is bootiful

Definitely.
The fanbase as a whole was hoping/expecting the game to end with at least a radio transmission from Solid at the start of "Operation Intrude N313". I'd prefer that, because if they showed Solid and Venom together, it would imply a MG1 remake in the Fox Engine. Which i would Love, obviously, you know me, but i don't want it without Kojima It would be perfect, it would do what the games ultimate goal was: tying the saga together.

We sort of got something like that. The tape Venom puts on in the ending has Operation Intrude N313 written on the back, and after all that static, the MSX computer which is the platform MG1 was released on, nice touch in the back lights green. It's decent, but at all close to the alternatives.

Ocelot game would be awesome, if they got his character right. He was way off in V. I don't know which Metal Gears you've played, but his personality in MGS3 was perfect as a young version of MGS Ocelot. He is nothing like that in V.

A new Metal Gear game is already in the works, apparently confirmed without doubt by Konami, though i haven't fact checked. Here's to hoping it'll be a complete spinoff, and that it uses the Fox Engine. That engine is too damn good, and too damn promising to die with just 2 games on it.

Yea, a bit more direct relation to his fate in Metal Gear would have been better. Actual gameplay or cutscenes showing more of Outer Heaven would have been amazing.

Kojima seems to love that kind of stuff, like the MGS flashbacks in MGS4.

They kind of tried to make him a humbled version of MGS3 Ocelot I guess. More reserved and meticulous. I suppose the 20 years between the two games is supposed to be a time in which he's "matured". They referred back a little bit. Like where he shows the recruit how to fire his gun, "pretty good" etc.

I wish they'd finish MGSV first, but oh well. I'm not sure where the storyline is going to go from here seeing as they've exhausted the Solid Snake storyline and the Big Boss prequel storyline pretty much. So unless it's a spinoff, maybe involving Solidus and Raiden in Liberia, or Ocelot's life post-MGSV pre-MGS, then I don't know what they'd do it on.

I also honestly wish they'd gone through with more Kiefer dialogue instead of making Venom a self-insert for the player. Venom would have been much better with that character development.

I have, and i am god damn pissed about it.

There's no closure to Eli's storyline without it, and Sahelanthropus just sitting there with a bunch of kids while Venom does ******** about it? Not to mention the English parasite strain..

People actually thought Kojima getting the boot would have zero impact on the game, just because his contract hasn't run out yet... Even worse, people STILL think it had zero impact on it, and its Kojimas fault. That's what pisses me off the most i think. It seems they've just forgotten the quality and polish of the previous games, and forgot all the **** moves Konami has done lately..

******* Pachinko machines...

I can't believe they released it with that, I mean:

>watch Liquid steal English strain
>watch Liquid run away with niglets and a ******* METAL GEAR
>Liquid has none of these things in MGS

Past mission 31 the game feels lackluster as **** too. There may be a few good, original missions past that point, namely the second outbreak and maybe a Quiet Exit (that mission pisses me off though, but that's because I'm bad at dealing with sniper tanks) and that jungle stealth mission. I get that they were over budget and Kojima was taking a long time but they really should have done something about it. The mission replays at higher difficulty were a stupid addition too, imo.

Konami said they're not making any more AAA titles because mobile gaming and Pachinko machines make them more money. Oh well.

Yup, completely agree. Though i liked the higher difficulties, they shouldn't have been standalone missions, it shouldve been a gameplay option for all missions.

They should've put the original missions in chapter 2 into chapter 1, and not call it chapter 2. Seeing "chapter 2" got my hopes up.
Chapter 1 also had awkward **** like the long ass car ride with Skullface, with "Sins of the Father" shoehorned in.

And the "ending" we got came out of ******* nowhere, there was no real buildup to it. Mission 51 should've been the end, with "Truth" being the secret ending.

The game would've benefitted greatly from an extra year in development. Everything would've been finished, polished, more unique missions and life would've been good. Instead, we get a good game (in my opinion at least) with a lot of missed opportunities and wasted potential.

Gameplay is really good imo, AI and such are great and there's a lot of possibilities for creativity. The "Truth" ending came out of nowhere, in the midst of unrelated missions and mission replays. Mission 51 definitely should have been the ending because, quite simply the story is unfinished (with regards to Liquid).

