I could watch for one episode to maybe hear a flustered Dan ask Drew why he doesn't just like normal cool guy games.

I fell asleep watching the latest VinnyVania and don't want to rewind to see where I nodded off. I'm assuming he made no progress.

That fight is such a satisfying ending for the series, the added touch of going through the various games with the different life bars, music and even changing camera angles is some real good fan service on top of an already great sequence.
It would have been super cool if Richard Doyle was the voice actor for Boss in MGSV. I think he sounds awesome and has this serious tone. Much better than David or Kiefer.
I played MGS4 a few months ago but seeing the game again with Drew and Dan playing was a blast. The ending is so good, love it.

Doesn't come close but the post-OOT Zelda games love piling on the nostalgia.

Don't worry, we can forgive you for crying at the Raiden and Rose scene. It's pretty emotional.

Finally finished Metal Gear Scanlon. Man, MGS4 does such an amazing job giving emotional closure to all the characters from 1 and 2. That final fight with Ocelot brings everything full circle in such a fantastic way. It's just so brutal and well choreographed. As sappy as they are, I also love all the closing scenes the other characters get at the end. Say what you will about how stupid and over the top the overall story is, the way it caps everything off emotionally is why I love that game. I'm not sure what MGS5 could do to be even close to the fitting finish to the series is that MGS4 is, from that standpoint.
Also, Yoji Shinkawa is up there with Kunio Okawara as one of the greatest mechanical designers of all time. Every thing he does is so damn great. Outer Haven in particular is such a damn beautifully designed thing. Wherever Kojima goes next, I sure hope he continues that collaboration.

I agree with you there. The Zelda fanboy in me always loves references, especially with regards to the timeline.
It's art.

Well, it's pretty much going to fill in the last real gaps of the series that need fleshing out, and hopefully it'll end the series where it began. I'll be kind of bummed out if the post-credits stinger isn't
a codec call between Big Boss and Solid Snake initiating Operation Intrude N313.
I said it earlier in the thread, but if MGS5 ended with that codec and then an actual 3D Remake of MG1 where you play as Solid Snake, that would be amazing. Considering Outer Heaven might be a modeled environment for the game anyway (assuming it's just your Mother Base you're building in the game), it might actually not be an insanely expensive thing to do. That would be the best possible way to close the series off.

Shit, it'd be pretty incredible if the base you work on all throughout the game ends up being Outer Heaven, and the more you put into it, the harder the end of the game is.
You're right. Dan's already played the Halo games though.

The whole he had a tough life bit definitely hit me as well, but I think it was more due to realisation that this was the last game with these characters rather than being bummed about Snake.

I hadn't seen that ending before. Holy shit, that was awful.
One day that will be Matt Kessler and then the world will end.

MS is never gonna let Dave Lang on a stage are they?
If they ever want him there, they have his number.

I work with Sony and Microsoft dev relation guys on a daily basis... I dream of the day when I will receive an email from Kessler in my inbox lol.

the only real option is drew walking dan through DCS
flight club 2.0
Speaking of flight club, what other features did they mention during the BLLSL? I remember flight club and Alex playing bad games but can't remember what else.
Dan's 'good guy/bad guy' mentality: another thing on the list of 'goddamnit dan'
Blight Club.
edit: I should've read that one more time, thought you were asking about the name of that feature. I don't have an answer to your question. Don't think there were any more.

They are already playing through the Castlevania series, so Blight Club is unnecessary

I don't think he considered it much deeper than the enemy of my enemy is my friend thing. Solidus was a Patriot stooge until he fucked up.
ARGHHHHHHHH *head in hands*
It's true though. That scene is glorious in every way.

That would have made more sense than paying Kiefer all of that money for how little he seems to speak. Maybe I'm wrong here, but I don't think there's a bunch of Kiefer fans that don't play games that will suddenly go out and buy the fifth game in a series because his voice is in it.
It's pretty clear that the only reason Kojima cast Kiefer was for the his own personal satisfaction.
