maybe i should start posting about gb in the mgs community thread ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

now would be the time

 

[strafer]

Is it me or is the music that plays right before the Snake/Liquid fight starts sounds an awful lot like The Rock music? As in the Michael Bay masterpiece... Not the former wrestler turned all around cool dude.

Nut surprising. Same composer.

Ah yeah good point.



Also...


Ohhhh Ground Zeroes......

Pheonix doooowwwwwnnn

 

[FStop7]

I hope they do MG Scanlon: Peace Ryckert and Metal Gear Rising: Danvengeance

Might as well do Ground Zeroes, too

They are doing Ground Zeroes, but they aren't doing Peace Walker.

 

[kai3345]

I really want Drew to play Rising. Doubt he will tho

 

[Archaix]

Every time Metal Gear 4 tries to be serious is when I'm laughing hardest. God I hate this game.

 

[PinkCrayon]

Peace Walker is probably more boring to watch than it is to play.

 

[Curufinwe]

He needs Jeff by his side for that. Dan wouldn't be much help.

 

[OdysseusVA]

When does MGS5 take place?

Im so confused

 

[Megasoum]

Im so confused

Between 3 and Metal Gear 1 (the NES one)

well I guess before MGS1 too


... I think?

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Watching UPF now, this yoga game is AMAZING

wow so much better then I ever expected it to be.
Looks like a lot of fun

 

[Felix Lighter]

The original MGS wasn't consider crazy at the time because at the time we were trained to suspend our disbelief to a higher degree when playing Japanese, dialog/story heavy games. You chalked up a lot of the awkwardness and strangeness to translation issues and different cultural expectations. Resident Evil actually was attempting cinematic gameplay as well, and the story stuff was hilarious if you didn't choose to look past it.

It wasn't until MGS2 that they blew through that suspension of disbelief.

 

[BearPawB]

I think MGS2 is the highpoint of the series for me. It is the best Stealth Action Game. I loved going around, sneaking, holding people up.

 

[AuthenticM]

This would be fantastic.

 

[skLaFarebear]

They should sit Dan down too so he can see how awesome MGR actually is!.

 

[CambriaRising]

When does MGS5 take place?

Im so confused

1984, 20 years after Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, and 11 years before Metal Gear 1 (NES/MSX)

 

[KingKong]

Ah cmon Dan, there's no case to be made that 4 is the best MGS, in fact I wouldn't trust anyone who says MGS4 is their favorite

 

[tchocky]

When does MGS5 take place?

Im so confused

1985 I think, ten years after Ground Zeroes.

 

[tryagainlater]

Thanks Drew, Jason and Dan for a great series.

Rather than Drew, I want to see Brad play Rising because he's teased playing it for his last two Extra Lives and then refused to play it for some reason once the chat kept suggesting it. It's the best Metal Gear since 2.
"Kids are cruel, Jack, and I'm very in touch with my inner chiiiiiiiiild".
What a dumb awesome game.

 

[Megasoum]

Hahaha, forgot about Jeff's MGS story summary at the beginning of the PC Rising quicklook.

 

[Wunder]

Mmm, just finished MGScanlon. Man what a series, WHAT A SERIES

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

But the Patriots weren't all that fooled to begin with. They knew about Ocelot as a threat and orchestrated Rat Patrol, DREBIN, Naomi, and--effectively--Philanthropy/Snake-Otacon into taking down Liquid. They underestimated Naomi and couldn't account for Sunny and, in the end, were basically reset to their original purpose of maintaining the world, free to mutate again in the future.
Edit: The Patriots also planned MGS 2 to test the SSS. Despite a crippling of GW, the system worked and allowed for the other AIs to compensate and take their control to the individual level. The funding of Philanthropy just seemed like covering their tracks.

But Ocelot is not Liquid (in the pure sense) they knew how to manage liquid but Ocelot was another story. One flaw of the Ai was that depended on repetition to see the patterns that could be the best curse of action. That's why Ocelot made that insane plan to them to not suspect there were other cards under the table. (the virus, Big Boss resurrection, that GW was reconstructed)

Its ok Dan, we all cried during the Raiden and Rose scene. Those MGS2 memories.

 

[OdysseusVA]

MGS is weird and confusing

Im watching Dan and Drew attempting to put the pieces together

MGS5 Rorie GOTY

I bet it's going to take forever for Drew to get through 5 when he can't play it during working hours

Unless they play through the whole thing on video and only release it in a year to celebrate year 2 of MGScanlon.

 

[Salty Catfish]

They mentioned possibly doing this on the Bombcast -- maybe recording it now and releasing it a few months down the line.

 

[wenis]

So what's the over/under that we'll encounter Raiden, Drebin, Solid, Liquid and Solidus as children in V?

the merchandising alone....

I'm pretty sure we'll see at least young liquid if the trailers are anything to go by.

But who knows maybe it's just a young child who has hypotized himself into thinking he's liquid.

 

[shadyspace]

I'm an hour into this Peace Walker video Dan mentioned. The story is pretty good so far for similar reasons as to why Snake Eater is easily the strongest stand-alone narrative of the MGS games. Liking all this Cold War era Latin America stuff.

 

[tryagainlater]

I really wish Dan would stop saying Solidus is a good guy when he led a child soldier army.

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

Great, now I'm just watching this instead of finishing the last half hour of episode 15.

Sounds like a job creator to me

Guessing it's this one.

(Searching for that also turned up a video of the Paz date. This stupid series lol)

 

[skLaFarebear]

Gonna miss you MGScanlon (unless they do 5 and upload it at a later date). Fantastic series and my favorite one on the site since I've started watching Giant Bomb a year ago.

 

[Typographenia]

Dang it, Dan, Decoy Octopus drained the Darpa Chief's blood for his disguise.
I thought you liked that game!

[skLaFarebear]

Didn't realize how polarizing Rising is on the GB site. Some commenters on the site really hate it to the point of it not even existing. I know about not reading GB website comments and all that, but I can actually understand why people dislike it since its such a different game and doesn't add anything to the story, which most people play Metal Gear for.

In general most of the fans don't even play character action games and can't really tell a good one from a bad one because of their lack of experience with the genre, but are just playing it because it has the metal gear name on it. Kind of reminds me of Persona 4 Arena where a good number of Persona 4 fans really dislike those games because of how different it is and how it adds nothing to the story/characters, even though its a really solid fighting game.

Though it is pretty ironic that people complain about Rising being cheesy and/or poorly voice acted, like MGS isn't remotely cheesy or filled with characters with poor voice acting.

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

This whole conversation during the ending credits LOL. They're trying to make sense of two decades of retcons and terrible writing.

I finally have a respectable internet connection at home for the first time in a month or so. any particularly outstanding videos I missed? I saw the bridge builder thing.
