I like that he used the clip from B.L.A.C.K. in the intro. that game seems to have been forgotten but had some of the most satisfying gun sounds/mechanics of that era.
No matter what EA do i will always love Battlefield for giving me plenty of my favourite sidearms. I would buy Dragons Teeth just to unlock the Unica if i had any money. I love that thing.
Glad to see a clip of Firearms: Source in there. It's actually probably one of the worst weapons in the game though.
God damn that video was [I]really[/I] well made and polished. Props on all the history and different gameplay videos, too.
I thought opening without "Six bullets, more than enough to kill anything that moves" was a wasted opportunity, but he managed to sneak it in near the end like a champ.
No Call of Juarez mention? :(
He didn't mention the fact that Colt owned the copyright on revolving cylinders, and that people only still kept making pepperbox guns with revolving barrels because they'd get the pants sued off them if they infringed on said copyright.
he missed the opportunity to say "equalizer" at the end :(
There was way too little Revolver Ocelot in that video, and the little there was is from the bad MGS1 remake. Either way his video production skills are so goddamn slick, makes watching these such a joy.
Shoulda mentioned the only real reason revolvers are more reliable is because they can handle odd shaped bullets better. And generally they're not high powered, most being in .38. Lots of semi-auto's that can handle high powered rounds.

[QUOTE=Morbo!!!;47178724]Glad to see a clip of Firearms: Source in there.

I still own BLACK. Never finished it because past me couldn't get through the asylum (hospital ?) level, shit got really hard. This game was really damn satisfying, but holy shit were the missions hella long.

Revolvers have always been beautiful works of art. Hell, most weapons in general are works of art, regardless of the purpose.

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;47184961]but work of art may be a bit over the top[/QUOTE] Why not? Most of them look really sleek and beautiful.

Fuck, that clip of borderlands was not flattering at all. I love that game but my god did it not age well...

[QUOTE=zombays;47187064]Meanwhile, Okami looks fucking fantastic[/QUOTE] What does that have anything to do with anything?
[QUOTE=simkas;47187188]What does that have anything to do with anything?[/QUOTE] They're both cel-shaded? And Okami did it better cause that game aged much more gracefully?
[QUOTE=zombays;47187345]They're both cel-shaded? And Okami did it better cause that game aged much more gracefully?[/QUOTE] Borderlands isn't cel-shaded, it just has drawn looking textures and outlines on everything. Okami has a ton more shaders going on to make it look like what it does.

[QUOTE=Pikablu07;47187506]i have yet to hear a good reason why twin snakes is bad in comparison to PS1 metal gear solid[/QUOTE] From what I understand, it's because it gets ramped up to the MGS levels of crazy that kojima wanted in the original MGS but couldn't due to hardware restrictions. I haven't played it, but that is my understanding of why.
[QUOTE=Pikablu07;47187506]i have yet to hear a good reason why twin snakes is bad in comparison to PS1 metal gear solid[/QUOTE] According to hardcore fans, the addition of first person aiming makes the game too easy. Like, in the original's Ocelot fight, you have to run around the pillars and shoot him, in the Twin Snakes, you can just go into first-person, aim between the pillars and just shoot him from a position where he can't shoot back.
