MGS3 is incredible and it's ok to be a dork about how good it is. It's full of incredible little things that I miss even in the other MGS games. I need another game where I can eat most of the environment and have conversations with my radio team about how it tastes.

Starcom: Nexus is an amazing space game in its own right, like a heavily updated re-imagining of Star Control 2. Lots of flying around star systems, fighting hostile aliens, talking to friendly aliens, doing quests, researching upgrades, and trying to figure out a big mystery. The little thing I want to appreciate is that the writing has a subtle sense of humor to it. For example, on one planet there's an abandoned military base. You can investigate the crew quarters and learn about how they used advanced synthetic materials even in their textiles, or go to the command center and get some ominous hints about their mission. When you go to the armory, the game says "the away team had to spend several hours slowly cutting through a neutronium-reinforced door to get into the armory. Once inside, it was clear that whoever was here before, they stripped it bare before leaving. Oh well, at least you got some neutronium from the door." (Neutronium is one of the standard resources in the game, and the door gives you most of an armor module's worth)

Kojima is a huge dork, so meeting his games at that level is the best way to experience them.

Isn't the sequel coming out soon?

Every now and then in Pacific Drive, the Zone helps you out. A few times I've been driving around and see a burst of light, then something appear near me. An anchor, a can of repair glue, at one point I was just walking around the area and four summer tires fell from the sky in front of me. It's always jarring and confusing but then pretty nice to see.

Man, Pacific Drive is really marketed as a survival sort of game with pseudo-horror elements, but there are some vibes to the game when you're working on your car in the garage, crafting new parts for it, looking over blueprints while it rains gently outside and Holy Mystery is playing over the large radio in the corner and echoing through the building: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eh9YAWkQh34 Edit: Or hearing this song muffled from your car as you walk around the area picking up materials and avoiding anomalies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3MACUEAimI I've found a soundtrack playlist for the game and man, I'm going to have to add them to my listening rotation for sure. Morpheus has a new favorite as of 03:45 on Mar 7, 2024 |

Finally found all the stars in Talos Principle 2 without looking anything up, though I had to search around the Anthropic Hills for something like three hours stretched across multiple sessions before I stumbled across what I needed for the last one. Wasn't even that well hidden in retrospect, I had just run past it over and over while scouring every inch of the island besides that one specific place. Once you deliver all the stars to the building next to the Megastructure you get a vision from Athena hinting that Talos 3, assuming they ever make it, might be centered around what's basically the Eye of the Universe from Outer Wilds. Some kind of spacial anomaly out in the void billions of light years away which defies all known physics, appears to have existed since before the start of the Universe, and is speculated to be waiting for a conscious entity to find it. Things I did before finding that final star: - Found an easter egg (the monilith from 2001: A Space Odyssey hidden in a small cave), was disappointed when it didn't have what I'd been looking for - Found another easter egg (A movie theater built into the side of the mountain), was disappointed again when it didn't have when I was looking for - Tried to direct lasers into the eyes of every statue on the island thinking maybe one was hiding a laser receiver - Zoomed in on every bit of scenery beyond the edges of the map looking for a laser prism or something else to interact with - Ran to the big laser tower and looked around thinking maybe they hid what I needed in there (they didn't) - Platformed around the island so much that I found a presumably unintended way of completing one of the earlier puzzles by jumping directly into the exit from the side of the mountain above - Solved every remaining normal and lost puzzle in the game thinking that maybe what I needed was hidden in the golden puzzle area (it wasn't) Nothing left now but finishing the gold puzzles. Done 4/12 so far but they really cranked up the difficulty on a lot of them, might take a while.

I groaned when Remake character Kyrie turned back up in Rebirth in even more infuriating mode. However, her new awesome theme song that sounds a bit like Hey Mickey! has completely turned me around on her https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLFlZRMOUwk Now a Kyrie stan.

The soundtrack in rebirth is simply outstanding, one of the best I've seen in video games, especially as a fan of the original one. There's an insane amount of remixes, mashups and one off songs. There's songs playing for one mission, battle remixes of that one, there's a scene where the original theme of a place is mixed with the theme of a character, depending who's with you, there's the insanely catchy card game song, metal and techno remixes of the battle theme. It just keeps going, it's a helluva feat. And yes, there's the annoyingly catchy Kyrie song that made up for her entire arc

haveblue posted:Smh if you don't think "I will defend this dog with my life" the instant a dog appears in a video game I mean the context is that a small but valuable package needs to be transported across the map. Rather than give it to me, the trusty adventurer, it's tied to a dog's collar and he's left to run miles through a monster-infested wasteland. But the song makes it okay. Bow wow wow bow wow wow.

The "bow wow wow" bit even comes from the Stamp propaganda song in the first one.

I'm playing the FFVII remaster (not the remake) from a few years back and it has a couple really great QoL things. Specifically they added -A universal fast mode where everything except cutscenes are x3 -A toggle for invisible battles where you can just shut them off -What is basically God mode, where you always have full HP (but can still die if you get hit for more than what you have) and limit breaks And all three of these can be toggled on and off with a button press midgame, and don't affect achievements or any other part of that game. It's wonderful

 I can't get over MGS3's totally believable lab infiltration outfit for Dr. Snake, PhD. It has glasses you can push up using the action button so you know he's a legit scientist, even if he still uses his regular movement animations, which can best be described as "skulking"

Healers in Unicorn Overlord will use their heal ability if you kill the enemy before they use it normally. Always nice when an RPG, especially ones where you can't use the heal abilities outside of combat, don't punish you by immediately ending the combat worse than if you let the enemy live just slightly longer for the heal cast to go off.

Of course it fools the guards but not the actual scientists. I wonder if Hitman got ideas from it with the social stealth aspects, since it works a lot like disguises do in the trilogy, where people who just see the lab coat are fooled but not the ones who actually know their co workers.

Oh yeah, that was an extremely absurd detail juxtaposed against an otherwise serious part of the game, so very on-brand for Kojima. Also the only weapons you could use with it on are your most James Bond-rear end gadgets.

I wouldn't be surprised. It's a pretty good swerve from a simple situation, it's taken me off guard both times I've played the game. "How do you do, fellow scientists"
