I've leveled her up enough that she has a silenced rifle and I can tell her to fire at will

and holy shit she'll just obliterate an entire base full of people like it's nothing
Gameplay wise I can't wait to use her. DHorse is awesome because he poops on command but I need some back up out there.

Let's be honest guys, David Hayter always sucked, too. He's the original Bale Batman fake gravelly voice. It is weird Jack Bauer is mostly heard on the tapes. I wonder if the story wnment through some massive overhaul and they couldn't get him back.

Well not everything, she doesn't look 13. At least kojima MOSTLY only gets pervy with adult-looking women, except for Paz.

100% true - he only got a free pass because he was already Snake's voice when all voice acting in games was as shitty as his. But it just really, really throws me to hear someone else's voice coming out of Snake's mouth, and it's even worse when he's talking off camera (which is 99% of the time) and it always takes me a minute to remember that's supposed to be Snake. It's all wrong. Hayter's been Snake in seven games.
I wonder if the story wnment through some massive overhaul and they couldn't get him back.
I seem to recall Hayter saying in interviews that he was never contacted about the game. My guess is this is some weird decision that Kojima made all by himself and just wouldn't budge on.

I'm pretty sure Kojima takes that aspect of the games 100% seriously and is convinced it's a really clever way to convey vital information to the player. I did totally laugh when the first thing Snake Bauer said was "...Afghanistan?" and it would be nice to believe that it was an intentional joke, but I seriously doubt it. Not that Kojima has no self awareness at all, but it's rather... selective.

pillars of eternity 1pm: Ive played too many games like this, not really too interested but Ill give it a bit more time

pillars of eternity, 11:45pm: maybe I wont go to work tomorrow...

Also got a good chuckle near the begining of game, i go into the first house, see a few chests, save and go loot them to see if there is theft detection or reputation loss, nothing happens. "oh ok its final fantasy free-for-all looting." Loot the next house THEFT DETECTED had to murder a lesbian couple.

Wasn't he KGB? I'd imagine KGB agents are trained to pull off a variety of accents/dialects. He'd especially want to sound American when fighting an American spy in the 60's in fucking Russia, apparently.

Dragon Age: Inquisition is stealing my soul. Whenever I play a game with different classes, I usually start by playing warrior, rogue, and finally mage. The knight enchanter class (black chick companion) is so stupidly overpowered that I enjoy the warrior and rogue classes less.

I have to say, you really can't fuck with Red Dead Redemption/Undead Nightmare.

Strange business. Yesterday was the kids' first day back to school. My daughter (entering kindergarten) only had half a day, so I took off from work. I drop them off, and decide to take a nap, before I had to head back out to get her. Wake up from the nap with a gut wrenching feeling that I need to play the Mad Max game, and that I need to play the PC version. ??? I don't know if I had a dream, or schizophrenia, or what the funk, yo. So, with little time to spare before heading out the door I just bought and started downloading the Steam version EVEN THOUGH I OWN THE PS4 VERSION. Get back from teacher orientation and the game is downloaded. I'm now thinking what the hell did I do that for. Research the internet and see that it has a few decent SweetFX presets. Load it up, and WOW, those screen shot comparisons between console and PC don't take into account all the extra dust and dirt, and environmental bells & whistles that Ultra (Extra?) High settings deliver. Throw on the SweetFX and that game is 58% better looking. It also helps because it pops yellow a bit more and climbable objects have yellow paint around them. So, this is all well, and good, but graphics don't really change the issue I had with my first play through. So, I pondered greatly and vastly for a handful of microseconds and decided to try a trainer. I'm not doing all this scavenging bullshit the PS4 version was making me do, but with bonus chunks of material (money) upgrading things (that need to be unlocked regardless) became a more streamlined and faster affair. This I liked. I'm not one for cheating, and a trainer is just as low down as a GameShark/Game Genie is, but a major grievance was just eliminated from a game I wanted to like. I didn't plan on touching the other trainer options, but for one silly moment I turned on infinite ammo...

Image

..and just like that the game turned hella awesome and hella fun. Max's reload is so slow that I can't just run around shooting up the join, and pre-cheat ammo capacity was so low that I almost never remember to use it. This is just fucking fun. Shooting at cars is the best. The Harpoon was fun, but this rules.

Mad Max is essentially a movie tie in, I don't care what anyone says. Movie tie ins that aren't the usual abominations should be a 5 or 6 out of 10 maximum. Mad Max developers over achieved, kind of like Chronicles of Riddick, and turned itself into a 7 or an 8 out of 10. Unfortunately, I think the developers saw this then they got full of themselves and Max became bloated and padded like it was the next GTA, and in an attempt to achieve stardom, blows out it's knees and falls back down into a 6 or 7 out of 10. The Bill's Mad Max: Ammo & Cash Road Fuck You Edition is a 9 out of 10.

Told ya Bill. Mad Max rules. It's bland in side missions but makes up for it with the atmosphere, some beautiful scenery and awesome car combat.

Destiny 2.0 patch dropped and expansion next week so Mad Max and MGSV are getting put to the side for a bit. Can't wait for the new raid. :mastoman:

Does the PC version actually fucking stay online? All I get on PS4 is that I have to click past the same 2345345 notifications everytime, then shit takes forever to load for a while, then I get a message telling me I'm off the server, and then the game runs better.

I started it up just to see if I could crank the graphics to maximum like Ground Zero. It then started cut scene stuff so I force quit, so I don't know about graphics. Yet, first thing it did was ask me to accept an agreement which I refused so, yes, like Dark Souls, you get asked right away about online.

Today I'm going to finish off ME2 proper, then I'll finish Ground Zero. If time permits, which it should, more Max.

I'm not going to lie. This trainer nonsense has me thinking of using them in other games in order to avoid other time wasting and money hunting nonsense. Mostly grind work, mind you.

Mixing different kinds of beer turned me a little psycho, but mission completed.

ME2 finished. I actually had an urge to start up 3, but no. Let's take a break.

Ground Zero finished. I should have played this long ago, then I might have tried all the bonus missions that unlocked. As is, I'd rather just get to Phantom Pain already.

Mad Max. Cleared out a lot of stuff, but these maps are huge. There is much redundancy. Maybe not a 9 after all. Fighting a convoy in the middle of a lightning storm was bad ass though. What's with the blue face grease paint, a Braveheart reference?

I used a trainer to give me a few souls in Dark Souls so I can avoid some grinding. I leveled up to 4.... hundred. I still died.

Drive Club looks really nice, but unfortunately it's made me nose around a bit and find out that the Driving Force GT still isn't working with the PS4. Because I really need a second baming wheel clogging up my place. Grumblegrumble.

Two days later, and all I'm playing is Drive Club. I should be playing MGSV. I should be wrapping up the platinum in Bloodborne. I should be getting my shit in order for the Witcher 3 expansions. But I can never resist the cheap, easy fix of racing games, it seems, even though I suck at them. It's like I'm procrastinating my procrastination.

Also, the game is real pretty and everything goes vroom so nice.

Totally worth it so far. It seems like they finally released the game that they should have. Lt. Daniels barking in your ear is awesome. If the raid is even half as good as the Vault of Glass, I would have paid $60.
