Witcher 3 is a true open world RPG, where the other two were not. The whole gameworld is seamless and supposedly at least three times the size of Witcher 2.

I'm not sure. I don't think you'll like Witcher 3 though based on what you've said. Seamless gameworld already pushed it into be being then Inquisition though. I don't understand what Bioware was thinking with its world design.

They've been pushing pre-orders of The Witcher 3 for over a year, I can't wait for it to come out just so I can stop seeing it on the front page of Steam every other day.

I spent 40 hours on the first game alone. You're not finishing both games in 20 hours unless you just ignore absolutely everything but the main quest.

I wish someone made a Die Hard game using the Dead Rising system, like certain events happen every few hours, like hostages being killed, etc. and the terrorists wander around but unlock new skills depending on what order you kill them in.

The Dead Rising/Way of the Samurai school of game design is super rad and it makes me sad that more people can't flip off the switch that compels them to 100% everything in one playthrough and then get frustrated when the game isn't designed around doing that.

Not being able to at least beat the basic story mode on your first go is lame, I'm glad Dead Rising 2 learned from 1's mistake in that way

Quick question here.
Can someone point me in the right direction to understand what the hell is going on with the story in Metal Gear Rising: Revengence?

I've only really played a couple Metal Gear games, which was the first one on the NES, and Metal Gear Solid (I think) I blanked out on the series after the first playstation metal gear, and now, I see the game is suddenly a cyborg ninja beat 'em up?
If my question would be better asked elsewhere, please do tell.

Raiden is a former child soldier who helped Snake overthrow some illuminati super computers which were running the world. At one point he was captured by them, he had medical experiments performed on him and became a cyborg ninja. He works as a freelance mercenary now because HE WAS BORN TO KILL and also his wife is the worst person in the world. His character arc relates to that he was a child solider and has a fuckton of baggage about it, that's all you really need to know.

To be fair to Rose, an AI was impersonating her for the entirety of 2. I don't think we ever really got an understanding of her real personality because the real Rose barely shows up in 4.

It's never actually said whether or not she was an AI from the start, its left openended, whereas Campbell is definitely an AI from start to finish.

Their early interactions only really work if it's the real actual Rose, their relationship is terrible and messed up but if it's just a computer berating him about it the whole thing seems pretty pointless. Given the game doesn't conclusively show one way or the other which is the case I choose to believe it's the real lady until -that section-

The Patriots just like loving with him, they're rear end in a top hat computers after all. And one can assume they've been messing with him for a while seeing is that he's been running through VR missions for a while and they purposely set him up as Not-Snake in their recreation of Shadow Moses on Big Shell.

Actual the early interactions only work if it's an AI trying to gently caress with him. It makes zero sense that Rose would decide to bring up their relationship issues during a life or death mission when she's supposed to be supporting him.

If MGS has taught me anything, it's that anything is up for grabs as conversation during an intense mission, be it relationship dysfunction, the plight of the kurds, or drowning your sister by loving your mom

Konami, trying to erase PT from existence. That is some weird poo poo. I've never had a game in my PSN library I couldn't download again, even if it got de-listed. Not with PT, hell no. gently caress that poo poo, Konami isn't playing around with erasing that game as quickly as they could Fox Studios from MGS.

That's true too. My personal theory for Rose's behavior is that the AI was programmed by Otaconesque geeks who have literally no idea what women are like so they just fed the computer a bunch of Cathy comics and romantic comedies and let it create a personality based on that. Because of that the Rose AI only has two modes - talk about chocolate or bitch about relationship.