And that Sins of the Father scene was awkward as **** . I don't know who thought it was a good idea to have 0 dialogue for 5 minutes whilst a song played.

It pisses me off that this is Kojimbles last Metal Gear, and Konami has already confirmed they will make more. Can't wait to see if it'll be Pachinko or Mobile.

That said, it'd be stupid as **** not to at least sell the Fox Engine. It's ******* great, and optimised as **** . They may make more AAA games after all.

Also, have you seen this? www.sonsoflibertyinternational.com/
I don't know if you've played MGS2, but the main antagonist calls himself and his men the Sons of Liberty.

It's sad alright. I really don't want to see the Metal Gear get cheapened. And the engine is really good for free roam, better than GTA's imo.

Oh yea I've seen that, funny as **** .

I REALLY hope they make a spinoff, with a new protagonist and all.
Them making a remake of Kojimas first Metal Gears would be sacrilege.

...

FUUUUUUUUUUCK!

GOD ******* DAMN IT **** YOU HUEY YOU PIECE OF **** !

Never before have i wished a characters fate got retconned more than his. He should've been tortured to death.

Though, knowing he was afraid of water, loved his "legs", and literally got cucked to death by his own son is satisfying.

He was worse than skull face.

At least Liquid and Skull Face acknowledged they were going against Venom, and had actual plans. Huey was denying everything until the very end, it pissed me off so much. Kaz should have got his way.

The second outbreak alone was enough. That mission is so ******* emotional.

I was really impressed by his voice actor, he has stepped his game up with every MGS he's been in, and he pulled off the slimy **** that was Huey flawlessly and was completely different from Otacon.

Yeah, that mission was probably my favorite. My heart sank when "we live and die by your order, Boss" , and how they flinched when you shot the first guy. Them humming the Peace Walker theme was just the icing on the cake.
I loved the Paz side story as well.

nvm I just went and bought it and it's great

**** ***** , hell if i know. Never, i guess.
Are you implying you have a life now?

That's fantastic.
God bless people with too much time on their hands.

Yo man, you still live?

And wow, you actually have a pretty old account?
'Sup?

yes. my friend sunset gave it to me so i will cherish it forever.
waiting for phantom pain what about you?

Is that even a question?
I'm trying to wait for Phantom Pain, but holy **** the wait is painful. The hype is unreal, especially since they didn't want to delay the PC release by 2 weeks after all.

In the meantime i got 100% in Ground Zeroes. I'm ******* ready.

maybe
i know it's annoying to wait this long. i'm not even sure if i want it for pc or ps4.
i need to upgrade said pc like right now

Well the PS4 gets Metal Gear Online a few months before PC does (Not the base invasion, but the regular multiplayer) .
But if i were you, and i had the money, i'd upgrade the PC right away. You'd thank yourself later on.

That would piss me off even more, but it wouldn't surprise me.
Nips have made loads of gambling stuff with popular franchises. The Berserk machine comes to mind.

Not much mane. Trying to stay awake to fix my sleep schedule.

You?

lol how'd you **** it up

Also nm, playing some vidya, waiting for Fallout 4

Staying up too late and sleeping too long.
And then i think i can just stay awake to fix it, but then i get so tired i "just need to rest my eyes" and you know how it goes. This **** was way easier in my teens.

Fallout 4 looks like it'll be pretty damn good. It fixes my main issue with Bethesda games: the god awful animations.

Yea I get you, good luck with that.

It does look really good, but they're going crazy with the extra features and alterations on other fallout games (ie, your character has a voice). It'll definitely be a good game, but idk if it would be a good fallout game.

Yeah, i'm not a fan of the voiced protagonist. Even worse is the simplified dialogue options. 4 options is not enough, and the options doesn't even say exactly what the character will say. There will be so many times i'll pick for example: [Disagree] and the protag will tear the other character a new whole verbally, unless they do a REALLY good job with the shortened answers.

And yeah, it might be a Jack of all trades, master of none game with all these features.

Yea the dialogue **** too, looks exactly the same as Mass Effect. I like the long answers and voiceless protagonist in 3 and NV.

You played Alien: Isolation?

I have not, but i've heard it's a great game. I might buy it some time, but i have so many games i have yet to play i can't justify getting it now.

It's spooky as hell. Good survival horror and less action based than Dead Space or RE, but slightly more action based than games like Amnesia. One nice thing is the Alien aesthetic they keep from the films. ie the computers are all 80s hardware.

