How is MGScanlon V, relative to the other games, so far?

More enjoyable since the game is mechanically simpler and the open nature of it means Drew can kinda just futz around and it still ends up in him progressing. There's still some stuff that he does that gets grating because of Dan's inability to explain stuff, but Drew is getting a lot less frustrated and that makes it more palatable. It's not the way I'd play the game, but whatever. He's having fun.

Do wish he wouldn't stick to using the Sneaking Suit, though. Logically he must understand that he's going to be spotted if he's wearing a big black suit in the middle of the desert. :lol

Drew's right, Vantage Point isn't very good.

It's like someone decided to make Rashomon but let's make every perspective the same and edit it like the "Previously on" segments you see after commercials on reality TV.
 
Jesus fuck the ending of SOMA is heeeeeaaaaaavy. I really hope one of the guys beats it, because that's definitely one of the 10 best games of the year.

Now I just want to sit and think. Then wake up everyone in my family and tell them I love them.
The story was really surprising, one of the best of the year.
Fuck the Abyss section

I beat it last night. Soo good! Absolutely in my top 5 this year. Austin definitely needs to play it, he's the guy I would love to hear talk about SOMA.

Ending bits:
I wouldn't say I was particularly surprised by the (pre-credits) ending, but I don't think I was supposed to be. Like Catherine said, Simon should have fucking understood how it works by now. That didn't take away from the impact, though. Hearing Simon break down was really effective despite his voice acting being uneven throughout.

Did you kill the WAU or spare it?

Fist-fucked the shit out of that asshole! What happens if you don't?

It's kind of interesting how the "horror" plot (Wau, Alpha, creepy ghost man) and the sci-fi plot (Catherine, the space gun, etc) exist totally separate from one another. Neither affects the other, in the end.

You guys sold me on SOMA. I'm gonna get that.

Good decision!

Not much changes. The WAU is obviously still alive and you keep your arm, but events still proceed as normal. It's just there to allow the player to make their own choice based on if they think the WAU should be killed for the decision it made.

It's really good, I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did.
 
yeah, nope, No Man's Sky still looks like magic

Between this and Elite: Dangerous's upcoming planetary landings expansion, I may put a lot of games I plan on playing on hold for months. I have an uncontrollable urge to do everything in my power to increase the immersion in these space flight games. I have a HOTAS and TrackIR but by the time No Man Sky launches I hope to have some sort of VR headset as well. I just want to be a spaceman.

It's great that a HOTAS is now a viable purchase with No Man's Sky, Elite, and Star Citizen. I can't wait to get one myself.
 
Oh yeah, I also bought Voice Attack so I could use voice commands as well. I needed the ability to say "Engage" to activate my frameshift drive. It was very important for the quality of the experience.

I'm trying to convince Anjin M to make the next OT, but in the meantime I need some title suggestions for the Giant Bomb #17 thread.
 
My mindset while playing is that Big Boss doesn't have time to waste for that crap, so it's ASAP all the time.

yup. plus, enemies start adapting to your style of play so there will be more soldiers with NVG and flashlights if you're always going in at night. To keep them on their toes, i just go whenever so they never know what's coming.

The Beastie Boys are the first hip hop group in years to have something to say
I wish you could get a holo or reflex sight for all pistols.
 
Love watching Drew play MGSV, his approach to the game is so different from mine. Kicking that one dude on the ground was just straight up nasty!

So how important is interrogating guys? The completionist in me is a bit bothered that Drew barely does it at all. I think I would interrogate and fulton everyone, just for the off chance of getting something useful sometimes.

These are the choices.

That gets my vote.
