Don't really buy that or I'd like to think they are better than that. I fucking LOVE metal gear to ridiculous levels but it didn't stop me thinking critically about it and these guys (for all the hype) are usually on the ball when it comes to thinking critically of a thing, even if they are invested in it.
Maybe I'm wrong about Pat but Liam has done the "no but it's fine really" spiel way too often for me to take his opinion seriously on games he's a huge fan of. We'll see I guess.
That's all fine really, I'm definitely not claiming that it's a bad game, I haven't even played it so I can't talk about it. What I'm scared of is them trying to justify every single negative in the game or going "whatever I don't care it's great", which I saw a lot in the first 2 episodes.
Maybe the reason I'm worried is that I've heard tons of MGS fans claim that Quiet's model is totally not fanservice or anything "cause they gave a reason". I'm completely okay with fanservice but don't try and tell me that's not fanservice.
Never seen Avatar nor Korra.
Am I really missing out?
Avatar is amazing, definitely watch that if you're even mildly interested. Korra is okay but I wouldn't recommend it if you're not in love with the Avatar universe, it's a huge step down IMO.
