Damn my birthday is on August 29th. So I just missed this.

“ At that time, the engine was about 95% done. The player could create characters, use skills, perform both ranged and melee combat, save/load games and travel across maps. A tutorial level was done that would let the designers do all of the above. All areas but one had been designed. About 75% of the dialogue was…

Weep for what we never got despite it being close to finished.

I wonder if these coins will also be the basis currency of Metal Gear Online since I don’t really see that many people playing around with the FOB stuff once they beat the campaign and transition to MGO (when it launches).

I know somebody made the joke before like a year ago but the prologue portion really does feel like a high fidelity interpretation of QWOP.

Damn that Nathan Fillion is so good looking I kind of want a Firefly rpg done in a Mass Effect style now.

I can dream can’t I?

Almost as bad as my Bestbuy employee spelling Joystick as “Joi stick.” story.

The new timeline helped though. I need nanomachine brain surgery.

So Outer Heaven madness is still Big Boss’s vision stuff then? Just Venom is playing the body double that gets killed and I guess reconstituted to get killed again in Metal Gear 2?

To me Metal Gear’s entire story has kind of been on par with a slightly below average comic book story arc.

Well since we’re diving into full spoiler territory.

Kind of reminds me of Lone Survivor. Just with more high school girls and much less nihilism.

“you have to know about Steins;Gate is that it’s excruciatingly slow.”

I’m an avid wargamer but I don’t really get the “what other gamers think I do portion”.

I do remember a few years back when I was redoing my PC’s innards I specifically used Warhammer Dawn of War 2 as my graphical guidelines.

I remember even Gears of War 2 still had that weird tonal issue where it wants to be a serious war story about the potential end of humanity (and their embracing of facism that only slows down this inevitable demise)

I’m surprised that during the thematic connection portion they didn’t mention the blue butterfly flying around is probably the strongest link to the other Persona games being in the same universe.

Step 1: Hire Chris Avellone

What’s funny to me is that I remember Black Ops 2 having a well done campaign system but remembering practically nothing about the story itself. Just that one side missions where you’re trying to kill that old Vietnamese general or something.

Mmm the nostalgia.
