It was ok then I got to some helicopter boss right after a tank boss and never even bothered to continue because I didn't feel like another boss fight. Skyhooking people loving owns though.

The bosses in PW are terrible and don't even have cool characters behind them, they're just tanks with a bunch of boring dudes inside

Yeah it was the helicopter that made me stop. MGS is known for its kooky goon squads and not having one really killed PW for me.

The boss fights in Peace Walker and the overall grindy nature of it made me not even want to play it but it still did look like a worthy addition to the series, if only for the ridiculous stuff like the Japanese censoring ~tickle rod~ torture and anime girls piloting robot dinosaurs voiced by Hatsune Miku. Some argued that it got TOO wacky but I think it hit the right notes of having absolutely no tonal consistency like MGS usually does.

peace walker is a great portable game totally worth it to own if you've got a vita or whatever. i imagine it would suck hard if you bought the remaster for consoles without knowing that it was made for bite sized play sessions and had limited environments because it had to fit on a psp. people complain about the bosses but they are all trivial to clear for the first time if you bring the machine gun and rpg and keep getting ammo refill drops.

I watched someone play Peace Walker and they were literally just killing some big tank thing over and over again to farm for drops. It looked like the worst thing ever

The basic gist of grinding the bosses is that they have AI cores, which you can yank out of them to steal them and put them in your own Metal Gear. In order to make the best Metal Gear possible you need an absolute shitload of parts, like way way too many for it to stay fun that long. The trouble though is that you can't stay in the AI pod for long before it boots you out, and you can only do it a) at the end of the boss fight by yourself or b) while it's stunned in co-op, which gets boring quickly. But you don't HAVE to do it, because all of the main AI cores are obtained via the times where you fight the bosses for the plot. It's just that if you don't do it, your Metal Gear will be kinda gimped and the big twist where you have to fight it at the end won't be very fun or climactic if it's just made out of toaster parts. They did make it with the fact that people wouldn't replay those missions in mind, it's just that they emphasize that you still probably should, which is boring.

There's also stuff in PW which you can't get without soldiers who have a specific, random skill. Good luck w/ that

CJacobs posted:it hit the right notes of having absolutely no tonal consistency like MGS usually does. The story behind that is that Kojima has what could best be called story-scoping problems. He talked about it some after 2 and a lot more since. He'll have one idea and get really into it but then read something and get really into that or watch some movie and get inspired to write some jokes and he'll include them all, trying to build a cohesive game the whole time. It's how he ends up with this somewhat schizo experience that bounces inbetween the horrors of war and magic bee men and otaku who build mechs but also gently caress their moms. It works well in a Catch 22 sort of way but I agree with whoever said 1 and 3 struck the best balance in tone while keeping the gameplay at the forefront. 2 and 4 sidelined the gameplay too often and occasionally ran off the rails. bloodychill fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Apr 17, 2015 |

I think we can all agree that Kojima has gigantic balls for pulling poo poo like the protagonist switch in MGS2 in a triple A game that is also a sequel to a previous beloved triple A game knowing full well people are going to be pissed off about it. I'm not saying that it's smart, however. Part of me thinks it's his way of rebelling against having to make MGS games again and again when he apparently wants to make something else but that might be over analyzing it.

I think we can all agree that the most interesting japanese devs take a lot of drugs. Miyamoto loves the 'shrooms, Kojima probably smokes mad weed, and suda51 can't even wake up without 200 micrograms of lab grade LSD

Japanese drug law is crazy draconian cause it has a much bigger cultural taboo than in most Western countries. Plenty of designer drugs there to circumvent that, though.

I just beat an already relatively hard mini boss in God Hand on level 3/die without dying. God Hand is really loving good and I'm glad I'm not spending 90% of my time on level 1 or 2 this time.

Anime Surprise: what game is this?  A Steampunk Gent posted:The New Order isn't really like old shooters though, or at least not Doom/Quake era run and gun shooters. You still move really slowly, have half your abilities locked behind skill trees, primarily rely on cover to avoid damage and use almost exclusively various flavours of hitscan guns;

Plus if you think about it, Mega Man X is seriously hosed up. Right? Right? I wonder what drugs they were smoking, probably weed and also like um... pot too!

I can't believe he must have been smoking drug mushrooms when he made Mario, what powers of observation you do possess! Im just glad that these masters of video games were at least only doing the good drugs like "shrroms" "LSD" and "Weed bud"

Come to think of it TCC goons should make videogames, like how to not wake up your 6 year old daughter during a coke party or preventing your arm from falling off for as long as possible.
