I got an N64 instead of a Playstation because I loved JRPGs and Nintendo told me don't worry about the complete lack of those in the current library because this super cool add on is gonna come along that's built for JRPGs :negative:

Could this be an image from Squaresoft's upcoming title, Final Fantasy 4, currently in development for the Nintendo Ultra 64?!

Whatever magazine I saw that in (EGM?) at least had the decency to mention it was only a tech demo so my hopes didn't get too high off screenshots

Kojima's wacky plots would be insufferable in most games, but he makes games with such strong systems and controls and variety of gameplay. Its like he trapped you in his world and you've gotta listen to his madness in order to get to the boss fights and by the end he's living in your brain, taking up residence.

Memes! Dominant genes! Recessive Gene's! None of this is how it works and none of it makes sense because I read wikipedia on a drug bender and wrote the script based on my vague recollections from that night!

And this is the game I wrote with the plot you CAN understand.

Only when you're 12? That poo poo's still hilarious and awesome. And it also had faking your death with ketchup packets and a fistfight on top of a giant robot. What's not to love?

Liquid’s whole thing was that his understanding of dominant/recessive genes was completely wrong though.

Nah, it was pretty clearly kojima that was wrong. Liquid was just wrong about who got the dominant and recessive genes. The game even ends with a different character going, "huh the dude with weaker recessive genes won. How unexpected."

Are we talking about Big Boss that was on a motorcycle tour of the US? or Big Boss that was a medic on the helicopter where the 14 year old peasant girl who was actually a 27 year old secret agent had a bomb implanted in her stomach that was successfully removed but then she had a bomb in her pussy too and that blew up the helicopter and hurt him so they gave him plastic surgery to look like Big Boss so he could live as him for his whole life?

Only spoilered cause there are 2 people playing the game right now posting itt.

95% of that was MGS5/Ground Zeroes. I actually never played far enough into the PSP one to find out she wasn't "actually" just a 14 year old girl who you use X ray vision on to look at her panties, I heard the 20 something spy stuff on the forums.

yeah but tbh all those characters from ground zeroes and peacewalker seemed so boring that i just ignored them and focused on skullface and stuff. The game was like 60 hours or so and mostly gameplay so i'd forgotten the intro pretty quick. MGSV is the one where the plot matters the least anyway, i'm talking more about the original four.

MGS4 online was designed by people who both did not know better and did not want to pay attention to how anyone else had ever designed a pvp game. This was cool in a lot of cases except the basic premise of shooting people was maddeningly insane. You got invulnerability frames for being shot, but if you got headshot youd just die and your invulnerability lasts long enough to headshot the other guy mag dumping into your chest long, long before he kills you.

5 also had some of the worst goddamn multiplayer I've ever played. basically what you are describing. it had all of this promise with the great controls and visuals, and the possibilities with gadgets and poo poo but it felt like it was made by people who had never played a PVP game in their life. This is basically my experience with any Japanese shooter that puts PVP in though.

titanfall 2 is a really good game that I'm really struggling to enjoy because you can't turn down the sound of bullets and they're real loving loud (and you fire a lot of them) and its very distracting and also I like the kane voice actor so far so I dont want to turn it down :(
