so i should buy it and not play it? thats silly, I'm past those days in my pc gaming life.
Finished Shrouded in Sanity and got ending B. So here are basically the pros and cons.
Pros:
Pretty Cool Atmosphere
Combat is pretty satisfying
The boss fights were pretty cool and unique from each other
Soundtrack was pretty memorable.
Easy Upgrade system
Decent enemy variety
Fair challenge
New Game +
Multiple playable characters
Cons:
Inconsistent art on some areas
Atrocious UI
Weird movement in 1 area but its its just that small area.
If you keep an enemy on a door there is no way to get their souls or item drops cause you will be forced to move forward.
Despite the game visually not being the greatest thing the mechanics are there and the game is super satisfying. Buy it on a sale and have some fun with another 2D Soulslike game.

Tunnelbear VPN is not free anymore.
WHAT SHOULD I USE NOW???

It's still free. The first thing you see when you load the website is a button that says "Get started, it's free".
But free accounts don't have access to Australian servers and there's a 500MB monthly bandwidth limit.Edit: Here are some alternatives:
There's also Spotflux if all you need is a US IP.
So I think this question has been asked bazillion times in this thread alone, but what's the right order to play Ys games that are on Steam?

Chronologically:
Origins -> I -> II -> Felghana -> Napishtim -> Lacrimosa (not out yet)
I've played them these way, but you can play Origins after Napishtim if you want to play them as they were released.
there really isn't one other than playing II after I and maybe Origin after those two
I'd recommend something like I -> II -> Origin -> Felghana -> Napishtim
Lacrimosa of Dana actually takes place between V and VI
Worth nothing that they can be played in any order since they are mostly self-contained and unrelated. That being said, Ys I and II are basically one game split in two and are probably best played first. They are the only ones that might be hard going back to if you play any of the other ones first.

Why the fuck is it numbered VIII then?
Why does MGS5 take place before MGS4?
Kojima shouldn't be used as a example of good storytelling or numbering titles to be honest.

Same as MGS3, but it's Konami, they do stupid shit. We're talking about Falcom here.

It's all fun and games until you're Kingdom Hearts.

It's my favorite saga, and at least they are numbered correctly. If they could name Origins instead of numbering it, why not call Lacrimosa 5.5 or smth.

I endorse this message
I need to replay the game with that mod that makes the entire game OSP, those are the best missions.
Because it was released after Ys Seven
Ys IV/Celceta also takes place before Ys III/Felghana so nothing particularly new!

It does? I thought it was after.
Probably no one volunteered to make one, or they're running late, or they think to put it up on like June 4th.
If the game is already playable because of early access for preorders and you feel like making one, I'd say go ahead and create a thread for it.
I was thinking about booting up the real Morrowind or Oblivion since I haven't played those in a decade, but then I remembered how long they would take to mod.
That's a day of work!

I mean the Ys series isn't exactly known for its story and I wouldn't play them in order of story anyways. Playing Napishtim was hard after beating Felghana since Napishtim was made before Felghana and is a rough version of that gameplay style. I know Felghana was a remake of Ys III but yeah, these games should be played in order of gameplay progression.
Thanks buds.
Gameplay progression makes sense to me.
Would that be I - II - Origin - Napishtim - Felghana?

Origin and Felghana after Napishtim. Napishtim was the first attempt at that 3D style of combat and just the weaker one overall of those. It's up to you which of those two you wanna play after, they're both really good and one game wont ruin the experience of another.
Excellent.

I know this is for Origin but figured you guys might like to know possibly. ME Trilogy on Origin is $5.19 right now on cdkeys.com. Posted it also in the ME thread but wanted to post here as well since I don't think it's worthy of a topic. Not sure I've seen it for cheaper.
If only bioware points went on these kind of sale so that I could also buy the DLC at a good discount.

Renowned Explorers is the daily deal on Steam today.
The reason it caught my attention is because it was discounted about 10 days ago when the new DLC released.
That new DLC that released 10 days ago is also 50% off in this daily deal.
That seems weird. It either sold like shit or this is a price mistake. I thought it might be a precursor to being in a Humble Monthly but that already happened last year.
Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone was interested.

It was a mistake and their other game, Reus, was supposed to be the daily deal.

It's the only one of the core MGS titles (1-5, PW) that I haven't been able to complete. Put a good amount of hours but eventually I petered off of it even with a co-op partner. The boss fights are especially bad.
I wish I could forget about MGSV.
Just so that I could experience all its greatness for the first time again.
I use standard configuration. No HUD at all while you are exploring, you can see minimap when you activate Witcher Sense and during combat health bar and consumables are on screen. Also during Witcher Sense you can have 3D marker that shows where is your next objective.
I finished it but I was really disappointed. I played the HD version shortly before Ground Zeroes' release expecting this missing chapter of the MGS saga, something that was at least on the level of a mainline entry storywise, and it really wasn't. The few gameplay improvements it made were really good but it was way too grindy and its DNA as a PSP game made it really hard to look past the design/tech limitations. Anything PW did well is done way better in GZ and TPP.
Think they will correct it?

Logitech G403 ordered, slowly starting to feel that Destiny 2 PC hype, I just wish we'll get the beta next month and it's not delayed or something..
They really can't go now and say there won't be beta for PC as it's bundled with the pre-orders, that would be a scam.. right?
Next up, if something nice for PC announced at E3 might upgrade my GTX 1070 to 1080Ti, if there's beta I'll get to try how D2 runs with this so here's hoping 1440p60 with High settings is doable.

And don't forget if you have it on Steam you can get it free on GOG via GOG Connect
And no POI at all times I presume? Sounds great.

It seems so, but they can't until business hours for Valve on Monday.
You'd Never Believe The Discount Mistake These Devs Made
This sounds more like a Valve mistake than a dev mistake tbh.

Wait what? What Morrowind? Is it a remastered version? I never saw the news before.
Also is MGS V in monthly or just sales?
