What are y'all playing? ver 2.0

#602

I beat Peace Walker for real now. Didn’t know Paz was voiced by Nana Mizuki, so the song was a pleasant surprise. I also beat Ground Zeroes. I got a little clumsy trying to get Paz out, but I figured out where she was right away. Took me an 1hr and 30m, got a B rank. Those trucks explode real fast, I don’t understand.

#603

And now I’m starting TPP.

#604

Pretty much. Thankfully 3 is a lot better, but unfortunately the only good thing about 2, the ragtag political rebels, were completely absent.

#605

Dude the gameplay is solid as fuck, though.

Also for like the first hour of playing the game I had texture downscaling turned on, because I misread it a downsampling and I was really confused why the graphics were so shitty, lol.

#606

MGSV is fucking sensational.

#607

It’s a shootymanz blaze it collect-a-thon open world generic missions game, yes.

#608

It’s going to get GOTY, isn’t it. This is what modern games are, now.

#609

I’m going to be frank, what i’ve been seeing make it seem leagues behind the other main entries in the franchise.

#610

I has no Metal Gear. :disappointed:

#611

MGS5 should be in my mailbox and I’ll try to play it tonight.

#612

Only if you play MGS for its fuck awful writing and story.

Gameplay wise it’s like the difference between Bubsy 3D and Super Mario Galaxy.

#613

Yeah, I’m not surprised. Now metal gear is LOOK UP MASTER CHIEF. OKAY, NOW LOOK DOWN MASTER CHIEF. NOW CROUCH. and it’s like, I know how to play a video game. The world is just made of Laboureds now so I guess everyone else is just gonna feel insulted.

#614

Are you suggesting that this latest MGS is somehow simplified, or overly modernised to be hand-holding?

'Cus that’s reasonably hilarious if so. But I can’t be sure because I can’t really understand what you mean.

#615

Prologue is hot kojima garbage but gameplay after that first hour is that dylan hot fire.

#616

Out of the two, the latter, but neither really. I mean that since MGS is now a mass appeal game, it has to have the same boring as fuck gameplay tutorials every single one of these games have because they’re making 'em for your people now.

The slo-mo react is pretty hand-holdy though. I think it’d be a cool mechanic if the timer were shorter, sort of like a QTE. I’m not using it but from what I’ve seen, people shoot the guy and then they’re just staring at the body for like 3 more seconds.

#617

Lol, ok.

#618

I went back to Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP since I never got very far. It’s incredibly pretty, but I’m not liking much else about it. Currently, I’m in a convoluted part of the game where I have to adapt to the real-life lunar cycle.

#619

MGSV:

Even by Kojima standards, that prologue is like a burning whale flying through the air and devouring a helicopter.

MGSV #2:

Which, you know, endless ellipses of speechless silence. I loved it, of course.

MGSV #3:

I was, like, nah, it can’t get any more preposterous, this is the limit, but it wasn’t the limit, it was never the limit.

#620

I’m not reading those spoilers.

I’m up to chapter 1 in MGS5. The prologue was slow, but going through the controls thoroughly was good.

#621

He didn’t spoil anything.
