Yeah don’t we have a VGM thread. I come in here thinking it’s new trailers every time.
We have a “What are you listening to” thread that pretty much only SonicHuman posts in.

Its good, the story kinda all over the place and the ending is straight up missing as they didn’t let Kojima finish. But its a fun game, it’s open sandbox with you taking on various missions. You can later even pick and chose missions and even revisit old story based missions to get a better result.
The game has a level of cheese, but if you play a Kojima game before you seen it and know what to expect. So it cheese in a fun way.

Yes we do…
Pretty much this, would’ve loved to have seen the finished product, even with the goofy stuff.
Maybe it’s how I view Kojima’s work, but I always feel some people put way too much stock on some elements when all they’re meant to be is cheesey sci-fi/supernatural spy thrillers.

Most of that is because the one Metal Gear game where he tried to say something important everyone not only missed it despite how spelled out it is, but they all complained to.
So he went back to making easy to swallow anti-war anti-nuke messages surrounded by crazy science fiction.

Sorry you hate fun
Yep. But this is the video game thread, and they have music in them.
If lots of you guys hate it, I’ll stop
- VGM belongs in the VGM thread, GTFO with that
- VGM Friday should be a GD lounge thing, that’s where it started
- VGM Fridays are cool. Fun way to kick off the weekend

I’m fine with it here. It’s not hard to scroll past it.

He’s not wrong lol. Its very rare that people post in the actual VGM thread. I keep it alive to post about VGM stuff in there mostly same as it always has even when VGM fridays was a thing in lounge.
Edit: Music is a part of games…whether you choose to not pay as much attention to that aspect or not doesn’t change that fact. Good VG music can actually cement a game and gaming moments into their memories. This is a Video Game General discussion thread and VG music falls under that discussion. It’s 1 day out of the week where people can talk and celebrate that piece of gaming culture. It’s really not bad and may actually drive interest in games people haven’t played before or rekindle love for old ones. /2 cents

What idiot thought that fucking nonsense?
That’s a component, yes, but with XBox, I think it’s much more that the XBox One just couldn’t fuck with PS4 as far as exclusives. I remember people twitter-screaming at Phil about XBox’s lack of games when he congratulated Sony Santa Monica for God of War’s success two years ago.

Believe it or not, before 2009, SRK had a good chunk of 3s evangelist that you would have thought this place was 3s central.
I think with time the moved on to other places, like dedicated reddits, fb groups and now discord.
But for a while, you had them poping up on almost every thread trying to convert you into a 3s player while shitting on other games.
I think that the feeling that it was overrated came from that, lol.
It got to the point that some pro players started dissecting/shitting on the game, like Viscant and his infamous thread where he explained why 3s wasnt really an SF game because how everyone was played and basically being mini grapplers or something like that, lol (of course, i am oversimplifying his pov).
So on one hand, you had people shitting n the game because in their eyes was an unbalanced mess that wasnt a real SF, and the people praising it as the best game ever, and the pinnacle of balance.
Then SF4 came out, and you could hear less and less from the 3s players, since because the huge amount of 09’s and the changes on the site, many started to leave the place.

I used to think tiers didn’t exist in Smash…but then again I changed my stance on a LOT of things regarding smash. 
I never understood why people care if a game is balanced. If it’s fun, and not so broken that it can’t be played, then 
Most of us will never get to the level where it really matters that much anyway.
Chun is super broken tho. Even on a scrub level

It matters because balance can affect how much a person can enjoy a game.
Specially when it restricts what options they can use, by removing what they like from the game.
Is true that if the game is fun, you can overlook its balance problems, but that only can work to some extent, and that varies from person to person, and from game to game.
