Playing both Metal Gear Solid 2 and Digimon World: Next Order at the same time has been an...interesting experience.
-
I'm a huge Godzilla fan, and Rodan is easily my favorite. The new info and art released for the new "King of the Monsters" movie has my hyped!
-
Replaying Digimon World: Next Order...again...because I so needed another addicting game right now...
-
I've told myself to cool it on the Trophy hunting...but there are so many games I own that have plats that are calling my name!
-
Started Metal Gear Solid 2 last night for the first time! Hoo boy am I digging it so far!

See, and MGSV was my first Metal Gear game. I absolutely adored it's absurdity, and found everything about it appealing, epic, and cool. This caused me to invest in the Legacy Collection, which is how I'm playing through MGS1, 2, and so on now.
To be fair, I can see why folks who've been with the series for years would dislike it so much, but to me, it was fresh and different and unlike any of my typical games that I've played. It brought me into that world, and I fell in love with it all, which is why I'm playing through the franchise and quickly loving everything about it.
-
MGSV's story was cut short by Konami. The story and even a good amount of the cutscenes were written and rendered but never made it to game.
Aside from that, the gameplay is what really stood out to me. I took Peace Walker's Mother Base system to a whole new level and I absolutely loved the hell out of it.
-
yeah, Konami should surely take a straight hand to the face for what they did. or two. or five.
and see, I thought the mother base system is good for a handheld. gives you something to do in order to acquire some items and such.
despite Peace Walker being a pretty long game in itself, especially since it's ripped into all the small missions with returning to base in between... even if you ignore any management, the game takes long. but theoretically, these features give it more longevity and it does not feel like a waste at all.
but man, as part of the next and last big next gen installment, in a series that was perfectly known for its linear, often breathtaking cinematic gameplay (especially 4 since it benefitted from the graphics at the time), the whole army management stuff is just, ugh what
running around collecting plants...??
imo it's not the right game for that, doing that -within- the main series is highly questionable when it is famous for the whole opposite.
however, obviously they decided to break with a good amount of their traditions. I wish I knew their motives, but to me it looks like they combined 'open' world with online features to ride on the wave of "hey what's new" at the time.
so, since we'll never know why things were decided one way or another, all we can do is say and explain why we like or dislike stuff. and discussing that is super fair.
I'm deffo very glad you enjoy the series!!! it will always stay a significant part of video gaming history, it's just way too good. have a blast, and you can always tell me what you think! (...or is it what they want you to think? heh.)
-
After completing it, I can see why MGS1 is hailed as a masterpiece.
-
Finished Metal Gear Solid 1 and my Omegamon gunpla over the weekend! Very productive! haha.
-
Just found out that Legend of Legaia doesn't play on the PS3 after a certain point in the game due to a glitch...great...Well at least I learned of that issue before putting a bunch of time into it.
-
How has it taken me this long to play Metal Gear Solid 1? I'm only 3.5 hours in, but I'm hooked and can tell it's a masterpiece despite it's age.
-
Aaaaand Code Vein is delayed 'til 2019... As frustrating as that is, I keep telling myself that it will result in a better game when it's finally released.
-
Metal Gear Solid is calling my name. I'm hooked. I'm only 3 hours into my work shift on this hot Wednesday...and I'm already anxious to get home and further my sneaking exploits!
-
Cried like a baby at Detroit: Become Human last night. Not even ashamed. I ended up getting Kara and her group killed so close to the end of the game. It was just so sad and I hated myself for it. Was able to get the good endings for the rest of the crew though...so that sort of helped. Clancy Brown lived and Lance Henrikson was still alive, so those are both positives I suppose. Finished the game and that was that. I really enjoyed it. It was a beautiful experience that carried some good messages.
-
Yup....
SpoilerIt was the end of the Crossroads chapter where they're trying to flee the attack at Jericho. I made some bad choices when she was getting shot at and the soldier gunned them both down. Looking back I should have "played dead" I guess, but I kept trying to get up and run away... The bad thing is I'd done so well with them up until that point.
I legitimately gasped when it happened and teared up enough I had to step away from the game for a few minutes. It just hit that deep a chord I guess. I didn't realize I'd become that attached.
-
It hurts my soul to know I'll be 30 before I get to play Kingdom Hearts 3 and Devil May Cry 5...
-
I'm not too familiar with the timeline on the Devil May Cry series, but the Kingdom Hearts one is ridiculous. I mean, when there's 13 years between 2 and 3, that's just on them, and the vast majority of "original" fans are probably mid twenties and up by now (myself included). So, you have company
-
No doubt. I've kept up with every KH game up to this point such as CoM, BBS, Days, DDD, etc. Not to mention replayed they're HD remakes. So I've kept myself busy, but I'm very ready to see that good part 3!
The original Devil May Cry came out in 2001, then 2 in 2003, DMC3 (my favorite) came out in '05, with DMC4 in '08. We don't talk about "DMC" from 2013 because it's a "reboot" and was awful. So Devil May Cry 5 is still coming out 11 years after DMC4, which is far too long! I'm just glad it's going back to it's roots!
