Metal Gear Solid - A Hideo Kojima Thread - Flimsy Huey and the Phooey Fallacy - Games

[QUOTE=Bread_Baron;48768682]But games generally show their age before they're 10 years old, it's obvious after just a few years. Look at the other games of 2008, MGS4 is great in comparison. (Except Crysis Warhead but that was ahead of its time.)[/QUOTE] MGS4 especially, though. It can barely maintain 20FPS in large portions of the game, and only runs at 1024x576. At the time MGS4 graphics were ground breaking, but now even MGSV will run at 720p ~20-30FPS on PS3 AND look better at the same time.

Kill a dude invading my fob, then immediately retaliate, he comes to defend and I walk right past him and win Feels great Fail to invade the same fob three times because of bad servers, losing gmp, heroism and pf rank each time Feels bad

Psycho Mantis?

[QUOTE=derpybone;48768678]did the rocket punch for extreme cloaked in silence, it counted as a fire arm.[/QUOTE] it is an arm that you fire so it kind of matches the criteria

[QUOTE=tempunary;48768806]Psycho Mantis?[/QUOTE] You're that sniper...

Somehow today I held up a Walker Gear. Not sure how that's even possible

[QUOTE=cubis;48768831]Somehow today I held up a Walker Gear. Not sure how that's even possible[/QUOTE] It's always amusing to just sort of fast-crawl up to people because they don't hear you and hold them up by sticking your gun close to their ass. No one wants to get shot in the ass.

[QUOTE=TheJoey;48768643]there's this weird delay whenever you do things like change your FOB color, steal nukes, and change security settings/personnel that just don't take affect right away. give it half a day?[/QUOTE]how DO you change your fob colors? I can't find it for the life of me.

[QUOTE=cubis;48768831]Somehow today I held up a Walker Gear. Not sure how that's even possible[/QUOTE] Disappointed that we can't cross a busy street with one and become the J-Walker.

I dont get this game, if i try to stealth my way trough a mission going non lethal my rank is pretty much B, went stealth on mission 18, and when i got to the [sp]child soldiers[/sp] i died like 5 times escorting them, went fuck it ordered my armor and a rocket launcher and finally killed that helicopter that came from hell.. by the end i got both the hound Tag and S ranked the mission!?.. i did pull a ton of tactical take downs ,headshots, and Neutralizations..do they help that much?

If you can minimize that and work fast, you'll probably get a higher rank, yeah. S-ranks seem to boil down to speed and/or bonus objectives.

Apparently there was supposed to be a skullface boss fight, but it must have been cut. [url]https://soundcloud.com/gboon/sets/skullface-interaction-noises[/url] Sound Files from the fight?

Not to mention individual retries don't lower your points, only just retrying in the first place.

[QUOTE=Jad Hinto;48768858]how DO you change your fob colors? I can't find it for the life of me.[/QUOTE] From the Customization menu on your iDroid, that only appears when you're in the ACC.

[url]https://soundcloud.com/gboon/sets/skullface-interaction-noises[/url] Sound Files from the fight?[/QUOTE] No you see, there never was supposed to be a fight that's the trick. The absence of Skull Face's fight was meant to be a reference to the phantom pain that you feel when you're disappointed there's no fight It's really deep when you think about it

[QUOTE=RikohZX;48768617]I'm actually curious as to how a 60FPS, smoothed and actually touched-up in terms of model quality remaster of MGS4 would be like, because while the game looks great by PS3 standards it's not even ten years old yet and it's starting to show its age.[/QUOTE] I'm surprised they haven't remastered it for the PS4 yet. It'd be a lot easier to fix up than going back and updating the other games to the Fox engine or something.

Why not? Could have been a good old fashion CQC boss fight.

A fight against Skull Face would be him running away from you while XOF grunts get in the way

It'd kinda be like Ocelot's boss fight in MGS3, but with less meowing and more howling

[QUOTE=d00msdaydan;48769092]A fight against Skull Face would be him running away from you while XOF grunts get in the way[/QUOTE] To be fair, given his [sp]parasites[/sp] and tenacity to live so that Snake kills him personally to perpetuate a cycle of revenge, he could probably handle a fair number of gunshots in terms of gameplay mechanics since apparently he's immune to pain. [sp]Until he's dying, at least.[/sp] Anything would've been better than [sp]MAJOR I'M BURNING UP followed by a cathartic but ultimately anti-climatic demise where Huey of all people finishes him off.[/sp] As if mocking you.

[QUOTE=Reaper33;48769084]Why not? Could have been a good old fashion CQC boss fight.[/QUOTE] *big boss punches him once in the head and skullface falls into a coma* *skull face punches big boss in the shrapnel once and big boss hemorrhages and dies* idk skullface just doesn't seem like the kinda dude to get into a cqc fight with someone.

[QUOTE=d00msdaydan;48769092]A fight against Skull Face would be him running away from you while XOF grunts get in the way[/QUOTE] Who told you that you could fight me!! Whooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[QUOTE=Ager O'Eggers;48768982]From the Customization menu on your iDroid, that only appears when you're in the ACC.[/QUOTE]I only get my mother base for that tho

[QUOTE=NoNameForEvil;48769142]"[i]Please.[/i] I put down [i]my[/i] gun." Sounds like it.[/QUOTE] none of those sound clips sound like there was ever going to be a boss fight sounds like cut dialogue from when [sp]skullface and big boss meet at the helipad and BB doesn't straight away put his gun down[/sp]

[QUOTE=Jad Hinto;48769154]I only get my mother base for that tho[/QUOTE] It should change your FOB too.

[QUOTE=NoNameForEvil;48769142]"[i]Please.[/i] I put down [i]my[/i] gun." Sounds like it.[/QUOTE] meh, with how CQC works in TPP tho it doesnt seem like it'd be as fun as it was doing it in fights like The Boss or Volgin. Like can you imagine just fucking launching Skull Face across the room.

[QUOTE=Ghost101;48769044]I'm surprised they haven't remastered it for the PS4 yet. It'd be a lot easier to fix up than going back and updating the other games to the Fox engine or something.[/QUOTE] Because its apparently so flimsily held together and tied so tightly to the fucked up cpu of the PS3 that they really cant.

[url]https://soundcloud.com/gboon/sets/a-bunch-of-keifer-sutherlands-venom-snake-lines[/url] Damn these sounds make you realise how damn not finished this game is, there is even lines for [sp]Talking paz when you hand images and all stuff and legit interaction instead of goddamn I am dead poop who can't say a goddamn word[/sp] So much wasted sound files. [editline]27th September 2015[/editline] Even when you fire someone.
