How about you give them credit that they're taking extra time to test the PC version rather than becoming the indie version of Arkham Knight?

The only thing that didn't pique my interest was that the regular combat combos seemed kind of slow and whatever, but I'm sure the game opens up into a more robust fighting system as you play. The whole ending stinger is clearly online players dropping into your game a la Dark Souls

Main Paineframe posted:

...the person who wrote the article about how "modern" art is the founder and ceo of a patreon clone, it's to her direct financial advantage to tell furry porn creators and people who make videogame music videos that they're making real art and that anyone who disagrees just doesn't get the new era of artistry. in that, as well as her other articles, she's trying to convince them that they're true artists who should openly sell their work (on her website) and that those old-fashioned art galleries who refused to show their masterpiece portrait of master chief sucking off sonic the hedgehog were just too obsolete to understand their brilliance

It's a post on medium, not an article on a website trying to drive clickthrough traffic for ads. It's the equivalent of someone posting something on their personal blog to advance their own (very dumb) personal agenda, but it's not clickbait.

I know everyone is new to the internet at some point or another, but please, put a little more effort into thinking about things for a minute before mashing the post button. :justpost:

Well a used PS3 isn't anywhere as cheap as the bargain basement and dropping prices the failure that is the Vita TV is going for, but it will play more of the games you want, including all PS1 games (no bloody whitelist).

As others have mentioned, the Vita TV *could* have been for the price, but Sony apparently wants it to fail.

death to spies 2 is awesome. you just gotta accept that some of the missions are really long, like the first one which is set over a whole military base. also, you can hide dead people by parking a car on top of them, which is always great.

You will be ashamed of your words and deeds...

http://www.videogamer.com/reviews/metal_gear_solid_5_the_phantom_pain_review.html

Note: The below review-in-progress is based off of code played over the course of four full days with a near-final build of The Phantom Pain...

...Then there's the microtransaction element. While I didn't get to play around with these, I assume they are related (or easily could be) to the various skill trees and build times relating to items, weapons, Fulton effectiveness, camos and everything else(as well as the online FOB systems, where you can build out bases etc). There are hundreds of such variants, and some of these require time to create, up to 18 minutes in my playthrough. It's here where I assume you can pay for the gear. Fine, if you want to get all the high-level items quickly. Not fine if you can't complete the mission without them and have to wait, like I did. A controversial inclusion which smacks of money-grabbing if indeed it functions this way (and I must stress I don't know this for sure) it remains to be seen how deeply it will affect the final product. Still, that those poorly-chosen character elements persist in a game this ambitious, this big, and this enjoyable disappoints sharply, and there's little excuse for them.
