PSA: Game Discounts

[Syt]

I see Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is out, and at discount. Worth it? The console reviews didn't look too bad, but I've never played a Metal Gear game. 

EDIT: Oh, it unlocks in 3 sodding weeks.

Anyway,  do the guards still do that in Metal Gear games, with the noise and the exclamation and all that?  The last one I played was Metal Gear Solid.

Yup.

Anyway, just picked up Spore and both EPs as part of the flash sales.

[DontSayBanana]

Well, that's going to leave a sour aftertaste for a while.  Brand new Steam copy of Spore: invalid key message.  Thanks, EA.  I love how you're so committed to avoiding piracy that you're going to break the game for paying customers.

That occasionally happens on all download sites when they still more copies than they expected.  That said you get what you deserve when buying a game like that. 

[Grey Fox]

It's doing you a favor. Spore sucks.

[DontSayBanana]

You know, there are those of us that actually think generic FPSes like Call of Duty are shit.  Shocking, I know.

[Grey Fox]

I don't know
a) what that has to do with Spore sucking
b) why you assume I like CoD?

It's more actiony and less stealthy, from what I understand, than the mainstay MGS titles.

And the protagonist is Raiden rather than Solid Snake.

So it might be a cool game - my guess is that it is - but I don't know if comparing it vs. the rest of the series is going to be really helpful.

Since I'm only vaguely aware of the other Metal Gear games, the question would be: is it a fun game in and of itself, and is the story digestable if you haven't played the earlier entries?

I wish I knew. Can't answer that one for you.
