MGSV sure does not have a good story. Y'know what had a good story? MGS1-3.
I don't know how anyone who has played through the masterpiece that is MGS3 could say MGSV has a good story.
Y'know what also has a good story? The Legend of Heroes Trails in the Sky. I just finished the first chapter.
Actually I've played through plenty of games in my life with good stories. MGSV ain't one of them.

MGSV kept gesturing vaugely toward an interesting story that it never really made an attempt to ever execute on, it's super frustrating. I really want a book about the making of that game because clearly something real fucked happened during development.
also i really want to know if at any point the MGSV isn't really MGS5 theory was true because that would've been unbelievably incredible

Is there a GBEAST live stream today? I don't see anything on the schedule. 🌝

Yes, at 11 AM PST
The correct viewing order is 1-14, not watching the Scott Manley episode until after you finish the regular series. For your own sake.
I've seen enough of this game, I don't need a whole series plus multiple streams to get the point of Kerbal and I don't think it's that much fun to watch. If I wanted to waste some time and put on a mildly interesting stream as background noise I'd go to Twitch for that.

Welcome to the party! If you enjoyed the first chapter, you're gonna have a blast with the stuff that comes up. That game gets better and better with each new chapter.
Isn`t this the first live stream of Project BEAST?
Could be. I'm also counting UPF appearances and the QLs though.
I know this thread is not designed to dictate their content output, but put me firmly in the camp of "okay, enough with the Kerbal". It was fun at first, then got into "I'm watching this more to watch the duders than the game" territory, and is now firmly content I skip.
Clearly there is enough traffic and love for it to keep going, which is fine, but if there are only so many hours in a day to create content it pains me that so much of it goes to this.

MGSV has some fantastic gameplay systems, and some great moments, but boy does it have a terrible narrative and poor plot.
I cut from a very different cloth then.

But they are stopping, this stream is the last thing.
I wonder how salty the BEAST crew will be when they see that Scott Manely didn't have to rescue that Kerbal from orbiting the Sun.
I have loved every bit of Project BEAST, so I'm a bit sad to see it ending. I can understand how some people might be bored with it, but I'm not! More space stuff is always great. Here's to hoping they build a space station and go to Duna!

Oh! Shows how much I pay attention the goings on of project BEAST!
Listening to the latest Bombcast, the DOOM discussion is a real bummer.
But I have to say, it seems like Jeff often struggles with the "I don't know I guess this must be an old man thing and the old stuff can't be done in this day and age"
While it is true that it isn't easy to pull off in a way that feels correct.
That's ridiculous, don't be soft and settle for that.
I wholeheartedly believe you can always adapt old concepts for a modern era without losing the spirit of the way it use to be, it's always possible, it just isn't easy.
The Wolfenstein stuff for example, looked and felt pretty amazing and they made all that stuff work so well and seem so satisfying without really over complicating it or overdoing it, it's one of those experiences you can walk away feeling "I played a cool ass video game and I enjoyed it".
MGSV in all my hundreds of hours of playing played the way I remembered the PS2 MGS games playing, but better, evolved and refined, and I still like and can tolerate the way those games can play despite it being too clunky and unwieldy for some, but MGSV plays amazingly well, it's easily one of the best "playing" game of the generation, if not the best.
Then you have stuff like the Star Wars movie that feels like a weirdly smooth transition from the old ones but still and new fresh, whether it's your thing or not.
And you know, I don't know if those examples are necessarily the best ones or anything like that, they're just the first I can think of.
My point is that it's never impossible to capture the feel and spirit of the past in a new way and I honestly think it's incredibly narrow minded to assume it can't be done if someone is doing a bad job at it, game design just isn't that rigid, it can be as flexible as people let it be.
There are people out there that get stubborn and don't like new anything and I've thought a whole lot about my own perspective and my dislike between some newer things and so on and whether or not I'm also an "old man" being crazy or if I actually have a valid perspective that needs to be articulated better than "I want the old thing".
After seeing some of these things I eventually decided there is definitely still merit in old beloved video games and it wasn't always the standard of "This is cool because nothing better exists", sometimes it could be, but definitely not always, at least for me.
EDIT: I realize I must have jumped the gun as they eventually end up covering some of the stuff I mentioned, but it's still good to keep in mind.

Guys I am mere hours away from finally being a virtual person. I have a big living room (for an apartment) that is now dedicated to room-scale VR. Just gotta move the couch!
I hope you enjoy BUTTS.

No way! Did you get that sweet Vive then?

NO
Yep, it's out for delivery! I got a Rift too, but who the hell knows what's going on with them.

After watching those 2 streams I'd put my money down for the Vive. Rift looks okay but at least I saw some Vive games that looked fun. If anything I'll wait for PSVR to come out and see if that's worth getting as I only have an older laptop for light Steam gaming.
Have fun!
But.. butts.
I'm jealous, I still haven't heard anything on the Rift or Vive. It's so frustrating that neither of them have even an estimated ship date.

Because as you get older, time seems to speed up. I think it has to do with the volume of memories or something. For instance, 2006 still feels fresh in my mind. I remember getting my PS3 (10 YEARS AGO!) just weeks after launch. PS4 will be 3 years old later this year.

They only streaming on the site or is there a youtube or twitch link?

That's fine, didn't want to use the last of my data anyways!
I wonder how much I used trying to watch bits of the vive stream at skoo yesterday.

I wish they did more series where each member tries something out of their comfort zone and checks back in once a week with it.

That series has been an ongoing thing with Drew for quite some times. ⛄
That sounds like a cool idea. I want to see someone who hates Mobas to try and play Dota 2 for instance. Or Jeff trying Hearthstone could be cool.

his accent is weird as it's been soften by being in the states for a while. It took me a while to really nail it down myself
