what the hell is la podfest
Definitely not. MGS was better than average but there were a ton of games, especially the PC RPGs and PnC of the era like Legacy of Kain, Planescape, Grim Fandango, ect. that are easily better written. The MGS' story is still a lot of fun because its so over the top and convoluted, and I think the action and (melo)drama is extremely well directed.
Google it.

edit: http://lapodfest.com/performers/, but have we heard anything from GB about it?

The Rocket League servers are finally running pretty smooth and it's glorious.

Dont know why Rocket League was a PS+ game. It had a bunch of interest already and I bet would have done well for it self. Plus I am sure their weird cross PS4 / PC servers wouldnt have died as quick.
But whatever. Free awesome game is great. If they ever do DLC Ill buy out of a obligation to support awesome shit.

That's what I did when the Outlast DLC came out. Bought it immediately.
Still I am never going to complain about a great free game and I still think to build a bigger audience for a MP game this might have been the right move.

They're planning on releasing all future map DLC for free and only paid DLC for cars/cosmetic things. I think this month they're releasing another map arena based on the original game. That's pretty cool.
They do get paid for ever PS+ download, you know...
I do.

That's what Graham Elwood said on the latest Comedy Film Nerds, and he co-runs the gig, so...
Did someone ask for this on a stream

so the thing people fail to realize about the Bomberman Act Zero thing is that Konami owns the rights to Bomberman now so nothing will ever happen involving anything forever
Pretty sure most people know that Konami bought Hudson. It's just another sad facet of the whole Konami shit.

they seem to be forgetting it in this gerstmann-induced fervor of ironic Act Zero support

Wait it's on PS+? I guess I'll have to try it out then, since everyone keeps going on about it.
The update file is bigger than the game itself.. With PSN download speeds this will probably be ready tomorrow.

To be fair, mgs1 was a hot mess to figure out control-wise even when it launched. If a friend hadn't shown me how to play the demo I would've probably passed on the series.
Nothing plays like mgs1 and it's not till mgs4 that the series ever controls like its gaming peers. It's almost a genre inunto itself.
Problem that poster has is that there's nearly 20 years of people getting over that hump and idolizing that game for him to make a thread saying its weeks old hot dog water. That wasn't going to end well, especially given that fanbase

I don't know. I'm generally of the opinion that if I hate something, I don't feel like it's worth my effort to try to convince other people why I think it's bad. At least, not without any prompt to do so.
I'd rather spend my time finding things to like...

It is (some may say very steep learning curve). I'm just bewildered by the number of posters on a forum like this who think the poster is 'trolling'.
I just think of it more as a critique (in bullet points).

I think it's more that he didn't say I didn't enjoy this game but said, This game is bad. Followed by a very poorly done list of problems that are problems from a mostly modern perspective (though personal taste will lead you to enjoying the characters or not; they are well written). There's a huge difference between the two statements when it comes to a post.
As someone else said in the thread, had OP not gone full hyperbole, there could have been a discussion there.

If he thinks MGS1's writing is lame and self-indulgent then boy he should realllly stay away from the rest of the series.

Watching Metal Gear Scanlon > Playing Metal Gear Solid
Always appreciated the games for what they are and the attention to detail, but I've always find them hard to play for me. I just get angry the entire time and end up just quitting the first time I die. I'd rather just watch.

Mgs1 also harkens back to a time where reading the manual was actually useful. The game doesn't really spell everything out to you like one who grew up on modern games would expect.
Meh, calling it an outright bad game doesn't sit well with me but if you want to call it clunky and somewhat inscrutable given today's games then I can hear that argument out.

Then boy do I have a great upcoming mgscanlon coming for you!

My favourite thing about J-Stars is that Young Joseph is in it and not fucking Jotaro.

Correct choice.

there's not enough time in life for me to run out of things to enjoy, might as well give it my best shot!
Should have gone with Jotaro over Jonathan, nobody likes Jonathan.

Correct. Would have been better to have both though. Maybe Jolyne
Best character is Medaka though.
Somebody please tell me which video this gif is from. Dying to know what Brad saw.
