Damnit guys, stop talking about MSGV, I haven't played it yet, but I will eventually! I almost moused over some of those spoiler bars.  Speaking of Metal Gear, after its success with Frostgrave, I'm looking forward to another Osprey game coming out that seems like its kinda Metal Gear styled. Black Ops. I love that Osprey is getting into tabletop (war)games.

I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't care about MGSV or Witcher 3.  I do have Splatoon, though. I just haven't played much lately because I've been chewing through Mad Max.

Honestly I do not care about MGSV at all and will never get it or play it, but I can recognize its a pretty big game a lot of people like. I've also never played or cared about the Witcher series so. Solidarity there, friend. There is absolutely no game that compares to Undertale though, it rules in a big way.

House Louse posted:Paul Park wrote Forgotten Realms books? Everyone needs a paycheck. I haven't read the novel that author bio is from, but the amazon and goodreads 1 star reviews indicate that it's probably a lot better than most licensed fic. quote:This book was nearly impossible to read as the author seemed to think she was writing a book of poetry, not a fantasy novel. The plot was nearly non-existant, there was little-to-no action - basically the characters floundered in self doubt, mired in hate, for the entire book. I LOVE the Forgotten Realms books but this one...was burn worthy at best. Horrid. Read it at your own peril. quote:The writing feels fractured, bordering on incoherence. This, in turn, makes it impossible for me to establish any connection to the characters.

MGS5 is GOTY because I can sneak into a Soviet camp and steal every man, mounted gun, vehicle, and cargo container without anyone noticing. There's nothing quite like sneaking up behind a big drat tank and lifting it into the sky, thereby stealing every man inside. Big Boss - Man Stealer

The concept of GOTY is frankly kind of stupid. Different games are good for different audiences, and gaming covers so many different audiences nowadays that it makes no sense to declare one game superior to everything else.

The xenophobes had the advantage of having Seigfried, an extremely friendly NPC only in it to hunt monsters as its face, whereas the freedom fighters had Yaevinn, who tries to rob a bank and all your dwarf friends advise keeping away from him. Then again, the former group was just a front for the actual villains of the story, while the latter are just one part of a bigger movement. The Scoie'tal get a better shake in the second game by having an elf leader who's willing to be friends with humans that aren't total shitters, and is on much better terms with your dwarf buddies. Basically it's a group of baddies that has a nice guy who is treated as a useful idiot front and center, while the other side is less villainous in its aims but is led by a tool.

I haven't played Witcher 1 (played Witcher 2 almost to completion) but I am midly curious why some people don't like shades of grey stories. I've run into a similar situation where some players detest Dark Sun because "it's too morally ambiguous" when really it's about the choices you make in a survival situation. Yet these same people have no problem with zombie games that should technically be the same thing: a survival story. Shades of grey stories (if not written by a moron like Dragon Age 2) are more grounded in realism and that makes a story more compelling. The Last of Us is a great example of a morally ambiguous story done well.
