I've made the same mistake Drew made during my early hours with MGSV.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Yeah, I managed to do that during the CQC tutorial.

 

[Jothel]

this is a bad game

Great post but... Every paragraph just made me wanna play it more

 

[DamnBoxes]

Let's all get some sleep; need to be well rested to cheer on #TeamRyckert.

 

[MadLaughter]

Haha, I didn't even know you could get a game over by killing your own dudes on mother base.

I deliberately tried this eventually. KO'd someone, hoisted them up, then chucked them off the edge with R2. Same result.

 

[Frenden]

Haha, I didn't even know you could get a game over by killing your own dudes on mother base.

During the fulton tutorial on Mother Base, the first time I had autonomy on it, I through a guy over the rail and got a mission fail for it.

 

[Twin Tails]

I'm looking for some mgsv mods, and what>?
he..
!!!!

 

[Chance Hale]

Damn, I sure get distracted easily (check the dates for the achievements)

 

[NumberThree]

Damn, I sure get distracted easily (check the dates for the achievements)

Did you continue with your old save each time or start over? I find it really difficult to continue from an old save after a long break.

I think I liked Alan Wake way more than most people.

That FIFA QL, wow. I think I forgot just how funny a Quick Look can be.

[BanGy.nz]

I've slammed my head against the Dan's level for 15 minutes and now hate the website giant bomb dot com.

 

[AcridMeat]

Right when I was ready to back out of the no producer livestream, the final shot happened and I can go to bed laughing.

 

[Myggen]

Oh, and you can just do the 900 on flat ground over and over and over again.

Haha, that's great.

Also, "You're a demon" is already a classic GB moment, holy shit that's funny.

 

[oti]

Playing through Max Payne 3 for the 9th time

I really disliked this game. I don't know why but I just did.

 

[kAmui-]

What the hell is this. I started watching the latest MGScanlon episode and just then realised that I haven't even finished the previous one.

"I piss 500G through my penis" is a real quote from Mr. Jeffrey Gerstmann

I watched that video two days ago and it's still as funny as it ever was.

Not a fan of how much influence Dan has on Drew. Both in MGS and outside.

You seriously sound like my mom right now.

Your mom is a fan of MGScanlon?

 

[Antiwhippy]

Your mom is a fan of MGScanlon?

She's always lamenting about how certain people influence my life AND also my playthrough of MGSV.

She's very pure about her MGSV play.

I heard your mom likes a stealthy playthrough.

Spoiler

You know what I'm saying?

 

[Blastoise]

Whatever.

I just wanted Drew to use his own head. I feel like even though Dan tells Drew to do his own thing. Drew still ends up doing it Dans way (if that makes sense).

It would've been good to watch Drew play this himself. Even if it ends up being 200 episodes. Drew seems like he wants to finish the game asap.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I dunno, he's been on record saying that he dislikes open worlds due to how aimless it feels and that he was unsure about the open world aspect of V, so I don't think him wanting to finish the game ASAP is something dan is influencing.

 

[StopMakingSense]

I have to resub so I haven't watched the past couple eps, have they figured out how to overhand throw items yet?

 

[Blastoise]

Dan's just influencing his play style.

Drew's the one that wants the game done quick. I mean he's a busy man. Him and Dan put out way more content than Brad and Jeff.

But whatever I'm just being nit picky.

Don't follow her advice, live your own life.

Nah that's fine, I also agree even if I don't really mind it, I just find the comment funny because talking about how Dan is influencing Drew's life sounds like something my mom would say.

That guy's a bad influence etc. Etc.

 

[Cronen]

Nope! Although, I haven't seen this newest episode yet, so you never know!

Did you just imply your mum is a bad influence?

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I'M so close to stop playing MGSV myself and just watch Drew do it. Seems way more fun.

 

[Blastoise]

Dan's influence on Giant Bomb has been great. I was being playful.

Anyway, they were talking about how good Saving Pvt Ryan was in MGS. I wish they would do a Film and 40's with that movie.

 

[demidar]

Yeah Dan as a guide is fine, if only to hurry up the completion of the game. It's so long otherwise.

 

[Noray]

I played 111 hours of the game and never figured that out because afaik it's not stated anywhere.

 

[tchocky]

Dan told him in today's episode.

 

[kiyomi]

The game is way more fun to play than it is to watch because you know the options that you have, whereas watching someone who doesn't have a good grasp of what's happening can be frustrating.

I'm in the camp of wishing Drew used his brain a little more, but this has been the most entertaining MGS to date because Drew actually seems to be having fun most of the time. Dan is Dan, aka a Cardboard Box.

But I'm not really having fun playing it. :/ I just find it tedious. It doesn't work for me.

Most of the missions might as well be randomly generated. And the rest...well that's kinda on me, I admit that. I want to play the game as a Stealth game because I love Stealth games. But then the mission throws me on one side of the map and expects me to get to the other side. So I can either haul ass and probably get spotted along the way or take my time and run through an empty area for 15 minutes. I just don't think the open world approach works for a stealth game.

 

[funkystudent]

I wish Drew listened to tapes more.


And they put auto play on instead of doing 1 at a time. Its real easy to just bang a bunch of tapes out that way.

Chaotic when used wrongly but gets you out of a tight spot in the end?

I guess I just found the open world really worked well for my own brand of stealth because it allowed me to approach bases how I wanted, and the toolset lets you be sufficiently creative to where it doesn't get overly repetitive. If you're not enjoying it though then that's that.

I kinda feel Drew would play the same way if Dan wasn't there. Maybe he would take his time more if he wasn't streaming it but even then I doubt it, given how he basically brute forced his way through the other games.

Yeah, I'm just ruining the game for myself most of the time. I'm too pedantic for it. But I can't help it.

My suggestion has always been that Drew plays the side ops + listen to the tapes at home and then he'd come back for the next episode, do a small debriefing about what he heard and did then starts continuing on the main story missions.

 

[tchocky]

I hope Vinny takes a look at this game.

 

[Noray]

I agree but I think Drew doesn't actually want to do the Side Ops at all. Like, he's extremely reluctant and basically had to be forced to do one to get the med bay cut scene. Plus he said himself "I'd rather just get on with it" and has said he doesn't like open-world games because he becomes paralyzed with indecision. He doesn't even wanna stop to Fulton dudes that aren't on the critical path. I think he's having a good time but it seems to be in spite of the game's open world format and structure, whereas that's very much what I enjoyed about, up to a point (there are way too many Side Ops with the same objectives)

Well, since he can't do the story missions at home because we want to see him go through it, his only choice is to play side-ops. This will have many benefits later down the road for him in terms of the equipment he can chose to develop aside from that he can listen and digest what he heard from the tapes so he could talk about it with Dan when he's recording.

Overall though, I can tell he's enjoying the game alot as any sane person should. Everything just feels great to do in the game.

 

[danm999]

Most side ops are pretty boring really. Eliminated armoured units for the umpteenth time is pretty tedious. Looking back I really wish someone told me to just do the Wandering Motherbase Soldier and translator ones and leave it at that.

Yeah, with few exceptions, the side ops are pretty much this game's version of the "fetch quest". Its just straight up padding. I can totally understand Drew not wanting to do them on camera or in his own time.
