You'd think someone who's career has revolved around using guns would be just a tad more... shook over losing his shooting arm/hand? But nope. Ocelot is just that smooth a dude to not let it get to him while making a hasty escape. I suppose he does have the livelihood of torture to fall back on.

What are the conditions to get the time bomb? I feel like I've gotten it each time I've played whether surviving the torture or not.Choco1980 posted:Also those wolves are crazy. One time I went through during a point after this in the game and didn't do any measures to make them like me, so they were all riled up, and I decided to take a breather outside the crawlspace. They were going nuts for me on the other side. Then I hear this scraping sound, and look in first person, and one wolf is actually crawling very slowly under the rocks, scraping against them to get to me in his rage, and made it through to fight me.

Great stage name, questionable candy, creepy guy. VR Missions may be full of pretty much nothing but reused assets from MGS proper but they made a drat good game out of it. They waste no time in shaking up stage layouts you've gone through but with more/different obstacles. Looking forward to seeing some of the crazier stages I never managed to unlock!

Some of these stages look really boring/obnoxious... and that's in practice mode.

Still have no idea what "NG Selection" means though. Also after that epic DBZ battle, I'm hoping for a Super Solid Bros. Brawl episode when the time comes!

Grabbed my copy of the game off the shelf tonight and quickly learned my game save has gone sorely missing. It took me twice as long to clear everything you did in the first episode and I had the advantage of not being drunk.  I'll just wait on your videos to see what "Blooper" mode is all about. And to answer Graces question from an episode or so back, I watched the credits and Kojima is credited as a Genolla Monster  , Planning/Game Design, Producer, and Director.

Snake got abducted by a ufo? What is this game? I'm feeling now that it's definitely worth grinding through the weapon missions to unlock puzzle & variety after all! Some of the failure conditions seen seem pretty strict but it's balanced by how short the missions generally are. Except for the few really dickish ones you're not losing a whole lot of time trying again from the start.

The intro really spoils just about everything huh? Really cool game with a lot more to it than I'd initially thought. I'd say Mystery mode was just the silliest and best thing. Ninja could've been the best had it been more than three missions. That VR Mission guantlet ranks up there too. "I don't like Naomi." I can agree with this. I mean, does anybody like here? Even back in '98 I thought she sucked. Think I even dislike her more than I do Big Boss. Oh and those TGS videos have some gold in them. "Ocerot" "Tankman" "Valcan"... Thanks for showing off the full extent of this crazy game. And guess what? Now you have footage to splice into MGS2 videos any time VR Training gets brought up!

You tore that harrier apart despite the handicaps and sass. Shame it was followed up by getting pissed on and diving into the ocean... This makes two MGS games in which you can get pissed on. Did Kojima drop it with 3 or have I somehow managed to miss it all these years? Also is it to late to showoff the absolutely silly quick travel method in this game or are we now locked into Strut 2 for the long haul? By the way since its hard to tell from youtube videos, how are the HD ports visually? A worthy replacement for the originals?

Oh yeah, I hadn't seen the wigs before so this shades+wig run is just making a goofy game seem even goofier. Good stuff. Dog tag collecting is fun at first, but trying to keep track of mans or holding them up on each pass through a room wears quickly on me. Grinding in an MGS game just didn't fit. Good thing they learned from that...ChaosArgate posted:3 doesn't have you get pissed on as far as I can remember. The HD ports are fantastic, they look stunning and Bluepoint games managed to get MGS3 running at a solid 60 FPS as opposed to the barely stable 30 of the PS2 version. Peace Walker also looks beautiful compared to the PSP version, but that one's a more obvious jump in visual quality. Danaru posted:Also yeah, the HD versions are absolutely fantastic aside from a couple framerate issues during particle heavy scenes.

Are we sure Grace isn't a Patriots spy? She's constantly talking into your ear during the mission and clearly has some questionable motives with some of the things she tells you to do.  Also I like these swimming segments in MGS2 and I wish more games did underwater parts so well. Oh and Ghost Babel is looking kind of fun so far, barring the codec text dumps. Sure would be nice of Konami to put it up on the 3DS VC.

"Not many people watched VR Missions" People are weird. I'm sure there are far, far less VR Mission videos out there than any other MGS game, yet... well the LP was good and got me to replay and finish much of the game anyway. Those Ninja missions were telling. You get about as much Ninja gameplay in VR as you do sword Raiden in MGS2. By the way are you planning to showoff the MGS4 Database later on? If so don't attach a drinking game to it. You wouldn't make it out alive.

gregory posted:"Who's the King of Ghost BabelTERRIBLE?!" So Ghost Babel has VR Missions too? And as per the credits "Link Battle"? I smell a Dan vs. Grace bonus episode! Good job finishing off Solidus while on fire. A shame that didn't carry over to the ending cutscene, but then the ending is pretty drat absurd on its own. Does MGS3 also have cutscene demo shenanigans? Because that was a great way to end the episode/game.

