The 100 Mario Challenge levels are god awful 75% of the time. Kind of ruined my enjoyment of the game. That, combined with the fact that I spend a ton of time on levels that no one plays.

Yo that fucking cutscene just after tho.
You think that is bad...

I'm more likely to agree with that than it not coming out in 2015.
Wow, that sounds great and broken.

I just tranq pistol sniped her like I do pretty much everybody else in the game. S-rank'd.

Bad? The only bad part was the muteness of Big Boss.
Oh, no doubt. She is the best and most flexible buddy in the game, and the most interesting new character in the game (not a high bar though).
There are lots of bad things about this game as a MGS.

I wanted to try sneaking up on her and holding her up like The End, but she was too good for that and I ended up eating a bunch of grenades. Its such a cool boss fight.

My research team developed teleportation before they figured out how to develop non-slutty clothes for her, but I now feel way less creepy taking her along

Yeah, I was really surprised to see Brad write about the story improvements in his review after I finished the game. He was speaking as though the game did away with bullshit explanations for things and made things and was more down to earth, but I felt like the whole thing ended up being nothing but bullshit explanations for things.

I had DD during that mission and was shamed by his barks and needs for me to help him find this chump of a sniper.

the secret to S ranking missions is to just not give a shit and be sloppy. Most of my S-ranks are missions where I thought I did awful.

he either didn't listen to a lot of endgame tapes or chose to exclude them then because hoooly shit the pretzel logic and retconning that goes on within those is mindwarping

It's one thing that urks me about the game. It cares too much about time spent and so little about cleanliness of the job.

I hope the only tapes Brad listened to the whole game were the
tapes.
Kaz's perfect hamburger
Yeah, I think Brad definitely skipped some important side ops and tapes as he specifically mentioned at least one thing that he thought lacked an explanation when it was pretty thoroughly covered in the tapes.
Relatively late game spoiler about what I'm talking about here:
He was wondering who the Man on Fire was, when there's like 3 tapes saying, "He's Volgin. The Man on Fire is Volgin. Volgin was really angry and is now on fire."
Or maybe, per Basileus777, he hadn't gotten there yet. I got the impression he was past this point though.

Brad hadn't even finished the game at that point.
Edit: Nevermind, this is about the review.

Sony's TGS show was really good. Except for Capcom's stuff. Why even show up?
any megatons?
Mister Negative

I hope today's podcast is essentially an MGSV spoilercast. They should have all finished the game by this point considering where they were last time right?
Unless Drew is on, then they can't talk about it at all.

One of the few times (in terms of narrative) where i was like "yup, this is totally a metal gear game." Wish there were more tapes like that with each character.

No, but lots of good support. And Capcom.
Actually, Ni-Oh, a game announced in 2005, being real and looking awesome is kind of a megaton, I guess.

they're fantastic. one of the best parts of the game and I'm not joking.
I was going to disagree with you, saying that I find at least 4 or 5 worthwhile levels in the 100 Mario Challenge when I play it.
Then I realized that was just agreeing with you. I guess we have different standards for user created content. 1 in 4 being fun when you're getting random levels is pretty great as far as I'm concerned.

I just remember what a turd sandwich a majority of LBP levels were that whenever i encounter a good stage in any game that allows for player created stages I just end up really appreciating the non-crappiness of it so much that i quickly forget that it took me like 5-8 tries to find a good one
Maybe some folks didn't go through that with LBP so you dont have a tolerance for how terribad player created stages in games can be

I really hope they keep this up as a series and keep adding to it, will likely pick this up. Just got ideas I want to try for myself but would love just like the grand daddy of Mario maker tools, including options for tiered mushrooms and slopes, checkpoints and huge bullet bills.
Also definitely think star rating are not enough to describe stages, people like different things.
Still, I want, will get.
I'm glad they lot you follow creators. I used to rely on that a lot after a while with LBP on vita.

Huh, I read the review, I must have missed that. I only read him equivocating with unusual story structure, as if one couldn't conclusively call it good or bad.

honestly, they're doing people a favor. With zero hyperbole, i can put my half a game's worth of time with MGSV already into one of my top 10 games ever. The latter half of MGSV could just be Kojima's gaping asshole farting onto the screen at 480i and 10 fps and I would still declare it the best game I've played in years. I can't remember having this much trouble putting a controller down since RDR.
So hopefully those that haven't played it and are patiently waiting for the series to start pick up a copy sometime. It's such a fucking treat to play this yourself and unlike some of the older games it is completely competent gameplay wise when compared to its modern peers.
Thanks!
Absolutely. I hadn't watched the Contradiction videos, nice.
Oh what the hell. I've had that side ops sitting there for like 6 hours because I didn't need it, while focused on getting silenced tranq snipers...
Haha after I was hit once with her I hid in cover
and decided to bombard her ass. It worked great.

Him talking about the games story showing "restraint" in his review is what I was referring to; he just went deeper into this on the podcast.
