Ocelot seems like a totally different character in MGSV and it makes no sense. Then again MGSV is unfinished and barely has any story. What's funny is that Metal Gear Rising - a platinum joint - has more cutscenes and arguably a better story than MGSV.

So I'm catching up on this week's content. Where is all this Jeremiah stuff coming from? Beastcast?
Yeah near the end.

I liked all that until they botched the payoff in AC3, or really anything after AC2. That they keep making it a part of the series is weird.

I do remember the one time Mass Effect had a good story.
Too bad they fucked it up with ME2

Itt: GAF realizing video game stories are shit
Other than MGS, of course.
Video game stories always been shit
when people say games have 'good stories' they actually mean games have 'good characters'. by the merit of how much action and player input and length a game must meet, it's impossible to find a good narrative.
VTMB is one of the best written games ever. Because of the characters, not the story. Same for Fallout New Vegas.

I think I've only been playing narrative games this year.
Not to say all of them are good.
Some are pretty alright.

I see we're getting into the fun "All game stories are shit!!!!1" discussion, so I'm just gonna leave this thread
And that Bionic Commando game from Grin

Playing through FFXV at the moment and I'm realising it has the same problem.
Night In The Woods has a dumb story that is really bad by the end
but some of the characters are really good
FFXV pre-chapter 8 and post chapter 8 might as well be two different releases

If he uses that arm to pleasure himself, is it a wank or is it a hand job from the missus?

God of War series
Good character or story? Or both?

It's definitely got the better codecs
Neither
And TBH it's not like the early stuff is best in class either.

Road Blaster is the only good video game plot.

How about neither
Both are bad. One's an even worse version of Dragon age inquisition the other is crisis core with even worse combat and characters
Are you serious?

What bout that Planescape though
Don't follow him down the Citizen Kane hole. It's a dark place.

Polybius is intense. And that's with only seeing it in the VRodeo.
Modern retro games are a strange, wonderful beast.

Definitely has the better and, certainly, more over the top villains that's for sure. Just fully embrace the goofiness and go full NANOMACHINES SON.
He played ball, you know.
yeah i'd rather read about GOTY in july than have some GamerGate witch hunt in july 2017

Mgs2 is still probably the most woke mgs though.
Who dat weird ugly zombie in your avatar. Shit gaem, shoulda been a book. Something, something Chris Avellone is a hack.

Is planescaping the same as manscaping.
yeah but with planes
Ocelot was basically a different character each game and MGS is full of retcons and straight up nonsense.
That said MGS still has way more interesting and memorable moments and characters than Assassins Creed which never went anywhere after AC2. So trying to use that as some sort of counterpoint against Dan doesn't make a lot of sense.

Stop fighting, start exploring
Eh, I ain't defending AC. Just that MGS story is trash that I took way too seriously when I was a teen.

Until you run into way too many combat shrines that basically have the same fight.

The likelihood of you running into those consecutively isn't bad.
Plus space out shrines. A lot of them are lame but doing them with time in between helps.

He was ascending to heaven at some point, so it's the latter.
On the other hand he was killing angels. So I don't know

I've been catching up on Beast in the East and man watching them figure out the cabaret club minigame was brutal but they did all right, but also in fairness I didn't think the game explained either that or real estate particularly well.
