Button mashing isn't exactly a useful video game skill. Unless you're planning on entering the Olympics/Asura's Wrath/Cookie Clicker esports scene.

 

[dimb]

wait are you guys serious with this mashing stuff

It's only been a few days and there's already too much mash brothers coverage on the website.

 

[mattp]

I didn't realize until a few years ago that so many people had trouble with that part.

It's really hard to say stuff like that without sounding like a douchebag backhandedly saying "oh yeah I'm good at video games" :lol

yup, same here haha

 

[TromboneTony]

I remember Ocelot saying he would know if you used a turbo controller...

Spoiler

it's not true. That's the only way I got the good ending

Years of sf2 play had me more than ready for that. Them e Honda skills paid off.

Don't worry, my profile says I'm a cop.

 

[Dipper145]

Watching this metro redux video.. Clearly these games are not for Dan. He always manages to make me laugh though, just out of his stubborn opinions and general lack of information, and admitting proudly that he doesn't know stuff.

 

[fleck0]

eeeeeeh. Even then you can heal so much in between each "session".

But the game never tells you that. If you think those periods are the only chance you get to rest your hands between mashings it becomes much harder. I would have gotten the bad ending but I read that tip online when I couldn't believe how hard it was.

I always just give up during the sequence because I think it makes for a better story that feeds into MGS2 much better. Then stupid MGS4 had to come along.

Plus the Bonus item on your second playthrough is so much cooler if you fail.

MGS2 could work either way.

I dont think they mention Meryl once in that game?


But yeah. Then MGS4 came along and picked a ending and made Meryl have weird man shoulders.

Pretty sure they don't, but (MGS 1 Ending Spoilers)

Spoiler

Otacon's and Snakes interactions and start of a friendship in the "bad" ending sets up the start of Philanthropy more easily then them last speaking before the REX fight and him driving off with Meryl in my opinion.

Also, it more directly explains how Snake has infinite ammo when he meets up with Raiden inside Arsenal Gear

I think you mean the opposite.

You get the bandana for saving Meryl.

I guess Dan's the Karl Pilkington of Giant Bomb

I have no idea who Karl Pilkington is. But based on the number of times I've seen this very same comment in these threads, this must me the funniest damn joke in the world.

Truth.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I leave for a few hours and now this thread's posting Karl Pilkington pictures. Fuckin' YEAH!

 

[Jothel]

I met Karl in Tokyo, March of last year. He is exactly how you would expect him to be.

 

[SlowRevolution]

drew's "can cavemen impersonate faces" moment was more like karl pilkington than anything dan's ever said

 

[FStop7]

Just wanted to mention that as of 9/14 it's been 2 years since the glorious day that was #TEAMBRAD.

 

[Alfredo]

What was the name of that side scrolling barbarian game that Vinny played on, I believe, UPF once? If someone cold link me to that video, that'd be great.

I think the poster is talking Age of Barbarian

 

[Alfredo]

I think the poster is taking Age of Barbarian

Yes, that's the one! Thanks.

 

[Infinite Justice]

Yes, that's the one! Thanks.

no problem.

not sure what UPF that was though an i'm no longer a premium member to check it out.



In other news just checked that concept art thread supposedly leaking Guerilla Games new game and i think someone needs to send that pic to Patrick for his reaction lol

 

[Chance Hale]

5 minutes late on the Metal Gear Scanlon, tsk tsk tsk

 

[roytheone]

Ugh, all this button mashing talk reminds me of

Spoiler

the probe

qte in south park: the stick of truth. I was stuck there for quite some time, and had to game the system (by using the controller and keyboard at the same time) to pass it. The Sheva side of the final boss in re 5 also had a very hard one. Fuck button mashing qte, they are complete bullshit.

 

[GavinGT]

Looks like someone messed up with the auto-publishing.

 

[fleck0]

We all know Brad Is the Karl Pilkington of Giant Bomb. Have you heard the emails he picks!?

 

[BreezyLimbo]

oh god I need my scanlon fix nooooooo

 

[Indignate]

Where's the MGS?

Put it in my face.

 

[AcridMeat]

Reading through the last couple of pages thinking everyone was referring to the old Gamespot feature had me super confused.

Button Mashing the show was great. The game mechanic is pretty bad.

 

[demidar]

Yes, that's the one! Thanks.

I don't know why you are looking for that game in particular...

Maaaan, I set an alarm to wake me up and everything.

Maybe I should re-evaluate my life a little bit until it goes up.

Sorry, MGS is cancelled.
