Sorry, guy.
I realize that that MGS Arm is, like, accurate because it's the Sci-Fi '80's. But, like, sitting on your desk, it's just going to look like a cheesy-rear end arm that isn't that cool or interesting.

Yeah that was what made me delete it. I'm surprised they don't let you change it.

Probably gonna get hell divers here in a bit. Off work the next few days and this seems like the perfect way to spend that time.

It's also not iconic to Big Boss as a character or anything, right?

It will stand beside my foot-tall Dark Souls 2 figure that no one gets is from Dark Souls 2 besides the people that played Dark Souls 2.

It's cool and interesting to me, which is the point :colbert:

Maybe they updated it because I just found it in the options :doh: You can't do it in a mission, but if you go to the Options screen on the main menu there's a box you can tick to invert Y axis. Much better now :)

This reminds me of back in the day when designers were trying to come up with intuitive schemes to control characters in 3D space and a lot of them settled on "make the guy move like a tank"

I switched from inverted to regular about two years ago for reasons but inverted still kind of makes more sense to me. It has nothing to do with flying a plane. I think my point of reference for why inverted makes sense has something to do with the point where the skull meets the spine, like to look up that top/back part of your head is going back/down.

Inverted just works better when it comes to controls that arent mouselook. This is a known fact.

It's also similar to how you control a camera when it's on a tripod, you push the stick up to make it point down. I actually think I started with inverted Y because of that, but I trained myself out of it because it tended to be a pain in the rear end to keep changing settings or if it didn't have it.

the super pack is like a dollar and comes with Thanos along with some other fuckers like Phoneix, Black Suit Spidey, and A-Bomb. It's just like a dollar so that one's good; the other one with mostly no-name Asgard fuckers isn't worth it.

I think that's the whole point of Microsoft's HoloLens concept that they announced a few weeks ago; it's basically completely built around the idea of augmented reality. Check out the video they released (which is probably 10 times cooler than how it will actually work in real life, but hey, who knows!)

Yeah, I'm much more interested in Hololens than any VR headset. VR is long way off from being immersive and I'd rather be in a cool techno future where stuff is floating around in real space.

Yeah, that was why I switched to normal as well. It isn't really that hard to switch to inverted from normal or vice versa, people just get freaked out because for the first hour it's like you have dyslexia of the thumb.

Not yet. It's described as "Snake's bionic arm" so I imagine by the end of TPP it will be strongly MGS-related.