I'd forgotten how cutscene/codec heavy early MGS3 was and the next episode will only bring more. After Adam/Eva intros we're pretty in the clear for more gameplay than chatter episodes I believe? I have to say that so far I'm not hearing the "gruff devolution" of Hayter-Snake's voice. Not in MGS2 nor here. Surprised the game doesn't want you to Cure Snake's crushed hand. I guess you could say he has regenerating health since he's up and dunking people after that and a week after all of that other poo poo the Boss did to him. Why didn't you take the opportunity to toss someone off the bridge? Will we not be getting the full Sorrow experience in this playthrough? Oh and yeah, your wacky photo taking in MGS2 was rather lacking outside of the Tanker chapter. Try harder to fill up that hdd with photos of MGS3!On another note... Grace: "we have to play more sonic games" Keep on resisting! Don't give in!

That Sonic Dreams collection was the stuff of nightmares. I can believe Grace about not having trouble with Emerald Coast if it was the Dreamcast version. It's not glitchless or without wonkiness, but it seems like every port of Adventure 1 has way more issues. He is wrong about the Dreamcast not having DLC though, as Adventure 1 itself had some and more games that followed also did. Also not all 3D Sonic games follow the Eggman fucks up & subsequent teamup against super monster thing, and at least one of them actually subverts this trope!

How in the world did you get beer in your eye? And what's with you and the indoor segments of MGS3? Seeing a bunch of scientists makes you want to strip Snake and go on a dunkathon? Also be nice to The Fury. He's a cool boss fight.

Regarding trophies popping that you should've already had, that would be because you hadn't sync'd them to your new/borrowed PS3. Of course even if you do that, each games "trophy pack" has to be reinstalled, and once that's done if you sync again then the ones you've already earned will stop popping up again. It's a process I've been through many times myself.

"Static Shock was a good show" Overdose on cameos aside, drat straight  Didn't know you could mess with Volgin like that, almost feel bad for the guy until he starts mowing down his own men. The bike sequence is only good in the cinematic mode. If you actually try shooting guys the controls and fun factor are about as poor as they are in MGS1/4's vehicle segments.

Is drunk Dan not gay, or are bunny girls just universally loved? On another note Tales of Graces will be my first Tales game once I free up some space in the backlog. Sounds like I picked a winner? Oh and I'm one of those odd people here for the games! Especially the ones/parts of them I've not seen or played before! MGS2 VR looks fun and I'm digging its music. If Grace still wants in on Ghost Babel, why not stream its VR / Special Missions?

Finally decided to stop playing video games and resume watching other people do so, meaning I'm now caught up with this... trainwreck? What happened, you blew through VR Missions with its "aged controls/mechanics" like nobodies business. Granted, Ninja Raiden modes seem pretty crappy instead of pretty great ala VRM's Ninja Mode. Does fully clearing Substance net you anything? Or is this just a "play through all of these rehashed stages because it's fun! ...mostly."? While it's true nobody controls in Sonic R, I'll still defend it as being a fun game once you get used to the controls and learn the tracks. And yes you can drift. I'd forgotten the Chaos Emerald gently caress you screen, that's great. Also this thread has now been cursed by Tails Doll.  You definitely don't want to play Traveller's Tales other Sonic game, Sonic 3D Blast. I tried playing it recently and felt like I was going to puke not very long into it. pick-e fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Dec 26, 2015 |

R.I.P. Substance So many bad memories of PW flooding back as I watch these videos. Obnoxious bosses, Kaz never shutting up about picking up mans and items you're full up on, grinding, and Snakes out of control hair in cutscenes. I did see you pass by the "transfarring" option in the menu which made chuckle. Oh no, I could hear Snake's voice finally hit full gruff when he said cargo. We've finally arrived.

All caught up again and I see you two now know the pain and shame of being dunked by enemy soldiers. I have to say that Graces idea of "saving" you may not be all that bad. You two have been scooping up tons of mans and it would be a shame if MB ended up overflowing with them. All of that "friendly" fire on the other hand... that should be saved for Versus OPs! "Jungle fatigues are made for jungle combat." Thanks Kaz. "Why is it so fast?"  Judging by the fight, you two absorbed almost nothing from the mission briefing tapes. Then again after the Kaz hour of power and heaven only knows how much for the other characters I can't blame you.

Since they were brought up recently-ish I've been rewatching Jungle Strike and The Final Option and boy were those videos far less "lovingly nauseating" than the MGS series has been. I think this scientifically proves love can bloom on the battlefield. :p Regarding Fable, whatever happened to Fable 3? I'm still so curious how much further it will go into the "this is a videogame" territory. Also I'd never heard of red pandas until this thread but they're quickly climbing my list of animals I'm okay with. Thanks Elbakki!
