Someone is a "bunch of dicks."
I also just went and watched that TANG, and good lord none of the voices fit at all.
Max redeemed.
Taako all day every day, though they're all great. I suppose my favorite NPC would either be that first boss they meet obsessed with tea or the depressed bard they meet at the bureau.
Another weak of "wtf Konami" on the Beastcast then.
If you don't mind the hassle, you could easily sell the sets and make nearly all your money back. If you waited until the go out of print in like a year, you could even make a profit. Lego holds value really well. The few sets I've bought and built I've sold a year later and made like at least 60% profit even open and built.
that's so terrible and petty that it wraps around to being funny again
instead of making a lauded game even better, they seem hell-bent on making it worse
I know you're serious about Legos since you called them Lego.
Yet another reason MGSV doesn't deserve GOTY. This is getting fucking disgusting.

I mean at this point what does Konami have to lose? They're getting out of traditional games pretty much. They don't mind burning bridges while trying to make as much as they can on the way out.
What happened now?

Was it Polygon for writing a story about it and making a mountain out of a molehill?
Haha. Nope. I've just listened to Tested talk about them way too much. I've bought like 3 Star Wars kits (1 of them being the UCS shuttle) and ended up selling them later on to buy collectable crap I actually care about. I did buy a crap ton of Bionicle back in the day and it's been hard to resist the urge of the new sets.
It's not too late for the plebs to jump ship to Mario Maker GOTY 2015.
True. Time to skin the sheep I guess. Fuck shearing it.
I like the voice Griffin uses for the Director, and also the precocious child detective
He didn't say Polygon but yeah, it was Polygon.
MGSV is GOTY for me despite all the FOB-online and resource management crap. I had a ton of fun and the game gave me enough without having to engage with any of that.
That's not to say this isn't massive bullshit. It is. Especially on PC where the FOB system is just a haven for hackers and cheaters with Konami just standing by not giving a single shit to try and preserve what little integrity the system has. I just think the game raises far past these dumb systems and pretty poor story (even disregarding the drama around the ending).

the title is a little deceptive. it's not a tax, it's just the rebalancing patch for FOBs has put more resources online and placed some caps on offline amounts in certain circumstances.
it's still shitty though. it's near enough strong-arming players into going online but not providing enough tangible benefits to doing so. it's just trying to introduce more people into their microtransaction ecosystem, but in probably the most haphazard way possible.

Final Fantasy Spirits Within is the real GOTY.
Konami does Konami things. I'm impressed that people still have the will to be angry about it.
Its the problem with users making the titles. Don't understand what's happening so they use the wrong words for it. Had to read several posts before I actually understood what it was.

When I bought my gameboy advance as a child i had a choice between advance wars and super dodgeball advance
I chose super dodgebal advance. i made the right choice.
as a result I have yet to ever play an advance wars game

I think what sucks on the PC side was that even though I wanted to engage with the FOB invasion stuff, I was actively pushed away because of all the cheating. Put your FOB online? Prepare for hackers to come into your base, instantly put all your guys to sleep at once, be unkilable if you are there to defend, and then just watch as they fulton all your dudes away and steal all your shit. You also have zero way to report them, so there is no repercussion for cheating. It's terrible.
i love a-wars 2 and 3. 4 is decent.
i really miss the music actually. great little tunes.
Yes!!
Love Lang's podcast, I can listen to him talk about his crazy travel stories all day.
yeah. for a minute i thought a new patch had come out to introduce an actual tax system.
Yeah it's a beyond broken ecosystem that simply means if you want to play online at all you're encouraged to pour good resources after bad and engage in some mad cheating arms race to the mutual detriment of all.
Oh shit! It's a metaphor for nuclear proliferation.
I've been playing a little Advance War with my Wii U lately and it's a great before bed game.

The patch stuff does not ruin the experience I had with the original game, which was amazing.
It makes me infinitely depressed that someone will play this with all the garbage thrown in.

Today is not a good day for el Jefe.
Jeff wasn't even mad about the character, just worried about the likeness. Way to blow shit out of proportion Polygon.
He also briefly vented about something on mixlr. He wasn't specific, but did use the term "shitbags".

Well, stuff like that is all in the cutscenes which are part of the base game.

If they were still playing the game, you might have a point. They probably don't give a shit what happens to the game now since they're all pretty much done playing it besides Drew. And Drew doesn't seem like the person to care much about the specific numbers, since he cares much more about actually playing the game.

How will this FOB stuff affect Drew's MGSV experience? Is he online?
skLaFarebear

You can't get online until much farther from where he is. Who knows what the game will even look like by the time he reaches any FOB stuff, but Dan will probably instruct him through it regardless.

Oh right. I wasn't thinking about how, uh... late that stuff comes into play.
It'll affect Drew and by extension, Dan and J-son.
I'd imagine Konami isn't done, either. If they're going this far, the farming spots are next.
Edit: Man, all of this the same year as the Witcher 3 and it's free DLC stuff. Whodathunk.

If it's a tight argument anything can be relevant. The GOTY awards can get weird that way.
Though honestly that game has other, more obvious things to knock it for if that's what someone is going for.

I really can't see how.
You're right. Nothing's ever set in stone. If it does manage to hit the "start listing the negatives" it can get pretty shaky, though I imagine it goes both ways for stuff like MM.
True, then stuff like "I wish the filtering was better" will come up.
