I'm gonna play through all the Metal Gear games in order except for Portable Ops. Just finished Metal Gear it was p decent for an eighties game except for the gently caress You Door that doesn't take a key card.

portable ops is real rough, even on pc

the stamina system is horseshit, and recruiting guys is awkward even if you do the dogpile

the bosses are more enjoyable than the vehicle fights in pw though

also it's kind of a bummer the shooting is so good in v because you're not allowed to use any of the guns, but then i guess you don't get to fire any guns outside of boss fights in the other games anyway

how is this even possible

uh, it takes some pretty sophisticated technology to capture several pairs of x,y coordinates and transmit them from one device to another and then back to the original device

and also to draw several different colored triangles? it's called computer science, maybe you should try learning it

twin snakes is a lot more comedic and the mgs2 mechanics make it way easier but the biggest sin is it isn't exactly identical to the original so everybody is required to hate it

i can't believe i'm asking this but what the gently caress

does ocelot know who his parents are?

it's never really spelled out clearly

the boss probably knew during operation snake eater, and snake found out from eva who was told by volgin(?) that ocelot's mom had a snake shaped scar, so if nobody else knew snake could have given his buddy the "i knew your mom" speech

evidently ocelot found out sometime in the 6 years between snake eater and the san hieronymo incident, since ocelot was the one that came up with the plan for fox to kill the boss but at the end of portable ops he kills the dci and steals the legacy for zero apparently as revenge for getting conned into setting up the plan to kill his mom

e: then again portable ops also makes it seem like it could have the dci that developed the plan to kill the boss, but by peace walker hot coldman takes credit for operation snake eater so who knows

so basiclaly nobody knows because kojima cna't keep a story straight if his life depneding on it

well the problem is all the ocelot's motivation reveals come in portable ops. that something happened in san hieronymo is canon but it wasn't written by kojima so its not clear whether all the deviously clever strategist stuff is official

kojima seems to like the game but in peace walker kaz is all, that stuff that happened in san hieronymo was horseshit, let's never mention it again

mario maker should have had the capability to recreate any previously released 2d level and also it should have had an overworld maker

instead i guess you can make not quite as good as romhack levels that are displayed as a thumbnail so you can't even have level surprises because what if somebody makes a weiner out of coins

iirc and i was really tired at this point of the game because it's so darn slow but first solidus does a big reveal, then Ocelot, then the Colonel. that's just in the last cinematic, but prior to that there's also the whole thing about it all being a VR mission or something. so really 4 major plot twists that change everything right near the end, each one making the last irrelevant.

the patriots are alex jones' new world order. they control both sides of every conflict, so no matter the outcome they win. if you think you are in a position to fight the patriots then you are actually an agent of the patriots doing their will.

the best thing about bethesda games is the thousands of trash items with no purpose but to gently caress up and start noisily vibrating when they clip into the floor and then cause that cell to crash and corrupt your save

pseudorandom name posted:

this happens because coordinates at runtime in the editor or the game engine are higher resolution than coordinates stored on disk in order to save space and reduce load times. exporting a level from the editor or saving your game (they use the same format, afaik) discards the low-order bits of everything which teleports them slightly at load time. and since you can rotate objects arbitrarily in three dimensions before setting them down, positioning all surfaces at multiples of the lower resolution won't help because the object can't have a "bottom" that is placed on the surface.

well a solution is to give each model a defined best guess orientation with a simple spherical com mesh and have a check that sees if any object in the cell with physics somehow has its com lower than the lowest local floor plane and if so disable clipping, move object an arbitrary distance above the floor and orient it into best guess and then enable clipping

of course this would have cool consequences like a stack of books where one bok slipped into a shelf and would suddenly rotate 90 degrees and cause everything else on the shelf to explode into the room killing anything in their path

except like all bethesda games you'll do it for like 10 minutes and then work out that it's a waste of time because one vendor trash gun is worth more caps than 5 hours of dinking around with your potato plant which by the way stopped refreshing and now if you look at it from the wrong angle purple and black checkerboard textures fly across the screen and knock you zooming into the air where you explode
