csgo has 760k people watching the grand finals atm.

man the fgc is so sad lol

Looks awesome. I read that Arc System Works recently got the license to this and a few other older franchises so it wouldn’t surprise me if we saw a sequel down the road by them.

It looks nice but I’m wondering why they’re bothering to make it look like an NES game instead of a SNES game.

If you’re gonna do sprite art that colorful and detailed you might as well try to make it look 16-bit, not 8-bit.

hey mike C. what time were you headed to dickens at? could i chance a ride from you? ill buy you a beer whether you want me to or not this time. or gas money at least.

I’ll come after the gym; hopefully just after 4 or something, MK peoples.

MGSV is getting perfect scores across the board. I CANT WAIT ANOTHER WEEK

Anyone at dickens or is it too late? I was hoping to swing by and intro myself. Just left the gym.

Still like 7 of us here

I’m apparently the only person that never liked MGS lol

Did you play MGS1 when it first came out?

tried too, never liked ‘stealth’ games

MGS is an acquired taste

much like MSG

they’re both super salty but if you like it, it’s really addicting

also the workers that make both products work in inhuman slave-labor factories

Yeah, so did MGS4.

(I jest of course, I want to play it too.)

I really don’t understand how MGS4 was reviewed that way. The awesomeness of it all outweighed the bad but there was a loooot of bad. It’s undoubtedly the worst of the 4. Matthewmatosis’ series on mgs sums up my thoughts on 4 pretty well.

MGS1 and 3 are my besties though. And 2 gets a lot better when you look back at all the genius devices Kojima used to make points. (All the ways, some more obvious than others, that Kojima used to consistently make you feel inferior are just mind-blowing… And deliberately doing that to people playing your game takes wrecking balls for testicles)

If someone held a gun to my head and I needed to pick between 1 and 3 though, I dunno if I could. No matter which choice I made I wouldn’t feel good about… 3 has The Boss but 1 has Foxhound! Hardest choice since choosing between Autobots or Decepticons in Splatoon the other day.

I liked #1 but they kinda abandoned everything I liked about it in the later games. Haven’t really been a fan since.

Don’t get me started on the overwrought cinematics.

Kojima wants to be Scorsese, but he’s really really not.

4 was great except for the insane number of cutscenes and typical mgs story

imo kojima makes great games but absolutely shit stories

I dunno I thought MGS3’s story was incredible … that end battle against the Boss! The feels!

MGS5 apparently has almost no story whatsoever, ditched all that in favor of being the most awesome sandbox you could ever imagine
