Cyberbird posted:I haven't played any of the MGS games, but with everyone hailing MGSV as The Game To End All Games I've set myself to the task of playing every MGS title I have the hardware to play before August is over. 1 (or Twin Snakes) is great 2 is just hours upon hours of contempt for the audience - fun to watch happen back in 2001, not fun to play. Story gets real huge and dumb because now Kojima can render faces, so strap in for cutscene upon cutscene. For the next 15 years. 3 was good at the time and if you're interested in crawling around on PS2-era vegetation I guess go have fun. The story is less stupid and convoluted than 2 by like an inch but that's really just testament to how stupid and lovely 2 was. 4 isn't worth buying a PS3 for and is just so full of MGS's terrible lore that you're going to spend hours wondering when you can get back to its mediocre gameplay. Revengeance is the only one other than 1 that is a no-asterisk Good Game. Mostly because it's the only one whose writers aren't pretending that their lovely fingerpaintings are loving Renaissance art. Ground Zeroes is better than 4, and thanks to Kiefer Sutherland's busy loving schedule Snake actually spends most of the game in a state of having shut the gently caress up.

I bought Deus Ex when it came out. Most of what people gloss over because it's old was also lovely back then. It's really, really overrated.

program666 posted:What exactly is lovely about it? I only played it recently and I thought it was great. The animations are terrible, the voice acting is terrible, the city levels are all just giant hallways, the only part of the story that ever actually works is when you bust out of the prison and it turns out you're in UNATCO HQ, the "stealth" relies on enemies that are more retarded than the goombas in SMB and man-sized grates acting like transit systems in top-secret facilities, the only projectile weapon that is the least bit satisfying to use is the sniper rifle that is useless until you're halfway through the game and even then you're using it to zoom in on terribly-animated retards you could just as easily walk up to and karate chop, Unreal Engine 1, the main character has nothing resembling an arc, and the multiple endings are basically the same "press X for Ending 1" poo poo everyone bitched about in Human Revolution. All of that made a 7.5/10 game in 2000 and it hasn't gotten better since.

The blue glowy sword is also incredibly stupid and perfectly illustrates that Ion Storm themselves didn't really buy into the progression of combat abilities mechanic/lovely combat excuse.

The game basically goes from funneling you into sloppy kill -> hide in a vent -> sloppy kill to giving you license to glowy stab errbody while absorbing bullet fire. But hey, it has lots of dialogue and poo poo to read so it must be really deep.

The Colonel posted:Complaining about JC Denton having a lack of character development is pointless since JC Denton is meant to be a blank player-insert protagonist. Human Revolution managed to give you a character that was a fairly blank slate while still giving him lots of in-world motivation that actually fit into the game's narrative.

In Training posted:What's wrong with that It makes way less sense than the devs using it to put a bandaid over their game's sucking chest wound of a combat/stealth dichotomy. The combat was terrible and the stealth systems were rudimentary at best, so it was either give the player a glowy sword or risk nobody ever bothering to finish the game.

At least in SS2 they don't begin the game by telling you you're a badge-carrying augmented badass agent then giving you the choice of a gun with an oscillating barrel or a piece of farm equipment to rescue hostages with.

program666 posted:Say what you will about Deus Ex voice acting, but if you only focus on gameplay, last of us is a lesser game, the entire AAA industry is lesser, and deus ex is probably not even among my top 10 games ever, that's simply true and you know that. You may appreciate other stuff that is not gameplay, but for me gameplay is principal, it's really easy to understand why people like it so much. Graphics and gameplay go hand in hand, idiot. I bet you think social issues and economic issues can be walled off from each other, too.

I get the impression that program666 doesn't understand that good graphics don't necessarily have to be advanced graphics. Super Mario World has good graphics that serve the gameplay. Deus Ex has bad graphics and shiny floors that look like some poo poo out of Life of Pi.

Perfect Dark and GoldenEye are good games that are made great by talented artists working around pretty meager hardware. Basically the opposite of Deus Ex, where half baked ideas get pantsed by untalented artists with access to much better hardware.

PD refines a lot of GoldenEye's gameplay, no doubt. It's kind of a shame neither game was made for a Voodoo-equipped PC.

The inherent greatness of its being a sequel is canceled out by the fact that it was made by inferior Japanese developers.

I liked Ground Zeroes but I worry that the full game is going to have too many eyeroll characters and moments. Every time I get into a Metal Gear game I get some sudden reminder, like a character pissing himself or a loving vampire with no explanation, that it's the product of inferior Japanese developers who watch too many American direct to video movies.
