oh my god that should be his code name in the game
Yep, "An error occured. Tap to retry." Probably has something to do with the change to the API that they're working on now.
So true. Listening to tapes at Mother Base is not a great idea. "Boss, even with the intel we gathered from the Soviet base // you don't know the awesomeness of a puppy's paw pads?"
his choice, that's all I can say

So far it's been perfectly fine so I imagine it will be fine when Scanlon 5 starts. I think I've looked at every spoiler tagged thing relating to MGSV that's been in this thread and most of it hasn't even been story stuff and any story stuff has been super early game.

it'll be different when people are discussing the events playing out in the videos though. ideally, folks will still spoiler tag their comments regarding what's in the videos but then we would find ourselves with a thread that looks like a redacted highly classified government document.

Any events that happen in a video will certainly be spoken about more loosely but I think it shouldn't be too bad for the most part. I think there shouldn't be too much worry if you're concerned about spoilers. Plus, huge plot events are so thinly spread out that it will be like 1 in at least every 20 pages that might enter spoiler territory.

Are they not going to do a Mad Max quick look, or did I just miss it?
It's up on the site right now, for some reason it's not on the Giant Bomb YouTube channel though.

Without spoiling anything for people who haven't played it, that won't work.

Guys forget about MGSV.
IAVT having this automatically makes it better than metal gear whatever.

The nemesis system alone makes Mordor. Everything else it has is fine, but it's all about the nemesis system. It's amazing.
Batman is just more bats but with crappy car segments. it's possibly the worst of the 3 main Arkham games.
Jeff's taste in games is extremely unpredictable.

The nemesis system is the most overblown thing about Mordor. It's not really that big of a deal.
I think all Warner Bros games are basically the same at this point, Batman combat and an open world.
They all just have different spins on the same basic concepts.
I personally didn't think too highly of the nemesis system but I suppose Jeff must have, still seems odd to me he wouldn't get more bored of it like he did with Batman.
lol, 100% true.

Yeah, even as a fan of the Vita game I'm not sure why'd I want to play a better looking, but worse controlling version of Tearaway for $40. That price is a bit much for a Vita remaster. I wouldn't be surprised if this fails to sell all that much better than the Vita version either.

that nemesis system was fantastic. You know how years ago people were hoping that other games took batman combat since combat was kinda garbage in other third person adventure games?
I hope the same happens with the nemesis system. A GTA or asscreed with that in place might actually get me to buy one of those games again
it could probably sell poorly relative to the PS4 base and still do better than how it did on the Vita

I kinda still want to play it, because I didn't get to play it on the Vita. I will wait though. This being a Sony title means there will be good sals down the line or it might end up being free.

yeah but check this out, i can make my helicopter play that song too

But can you uncontrollably shoot eye love lasers when your heart goes doki doki on the helicopter while playing that song?
I didn't watch the trailer when it came out because what kind of crazy person watches trailers, but this game seems to demand a cross-country Brad/Vinny quick look now that it's out. To give Brad a chance to put everything in proper context
other than Nintendo will content claim all your ad monies
It isn't just coffee. People always want to tell you how you should be eating and drinking.
Well I paid for this food, so if I want to have a well done steak with ketchup and wash it down with a 15 year old scotch and soda - fuck you if you don't like it and get out of my life.
I have to agree. It didn't work for me and apparently a lot of people on GAF too, probably because we never died. I think some refinements in the sequel could bring it up to amazing level because the base is there to be built on.

I can see how it wouldn't affect some players, but man, if it works, it really works and automatically solves a lot of problems with games like it.
It's a great system.
Please don't post anime links without mentioning it and pretending something good is behind it!

The nemesis system adds a lot of fun to Mordor but it feels like a base to built upon more than anything else. Most of the events like feasts and assassinations don't happen dynamically in the world. Instead you run to an icon on the map where nothing is happening, hit whatever, and all of a sudden there's a feast going on and a new mission. Hope in the next game that everything happens in the world on its own accord.
Going by reviews a majority of the game is new and what isn't is often rearranged completely so I don't see how it's not worth the price. Incredible production values, tons of new content, same charm, and so on. Still think the game is incredibly underrated, the end sequence of the Vita version is probably the most emotional reaction I've ever had to a game. Interested to see how it's recreated or changed.

Absolutely! I put ketchup on much of my Mexican food in defiance of my Hispanic friends.

Yeah, I didn't get it either. It really didn't appear to make any meaningful difference to gameplay for me -- granted, I only put about five hours into the game before I got completely bored with it and traded it in. But still, it was just like... OK, every once in a while I'll kill a dude that causes a menu to appear where that random dude disappears, then another random dude from a lower grid row on that menu moves up into his spot, and then.... that's it? Like, I don't know why I was supposed to care. It's not like they were actually any different than any other slightly-higher-difficulty lieutenant or chief-type enemies, they just had a random name slapped on them and a menu told me they were "special." Eh.

so are we in the food discussion portion of the thread again?
because fuck you monsters with that ketchup on a steak nonsense. Bet you like your steaks well done, too, like youre eating a leather boot or some shit.

I don't usually put ketchup on anything but burgers and hotdogs - but if someone starts I will squeeze that shit on everything just to annoy them.
I once ended a promising relationship over wasabi. Don't test me.

Steak doesn't have to be all rare. Trust me, I'll eat my beef raw, but I can appreciate a good shaking beef as well.

Enemies you killed would often come back multiple times if you didn't execute them with different buffs depending on how you killed them and reference that manner as well. Creates some fun scenarios where one guy just keeps coming back again and again like in a horror movie.
I loved the nemesis system and completely agree with Mordor being on the top of game of the year lists. I only played the first half last year because it didn't have much staying power, but I played through the first city in just about one power session, then three months later played through the second area and loved both halves. It worked in the setting (most games would have obvious difficulties with the "repeatedly kill the same enemy" concept) and was a lot more fun than any game's random open world missions to mess around with.

with that, it's like, i don't get to eat (good) steak all that often so seeing someone prepare something i could be enjoying badly hurts my soul

I don't like steak that much. Beef in almost any other form > a steak. The only time a steak is great is when it's hibachi-d.
Surely the savage way to eat meat is as raw as possible.

Seriously.
I'll take the tongue and tail over any steak any day.
The tongue is like the most tender and beefy steak you'll ever eat but people ignore it because ew tongue I guess.
Jamaican oxtail curry is soooo good.
