This is correct iirc, that's why him and Ocelot have the one of us will have to kill the other conversation. He didn't know, and he was devastated to find out.

Working with Diamond Dogs must be great. You get your 3 meals, you get your room and board covered, and best of all your boss is the one going out and doing poo poo! Sure you might have to blow up a shack with flashlights in it every now and then, but looks like you get a lot of downtime.

You have had a long and distinguished military career. Your skills in multiple areas of combat and field operations are excellent. You have experience in many theaters and many situations. You have been selected to join this elite military unit because you are the best of the best. Now take care of this lizard I found.

Somewhere out there there's an alternate timeline where everything else is the same but the sole mission of Outer Heaven is just to collect one of every animal on earth so Big Boss can eat it. And I wish that that's the timeline we got to play.

Wait, you mean Outer Heaven isn't just a corporation staffed by soldiers that Venom Snake aggressively headhunted away from his competition? I ask this as someone who quit playing MGSV after the tutorial because holy hell, 45 minutes for a glorified tutorial is too drat long.

MGSV has such a strange arc where I feel like I spent an hour or two on a lot of the earliest missions, slowly got quicker and better as I got a better sense for enemy AI and abilities, got better still as my buddies improved, and then I got the rocket fist and wormhole fulton and all that other poo poo didn’t matter anymore because I could have my dog bark to lure some enemies over and then rocket punch them in the dick and/or rear end from around the corner before I sent them home through space-time

See, that's why I loved it. The best open world games need to have a tipping point where it goes "Yep, you're a god now. Here's a ton of fun toys, go nuts."

It has so many great toys later on, but they can be kinda obfuscated by the upgrade tree structure. Like, I did my last dozen or so side ops having a blast just sneaking around with the teleport arm and wormhole fulton, two things I never even noticed as possibilities on my first playthrough.

Intended to give Control a quick look yesterday and just got completely sucked in to a second playthrough. drat that game is so good despite its flaws, just the feeling of power you get unlocking your skills pretty early on is amazing. I'm doing a million times better than my first confused playthrough, especially having a better idea of the map and what skill tree to focus on based on my play style (unlock every launch upgrade ASAP for the early game, imo). I just beat Salvador in one go, the boss that took me like two days the first time around, and unlocks the amazing levitate power. I guess this time around, my favorite little thing is me

Holy poo poo. I think GTA 3 made a subtle joke through it's mechanics. On the way to get a hidden package I ran over a homeless looking guy, only him I was careful not to he just jumped under the car. When I came back out of the alley, like 20 cash icons had appeared where he was. It was a loaded Hobo.

Finished replaying Control, man it goes by fast when you go in actually know what you're doing. But it's so drat good, absolutely GOTY. For all that the combat gameplay is awesome, one of my favorite things I'd forgot about is right near the end. You do your big task, then game over, credits roll - but then they become weird and corrupted, and you "wake up" as an office drone doing meaningless repetitive tasks at a weird static version of the Bureau, looping through the same things as you realize how to break yourself out of it and get to the true revelations & ending. Just great, this game manages to hit some perfect notes in both gameplay and setting/worldbuilding.

I'm kind of liking that GTA 3's missions seem to be growing in complexity as the islands go on. The first islands "Kill a bunch of targets" missions were generally a few standard swarms of enemies in certain areas, or a few cars to shake up. The first one on the second island has more interesting enemy placements, like the guys on the island in the park and the guys on the balconies on one side of the hotel across from the casino. Even the first Asuka mission spans both islands as you return to the first one to kill the Mafia Don.

Just great, this game manages to hit some perfect notes in both gameplay and setting/worldbuilding. It's a great moment thematically because Jesse has spent all this time building up her powers, taking charge and generally being a badass in this weird world where everything finally makes sense to her, then it reverts to that mundane setting where she's another office drone performing repetitive tasks. But this part is also an illusion, and you as the player can break free from it without performing any of the tasks if you just beeline right to the director's office. Jesse realizes that she can essentially use her own memories to violate causality and put herself back in charge at the Bureau. It's just a very cool moment of Jungian synchronicity at work without having to come out and describe what's happening.

It's kinda funny how much Rise of the Tomb Raider resembles Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Both Indy and Lara are after a source of eternal life. They both realize that their obsession with uncover artifacts is ruining their lives. Elsa and Ana's betrayal is revealed in almost exactly the same way (the villain threatens to kill them only to reveal that it was all an act). The source of eternal life is guarded by an ancient person in both game and movie. In the movie Indy's father is shot and Indy has to traverse a dangerous path to uncover the source, in the game Lara's friend is stabbed and Lara has to traverse a dangerous path to uncover the source. Both game and movie has a battle between the villains and the guardians of the source.
