"The game has a great checkpoint system"

Joe and I will have to agree to disagree on that fact. Nothing like trying to squeeze out a mission before work then trying to save and quit just to realize not only is there no option for that, but a lot of the checkpoints take you all the way to the beginning of the mission.

I don't know if I would call it great, but it's definitely better than having the autosave system screw you over by forcing you to restart in the middle of an alert you didn't want to have happen, for example. It's designed to prevent inescapable fail states, and I think that's a good thing in this game. My only problem with it is that the game doesn't clarify how saving works, so you have to rely on outside information to understand how things get saved.

If you are playing on PS4 you can hit the proper Pause menu and then put your console on Rest Mode. It will pick right back up when you turn it back on.

Yeah Brad's fans are pretty awful, almost as bad as Spoony's fanbase (when it was at its peak) and RLM's fans (their forums are pretty annoying, especially the elitism they got going in the video game thread)

Yeah, no, not in my experience. One time as I was exiting a base, I was caught by an attack helicopter, which then ripped me to shreds, forcing me to restart at the last checkpoint... directly beneath the helicopter, which instantly sees me and opens fire again. Died over 12 times from restarting in the line of fire before I finally manged to run away to safety and get a new checkpoint...

For the most part the checkpoint system works fine, but it's definitely not foolproof and can screw you over.

I find this hilarious. Because he's said, more than once, "I'm sure it's a great movie. I just don't want to see it."

To which thousands of rabid fans will pounce on him, ranging from "You just don't understand let me explain" to "you're wrong" to "spoonh8s evrything!"

So what started as a perfectly reasonable position ("I'm not making any comment on the movie, or it's makes, or it's fans. I just don't want to see it.") becomes, without changing a single word of the position, the best trollbait in existence. He doesn't have to say or do anything different, and it'll stir up froth in thousands. The effort : reaction ratio is off the chart.

And the reactions are hilarious. Such as the above quoted.

Eh I'll admit it's some hyperbole on my part but there's some basis to the whole "Spoony hates everything" when he goes on for literally three hours about Spider-Man 2.

I'm not even the biggest Spoony fan and really just skim his Twitter on occasion but just how mule-headed and vicious towards his fans he can get does make me snap back a bit sometimes.

My only problem with it is that the game doesn't clarify how saving works, so you have to rely on outside information to understand how things get saved.

The game doesn't clarify a lot of things that are super-handy to know. You have to stumble into the cardboard box fast travel points just to find out that's a thing, the game never mentions "oh yeah you can just pause and go "return to ACC" and you keep everything you extracted", hell I'm still not clear on if you keep all the stuff you got during a mission if you abort halfway though. I accidentally aborted once by trying to exfiltrate by doing the box fast travel and the messages implied that I got all the stuff I extracted, but there's basically nothing to give me a definitive answer in the game.

That game is super great but it's definitely been one of many recent examples of video game people not being able to comprehend very good things having very bad things worth criticizing in them. On the threads I actually regularly browse, the discourse has been very reasonable and balanced (common sentiment being "story lukewarm, game very very good with caveats" with plenty to back up both opinions) but holy poo poo the comments elsewhere have just gone full black'n'white love-it-or-burn-it-at-the-stake.

Case-in-point, Super Bunnyhop made a critical video on Phantom Pain. I personally think he got into another overbearingly-cynical headspace and I'm generally disappointed with it in comparison to his Ground Zeroes critique, where he still flogged the game's story for its glaring flaws but seemed to give it a lot more thought. But even this newest video's worst points are nothing compared to the comments.

Dunno if anyone's posted it yet but here it is for those who haven't seen:

For future reference you keep everything that you extract before the last autosave. A quick example is the beginning of Episode 12, there's a cave with 2 men, a bunch of materials, and an intel file. The intel file triggers an autosave. If you are in need of the materials in there towards the back section of the game, you can drop in, kill the men, get the materials, grab the intel file, and then restart.

no that will be the archage thread in MMO HMO where the Regulars rebelled because the mods permabanned their top player for being a pedophile and clam it's a plot by imp zone and GBS to ruin their game. the kicker is the guild know the whole time he was a pedo and try to be hush hush about it because he was good at playing the game.

Why the gently caress would anyone ever want to post in ADTRW. If I want hilarious FYAD-style ironic self-loathing from anime fans, I can just see that on twitter where I can at least have a sincere conversation once everyone gets tired of the all lower-caps "anime is trash and we are garbage" posturing substitution for actual jokes.

That was Old ADTRW. When Zorak quit the irony went a level deeper, to ironic embrace of 4chan anime culture, to the point where half the posters now have matching Monogatari avatars. Or maybe not ironic? I don't know if anyone there can even tell anymore

I am sad the adult swim/toonami thread got moved there from TVIV because they talk more about the anime block then the Sunday night block. it was funny watching folks get their reaction to SAO or the final episode of Garran Lagan.

I suspecting it going to be a trap and the main mods will straight up ban the top posters.
