Ah alright.
Y'know, I have never finished 3 and never played 4. Would be good to finally see the whole of this series through MGScanlon.

i'm glad they're playing it so people can see the best game in series. I think a lot of people missed out on it.

Their D&D game could really use someone like Spencer from Harmontown, if anyone has ever listened to that podcast. Someone to make the adventure and be able to quickly handle all the gamey stuff to basically just make the landscape for the guys to goof around in and make it fun to watch. Watching these last two episodes has made me realize just how much he does to make it all go smoothly for an hour every week.
I think Rorie can grow into the role. Even Spencer was too focused on keeping the campaign too gamey the first few rounds of harmontown dnd (everything was slow and revolved around some obtuse cavern puzzle) and backed off on that at the audiences suggestion.
I know they have limited time and everything, but man it really seems like they should have prepped for D&D more. All this character creation/test combat stuff should have happened off-camera and everyone should be roughly on the same page as the adventure begins, Episode 1.
I will never tire of it, it's so well done.
Somedaaay you gooo through the raaaiin
And some daaays you feeeeed on a treee froooog!

yeah but that's probably the best infodump in the whole series. Maybe the infodump at the end of the virtuous mission is better, i dunno, but tying MGS3 to the cold war in ways that actually kinda don't seem that far fetched is probably the reason that i love the beginning of MGS3 so much.

Hopefully they just play it enough for him to get in that role. I actually didn't know Spencer had a rough patch starting out, only got into Harmontown about halfway and even then only started listening to the D&D segment after being told I was missing the best part continuously.

Man in real life Big Boss would have killed the shit out of Sokolov immediately.
I would love to provide this somewhat shoddily made picture for that!
Haha. There we go.
if they wanna beat Demo Derby, they need to be 2 hours minimum. hehehe
More importantly I'd like them to do episodes every week so Drew doesn't have to re-learn the game every two weeks.
But I guess that's just a dream with next week's PAX+GDC bullshit taking Drew and Dan away.
because waifus

Really excited to watch MGS3 tonight. It's probably most-anticipated feature ever. It could possibly be bested with the return of Random PC Game, though. Or Breaking Brad: Dark Forces.

Should be noted, lots of other people have given the game good reviews, so I'm still gonna check it out!

every time someone tries to give me crap about that game saying "bleh bleh camo sucks" etc it riles me up because seriously you can just throw on something that gives you 60% and just roll with it basically forever if you don't play like a complete moron.
Great Gods the Sorrow's river is going to be so jam packed full of people you wont be able to move.
Good thing Drew pays so safe then.

Yes.
most definitely. "after" could be a while though. But with MGS5 this year. I can't see how they won't get MGS4 done this year. Probably during the summer lulls.
yeah. its a decent system. It's not even that annoying because you don't change environments that much that requires you to constantly go to that menu.
Same with the 'injury' system. You literally can just shrug off all injuries over time lol. Think I went to that menu maybe a dozen times in my playthrough, and half the time was against the end.

Finally catching up on the podcast
"I struggle to think of a video game story that in itself is the reason to play a game"
Brad please 999/VLR and Ace Attorney.

Basically any telltale game, such as the walking dead which almost won their game of the year

Also, basically all the numbered persona games.
idk... did people really play p4 for the garbage story? Played it for the characters and 'living the highschool life' aspect, the story did nothing for me.

i came and stayed for the meat bowl dimensions.
The persona games actually have pretty good stories when compared to other JRPGs but i would never hold them up as proof of good game writing. They can be charming as all fuck, though.

I guess if you don't count the social links and the characters backstory as part of the story as well, then you have a point. The story in that game was atrocious compared to the earlier persona games.

I'd say the plot is thin but the actual story it tells makes up for it.

I don't know, I think Persona 2 definitely achieves a great balance between good writing and being charming. And you're certainly not playing Persona 2 more for its gameplay.

I enjoyed the murder mystery. also, i'm almost done with Golden and the True Ending epilogue is pretty great. Garbage? hardly.
but really, it's all about the daily life scenes that were great. they made me laugh so hard.

Disagree. A beardless Brad is bad for business.
