honestly i felt like Tomb Raider 2013 was just better than Metal Gear Solid 3, i preferred the stealth and melee and thought it had a tighter narrative and better gameplay

Eurogamer had a good set of retrospectives/deconstructions on the Metal Gear Solid series around the release of Phantom Pain: Metal Gear Solid: The first modern video game Metal Gear Solid 2: The first postmodern video game Metal Gear Solid 3: From Russia with love Metal Gear Solid 4: Rinse, repeat, resolve?

I'm pretty sure every cutscene in MGSV can be paused and/or skipped. On PS4 you just press the touchpad thing. As for 4 souring on me, it was amazing the first time I played it because I did it  as gently caress in one sitting, but the interminable cutscenes and relatively minimal gameplay really stands out when I try to replay it sober.

I got bored with Witcher 3 very quickly but played SP MGSV for 140 hours. The difference is that, while repetitive, the game play of MGSV is extremely good. Also the enemy AI actually puts up a fight, sends for reinforcements from actual locations in the world, and switch gear depending on your play style. It's great.

I'm looking for recommendations for my new-to-me Vita. I've barely played Playstation games since my friend had a PS2 when we were kids. I don't like traditional RPGs or anime much, but I do like indie games, and I only have a MacBook (and I don't use VINE) so I figure I'm missing out on some that may've come out on Windows and the Playstation Store. I like Militia on Steam, Battle of Polytopia and Hoplite on iOS, and Tripeaks Solitaire, in case there's anything like Solitairica that uses solitaire mechanics to a different end. I also liked Orcs and Elves on the DS - are there any decent and relatively accessible first-person dungeon crawlers on the PS store? In short, I like games that put RNG to good use and can usually be played in quick rounds, and there's a lot of things that most gamers think "well everybody's played that" that I probably missed. What should I download on my Vita?

Haha, I already got that reaction once. I traded a 3DSXL that I hadn't played in months for it. Owning a console that doesn't have many games that fit my interests isn't quite a catastrophe. The only thing I've bought for it thus far is Tetris Ultimate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'll check out Spelunky.

It's not indie, and you just missed a sale on it, but I've been having some fun with the PSP Classic ZHP Unlosing Ranger Versus Dark Evil Death Man. Title may not be right, but it's a roguelike with a quirky NIS story about being a new superhero.

Most of the good Rogueish games on Vita are also on other things but it's still nice to have them portable. I mean obvious ones would be Binding of Isaac, Rogue Legacy, Downwell, Flame Over and the mentioned Spelunky.

You missed a sale on Downwell which is only 5 bucks not on sale but it's a lot like Spelunky in terms of randomly generated stuff. It's a lot of fun.

I've always loved the MGS series for the fact that the games would routinely break the fourth wall because they don't give a gently caress. "Check the back of the case, Snake!" Etc. I love all the weird hidden crap that you'd never find without a secrets guide. I even loved MGS4 because the Laughing Octopus fight was amazing and everything I'd hoped the Decoy Octopus fight in MGS1 would be. I always felt ripped off that after all the Decoy Octopus buildup you never got to fight him. As for Demon's Souls, it's got some dated mechanics but it's still my favorite game of the series. It has the most interesting, creative, and memorable bosses in the entire series even if some of them have gimmicks. None of the bosses in the other games stand out as much as Phalanx, Dragon God, Fool's Idol, Old Monk, Adjudicator, Old Hero, Maiden Astrea, Old King Doran, and False King Allant. Edit: And the Tower of Latria is still terrifying. ...! fucked around with this message at 23:58 on Nov 2, 2016 |

[unwarranted MGS Twitch plug] If anyone is a serious MGS insane person you should really follow https://www.twitch.tv/outerheaven Probably the best channel on Twitch. It is three streamers who play solely Metal Gear games (plus now recently other Kojima stuff like Policenauts and Snatcher which by the way are both amazing), and constantly do marathons that last up to a week at times. Amazing community (Twitch chat is actually good) and phenomenal in depth commentary on the games. I guarantee you will see things you never knew existed in the games the first time you watch one of their in depth runs. Right now it is hosting one of the streamers playing Legend of Dragoon on his personal channel (lol), but definitely check back. [/unwarranted MGS Twitch plug]

I always felt ripped off that after all the Decoy Octopus buildup you never got to fight him. I love the demons bosses for a variety of reasons, but I can see why some find them lacking compared to latter design. Demons bosses rely on gimmicks moreso than other bosses in other games, which can make individual first time encounters very fun in an almost platformer style. But it makes repeat plays not as cool because your personal playstyle at the moment doesn't matter as much. It's probably a result of the structure of the game where you are able to do any boss in any order, so they had to be more agnostic to a progression. It's still a unique game compared to where the series went so it's definitely worth revisiting. Also even though they made 100+ hours of games that takes place in castles before and since, Boleteria still feels like the best they ever did it.
