Just came here to share some of my fanart, still a bit noob in this kind of things.

That is really good . Love the garrus fan art, it really feels like it belongs in the mass effect universe.

You're not given a S rank for using reflex in GZ. You still have to earn it and more importantly I felt I earned it. You still have to be quick enough to finish the mission in a certain time frame, not kill anyone, and still get no alerts. And getting reflex =/ no alerts. I've gotten plenty of alerts using relfex mode.

I don't see how it matters to you guys how someone else plays the game and if whether or not you get an S with a feature enabled in the game. It comes off as very snobbish. If you want more of a challenge fine but don't make it seem like you're less of a player for using reflex.

It doesn't mater to me if you use it or not, and i'm really sorry i'm coming across as snobbish, i don't mean too.
I just don't think you should get the highest rank for using it.
it is the highest rank, it is something you should strive for and most importantly earn, through putting all your skills to the test. and shouldn't involve any player aids, as it defeats the point.

EDIT: I don't think you're a lesser play for using it, if that's why you're a bit upset with me.

 

[Salaadin]

Yeah my playtime has fallen off quite a bit too lately. Hopefully we can tag up soon!

Real life sucks. I wish I could hunt monsters 24/7. Id be much happier

I dont care how anyone plays it. If you like reflex, thats fine. Im not going to consider you a lesser player for using it.
But it is my own opinion that it cheapens the game somewhat. I feel like it has no place in Metal Gear as much as I feel like instant alerts have no place but Kojima and/or Konami seem to have different feelings on this.

I just dont like the idea of a stealth game mechanic that allows players to sprint around levels in the open, get spotted, and still have an out. It looks and feels bad to me. Reflex is just the latest example of a gameplay mechanic that does match the game narrative.

Nah man we're cool.

I just think it shouldn't matter if someone gets a S rank using reflex because it doesn't effect players who don't use it. Yeah it may have been "easier" for someone using reflex but all that matters is that a person felt like they earned it. That's the point I'm trying to get across.

I take it you didn't like MGS1 then?

Nope, I hated it. What a horrible game that MGS1 was.

So you don't like Reflex because it makes it easier, but you seem to favour the systems that would make it easier? For example, calling for back up.

Well i can't speak for anyone else, but i hate the global alert because it's silly from an in game perspective.
In GZ for instance, a guard in the boiler room sees you, no body else is around, but the whole base is a alerted, it's stupid and a step down from 2 and 3, with all the details that they had (being able to wound them, shooting out the radios, etc.)

Sorry if i can't articulate it better.

Calling for backup doesn't make the game easier.

In MGS2 and MGS3, enemies would see you, retaliate against you with either a kick or a short spurt of bullets, run away to a safer area, and then try call for backup. The player was often left with less health and had to pursue the enemy quickly before backup was called. Even if the enemy said a few words over the radio but never called for a full alert, HQ would still send backup to investigate, prompting the player to hide anyways.

It's more immersive, makes for better gameplay, and is more realistic. It's a better option than ground zeroes slow motion or instant alerts.

So would you instead want to be able to take out the guard as he radios it in? It would mean you could easily take out every guard you came across. It's literally the same as Reflex, you get a period of time to react. Putting the MGS2 system into GZ or TPP would be a mess.

An enemy standing still while the player enters slow motion auto aim reflex mode is not literally the same thing as having to chase down and eliminate an enemy in real time before he utters a single word over his radio.

And calling for backup would not be a mess in GZ. In fact, an enemy radio system already exists in the game where enemies communicate, ask each other to check out disturbances, and even call for backup when someone doesn't appropriately check in. They just don't seem to need it for alerts for some reason.

No it is not. there is a massive difference between trying to shoot a radio in a guards hand in real-time as opposed to a matrix-style bullet time.

And by your logic, you're able to go through MGS2 easily shooting all the radios out, i'd like to see that.

If there's any urban missions ala MGS4, Eminence Front is playing on my iDroid and I'm pretending I'm in a cheesy 80's action flick.

I fucking love that Tom on Toonami still does videogame reviews! I remember when he did Morrowind and was brutally honest about how badly the combat sucked when compared to action games. Damn you Tom, I enjoyed Morrowind none the less.

Wow, I guess Toonami's been back for a while, because I missed this :https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S4uzQFhoLxs

Play PW on PS3. The framerate, controls and image quality are awful on the PSP the version. PS3 version controls much better (camera control with right stick) and is locked 60 fps in 720p resolution.

PW's

is actually one of the easiest in the series, well at least for me anyway. But there is no easy mode and no way around that scene.

Use the pen trick. The torture in MGS1 is 10 times harder and I beat it for the first time using this method recently, mind you I owned MGS1 when it first came out.

Wow, that is awesome. I never played coop outside of boss battles but I did wonder what the deal was with the command room and its purpose, that's pretty cool.

Are there many other mechanics tailored for co ops that are largely missed by going solo?

aside for the use of the railgun, the catapult(made form monster parts, and are needed 4 players), and the help with the climb, nothing more i think, maybe just the fact that if you use a chaff grenade then the mic doesn't work anymore till the end of the effect. But is more a gem for us because Kojima is careful to details.

It's great, more about shortcuts than bonfires (it's not bonfires but it's an equivalent) and it's about 45-50 hours long. Difficult as hell. If you're worried about spoilers, I won't say anymore.
