Papercut posted:Why do you guys have a category for trash? My categories are just "finished" and "unfinished", and "finished" includes anything I'll never play. Bundles. I'm too lazy to check if a free game is poo poo. On the other hand, some games are worth replaying so I can't just chuck everything into the Beaten category.

Like MGS is not filled with silly poo poo. Revengeance is consistent with the Twin Snakes tone. And it is awesome because of it.

He crawls around in a box for god's sake. The entire series is parts goofy as gently caress, pretty interesting, and just plain lovely like a CallofDuty as far as the script goes.

Metal Gear has a very distinct style which is its own dumb thing. That does not include kickflipping pizzas. If you are a person who wants to play Rising because it is a Metal Gear game and you want a dumb Metal Gear plot you are going to be disappointed. This is what I did. This is why I did not like that game. Also the garbage camera and having any potentially interesting bit spoiled by goons posting every monkey cheese moment in every thread before the game even came out on God's Preferred Platform.

drat, if I classified games as finished and unfinished, there would be basically nothing in the finished category. I kinda wish I could just auto-categorize by the tags that the games already have.

Thanks for all the category lists guys. I figured out a way of categorizing games by the one thing that really matters.

If you are a person who wants to play Rising because it is a Metal Gear game and you want a dumb Metal Gear plot you are going to be disappointed. Except the plot is very, very Metal Gear. Raiden is not doing a single pizza kickflip thing because that's not the persona Raiden has in it. Revengeance is very much a sequel to both MGS2 and MGS4, and is completely consistent in characterization with them. It deals with MGS4's events, anyways. It does escalate the ridiculousness a LOT though, but there is the precedent of Twin Snakes. That one was closer in tone to DMC3 anyways. Onnnn the other hand, Jetstream Sam in the DLC is somewhat reminiscent of the perpetually amused DMC4 Dante

I've played through all of Metal Gear Rising as well as a good chunk of the Metal Gear Solid series, and I've played quite a bit of Devil May Cry 1 and 3. Saying that Metal Gear Rising's plot is at all similar to those is pretty much blatantly wrong, Metal Gear Rising is a game that actively attempts to and succeeds in containing an awesome amount of Metal Gear Solid insanity. Also, that Depressurizer thing sounds really goddamn useful.

how me a frog posted:Endless Legend is a good game imo but to be brutally honest it is literally Endless Space with a (MUCH) worse battle system. Wait, what exactly is the problem with Endless Legend's combat? I thought Endless Space had a nice interface and some interesting ideas but I absolutely hated its military/combat, it was too finicky and unintuitive for me. Endless Legend looks to have a King's Bounty-ish combat system which I never had any problems with.

Have any of the people traumatized by Runaway tried the studio's later games? "the new, hilarious adventure gem from the creators of Runaway. A great adventure game in high definition, loaded with laughs, tributes, mysteries and wacky puzzles!" "After captivating players from all around the world with the mythic Runaway trilogy, Pendulo Studios presents a new adventure gaming masterpiece!" I wish Steam had the German Simon the Sorcerer games.

CheeseThief posted:So I saw the Home Interactive publisher sale for this weekend, in particular the bundle for the Spider Studio RPGs caught my eye. Anyone want to weigh in on the quality of these games? I played only a bit of Bound by Flame but it's aggressively mediocre and boring. On the other hand Styx Master of Shadows looks like an at least serviceable stealth game where you are NOT Sam Fisher's clone shooting guns.

As someone who recently played MGS1 for first time, having only looked at it because of MGR, which I'd only looked at because of DMC, which I only looked at because DmC was free on PS+, MGR is much closer to MGS in terms of writing and tone than it is to DMC. MGS and MGR try to take themselves seriously, DMC doesn't give a poo poo.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition still saved to its install point in SteamApps. Yes, there are games that still do this after Windows XP has been superseded for eight years and OS X and Linux have never been cool with it.

Anyone who takes any of the sociopolitical and war philosophy parts of MGS seriously is just enabling Kojima to make another MGS4. No-one wants that.

This isn't an either/or situation you know. Kojima most definitely is trying to craft games with some, if not necessarily deep, then certainly pervasive themes, he also just likes throwing in a bunch of silly stuff too.

MGR is one big parody of American international politics.

Zombie Samurai posted:How to Survive is the daily, how is it? It looks like a... survivalist ARPG? It's not really that "survivalist" as you're playing through a campaign, but I enjoyed it. It's got a cool crafting system and isn't really that much of an ARPG besides the point and click isometric gameplay. There isn't much random loot for example, you mostly scavenge and find pieces and craft them into your armor/weapons/etc. The co-op is cool too.

Zombie Samurai posted:How to Survive is the daily, how is it? It looks like a... survivalist ARPG? Steam shows I put 12 hours into it, but I gave up on it after a certain point. The general gameplay is fine, but the crafting got to be too annoying for me. You need to find a bunch of random gubbins to piece together all kinds of stuff, but you have limited inventory space, no 'bank' type storage chest, and if you drop things on the ground they disappear after you reload your save. Playing 'guess which bit is important' is my least favorite mini-game. Once I ran into that problem, I just dropped it and moved on to the next game. The backlog's too long, you know? Edit: To be fair, after checking a bit, the game's Steam forums claim dropped items don't disappear, but I recall they were doing that for me. So your mileage may vary.
