I know this isn't MGSV's fault, and I shouldn't really be surprised by it, but there's a loving nude mod for Quiet. And it's the 19th most endorsed mod on nexusmods.com. Porn and Metal Gear are not two great tastes that taste great together! If you need to jerk off, fine. Go watch some porn and come back to the game when you've finished.

I never got to play Legend of Legaia but I had a demo that went right up to the point you saved the Dirt Poor Starting Town and I played that drat thing so many times.

I did the same thing. Only ever got around to playing the full game like...five years ago. It was okay, nothing too outstanding. It was probably great for its time

That's fine, but I'm saying the game is bad at it. I've tried every version of the Sims at some point or another, because I love the premise. It just has so many problems. You have to wait and watch your Sims sleep, the games run like garbage despite being super old, interacting with stuff on a basic level is obnoxious, your Sims basically can't do anything on their own, relationships between Sims make no sense, after all these years they still barely let you do anything other than live in a house and get a job, they're astonishingly badly programmed, it just goes on and on. I really, really want to like the Sims, but every time I try to play it I just end up getting angry at how stupid the game is. The only thing I've ever liked about them is the character creation system (3 had a really good one, for instance).

Sims Medieval was pretty good about letting you do various other poo poo and had you actually involved in your sims job.

Plus you could play as a lunatic murderhobo, so points there.

The Sims: Medieval was great. I loved the parenthood mechanic: your Sim’s kids weren’t playable and stayed as kids forever, but if your Sim died you could choose to age one of them up and have them take over their parent’s role and become playable.

It’s one of those games that I rarely play but when I do I get hooked for weeks.

its not surprising, most of the framework for quiet being eye candy was already in the game. when you get your affinity with her way up and sit in the ACC she crawls around the helicopter, pointing her rear end at you and shakes her titties at you. when shes in her little cage on mother base, she unhooks her top and sunbathes, and lets you watch her while she showers and rubs her body. kojima is known to be a pervert, and im not saying thats a bad thing either. paz' diary is available for listening in MGSV and theres one that graphically details dr strangelove rubbing lotion into paz' pale skin, on her chest and whatnot. im not gonna lie, i loved it, i went from shock and surprise to a huge smile on my face.

for the sake of disclosure, i did download the naked quiet mod and also i download the naked/skimpy costumes for other video games because why not?

Sims 3, especially with all of the expansions, stuffed a whole hell of a lot of weird stuff to get up to into the game. The quality wildly varied, but there was definitely more going on than just the usual rigamarole. 4 sort-of continued the trend but in a much more scattershot way due to the new lovely DLC format.

I mean more that EA isn't going to be investing in a game that doesn't have the massive profits that come from lootboxes, they'll either gently caress the series up or let it wither away.

It's probably still pretty successful given it's history on pc but it can't match unregulated gambling.

I gotta complain about Tomb Raider more.

Despite the wack story (I can appreciate the effort though. It just didn't work out in the end) I'm enjoying the gameplay. It's well paced, nice mixture of platforming, exploration and combat and I haven't been in a video game jungle this fun since MGS3.

And then I got to Paititi. The pacing has just ground to a loving stand still while this bad story plays out. Now Lara is stuck in this outfit that looks stupid on this british white lady. There's side quests for some reason and they're all terrible. You spend SO MUCH TIME HERE. IT's huge for no reason! I remember in one of the pre-release videos they were like "this is the biggest hub ever featured in a tomb raider game!" like dude, that's never been a measure of quality nor a feature anyone has given a poo poo about in this series. Why yall gotta be like this. Why is Uncharted 4 the best Tomb Raider game??? This is just Okami all over again, Clover just done and made the best Zelda game ever by scraping out all the dumb bullshit.

Ya the giant sidequest hub is a little baffling, I don't know if they want me to do all of this stuff or if it will make me stupidly overpowered or both. Even the knife upgrade is optional to buy - so there's an absurd amount of stuff you could conceivably skip entirely. And that's the SECOND sidequest hub after a smaller but still pretty large modern-ish town!

What I find immediately obvious in pacing issues is that I could already have pretty much all the combat upgrades if I chose to focus on them, like poison arrows, traps, lures, flare ammo, stringing up dudes on trees even better, the good ol' broken triple headshot extravaganza, but...there are no fights?!?!
If I do all the challenge tombs, crypts, regular challenges, digging for things, learning languages etc., that's all just exploration, platforming and puzzles. It's great, but...the game wants to focus on combat a lot, judging from the systems it has, but it just never really happened so far.

I'm playing it with my wife and we're sadly separated by a country or two again, so we didn't get farther than a little after Paititi, so I don't know if the pacing just picks up now and it becomes an action-fest like the last one did with fight-jumping-fight-puzzle-fight, but that was really weird. Also I'm super glad for my wife going "so...are we gonna just dick around in Paititi for another play session?" and I was like "haha no I'd never do that and search for every optional poo poo thing!!! Let's go on with the mainquest love!!!!!" *totally would have done that on my own and gotten sick of the game*