Also what is that gif from. I'm guessing some kind of Steam indie horror game but idk which.

Yeah i've seen that, the devs did a really good job recreating the looks.

It's from DreadOut iirc. Never played it, but i've watched a few streams. It's pretty spooky, the Japanese are pretty good at that.
I wish i played it instead of watching it. It's pretty cheap on Steam.

I don't really play horror games. The most recent one i've played is Outlast.
I wish i had the chance to play PT, and Silent Hills would've been ******* amazing if PT was any indication.

That does look spooky as **** . I might actually get that on sale. Games like that are always typical bait for letplayers with facecams though, which is annoying as hell when they jump on the bandwagon.

I'm kind of into them. It needs to be the right time of day to get the right effect when you play them though, late evening time is good, with headphones. Otherwise it loses its magic.

Silent Hills looked great and it pissed me off when they cancelled it. Norman Reedus would've been great and I may have finally bought a PS4 to play it.

Yeah, playing in total darkness with good headphones can make games that normally are only a little scary spooky as **** . I have a 7.1 surround headset, so i had a blast with Outlast.

And yeah, i was ******* pissed. **** Konami with a rake.
And the way they've been treating Kojima is ******* ridiculous. You can probably guess how ******* pissed i am at that.

But at least we got confirmation from Guillmero Del Toro that he and Kojima are still in touch, and working on a project. That has me very excited.

Yea Konami definitely don't deserve his expertise, they're a ****** company that will fail without people like him.

Do you have any idea what they might be up to? If Del Toro is involved it sounds like it could be spooky.

They're going to focus on mobile gaming apparently, and there's way more money in that than i'd ever guess. They won't go bankrupt, but they'll definitely be a husk of its former self.

I wish i had any idea. But like you said, the inclusion of Del Taco and the fact that they worked on a horror game that got everyone hyped as **** almost has to mean they're working on something horror related.

Companies that focus on mobile gaming (as in, microtransactions and other such ******** ) are sellouts. Even Bethesda did it with their iOS game. EA shamelessly do it and it just makes their names so much tackier.

Looking forward to that then, hopefully it'll be as good as Silent Hills promised to be.

Yeah **** mobile. Especially if content is put behind a paywall, or if you can pay to do things that otherwise takes time to do again, and if you don't pay the time you have to wait is bloated as hell.

Yeah me too. With PT they really messed with the player, and in Del Toro's interview he mentioned Psycho Mantis from MGS1, who was one of the first in gaming to mess with players. (He read your memory card and said "hmmm, i see you like Castlevania" and **** like that if you didn't know.) So it's likely they'll go down the same path

"Buy premium currency to spend and speed up this process".

I never got the chance to play PT but I saw cri1tikal play it and it was spooky as **** . Foetuses in sinks, Jesus.

Exactly. Holy **** i hate that.

Yeah, Konami ****** up real bad when cancelling it. They'll hand it over to an inexperienced company to save some bucks and it will be yet another trash entry in the series, instead of a return to form. Fans will never let them live that down.

But anyway, i gtg. See you later, *****

Cya bro

ey

'sup?

Not much, doing some work, new watch got delivered.

You?

Playing Fallout 3 for the first time (finally)
God damn that game is unstable. Crashes every time i Alt+tab. And before i found that multicore fix, it was unplayable. Couln't even get out of the Vault.
It's fun now though.

What kind of watch?

I wish I could play Fallout 3 for the first time again, ****** good. It's dated and glitchy but still GOTY material. Crashes like most Bethesda games, but what are you gonna do. One of my fav games.

Watch is the same as pic

Dayum, that's some fancy **** . Expensive?

I just hope i don't run into any gamebreaking **** . In Skyrim, the Thieves guild quests didn't activate for me on my first playthrough, and i couldn't access the area you kill Alduin, i forgot the name, in my second.
Nothing yet, so that's good.

Only £80, I got it as a day-to-day watch because I didn't want to wear out the leather on my nicer one.

From what I've heard most gamebreaking **** happens during DLC, I've never had any troubles (apart from getting stuck in the Jefferson Memorial and being unable to get out, meaning I had to reload an early af save) but I think you'll be fine.

I don't have any fancy watches, only a cheap thing with rubber straps. It's okay though.

