Funny, though I’m pretty sure it wasn’t Hyundai factories themselves employing child labor. It was the Chinese-run parts factories in Alabama. Can you imagine a worse situation for workers in America? Being run ragged by Chinese bosses who expect the slave-like productivity they exact back home in a state that…

It was really bad in Cyberpunk, at least until 2.0. Haven’t messed with it much, but heard that skill is a bigger factor in shootout success. I hated head-shotting someone in a stealth attempt only to find my stats didn't support a one-shot kill. 

I forgot about that, and I hate that mechanic as well. I don’t think I was into RPGs enough at the time to even notice.

Matt Berry in Zelda would be epic. “Link what are you doing behind that Deku tree.”

Improved WiFi would be the main draw for me. Steam Link works far, far better on my old Samsung Galaxy A32 w/ Razor Kishi than it does on the Deck. 

It wasn't bad enough to hold the game, IMO. Sure, it didn't compare to the mechanics of MGSIV or Splinter Cell 3. In fact, it felt more like PS1-era Syphon Filter, but it worked. Shame my PS3 is dead and the PC version is delisted. I was just shy of finishing it. 

To be true to Bond, as opposed to Hitman, social interaction should be prioritized over stealth to “case” targets/objectives. The GB game nailed that, limited as it was; you had to actually talk to folks to make progress. Guns should be low-caliber (.32acp pistol standard issues) and killing should be optional, if…

He also pays just a 15% flat tax on the capital gains from those stocks. 

Struggled all weekend trying to convince my kids to just watch it on Peacock. Really don’t like paying money to go see bad movies. We took them to Barbie and TMNT: Mutant Mayhem (which I slept through and then afterwards blamed on its inferiority to the ‘87 series, just to annoy the fam) happily. I think my oldest…

Sounds about right. 

And the tech isn't that good... 

The original still holds up well in character models, but we should expect more. Maybe this is just a snippet from a Snake Eater pachinko. 

3rd person controls almost break the game on 3DS, making everything except boss fights trivial. There needs to be substantive environmental interaction and AI improvements to balance this. 

I was kind of hoping for an expansion of the world and a move away from the “zone” system of the original. I’m sure they’ll drop the loading between those zones and make it a continuous linear route, but, with modern tech, that’s still a disappointment.

For real; the original MGS3 trailer was batshit crazy with referencing jokes and took a stab at the GTA phenomenon. Never before nor after did a trailer compel me to desire a game, but I didn't get a PS2 until 2008, when they released the MGS Trilogy Collection. 

You could do that on 3DS in 2011. Crouch-walking and third person shooting are awesome in MGS 3, although they arguably break the original game’s design in several places. It’s also trivial to take pictures with the 3DS camera to create new camo patterns that give 99% cover. Despite that and it's 20fps speed, it's my…

The tighter layout of the face buttons on the 2DS makes it quite playable. 

I now see they were targeting 60fps @ 1080 with the higher-tier cards while suggesting lesser cards for 30fps@ 1440p. It’s still absurd. If the 6700XT and 3070 are to deliver 60fps @ 1080p, I don’t see how the 6600XT and 3060 are a preferred option for 1440p @ 30fps. Perhaps they are hoping for us to fill in the…

I think they made a mistake by reversing the 1080p/1440p recommended GPUs. There is no world where either 8GB RTX 3060 or 6600XT are a better option @ 1440p than the (admittedly 8GB) 3070 or 12GB 6700XT. GPU nomenclature can be confusing, but here it is not. 6700XT is clearly superior to the 6600XT as the 3070 is to…

Don’t feel bad. I’m an English teacher and notoriously bad at word games. From kindegarten word searches to Scrabble and beyond, I’m just hapless.Thankfully, I don’t often get challenged to word games because I’m an English teacher. :)
