The Evil Genius Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Anyone play MGS Phantom Pain on the PS4? It's free so I started it and it looks magnificent. But the cutscenes dialogue for me was borked. No sound from the characters during the cutscenes. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing it standalone may be fun for people though i have no clue how they'd understand anything, after like 8-9 games (over a 25 year period) of storytelling. Sucks, cuz I thought Ground Zeroes (Phantom Pains prequel) was incredible, and was setting up for something worthy of remembrance. Also, if you haven't tried it, I'd suggest hitting up Metal Gear Rising: Reveangence, which is Raidens story after the events of Guns of the Patriots. Really cool/interactive/stylish, and really tough. Pretty much Metal Gear with a Anime Samurai Epic feel to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But his voice was iconic smh. 2 minutes ago, Mr. Sinister said: Also, if you haven't tried it, I'd suggest hitting up Metal Gear Rising: Reveangence, which is Raidens story after the events of Guns of the Patriots.

Metal Gear meets DmC in such perfect fusion one could argue it should have always been this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 There was a 20%off code that came with the PS4 and I got $10 for some reason in my Inbox from Sony. So I pulled the trigger on Hellblade. Going to start it this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the AI broke in those game modes? Is the passing broke in those game modes? Is the complete game breaking (LT/L2) feature broke in those game modes?

That too, it def felt rushed, screwed up jigsaw puzzle. Not that i trusted them even back then, but game ratings officially broke when people gave that sadness a 10/10 3 hours ago, Llevron said: Couldnt get past Snakes voice. I really tried. But his voice was iconic smh. Oddly enough that was one of the few things i didn't have a problem with. I always felt that there needed to be separation between Solid Snake and Big Boss (they're already clones to begin with). It was made worse in Guns of the Patriots when Snake starts using CQC, and David Hayter continued to voice both characters. Both characters were compelling on their own right, and Imo it was doing a great disservice to basically make them the same in everything but name, so when i found out Kiefer Sutherland was now voicing Big Boss when the Ground Zeroes trailer dropped, I was relieved.

However, it has about 40 missions, about 10-15 of which are EXACT duplicates of each other. Kind of annoying. Would have been better if they had fewer missions that were all original. Worth a one time playthrough, if you can get it cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 It's actually free. Been out for awhile now on PS+ Unless that's another alias, iirc the sniper's name is Quiet, which is still kinda unoriginal as well. The tortured soul femme fatale sniper was already done in MGS1 with Sniper Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a famous cutscene of her dancing in the rain -- probably what led to my confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I downloaded it since it was free but I don’t know if I’ll play it. The MGS series is infamous for its complicated and ridiculous story and will have a hard time playing without knowing what the hell is going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 @Mournblade Lol yeah for a second i was actually thinking I missed some scenes. One of the things i did like was the character evolution of Master Miller, starting in Peace Walker. The growing rift between Miller and Ocelot/Big Boss, and the two of them taking kid Liquid/Solid, set the stage beautifully for Shadow Moses Still one of the greatest games ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're like me and you've spent almost 20 years understanding the story one way, only for things to change ever so slightly each game, it'll just piss you off Things didn't really start to push it till Guns of the Patriots, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Got a bit of a bone to pick. Some extra dlc dropped for Origins (actually its more along the lines of Uplay content), but one one of them is limited time only (less than a week left). It's a a boss battle with Anubis, and supposedly there's some sweet gear that comes with it upon completion. You have to be Lvl 40 to attempt it though That aint right. Im not a teenager or a college student. No way I'd be able to put in that kind of time before this thing escapes my grasp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 2 hours ago, codeorama said: You don't have to be 40 to attempt it. True, but you don't have to be a pilot to attempt to fly a plane either Generally if you are 2-3 levels away you may do it, but enemy difficulty scales differently, so a low level soldier 4-5 rungs above you isn't the same as a captain 2 above you, or an armored general with a long shield and mace, that is at your level. I'd imagine Anubis would be very difficult at 40, if it's a worthy DLC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 If you can access it without being 40 what is the concern? Maybe I’m not understanding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Taze Me Bro Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 27 minutes ago, Momma There Goes That Man said: If you can access it without being 40 what is the concern? Maybe I’m not understanding That even at level 40, the boss would be (or should be) extremely hard to defeat. So being levels below 40, it would be nearly impossible to defeat. And that he doesn't have the time to powerlevel to 40 (like in his younger years) and there are time constraints, meaning he still wouldn't be able to get to 40 before it's no longer offered and miss out on the reward gear. That's my interpretation of the conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 But I thought the issue was that he wouldn’t be able to access it. I assumed it was something that once you download you can always access but I am not familiar with the uplay stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But due to time constraints, you'd lose access after what is now 4 days. I'm currently at lvl 17, so if I tried that quest, it would be an automatic L if he sneazed on me.
