It really says a lot how everyone has an opinion on the MGS series.

that's because the MGS series insists upon itself. you can't ignore it. it's like not having an opinion on Neutral Milk Hotel

like that's actually it, isn't it, MGS is the video game equivalent of NMH

I feel Peace Walker is by far the worst mainline MGS, its frickin' boring as hell. People poo poo on 4 but at least that was fun to play.

I can't agree with you given I'm pretty sure I spent almost twice as much time in cutscenes in 4 as I did playing the game :/

The real correct answer is "get an HDMI splitter and a long cable, and a USB extender" because steam streaming just doesn't 100% work in my experience :(

I don't know. I liked each of the MGS games up to and including 3 when they when they came out but now I'm like really "meh" about the series. Gameplay is OK but I'd rather play an old Splinter Cell game and the story seems to go between over the top and hilarious and over the top and dumb.

Maybe MGS5 will get me to have an opinion on them again.

They're interesting counterparts in the 4 has some great gameplay but there isn't very much of it while Peace Walker has a poo poo-ton of content but most of it is grinding the same few missions over and over to unlock things.

Yeah, I think 4 actually had the best gameplay in the series (Though 5 is looking like it will easily trump it) when you actually got to play it.

its not boring at all because fulton. its a portable title so its not a fair comparison despite the hd remaster on console. besides now we have an answer to the question "what would kojima do with a monster hunter game?"

Good graphics by most goon definitions means as poo poo brown and grey as possible with bloom lighting.

Yes, one of the most commonly-criticized aspects of game art design is something that all goons except you, the smart and beautiful exception, love and want to kiss.

Before you judge me as a graphics whore for my opinion on Xenoblade, keep in mind my favorite game is Dwarf Fortress. Both are great games with bad graphics.

beat dragons dogma. very fun. probably replay it eventually with different classes maybe try to do more of the post game stuff but the everfall random monster encounter stuff is not really grabbing me now with my boring warrior character.

game's quest flags are so hosed up but in a kind of endearing way even if it does gently caress you over left and right until you know what you're doing and what to watch out for.

started Neir today and it seems really great and refreshingly polished coming off of dd. fun times.

If you're a warrior, you could move into Assassin. You won't be using many of their bow abilities, but a lot of what they do is climbing-based, and the warrior's high strength growth is great for that.

ok cool. thanks i'll try it out if any part of neir makes me as mad as the cavern of fate or whatever room i saw this morning with the double dark chimera with 6 of those hell wolves that spit fire and drag you around that i entered right after killing a dragon, leaving the room, and turning back around to see if i missed something.

Outrun's just one sprint, this is gonna have circuits AND sprints AND other game modes.

Besides, it's got pop-up headlights, like in my avatar. You can't argue with pop-up headlights.

Before they even see it one of them just randomly calls out HALO WARS 2...

...and then when it actually IS halo wars 2, they all go completely nuts.

I like their conclusion that SEGA is making a HALO now.

No, just the mechanicals are too expensive and they break, causing safety issues.

Yes, they're all very good, Ys 1+2 Chronicle is very old school though and retains the original games weird 'walk into enemies to attack them' thing, which works better than it sounds.

Coincidentally enough i just finish Ys Origins on PC yesterday.

It was actually a great game despite it not really being my usual type of RPG. It's rather challenging in parts, even on Normal, but it never feels unfair.
