hours and that's if you know what you're doing. First time out, it'll take you a lot longer. I couldn't be more excited for MGSV at this point, especially given how slick and enjoyable GZ is. As for the Keifer situation, it's practically null for GZ because BB has all of a couple lines, but I don't really mind him after spending the time I did with the game.

Snake barely talks in MGSV. To be honest, he had only a few lines in MGS4, too, so it's not that jarring. Mostly you'll be hearing Kaz Miller blabbering about mission objectives over and over again. GZ is absolutely worth it at  . Apart from the side missions you also get two "secret" ones after collecting all XOF emblems.

Sutherland hardly ever talks so it's not that big a deal. It also has some of the best stealth gameplay I've seen, kind of like a combination of MGS 4 and Splinter Cell (though MGS 3 is still my favorite). The main mission is like an hour long, there are a few other missions for you to do which may be like 30-60 minutes each. But it's fun going through each mission over and over again trying to perfect your run. I've probably got like 20 hours out of it and still haven't perfected it. It's a good game, runs like butter, will scratch the itch till TPP comes out. edit: gently caress those xof badges though. i keep trying to find them and then get distracted trying to wipe out the entire base.

Cool, thanks guys, you've sold me on it. Purchase going through as I write this! (Also, I too thought that MGS3 was the best - not MGS1, shock horror - so it's good to hear that it's a least of a similar quality, albeit shorter) EDIT: Oof, and by being too quick to jump on buying the game after three recommendations were posted in rapid succession, I ruined Terminally Bored's PM gift.  I really appreciate the thought though!

There's a special edition of Devil May Cry 4 coming out this summer. Three new characters, a new difficulty setting and gameplay changes. Since DMC4 seems to have really bad load times for me, I might jump on this.

Only 4 is worth getting as it it legitimately one of the best games ever made. 6 has the best version of mercenaries but unfortunately you have to play through the terrible campaigns to unlock all of that first. 5 is completely poo poo. The only good thing is that Chris punches a rock, presumably out of frustration from falling from grace and being in such a worthless lovely game.

Ddraig is wrong. RE5 is probably the best one out of 4/5/6, even if the co-op partner's AI is a bit dumb. 4 is solid and has the novelty factor going for it, but 5 is where they really managed to fine-tune the mechanics added in 4.

RE5 is meh. RE6, you only have to play Ada's Campaign to get Ada and Carla for Mercenaries - everything else comes unlocked from the get go or gets unlocked through playing Mercs. Lastly, RE4 is a great game married to an absolutely awful control scheme. The fact that you have to stay still to aim and fire was claustrophobic as poo poo.

I'll have you know my opinions regarding resident evil are unquestionable and i will fight you Resident Evil 5 tries to refine re4 but fails to understand that certain things might seem like limitations but are actually necessary for creating a balanced and fun game. RE4 is a game of chess, perfectly balanced in every way with every single piece and move carefully constructed. Re5 is a turd.

Azran posted:Lastly, RE4 is a great game married to an absolutely awful control scheme. The fact that you have to stay still to aim and fire was claustrophobic as poo poo. Yeah, RE4 unfortunately shows its age if you've at all played 6 or either of the Revelations games. 5 has the same "stand still to aim" thing but enemies tend to come at you from further away and with clearer sightlines, so it's less of an issue.

RE4 is bad because it doesn't have co-op, which is the only way I will ever play a Resident Evil game.

Thanks. The only thing I notice from friends is what they are currently playing when I look at the friends list. I am always hitting the friend list cap though, so I turned off the pop-up notification whenever someone starts a game. It wouldn't be a bad feature if it didn't have to display every single person in a game when Steam starts. Just show new notifications! I don't need to see a list of what 100 people are playing every time I start Steam, and have them display 3 at a time!
