I would pay good money for a game where everyone reacted to your lack of pants, but the story progressed generally as normal. Like, they're not screaming and running away, but the enemies in cutscenes would just look at you like "what the gently caress, dude" before continuing on.

Or you can equip your rocket fist and just drive a truck through a crowd of patrolling soldiers, leap out and fire your explosive hand at the first guy to scream, hop on a cargo crate and ride it off into the sky before anyone knows what happened.

Well, that sounds more like my thing. Maybe I'll check it out after all, assuming you can skip through the story. The combo of stealth sneakin' and, um, ample dialogue and cutscenes has kept me off of the series in general.

I'm sure I'm messing up the details, but in HZD's dlc Frozen Wilds there's a guy who is collecting holographic records for a barely functional ancient museum and eventually concludes grizzly bear = grizzled bear and it must have been old and weak and maybe the ancients felt sorry for it or something and that's why it's in the collection.

One of my favorite NPCs and (semi-)real world locations in the game.

Fun fact: that place really exists- minus the holograms. It's The Old Faithful Visitor Education Center in Yellowstone.

Most major locations and buildings in Horizon are directly based off a real world counterpart...with some distances compressed.

That's exactly what makes it one of my favorite game worlds, it's like a toybox version of the intermountain west with all sorts of places I've been IRL. I fell in love with the game when I randomly found a place I'd worked at in CO repurposed into a bandit settlement.

I couldn't find much info on that, do we know if it's an HZD-esque "sort of the full US" map or if it's a crazy full-on giant map for Kojima reasons?

vvv Yeah I meant a variation on their compressed, tiny version of real places applied to the full US, but I guess it was ambiguous.

I finally booted up MGSV, starting with the Ground Zeroes section, and I'm enjoying the rapid change from tense stealth thriller as I methodically sneak through a compound to extract prisoners, to Three Stooges-level inanity as I run out of tranq bullets, get spotted, and decide to just jump into a tank and go for broke :hellyeah:

That's wild that I posted a meme about MGSV to you a week ago and you're playing it now. On the 3rd mission in MGSV proper, look around the dropsite for a while for a barking puppy and extract it. It will periodically grow at your base, and eventually you'll be able to take it into the field with you, and upgrade his gear. I beat the entire game with him as my companion, he's awesome.

Haha thanks for the reminder, I hadn't realized it was something I had to go out of my way for. I'll definitely do that since dog adventures are the biggest reason I looked into the game :ninja::dogcited:

I don't know that I find RE4 scarier (even though I like it better), but I dig the grungy, tense/disturbing feeling it sustains through a lot of the game. And I think the occasional outright horrifying stuff sorta stands out a bit more with regards to that.

Getting access to the fulton system in MGSV was probably the biggest step to making its missions a delight to play. Cartoonishly sending screaming folks hurtling into the sky never gets old, I imagine the support crew just getting exhausted trying to keep up with the constant stream of soldiers and animals I'm sending back every time I'm on a mission. Should've just left me in the hospital.

The thing is, some of the people you send back get rolled into that very same support crew. The system creates and then maintains itself, and your job is to keep airlifting bodies.

Oh yeah, I'm happy to have a reason to continue doing it other than dicking around giving them a better life. The laconic "More, huh? OK" responses are easy to imagine as weary of my shenanigans.

Finally got the upgraded stun arm in MGSV.

Jumping out of the chopper in a stylish tuxedo, airlifting a bunch of sheep, then riding a jeep with your dog buddy to a fort where you take out the entire garrison through a combination of lightning bolts and kung fu is probably the most concentrated set of appreciable little things in games I've ever encountered.

Seriously, it's the ultimate dog game, but it's much more than that. I don't give a gently caress about the story in MGSV but drat was that fun game to maneuver through. Snake feels so tactile and deliberate to control that it's just a joy to do the basic stealth abduction loop. I also love how his competency is so complete. There's no mini-game to lockpick, snakes just picks the lock in a short animation that restricts your field of view for a few seconds. There's no give-and-take-and-overcome style melee combat, if you just run at the enemy and hit attack snake will throw them to the ground so brutally they are instantly incapacitated, and it never fails. There is some depth to the melee system but it's almost entirely about how to style on your enemies more intricately before incapacitating them.

Yeah, pretty much - I'm almost disappointed when the actual plot shows up occasionally, but I hardly mind because the core mission gameplay is so fun and thoughtfully designed. It's just as enjoyable when things go right as when it goes to hell and I just sprint around meleeing as many people as possible (interspersed with praising the dog, of course), I wouldn't even care if it was just a mission pack without anything larger tying it together.

I've had my eye on the dog vest & knife for a while, I've just been waiting to find the right specialist (which I finally remembered to look up, and can apparently locate already).

MGSV sounds so amazing every time people talk about it but for me it's just a series of getting killed right away in the first real mission unless I get booted back to the home screen first because my connection sneezed or something. I'll never get to the good stuff. :(

I don't get the connection stuff, I've played at least half of it offline because my router blinks out/I can't be bothered to reconnect after putting the PS4 to sleep.

Aside from that, it's 1000% worth it just to be like me and suck so much in the first mission that it gives you both levels of cheat hats to stop the enemy from seeing you, just die a couple times and it'll take pity. It's fun enough to continue on that way and I can all but promise you'll gradually get good enough to not need that (I did, and I'm convinced nobody is more profoundly Bad At Games than me)

Haha I've managed to play it for like two weeks without even knowing there was any "real" online stuff, it's all just a matter of connecting to collect rewards and challenges and junk from what I've seen, which is fine because it gives you some stuff and is mostly ignorable. I would turn that poo poo off the instant I saw a hint of interactivity with other players if it ever comes up :ninja:

This game never runs out of fun little touches, even occasionally doing badly enough to get the "you suck" hat makes me laugh, it really adds a touch to the morally ambiguous cutscene moments
