most reviews say, 'meh. its easy, but there's lots to do' so i'm still on the fence. i'll watch some gameplay before i decide to pick it up, i have a huge backlog.


what i should do is playthrough mgs 2 and 3

EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AND OPEN PALM SLAM A WHITE WHALE INTO THE PEQUOD. IT'S HELL'S HEART AND RIGHT THEN AND THERE I STRIKE AT THEE ALONGSIDE WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER, ISHMAEL.
when i saw that portrait in srhk i was having a hard time imagining how anyone could come away with a different impression

Meanwhile in Gaichu's you're helping him slaughter his old attachment which consists of one of the most elite corp units in the series.
gaichu's loyalty mission is basically perfect. simple, to the point. too bad the loyalty mission upgrades seem pretty badly implemented/glitched so far

what is this shadowrun boston thing on steam, it looks identical to the stuff being made by harebrained
it is bad and never going to get better. i got it for free and it is a waste of time. even the base srr game is better and that is saying something

90-minute trip report: it's shadow of arkham assassin's guerrilla saboteur, but in australia and with a cool car

those games hit me right in the limbic brain so I'm enjoying the hell out of it. I hate when games put most of the unlocks behind progression markers, though - I've already got a ton more scrap than I can even use

all the reviews say it just gets boring and samey later on though. but it's definitely worth the $25 I paid for it - the car combat is awesome and I haven't even unlocked half the weapons

i installed mgs5 through two rdp sessions and the game start and ran. A++ would be distracted at work by the intro cutscene choppily playing again.

I just realised, MGS V is called phantom pain in reference to the phenomena often experienced by amputees: phantom limb (pain) lol

also big boss is missing an arm, and thus presumably undergoes phantom limb pain at some point

the weird thing is it's actually getting a mix of 9/10 and 5/10

i got it cheap too so if i get bored i won't feel bad about dropping it

i imagine that's true but i also assume that the publisher knew the game was mediocre and did this to help boost day one sales

plus having to compete with mgsv is tough enough idk

thems fighting words!

its mostly the middle part that brings down thunderdome but even Bartertown is pretty poo poo

the ending is bonkers bad

the first has the cool car chases to redeem it, esp for a movie shot on such a low budget
