So uh, I bought a new HDD for my PS4 and all but it won't take? I'm getting CE-34335-8 if that helps any.

Like, I can't tell if the HDD is even in the right plugs and all, despite it being a Seagate Game Drive for PlayStation AND the same size as the old one. What do I do.

did you install the correct firmware? there are 2 and one is for when you completely swap a hdd

What's the make/model of the drive?

Are you trying to use it internal or external?

Internal. It's a Seagate Game Drive for Playstation, PN: 9JB1AB-570, SN: WSZ41AAS. Not sure where the make/model numbers are if any.

MGSV mastered the feel of stealth mechanics like no other game has (name one?) but the whole "you can attach a BALLOON to a SHEEP" bullet-point box copy thing only goes so far.

I love MGS V. I imported my mp3 library, then just ran around the game world, taking out bases in dozens of different ways, picked herbs, came up with new ways to do team take downs together with my dog-wolf, petting my dog-wolf, unlocking Quiet's only good outfit, bonding with Quiet by putting hundreds of people to sleep together, listening to Code Talker's insane tapes while kidnapping sheep or knocking them out with my fists. It's a wonderful game.

Also, Huey is the greatest slime ball ever put in a game. There is nothing redeemable about him and I loved hating him. I haven't disliked a character like that in a long time. His VA did such a good job.

I am looking forward to it, just started V. (I just realized V works both as the title number and main character).

Intro was a bit much for me, but I get that's one of the few instances of that sort of thing in this game.

I kind of appreciated the emptiness of the world, since both the areas are places were few people live. There's lots of space to either set up for missions or just gently caress around without worrying about tripping over things.

The Kazburger tape series is nuts in the best way.

i enjoyed mgsv a lot, but boy is there a lot of empty space and (near the end of the game) empty time. queue up a lot of tapes and learn to enjoy scenic Afghanistan.

I heard the new ghost recon is like MGSV is that tru

Don't have a silencer pistol, and once a base is in alert it takes too long to go back to normal. So taking a base is kind of this: you start silently, and when somebody gently caress it, you go full rambo.

Is more a mix of MGS with GTA, but it feel more GTA than MGS. Ghost Recon Wildlands is a fun game, but is goofy has hell, can't be taken seriously for a straight minute. the map is also kind of continent-size instead of country-size.

Cockpit and hood views on racing games are better with a controller than keyboard and mouse. Though racing wheel is the best.

VR experience is better with motion controllers (and normal controllers even) than kb/mouse

It's funny, because I read your post in this thread, scrolled up to see what you were talking about, and though "huh, I bet that's in the wrong thread". And sure enough, when I went back to the other thread, I saw people talking about controls and I was like "yep, that's where they meant to post it".

So the end result is that I understood you perfectly.

I really like this thread because I don't have a gaming PC, and this thread helps keep me informed about games coming that I will be able to play. If a game gets talked about in the games chat thread AND this thread, I know it's okay for me to look into it and get excited about it.

I didn't really like MGS5 all that much, the open-world put me off, the drip-fed narrative put me off. I thought they base-building stuff was real neat, I dunno it felt a bit strange playing it on the PC as well, really would like to give that game a go again, bout time I replayed the whole series.

Same. Really liked a lot of the control/technical side...too bad I came for a MGS game so the thing is basically garbo to me.

I am really curious what Death Stranding ends up being. Hope it's as mechanically intricate as his best games. The wacko stories are fun, but not when they upstage stellar gameplay.

Horizon had some well developed stealth and was mechanically on point for an open world game. Kojima studios is essentially a creative agency. This collaboration is more than 'using the engine' as reported by some outlets. Timing was perfect.

People who played it at E3 said that it was good and fun and great coop, but Konami didn't let any footage or pictures or anything out, so that's basically the worst sign ever. "We brought our game to E3 but we don't want anyone to see it". Okay.

I would actually be fine with a blatant MGS5 cash crab if it was just MGS5 but with new places to infiltrate and not whatever survive is supposed to be.

gently caress, I don't even need/want a story. Just give me MGS5 gameplay with new stuff.

idk what you need explained to you here. a game doesn't have to be the best one for people to like it and some people like different things from you. what more do you need to know?

because to me I interpret it as people playing a sub-par game to save $30. That just seems silly for something you're gonna spend hundreds of hours on. You can spend the cash to unlock the characters, or just skip a combo meal at McDonalds and get Overwatch 🤔

Yeah don't get me wrong if you enjoy it and maybe even more than Overwatch then more power to you. 🤷🏽‍♀️ F2P is only really beneficial if you want to play a game with your friend who never has any money to spend

Let's be fair there, it was a launch title. If there ever was a time to get away with a full retail price, that was it.

It was a new game and that's the standard new game price so. It's not like Capcom wanted $40 for a bad port of HD Street Fighter 2 or Nicalis wanted $30 for Cave Story or anything....
