There's a line missing in the last exchange, when 9S is talking about pride in service. Immediately following should be You shut up, too!

Its explicitly our universe after Caim crashed into it in the mid-2000s in Drakengard Ending E and got shot down by a fighter jet over Tokyo. Several Thousand actually. Is the exact passage of time considered a spoiler TDI? ManlyGrunting posted:If changing Hitler into "Fuhrer" and giving him aviator sunglasses in the re-release of Persona 2 is wrong, I don't ever want to be right. That's Beautiful, I cant wait for the dude LPing 1 to get to 2. Update 4 stuff: Man all these metal gears jokes I dont get. Does the series actually have gundams or what and if so why have I never seen an image of them yet know most of the rest of the series? I cant play them myself due to absolutely despising the gameplay, its like an entire gameplay system based off that one ff7 mini game in the shinra tower that always took me 20 minutes as a kid. I love that little moment where 9S yells "BOOOST!".

Phantasy Star Online 2 has taught me, if nothing else, that 9S' outfit looks garbage as any other color than black. Aside from that, it's a surprisingly modest outfit. Not much to harp on.

The demo started with a given date, but not the main game. I don't think we'll see anything that gives an exact date for a while, but I'm not too sure though.

I don't feel like digging up the original two metal gear models from the MSX games, so here are the big ones from the Solid games. This is Metal Gear REX, from MGS1 as it appears in MGS4:  This is the anti-REX, RAY, from MGS2 and also as it appears in MGS4:  This is Metal Gear ZEKE, from Peace Walker, the Metal Gear you get to procure parts for:  And here is Metal Gear Sahelanthropus, from MGSV:

The hunchback design made me think of a warlord titan from 40k at first. There's a few later scenes that just reinforce that view of them.

At first I thought the face was tucked away when you first walk onto the inactive Engels, but no, if you look up his face is right there the whole time. The player isn't likely to be looking that way, though, so it's just a nice bit of warning for the extremely observant.

I'm guessing that Engels is able to use its giant laser beam even while in its stationary form, which is what took out the rest of our doomed squadron. Now, what I wanna know is, why couldn't we have just stayed on top of Engels where it couldn't hit us and bash our way into its brain slowly from above. On the other hand I think I know where those attacking Stubbies are coming from. Engels is a giant walking factory, right? It's probably producing more of them on the fly, like Master Mold.

Honestly it was kind of telegraphed just from the sudden lack of both music and enemies-- the only part that surprised me going through there was the double-bluff where it waits for you to actually get off of it, just long enough for you to say "oh okay I guess that's not going to spring to life directly underneath me" before it starts trying to kill you

Ursine Catastrophe posted:I could have sworn that one of the first opening scenes in N:A was the current year but I don't see it in TDI's first post so I may be misremembering. I think theres a scene immediately after that says the year plot happens, and then I think when you commit suicide in the 2nd best way you get a quick ending flash that mentions the current year. Its been like 2 weeks, so I might be misremembering.

Coincidentally, the same team and producer did Automata

Revengeance is an entirely different (read: better) game compared to the rest of the Metal Gear series. It's about what they all do after everybody realizes giant robots are a boondoggle (cyborg super soldiers, who have samurai duels with lightning swords.)

Plus not everyone is a grown up ex-child soldier super-cyborg with a suped-up body made by a german scientist (a potentially 'mad' scientist) who has a history of defeating metal gear's on foot.... Before he became a cyborg.

I like that the boss' giant buzzsaw arms are actually bucket wheel excavators in addition to the rest of the construction equipment, he's like 1 step away from literally being devastator.

My understanding is that Chip is one of the fan favorite VLPer's around here and I've heard several times that he plans to do this game. I cant personally vouch for his quality due to my aversion to any video longer than 30 seconds.

This is a Platinum game, no doubts about it. Man, is Engels snazzy.wiegieman posted:I mean, it was big terrifying unmanned drone, but that's Raiden's tutorial boss fight. The UMG Ray gets a literal giant laser and it still can't hold a candle to him, even in his outdated combat frame. To be fair, that was a Ray. Raiden had already dismantled about 20 of those in a row, and that was before becoming a breakdancing cyborg ninja. It would be like sending a goomba against Mario, by now it's breakfast. To be even more fair, Rays suck. I mean, they were meant to be specialized Metal Gear hunters, and Metal Gear themselves so they could pursue their targets. Then in 4 you repair and pilot Rex against a Ray and win despite the supposed type disadvantage. Rays SUCK.

Those Marxes aren't actually buzzsaws, but rather bucket-wheel excavators. Apparently surface mining can require vehicles of immense size to efficiently remove coal and ore over large areas, which is why one such excavator (Bagger 293) holds the record for the heaviest land vehicle known to man.

Those don't actually remove the coal. They remove the "overburden", all the dirt and rock above the actual coal, so that you can get at it with more specialized tools.

quote:9S Concept Art – Three belts on each of your boots. You androids grab those shoes from the Tetsuya Nomura Kingdom Hearts surplus supply? As someone who used to work for a "fast fashion" shoe store, multiple buckles/belts on boots are apparently quite trendy, judging by the number of our stock with them. 'Course it was also primarily a women's shoe store, but hey, maybe the androids are cheap and 9S outfits at the same store as 2B. He just managed to pick 'em up the one day they had flats in stock.
