I hated PW on PSP but did a complete 180 on it when the HD version was released. The addition of a second analog stick, 60fps, and online play is what did it for me.

 

[skLaFarebear]

So have any of the crew addressed how fucking miserable their video player is?

HTML5 + HD works perfectly for me.

 

[Phatmac]

It's funny because he says the PSP sucked and the Vita isn't much better but I remember him saying how much he liked playing Rogue Legacy on the thing and that he liked playing MGS 1-3 on the Vita.

Guess he doesn't think to hard about what he says at times.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

He's pretending to not know the truth for some reason.

Spoiler

He also considers her going so far to ensure peace a personal betrayal. Because, you know, he's a crazy person.

Not even her, a robot version of her created from scraps of memories by a scientist in love with her.

Boy when Dan says he would retaliate a nuke attack, Drew does the greatest, most worried, double take through his eyes.

 

[shadyspace]

Man, you think what with The Boss being on the forefront of Big Boss' mind pretty much constantly that he would have thought twice about being a mentor who betrays his protege.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Drew confused the prime minister of Japan, who is a lunatic hardliner who would never recognize, let alone apologize for Japan's wartime atrocities, with the emperor of Japan.

Also, Dan's (who is probably relying on this game and common knowledge) and this game's insistence that Japan doesn't have a standing army is false. Article 9 is a load of bullshit and it's amazing that so many people have been convinced Japan has a pacifist constitution. Conversely, Costa Rica actually does have one.

No, the initial decision to die to preserve peace during the cold war.

I think Dan thinks Pearl Harbor is the worst thing Japan did during World War 2.

otherwise why would they be named a self defence force?

I've been catching up on the Metal Gear Scanlon stuff. What a blast! Hopefully I can get through them all before September 1st.

Just like the Department of Defense.

[EdReedFan20]

Huh, maybe they won't do GZ on Thursday. Dan said something to the effect of "if Drew Plays GZ before TPP..." That makes me think they don't have plans to do a playthrough for Thursday.

 

[skLaFarebear]

"Hey we completed Metal Gear ZEKE"

Drew's reaction was amazing lmao

 

[Flandy]

How on earth did Dan think it was implied that Strangelove was Hueys Mom? Is he crazy or am I crazy and missed something?

I'm pretty sure he meant Hal, not Huey. Or else that would be some creepy grandfather complex.

I knew the second Paz said the word "Cipher" that Dan was going to immediately tell Drew what that was. Christ, wait the two minutes for the game to explain it.

Was that miller or Ocelot at the end?

I love that Dan didn't bother explaining that the entire ending section after the credits requires hours and hours of tedious grinding. He just let drew believe it was all after the credits stuff :lol

Miller

 

[shadyspace]

Man, that was frustrating. The only redeemable thing about that Pacifica Ocean garbage is the realization that she's an agent of The Patriots. It's actually a pretty cool revelation if, you know, actually get to experience it.

Did you even see the last scene with Huey and Strangelove

 

[funkystudent]

Who knows. Peace Walker is like 7 years before Hal is born anyway.


TPP is a year or two after and Huey is still hanging around doing stuff so I guess we will find out then!


But it probably is Strangelove because that seems like the Kojima thing to do. Every character is important and someones parent or secretly someone from the future games but hella young.

 

[EdReedFan20]

I'm pretty sure he meant Hal, not Huey. Or else that would be some creepy grandfather complex.

I'm surprised they didn't remember the story about Huey's death from MGS1. If you recall, Hal had an affair with his step-mother, leading his father to commit suicide. The Emmerich family seems to be followed by a cloud of misery.

 

[LiK]

jesus, just finished it. i thought it ended perfectly but then Kojima decides to extend it beyond its scope.

also had to skim through some stuff Dan was talking about in GZ/MGSV. i've been avoiding the trailers and Dan was spoiling too much for me. i don't wanna know anything about it.

[hamchan]

Yeah I'm so glad they didn't bother to play through this whole game. Weakest in both story and gameplay. They did it the best way.

 

[LiK]

Dan, it was Miller at the very very end. Well, that makes things quite interesting when I get into GZ this week.

 

[yami4ct]

Man, Tara Strong has a ton of range. She's in everything.

She's really good. She's one of those VAs you don't really realize is in everything until someone lists off her credits. Many of her roles sound like completely different people.

She's also a super nice person. I'm always surprised how cool VAs are when you meet them. I honestly can't think of one who was at all a jerk or anything. They're always super eager just to chat with their fans. It's great.

 

[Intheflorsh]

It's completely understandable, but it still bums me out that they're probably going to blow past MGR. You don't know what you're missing Drew!

 

[shadyspace]

I talked to some of the mega-MGS fans in the MGS5 hype thread about that and the consensus was that if you're wondering if you should be suspicious of Kaz, you shouldn't be.

"Stop telling me this stuff"

You tell him Drew!

She could be bisexual. After all she visibly hits on him.

You didnt remember either as its MGS2 where thats rebealed and it was such a small tidbit otacon threw out and was never recalled uppn

 

[Hyrule Warrior]

"Stop telling me this stuff"

lol, it only took him over 4 games to finally tell him that. I've been screaming that to my screen since MGS1.

 

[- J - D -]

Okay, I forget, by the end of Snake Eater wasn't Big Boss made aware that The Boss was indeed working for the US the entire time? I could have sworn that was the case but now in PW he's saying she was a traitor? Am I just mistaken about MGS3's ending or did Big Boss sign a pretty serious NDA or something?

I'm watching it right now and just caught up to the part you're talking about, and I was wondering the same thing. Did he forget what happened? Or...

Peace Walker spoilers:

Spoiler

At some point Big Boss says that he doesn't buy the reason from MGS3's ending because it could have been part of the cover-up. Can't remember if this is covered in a cutscene or on one of the cassette tapes.

Wut?

Spoiler

He also considers her going so far to ensure peace a personal betrayal. Because, you know, he's a crazy person.

WUT?


You guys being real? This all sounds super dumb.

 

[LiK]

Strangelove was such a shitty character. I don't think I learned much of her motives or who she really is. She's like a shittier Naomi. Need to read up on her.

 

[Flandy]

Yeah you have a point. I always just took that scene as her teasing Huey since he probably wouldn't ever be able to walk again.

 

[Cronen]

I'm currently watching Peace Walker on Youtube. Am about halfway through right now. Is it worth me going back and watching the MGScanlon video instead? Or is it better off maybe watching sometime down the line once I have actually seen all of Peace Walker for myself?

it's worth watching for their reactions. i honestly found the first 2/3 of the cutscenes sorta boring so it was nice to have some talking heads. the latter 1/3 was pretty well done tho. i'm personally not a fan of animated motion comics.

"That to me sounded like Ocelot"

Everyone else: "That sounds like Miller"

Dan should stick to wrestling.

Well, look at what Big Boss becomes in Metal Gear 1. Dude has some fucked up ideologies and is kind of a jerk even back in MGS3. A lot of his speeches on war are naive at best, outright insane at worst. It's not surprising he becomes more insane and more of an ideologue as we get closer to MG1 Big Boss.

More out there than MGS3 was, but not as nuts as 2 and 4.

Great video guys and I'm glad to remember some of the details I missed on my playthrough of PW. All we need is that GZ video and then Phantom Pain is here!
