I'd recommend you play the game before watching!

No no, they just didn't have any in stock because we're out of season apparently.

I can't wrap my mind around this.

Having never played MGS4 I'm surprised Liquid seems to be the antagonist at the outset. Kind of expected it to be Ocelot given all the buildup he got in 3.

Is it ever explained why Ocelet felt the need to strap Liquid's hand to his body, rather than the dozens of corpses Snake doubtless left, or how Liquid managed to work that possession from beyond the grave?

Or is it a thing like how Fortune somehow deflected that final missile in MGS2 (ie magic).

I look forward to seeing your reactions as Dan and Drew progress through the game.

MGS4

 

[bigkrev]

I started playing MGS4 for the first time 2 weeks ago (I'm actually at what I believe is the final boss

Spoiler

Fighting Ocelot on top of GW

, but stopped because I heard the ending is over an hour long and want to wait till I know I can sit for that long to finish it), and I'm fascinated by the stuff that Drew gets "right" and "wrong". I'm tearing my hair out at him shooting all these things he could be crawling to pick up in the palace (and the fact that he remembered it for the claymores, but didn't think to try it on the other stuff), and yet he got into the palace so much quicker and easier than I did! He never encounters the Snipers, he figured out how to get in the building quick, and did it all on one try.

I had totally forgotten about the window, and if you go back to the area, you're never really given a chance to focus in on the window itself. For whatever reason the tape had never really registered as important to me.

Ok, I can see how that can happen. I just saw it immediately and was a bit frustrated it never became a talking point until the end.

Am I doing this right, Stump?

And yeah, if they made the video column like the Blog and Review ones, and I think I prefer the original site to the current one.

Another point in MGR's favor: Sunny isn't completely unlikable.

MGR2 is in the future where that kid is the new Raiden, still speaking with that fucking accent.

Metal Gear Rising 2: Da Ninja Man

 

[Jintor]

Then that's on Kojima.

And if you're bothered by the long winded explanations and the reiterating of ideas and concepts this early in MGS4 then buckle up because we've only begun to scratch the surface of MGS4. I can 100% confirm that it's only going to get worse from here on out.

they can both be bad writers

yeah i played mgs4 already and i think discarded almost all of it from my memory

Amazing. Some mad man spent many hours building that map to make it work perfectly.

I might make it through that first straightaway if I got lucky

 

[MassiveNights]

I think that's just a push forward map, as cool as it is to watch.

It isn't he turns after some of the landings.

it definitely isn't. those flips and stuff are dictated by the track shape but he's definitely steering to hit them/get through parts of the track

if he misses one of them by like a millimeter or is just barely not fast enough it's over

 

[TheMrPliskin]

I'd love to know how long that took to make, the amount of precision required must have made it a real pain.

Nah that's all just clever abuse of physics.

Doesn't seem like something someone who's never seen it before could complete.

Driving the track for 5 minutes every time you want to try the placement on one of those last bits of the track must be fun.

hey this is pretty off-topic but I know a lot of you played it and google isn't helping

is there any reason NOT to play Danganronpa 2 on easy if I loathed the courtroom minigames in 1?

 

[Antiwhippy]

No.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

It's literally just holding the acceleration button.

I feel like push forward maps are the antithesis of Trackmania. There's no improving of your time to be had, no technique involved. Sure it looks cool, but it's all style and no substance.

Stump what are you doing? The only visual novel you should playing now is the one that Danny likes where you try to fuck the pigeons.

I've got a bunch in my backlog right now and I'm probably going to throw Steins gate on the pile as well, but I feel like I should finish the Ace Attorney games before starting any other VN.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Play steins;gate.

Just play it.

Also recently finished hakuoki: demon of the fleeting blossom.

Why must my husbandos lead such tragic lives? ;_;

 

[EmCeeGramr]

god i totally forgot how much mgs4 harps on about the blasted war economy. it's in every second sentence of drebin's monologues. war economy war economy war economy war economy

i seem to remember that konami changed translators at some point. mgs was never incredibly well written moment-to-moment but i kinda feel it actually kinda starts getting annoying in mgs4

There's a really "great" line in MGS4 that's a result of this.

Spoiler

The nonsensical "if you won't be a prisoner of fate, then go and fulfill your destiny" sounds like it's just saying the same exact thing twice, but it's apparently a direct translation of a Japanese idiom that loses the implied meaning of "go and change your destiny by meeting it head on"

I don't get why Dan felt the need to blurt out

Spoiler

Johnny doesn't have nanos

.

This is something Dan's done since the start of Metal Gear Scanlon. He'll randomly pick things that he thinks Drew should know, half of which are irrelevant and just end up confusing Drew more, and half of which are neat details or Easter Eggs or story spoilers that Drew should have found out by himself.

 

[stump sock]

I want to but it's either buy an import vita copy (which isn't that expensive tbh) or buy the pc version... off of j-list? j-list still exists?

I'm half hoping they just release a NA version so I don't have to deal with that nonsense.

e: NEVERMIND!

You can just buy it directly off jast. I seem to remember doing that.
