I didn't like mgs5 when i first played it but i was kinda expecting a more zany story orientated thing and then i got that with Death Stranding so be careful what you wish for

Both games are a real showcase of Kojima's strengths and weaknesses. At their best they are brilliant and at their worst they are disastrous. His staff is consistently very talented though.

Hey this, uh, Bloodborne game is hard. Guess that's why I've put off playing it for three years after I stole it from my brother.

I played through MGS1-4 and 5 doesn’t feel anything like a MGS game, and what’s even weirder is when you talk to fans who really LIKED MGSV they even concede that it is radically different from the rest of the series and then the plot is so hosed up and bad that people don’t even think of V as being related to the series at large, lmao, because basically nothing of consequence happens But Revengance is the best game in the series anywho. I played through the incredible intro sequence and just couldn’t believe how boring and brown the game got, like immediately.

MGSV felt a lot like MGS3 to me tbh. The subsistence missions in V (both of them  ) are like the best pieces of games I’ve ever played. The forest battle with the five snipers before you rescue the old dude is totally MGS3-style.

I wasnt expecting that to happen but I guess I probably should have. I was only trying to max out her confidant whoops It’s possible to max out a lady’s confidant in PS5 and stay in the friend-zone but you have to choose a very specific dialogue option and it isn’t exactly clear. In true Anime fashion every single female character, including the ones much older than you, wants to date the male lead and you have to work hard to keep them in the friend zone.

Akuma posted:It's a huge budget prequel to resolve a plot hole from the first two Metal Gear games that most people probably aren't even aware was there. It's so unnecessary and ridiculous, I kind of love it. It would be like if Tolkien had lived to be 100, became bitter about the success of Lord of the Rings and pressured into pushing out sequel after sequel by his publisher, and finally ended up writing a book that's longer than LOTR and even more meandering, but details what exactly the eagles were doing that made them not show up until the end of the story.

It does make the game longer, but length isn't really a problem unless the game gets boring, which it didn't for me. And make sure you bring the appropriate Persona for the Confidant you're going to spend time with, that makes a huge difference over the course of the game.

Persona 5 has some really bad, cingeworthy scenes involving every character being horny and perverted to Ann. And let's not even talk about how there are literally only three LGBTQ characters (again im only 65 hours in..) and two of them are just awful stereotypes (and apparently this is DOWNLPLAYED in the Royal version...holy poo poo) and the other is handled a bit better but still gets a cross-dressing joke. It's just bad especially in this day and age. The FF7 remake took what was originally a cross-dressing joke against Gay people and turned into into a very positive, and empowering scene. There's no reason the Persona 5 devs couldn't do the same in Royal. With that said, it's not a problem restricted to Persona 5 and it is a hhhuuuugeeee issue in Anime in general. Thankfully, rest of the game is so goddamn good you can overlook these issues, for the most part. Solaris 2.0 fucked around with this message at 17:59 on Feb 10, 2021 |

Revengeance is an excellent game, but it really isn't a Metal Gear Solid game by any definition, no - both in name and in gameplay.

Yeah, I don't really have the ability to comment on that properly, but it's a really good game from a gameplay and art direction standpoint, and the story is often charming and funny. The main character is an obnoxious fuckup, and the writing has some oldschool cultural prejudices of japanese society written in there.

There's straight up trans panic "humor" riddled throughout the game, and Full Body turns it up to a billion with a storyline I just can't describe, you have to look it up. It's obnoxious because Hashino doubled down on everything wrong with the first one's narrative after quite a bit of pushback. The story is otherwise charming and the game is fun as heck, which makes the whole thing very conflicting to play.

I thought Rin was a cool character and a great addition to the story, but that's prolly not the point you're making yeah. I'll admit I don't pay as much attention to these things as I should. I'm pretty sure most media that overtly references sexuality in Japan could qualify under "panic", even back to the days of Ranma 1/2 or whathaveyou. But then again there are huge swaths of america that are sexually repressed and regressive, too. I'm glad the zoomers are more open to talking about and addressing those issues tho.
