The GIG posted:I really like the codecs in this game, your support team feels more like a group of buddies than a bunch of randoms thrown together who you have little reason to care about until halfway through the game. It's a nice touch. I think a lot of it is down to the localisation. MGR is much closer to the first MGS in that regard, the language feels more naturalistic, more like they took the Japanese and adapted it so it sounded right in English, instead of rote translation. Notice how Courtney works her request about saving into conversations. She actually doesn't have a standard clip for that unless you've exhausted all other Codecs for that area with her. Also, "CyborgCourtney coulda saved yo' rear end!" *spazs and spills coffee everywhere* is possibly my favourite of the Codecs I personally saw during my playthrough.

Silentman0 posted:One thing I liked was Armstrong subtly explaining his crazy nanomachine blood. He says that he would been a pro footballer if he hadn't joined the Navy; who ran the Navy up until a few years ago? Yep, the Patriots gave him his crazy nanomachines. I also like that Armstrong's basically the boss that Raiden's approach is dumbest against. Snake would have him beaten before he got to bragging about U of Texas, thanks to it being a sneaking mission and magic anti-nanonmachines. Whereas JACK just tries to punch the poo poo out of him.

Shinjobi posted:Sunny is the friggin best. Any reservations I had about her character in MGS4 have disappeared. My favourite Sunny moment is actually in the last update. Her "NO TIME FOR COUNTDOWN- IGNITION!!!" with the dramatic point skyward just makes me giggle every time.

citybeatnik posted:Considering how seriously we take football in Texas, and looking at how he apparently went to UT here in Austin, it wouldn't surprise me that most of his upgrades were done back when he was a quarterback. Kinda surprised they didn't work in a "mess with the bull, you get the (hook'em) horns!" after the UT bit.

It's actually reasonably arguable that It Has To Be This Way is, in fact, Raiden's theme, not Armstrong's, given the whole lyrics fading when you don't have the sword thing. Plus the Freddie Mercury pose when he catches the sword in the cutscene is ridiculous and amazing.

VagueRant posted:Oh, wow. I didn't notice the little symbol outside of blade mode. That is actually a pretty good tell. Easily lost in the background though. If he just regen'd a little less quick I'd probably be okay with it. I'd say it's deliberately ambiguous, considering Raiden's the one who'd use a blade to 'carve' his path.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:And if you really want to cheese the fight, stay in blade mode after you stop his regenerating. You can get in a ton of hits / damage by just slicing the gently caress out of him while he is down. Works better with the infinite blade mode wig obviously. Chip's No Damage run video actually shows this off, as well as it being the easy way to get the high combo requirement for max score.

Quegg posted:i think the 'this isn't my sword' line is my favorite line in this whole loving game. You can see it coming almost before he starts the speech. And I was so expecting Sunny's run at the end to conclude with a "lightning in the rain" callback when I first finished the game.

Spiritus Nox posted:I love that moment in general. Sam and Raiden are both It also demonstrates why Armstrong would've been a terrible President. How can you trust the fiscal policy of a man that wastes military resources instead of buying a box of Roman candles?

ed out by Armstrong's....everything, but where Raiden gets mad Sam just rolls with it and finds everything about it tremendously amusing.
