CSI: Hard evidence

I don't think enough people realize that playing MGS4 after the initial stage is like watching mr. Hideo Games masturbate and cum all over himself repeatedly.
People said that he "needed an editor" after the game came out, truth be told he needed a loving bullet.

If you cut out everything after the first 2 stages of MGS4 but the Metal Gear Kaiju Movie Fight and the entire sequence on Mount Snakemore it would be waaaayyyy better

Ehh then the problems with the game being too short on playable content would be even more obvious. I'd take more bad content over none at all.

Uncharted 4 is cool and does some new things with the formula. It's still an Uncharted game though and as such it all feels a little shallow to me. Like, Nathan survives so much ridiculous poo poo that the firefights and clambering never pack much of a punch for me.

I still think The Last of Us was a far more interesting game across the board.

I really liked The Last of Us and I'm also really glad I played on Hard instead of Normal. Normal throws crafting materials and ammo at you like nothing, but Hard, while not actually meaningfully harder on an individual encounter basis, makes you actually ration and make choices. It was actually a really fun game.

Survivor might be even better but I only played through once so I never tried it a step up.

Maybe if the third level wasn't goddamn annoying and plodding bullshit followed up by a turret sequence and was a sequence like the first two areas...

argh the first two levels are so great

I don't care for chapter 3, but aside from the infestation of dwarf gecko Chapter 4's set pieces and nostalgia grabs were a lot of fun and very effective. I have no amazing opinion of the last chapter, it's decent and reaches a pretty good climax with a fun final boss that runs through MGS references and is super cool.

Raiden sucked in MGS4, but not because of the action scenes, those were cool. It's more that he wouldn't stop whining about his liver and LITTLE JACK. Vamp's just sort of whatever in MGS4 tho.

I suppose some people might retroactively apply how cool Raiden was in MGR to MGS4, creating false memories over the godawful real ones.

Armstrong isn't cheap at all, though? I beat him first try on my first time through the game. Nothing he does is cheap.

Oceiros's insta-charge in DS3? Cheap. But Armstrong's fine.
