I tend to hate boss fights and MGS is no exception to the rule. One minute its a stealth game the next you're fighting weird, pseudo science super soldiers.

I agree dude. Even when the bosses are cool, I just wanna get on with my adventure. This same argument applies to Dark Souls series also. I like adventuring and exploring, not fighting giant scary things <:saddowns:>

The bosses aren't that bad in MGS1, but they get worse until V which has only one big one and I love it. V best Metal Gear.

Edit: And bosses are really the only things that make Extreme runs super difficult. Sure the game itself is made much more challenging but the bosses are brick walls of difficulty in those modes.

The core of Dark Souls is the bosses, though.

The core of dark souls is adventuring and getting items! I don't hate the boss battles but I'd rather just keep merrily adventuring.

Wow. I was gonna get one but... now maybe not. I'm probably even gonna get rid of my WiiU because I never play that thing and the controller lights up randomly with noises and advertisements (I know I can disable that, but I'd have to turn on the console for that).

Oh poo poo I loved Dirt 2. The 3rd game was a little too GYMKHANA but I'm excited. I wish I had more time and patience for Rally because I like it so much, but I gots other games to play. Using the power of my 1080, I been playing Payday 2 and DUCK GAME.

I was waiting for Nioh to unlock on Monday night and booted up MGSV for the first time since I got my 1080 (HOLY poo poo I didn't think the game could look any better, but welp) and realized I'm very close to 100% achievement in this.

Only problem is it's on steam where you can just hack your achievements in and it doesn't matter :saddowns:

I'm almost 100% achievement on mgsv on steam. But because steam achievements don't matter I want to do it on ps4 except I'm only around mission 25 or 26. So to prevent burnout I bought a ps3 and I'm gonna play 2,3,4 and peace Walker :anime:

Started 4 last night. Sure are a lot of cutscenes, but dang the gameplay feels :ocelot: :madmax:

I've got a GeForce 970 graphics card. I guess that isn't nearly enough? 1920x1080 is the highest res option the game will give me.


I mean, ideally you'd want to live in the control vault where Vault-Tec isn't loving with you, but really, would it be so bad to live in smooth jazz vault, where they play lounge music all the time?

Shoot, can't be worse than some of the places I've lived.

The page for the texture pack on steam says a requirement is a 1080 so they may just stealth not activate it despite you having it installed. That and your monitor isn't good enough to show the detail anyway.

Played the Ghost Recon Wildlands beta for a bit. It was cool and I pre-ordered it because I enjoy playing Tier 1 Barbie Narcos dress up.

This beta is a lot better than the last one. Graphics performance is better for one. On a 1080 the last beta chugged randomly but this time it's smooth as all hell with everything maxed. Also playing on the highest difficulty is the way to go. The second area they added for this one gives high hopes for the rest of the game. Anti air, alert sirens, power generators you can disable, well placed enemies and patrol routes, poo poo is really well done. The new area gives a much more mgsv feel.

The Souls series and Diablo 2 are the only ones I can think of that gets gear degradation to the point where it isn't a massive "gently caress you we're adding play time and choice related content" without them bothering to make it fun or even strategic

Except when they released Dark Souls 2 on PC and gear degraded twice as fast because they calculated it based on number of frames in contact with dead bodies or walls. They eventually fixed it but that was horrible.

I used to defend Nintendo but mostly out of nostalgia and love for mario/metroid/zelda games. Now that metroid is dead and I haven't liked a Zelda since wind waker (the 3ds one is good tho) coupled with the fact the switch is hosed up in the same way the U was hosed up, I just don't even care. Like I'm not mad at games or whatever it's just I can't even be bothered to buy one or get hype at all.

Honestly, I think I finally stopped caring about Nintendo poo poo when they started putting SNES games on n3DS but didn't do cross purchases or anything with Wii U. They've had so many years to get online play and account stuff right, and they keep loving it up.

Oh well, I'll just go play my PS4 and PC games instead. Not the end of the world.

For helicopters I don't understand how but a friend I play with can zoom around in one using kb and mouse like it's nothing. In the beta he did a barrel roll to dodge an incoming missile. There's a trick to it I haven't learned but it's real cool as a passenger.

The VR missions in mgs2 can get hosed. I'm stuck on the final sniping mission and the controls are such poo poo and there's no strategy beyond git gud. This and beating the game on extreme are the last two things keeping me from a platinum trophy.

I can TRANSFARR to the PS3 version but I'm a little gunshy on that because I got the platinum trophy on MGS3 and the save transfer hosed up somehow and it didn't give me all the trophies. I can do everything else except this sniping mission so I'll wait till it's literally the last (well there's 2 missions after it but still) thing to do before plat and then transfer to ps3 for slightly better controls and bigger screen.

Man I'm so over hacking systems. I used to be way into that stuff and even dabbled in writing homebrew but I just don't even have the energy for it anymore.

To clarify my "this system sucks" statement, in order to connect to my hotel's wifi I had to download an update that enabled to feature to connect to wifi with a login page (think kind of like starbucks). My workaround was to use my phone as a hotspot and burn 200 MB international data that luckily is getting paid for by work. After the update everything worked fine. It's just a rushed, incomplete system. Games sure are fun though.
