The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames)

[doomeddisciple]

just got my Fulton - sick

[The Bill]

I never did play Legion's loyalty mission my first play through, so that's been corrected. What a goddamn waste of time collecting dog tags at the crash site was though. I think I only have 3 loyalty missions and something about a crashing ship left before end game. Maybe my ship's crew will live this time.

[The Bill]

I was just minding my own business, going to pick up some lunch (I got the grilled spicy chicken from the Cuban place, and you know what? It's actually very spicy. This makes me happy, as too many places puss out when they claim spicy, and it's all bullshit) when suddenly...



Metal Gear popped in my head and I said "Metal Gear" in Snake's voice out loud. Since then I've said Metal Gear aloud and answered two questions posed to me with the answer "Metal Gear" to much much confusing and shunning. My subconscious brain that lives in my brain just picked out my next game to play after ME2. I'm going to put a balloon on a dog.

Fuck the online stuff

My nigga!

[doomeddisciple]

It's fucking rad is all I know

[delmuerte]

Wacky controls are the only thing that is bumming me out on this game so far. Max jumps like a little girl, too.

I'm ready for this to be my GOTY GODDAMNIT

Enjoying Mad Max a lot so far. The atmosphere is perfect. The camera feels a little floaty but I'm getting used to it. Car combat is rad, great sounds. We'll see if I get burned out of the somewhat typical open world design. The combat feels more like Sleeping Dogs than Batman.

Is that little prequel game that was an hour long mandatory before playing this one

No idea, but I'm playing it first. I heard a rumor that if you save some dudes they'll help your motherfucking mother base in the main game.

5-8 minutes in and..

SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW

still in a fucking hospital bed

[doomeddisciple]

I played it a few weeks ago she it was on PS+ - it gives you some context to why the theme of this game is Revenge but honestly there's so much MGS lore that is going on through the early parts of the game that I just have no fucking idea what's going on with the supernatural elements of the game - it felt a bit to me like Kojima's approach boils down to:
'there's some serious back story going on from the previous games here and we're not going to recap shit but suffice to say there's some fucked up shit to go with your hiding in cardboard boxes'

I reckon being the video game completist you are Riley, you'll platinum The Phantom Pain and then go platinum Zeros - it's so short compared to what's on offer here that it will feel like one level / one mission compared to what's on the table with V.

[FVBTVS]

im so infuriated by this prologue shit

[FVBTVS]

20ish minutes of hospital crawling and i'm done. i'll check back in with this in a couple days after some light drinking

[copstache]

it took me an hour and 10 minutes to get through the prologue

then i robo-punched a sheep and it made the 6 million dollar man sound effect

and then i accidentally completed a mission while trying to find stuff to loot

game owns

[FVBTVS]

it took me an hour and 10 minutes to get through the prologue

then its going to take me three days to get out of the prologue

[copstache]

Yeah, his hop is pathetic. It's too bad they didn't add the ability to climb because a lot of the rock surfaces are perfect. I like that the entire story is you building your car back up. The amount of customization for Max and the Magnum Opus is great. This bodes very well for Just Cause 3.

Unless you want some gear and characters to carry over....not really.

The story is basically.....

a bunch of goons blew your shit up -》9 year coma -》kill 'em all

[RY4N]

i like that the beginning of mgsv it says its based on fictional events and the characters are made up.
After playing all these games and seeing a dude command bees and a homosexual vampire running on super oxygenated water. yeah dude we get it. its made up

[Wang Mandu]

I'm not sure who wrote and directed MGSV, you guys have any clue?

you see, i went about the thing all wrong

[The Bill]

I was going to play another ME2 mission last night, goddammit. Then the wife wanted some quality time, which ended up being watching an old episode of Million Dollar Listing New York in an un-air conditioned bedroom. No hanky panky was involved.





Someone in a video game is going to pay for this. Maybe I'll let that gross bald dike from ME2 die. Or maybe someone is going to get Metal Gear'ed. Maybe I'll throw everyone for a loop and Mad Max someone in the ass with a car. Now I want to get Mad Max. Is Mad Max too similar to Bats? I just spent like two months on Bats and I don't want to start playing a game like that so soon. Maybe play a FPS, although Metal Gear probably doesn't need too much patching time as they're pretty good with the polish on that series. Damn you, Metal Gear.