I've heard that too actually, but i imagine people have found out ways to fix this by now. And i'm on PC, so if all else fails, i'll just use the console.

Yea, tbh they're a practicality thing you don't need to spend a lot on, only jewellery a man can wear too.

Console or mods, PC users have it easy in that respect.

You played Fallout New Vegas

Also I watched GoT, all of them.

Uh, i haven't played New Vegas yet. Release order, niqqa. Always. Just ignore the fact that i haven't played, and i'm not considering playing, Fallout 1 or 2

So what did you think about GoT?
You were probably spoiled to **** with some of the plot twists.

Make sure you do, it's slightly more polished than Fallout 3 in a number of ways, but feels less post-apocalyptic. Still one of my favourite games tho. I got 1 and 2 for free through some deal, but I can't be asked with that gameplay interface. It looks like AIDS.

GoT's great, only major spoiler I saw and remembered when watching it was Joffrey's death , other than that no.

imo best storyline is the Night's Watch and worst is the Daenerys one (got boring once she got the unsullied then started ruling slaves instead of crossing the sea to Westeros).

Only that spoiler? That's ******* amazing. Spoiling GoT has practically been a sport.

Yeah, **** Daenerys. I hope she finally does something in the upcoming season.
And holy god damn **** i can't wait for the new season.

tbh a lot of other stuff was probably spoiled a while ago for me but I never considered watching GoT, so I forgot them.

They've been dragging it out for so ******* long it's ridiculous. I don't care about irrelevant slaves in ********* across the sea. I want her to kill **** .

Yeah, she's been filler lately, and not the good kind.

Last Tyrion/Tywin interaction was good though. You could kind of see the foreshadowing too (Tyrion stops getting his own way when Jaime won't go back to Casterly, Cersei won't marry Loras and Tyrion refuses to die). It was great because Tywin was such a ******* Jew who wouldn't stop getting his own way with everything. Funny death too.

I liked the scene, but it kinda rubbed me the wrong way too. I mean, he was the most powerful man in Westeros, and the death was a little too anticlimactic, too short. Which ofc is the irony of it, it was definitely intentional, but it just didn't feel like a big deal to me. Which is sad because Tywin was one of my favorite characters, i loved to hate him. Charles Dance is an awesome actor.

But i gtg now, smell ya later.

Something to do with him not " ******** gold", lmao.

And yea, cya

Ikr?
I have no regrets.

Jesus Christ this picture is the best ******* part.

Such a sadcase.

He denied that this was him.

youanfaggot.
Since when were you alive?

fj got stale idk

my life basically consists of video games and sleeping rn

Hear hear. I'm only here when i'm extremely bored, as if this is any better.

Do you still go to school, or do you have a job? Long time no see dude.

still in school. im 17 so yeah. if you ever wanna talk just add me on skype Lsd1225

>Add me on Skype
>Skype

Naw, buddy. Naw.

So how's life? didn't you have a thing for a girl when you left? How did that go?

wtf is wrong with skype hater

what was her name?

Idk, it chrashes all the time, won't log in most of the time, and i just don't like it in general.

Hell if i know, i don't think you told me.

im dumb

duh

Well for all i know the anchovies and mayo you have is completely different from what we have here, so it might be disgusting for you.

well it does sound like it's worth trying at least

>Posting Pokemon
>Calling anyone a faget

**Sunset rolled image** how're you tom?

**iamnewhere rolled image**
I'm good for the most part. I managed to contract 'kissing disease' about a month ago, so i have practically no energy in me (as if i had that before), and i can't drink alcohol until January.

How're you Tommy?

i'm good, just showered

Did you get any whiter?

sadly not

That's too bad.

at least i'm not a *******

At least i don't live in America.

**Sunset rolls 42** glad to be free, pal

I'm sorry, i can't hear you over all my Pinnekjøtt.

i can't hear you over my cheeseburger

Keep eating your trash food, i'll be eating tørrfisk all day.

sounds like **** . what is it?

Salted and dried cod. It's pretty good

i don't think i've ever had cod. what's that like?

Regular cod is really nothing special imo. There's loads of fish that tastes better. Salmon for example.

you ever had anchovies?

Yeah. The ones you get here are pretty good. A slice of bread with eggs and mayonaise goes really well with it.
