I played MGR without knowing poo poo about MGS and it was fully enjoyable. Also play MGS3, because it is one of the best games ever made- it's also sort of a stand-alone prequel that doesn't really need any knowledge of the previous MGS games to understand (Peace Walker and the upcoming MGSV are in the same prequel timeline)

hubris.height posted:i have played 2 before like a decade ago and just remember some cyber nonsense If you can deal with 2 you can deal with 4. A lot of the cinematics are front loaded, but I believe there are still fewer than there are in 2. Also, it sets up Revengeance. But yeah if it turns out you don't enjoy playing them obviously just skip to Revengeance and cut the poo poo out of some robots. Edit: for clarification 3 is the best MGS but it contributes the least to enjoyment of Revengeance imo which is why I didn't mention it.

honestly i kind of like MGS2 (not 4) but the only thing that you'll really miss out on if you play MGR first is the amusement at seeing Raiden go from being incredibly uncool to a complete killing machine

I was one of the very whiny babies who was upset at the Raiden swerve in MGS2 when it first came out. Now I am older and wiser and appreciate it. G_d bless Hideo Kojima.

Problem Sleuth posted:I'm pretty sure it's Distance which is a remake of a free game called Nitronic Rush. I think the group made Nitronic Rush while students and now they're graduated and making Distance as a full game. nitronic rush is pretty much everything i wanted in a racing game and im glad they are making it again but better gonna check out drift stage later thanks for link

The Raiden bait and switch was so amazing, and it let Snake be a total badass who is one step ahead of the player at almost all times.

A day late, but my thoughts on 2014 gaming: Games that were expected to be awesome, were awesome: * Wolfenstein: The New Order * Shadow of Mordor * Binding of Isaac: Rebirth * Defense Grid 2 * Dragon Age: Inquisition * Republique * MGR:Revengeance * Shovel Knight * The Wolf Among Us Games that I had low expectations for, and was pleasantly surprised: * Alien: Isolation. I'm generally not a fan of survival horror games, but holy poo poo, it's fantastic. Could have used fewer jumpscares, but it was excellent overall. * Divinity: Original Sin. Probably the best game I've backed on Kickstarter. * Shadowrun: Dragonfall. I'm a huge SR nerd, but I was a bit disappointed by Dead Man's Switch; Dragonfall more than made up for it. * Endless Legend. This has honestly supplanted the Civ series as my 4X of choice. * South Park: Stick of Truth. I honestly figured this would be an easy cash-in on a pop IP. But there's an actual game to this. * Xenonauts. I didn't expect an XCom ripoff to be able to compete while the XCom:UE expansion was still on shelves, but it's great. * Hand of Fate. Weird but good. * Octodad: Dadliest Catch. OCTODAD! Games that were surprisingly crap: * Planetary Annihilation. Such high hopes, and it was so damned buggy and unbalanced in beta, I gave up on it. Still haven't played it since it officially came out. * Warmachine Tactics. The beta was super rough, and it felt like they weren't sure whether they were building a singleplayer or a multiplayer game. * Watch_Dogs. It's not bad, but for being an open-world game, it was surprisingly linear -- and buggy as poo poo. Might go back and replay it in 2015 and see if I change my mind. * The Castle Doctrine. I tried to like this, but it ultimately fizzled -- and I think the pixel art approach worked against it. This poo poo is so weird, I can't decide if it's poo poo or genius, may be both: * Blade Symphony. Everyone seems to love it or hate it. * Drunken Robot Pornography. I enjoyed it, but it felt like there were too many levels that were too simple. Fewer levels with more complexity would have been better. * 7 Days to Die. It's like Minecraft meets DayZ, but 99% of servers are garbage. The only time I've enjoyed playing it was on the Goon private server, and even then, it felt like there was no point.

I was in a weird place with this one where I loved the approach it had to storytelling, but had to admit that it just wasn't a very good game mechanically. Really nice idea, though.

Sleeveless posted:On this note, Jazzpunk deserved to have been a much better game than it actually was. I enjoyed the hell out of Jazzpunk. But it was just silly randomness, and a lot of the humor came from expecting that gamers would intentionally run around trying everything and doing everything they could before actually doing the obviously-illustrated next step in the level. It would have probably been good in an episodic series, which is a rare thing for games.
