My advice going into GotG is to treat it more like a party-based RPG than a shooter. Yes, your character has guns and you aim and shoot them but they’re more for finishing enemies off than anything else. The bulk of your damage comes from combos with the rest of the squad. Your team is your primary weapon, not your…

Replacing Hayter was especially stupid considering:

Another thing nobody seems to understand: Money isn’t real. We made it up. Once upon a time it was tied to a real resource (gold, again, only valuable because we all agree it is, not because of its intrinsic utility), but now it’s not, it’s a “fiat currency” tied to the overall strength of the country issuing it.

What the “riches” don’t understand is that eventually things will be too expensive, period, and they will lose all that money they’re hoarding, in recovering the costs.

FYI the “random gibberish” they all spoke is a phonetic pangram, a sentence containing all the sounds from the english language (like the “quick brown fox...” contains all the letters, but for sounds)

I really hope that at some point Konami just gives up and begs Kojima to make PT into a real game so the gaming world can finally get over it.

You certainly managed to draw a lot of conclusions about games that are 100+ hours long without actually playing them, based entirely on very small amounts of information. Clearly, we have found our new authority on the subject.

That’s basically what I felt watching it as well. First Metal Gear Solid trailer I’ve ever seen that felt aggressively BORING. None of the classic Hideo-brand sensationalism and excitement. Not even a single moment from the story, or even a character speaking a single word. It all feels very dead. I don’t think…

I think it’s more of a tech demo for the Unreal engine than a trailer for the game.

From what they announced yes it is BUT they’re using the original recordings from Snake Eater and not re-recording all the roles. 

This is the least Metal Gear trailer for a Metal Gear game I’ve ever seen.
Kojima’s absence is readily apparent and sorely missed

But is it David Hayter? I’m on Team DH Or Bust.

If the stories on The Root haven’t convinced you, here’s a reminder: COPS DON’T ‘PROTECT AND SERVE’ YOU, THEY PROTECT CAPITAL AND UPHOLD THEIR “LAW”.
And the more power they get, the more they become oppressors when the “capital” becomes more self-interested. When a police department gets surplus funding and supplies,…

Don’t worry guys, media consolidation is actually a really great thing overall and is beneficial for consumers and creators. We swear! Please be excited about Microsoft consuming Activision, too! It’s for your our own good! I mean, your own good! Believe us!

They found what looked like a tape backup, but it turned out to be Laserbeak in disguise. (He was part of a deep cover mission to make Starscream look like an idiot...)

I’m... guessing they’re talking about the source code files that would need to be reworked a bit for compatibility with modern systems? Because Activision keeps copies of their releases, they had a whole process for it back when I worked there (which was in the late 00's, before either of these games got released).

Don’t forget he played the Penguin’s father in Batman Returns

This HBO special led to the PeeWee Movies and TV show

Damn. That sucks ass. Pee-wee’s Big Adventure is one of my favorite movies, as is Mystery Men. I think the phrase one of a kind gets thrown around a lot, but he earned it. Never was, never will be anyone else like him.

Dammit.
