The in-story excuse is that Zeke's cockpit apparently gets so hot that it has to be flooded with coolant, so presumably she didn't want to ruin her clothes.

No, the water is used as a shock absorber, so she doesn't get pulverized from zeke stomping around, firing jump jets, and getting hit by rockets every six seconds. Since Zeke was originally supposed to be run by an AI, coolant is probably the one thing it's already got down pat.

Wait there is a lady who breathes through her skin and that's why she has to be naked? What was that splashing around in the goddamn rain horseshit scene that ocelot mod did? Wouldn't she drown?

And one of the dlc alternate costumes for her is to paint her up? She breathes through her skin like the lady in goldfinger who died when her skin was painted up, and one of the alternate costumes is to paint her skin up?

e: Also lmao: goldfinger. Sean connery saying "caberet dancers leave a small patch of skin to breathe through but this sick bastard completely painted her in gold paint!" as explanation for why he woke up next to a dead hooker. Like people back in the 60s knew you could kill someone by putting a pillow over their face right? It's okay for ancient egyptians to think the brain was useless filler not even worth its own canopic jar on the trip to the afterlife but people in the 1960s generally knew we breathed through our mouthes/noses right? That scene just baffles me. Why didn't she go shower after goldfinger left. Why didn't bond wake up while all these men were holding her down and painting her until she died? Why not break her neck and paint the corpse I mean it's the same exact message.

That's the surface level reading for why she's naked. She drinks water through her skin too so she's ok for small bursts like that, but she'd drown if she went swimming. Her alt costumes aren't DLC, they're in the game and it's just a silly costume, it doesn't really mean anything. You can unlock a Solid Snake skin in MGSV for Big Boss, does that mean Big Boss is really Solid Snake? There's a Raiden and a Gray Fox skin too, is Big Boss Raiden or Frank Jaeger?

Dead Rising 2 does a great job making survivors fairly competent and autonomous compared to DR1, to the point where you can trivialize almost any boss battle by having a few survivors equipped with machine guns backing you up, but due to console memory limitations the game will never spawn more than 8 in the game world at a time so you can unknowingly miss out on a good number of side quests if you have a gang of survivors in tow. For example, if you have 5 people following you then a group of four people you can rescue simply won't spawn at all until you drop someone off at the safe room to bring the number back down below 8.

I can get limiting you to 8 followers for balance reasons but on PC where memory isn't an issue it would be nice if they would at least appear and then refuse to join so you know where to find them later.

I remember reading something about how everyone is absurdly ripped as a result of how the developers modeled everything in the Unreal Engine. Something about how the game is set up around the physique of the generic thugs you'll be seeing on a regular basis, so other important characters like Gordon and Strange end up looking like body builders as well.

To be fair that's exactly how they look in the comics most of the time too. Even in Batman TAS Hugo Strange had shoulders like a linebacker.

Also I mean, the women and Joker are not buff so it's not an engine thing just the art direction they went with.

What he probably confused it with was the fact that unreal engine 3 stuff tends to look like its covered in a translucent slime which unless you adjust the default settings for the lighting, it tends to do that.

Hah, it reminds me of how in Dragonball Z all of the male characters would simultaneously fluctuate in muscle mass depending on the plot. The climaxes of arcs would always be PEAK BULK, but in the comedy moments everyone would suddenly lose their gains.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Dark Knight

So I'm playing all the metal gears for the first time. Currently on 3, it's been great so far. Except shooting any big gun like the ak47 seems impossible. I have no idea how the aiming works with the 360 controller. I've been using pistols for the most part because I can actually aim and shoot with them. Google seems to show that I have to lightly press the attack button but I'm 99% sure that feature is gone with a 360 controller. When out of ammo for pistols I have to use thermal goggles to aim with rifles since the goggles give you a handy crosshair.

Anybody know wtf I'm doing wrong? I had the same issue in 2 but I never actually needed to use the rifles in that one.

Remember the basics of CQC.
EDIT: Quick thing I've suddenly realized about MGSV. Transferring over your ground zeroes save doesn't transfer over any of the tapes or anything from that game, which I would have thought would have been a no brainer. So sadly no Here's To You as far as I can tell. Which is a shame because I like that song.

There should be something in the control layout screen labelled as 'gun safety' or something. Since the 360 controller doesn't have pressure-sensitive face buttons like the PS2&3 controllers they had to take that function and put it on another button.

Also there is an iron sights button in MGS3.

EDIT: Iron sights are either L3 or R3 (or what ever the stick buttons are called on Xbox)

This all stems from the fact that Japan has super hosed up views about women and age. They place a high value on youth, which is why 90% of animes are about high school kids, and even more than in the west, a woman's attractiveness is based on how young she looks. Or acts. It's a thing where grown women talk like toddlers to attract men. And a woman is considered 'too old' at 25.

None of which directly relates to the above, I know, but I'm just trying to emphasize that Japan thinks that the younger the better, and when your entire country is an echo chamber for two hundred years, you start taking things in bad directions.
