Metal Gear Solid - Tactical Megathread Action VIII - We Are Diamond Dogs! - Games

I rewatched Clifford the Big Red Dog the other day for nostalgia and just noticed Cam Clarke was in that too. He voiced the ass hole blue dog and the the voice he used was basically American Liquid.

His voice is very noticeable throughout every different voice acting he does, and I like it that way. Always makes me think about Liquid and his crazy obcessive villainous kind of character, which for some reason is extremely entertaining. Maybe its because it has that bigger side of lunacy than of generic bad guy evil or the generic suave "sure of himself" bad guy. Kind of like Murdoc from MacGyver.

Cam Clarke also voiced Kaneda in the original dub of Akira. Or as he refers to him, "Canada".

[QUOTE]Konami’s European Communications Manager Su-Yina Farmer has been teasing a collaboration between Konami and the UK-based Bristol Robotics Laboratory. Bristol Robotics Laboratory is the largest centre for robotics research in the UK. Based here is also Open Bionics, a company that makes affordable bionic arms using 3D printing.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.metalgearinformer.com/?p=19628[/url]

So now Konami expands into two markets: mobile games and bionic limbs.

[QUOTE=cwook;47801655]So now Konami expands into two markets: mobile games and bionic limbs.[/QUOTE] Probably because after a long night of booze and cocain, they cut off several "things" other than just ties to a few company branches, and now they need replacements. Only explanation for Konami's shit: loads of drugs and booze

Just picked up Metal Gear Rising. This game is pretty amusing. Mistral sure talks a lot for a [url=http://i.imgur.com/ti0vXAU.jpg]pile of frozen meat Popsicles.[/url]

Bought some new Metal Gear figures. Been having a ball with them. [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/QdsFXHG.jpg[/thumb]

So I decided to check out the official website Release Date : September 15, 2015 Price : US$ 59.99 / €69.99 (Digital) is this shit for real?

I hope PC details are revealed before the console release. I want to know if the game will be like 40GB or missing some things despite them saying there won't be, because what happens determines whether I stick out for the PC version (and carry my data over) or I spring for the PS4 version.

I mean yeah it's MGS5 but 70€? How is that even close to 59$ anyway?

I don't understand it either especially since the conversion rate is $60 = about €55 right now.

That's bad, even Steam just does a straight dollars to euros comparison (which, while sucks, is still not as bad as $16 dollars more) While I'm thankful for having it on pc at all, this is just asinine.

[QUOTE=ThePanther;47810920]I don't understand it either especially since the conversion rate is $60 = about €55 right now.[/QUOTE] While the €70 is a fucking low blow and a testament to Konami's disconnect from reality, I think the £60 pricetag for Brits is even worse.

feels good to have inferior money right now

[QUOTE=Bokito;47810977]While the €70 is a fucking low blow and a testament to Konami's disconnect from reality, I think the £60 pricetag for Brits is even worse.[/QUOTE] Sixty fucking pounds? That's $92. Jesus, fuck Konami.

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;47811196]Sixty fucking pounds? That's $92. Jesus, fuck Konami.[/QUOTE] It's just like 90s again, where there was absolutely no standard for video game pricing. My mother remembers buying Street Fighter II on the Super Nintendo for $100.

If only steam did what GOG does where they cover the costs for that bullshit.

[QUOTE=Bokito;47810977]While the €70 is a fucking low blow and a testament to Konami's disconnect from reality, I think the £60 pricetag for Brits is even worse.[/QUOTE] WHAT. For the standard edition? Because it ain't gonna be £60. Not even the new cod of dudes it that much.

Where's the price? I only see a "Not yet available".

[QUOTE=Hogie bear;47811911]WHAT. For the standard edition? Because it ain't gonna be £60. Not even the new cod of dudes it that much.[/QUOTE] Exactly. It used to tell the price on the official site, but the price has since been removed. Also, this is the standard game with some Day One dlc junk, we don't even get the special edition content.

That sort of pricing is why I still get physical copies of games. My order on Amazon is going to be £41 max thanks to their preorder policy. Digital games are still way too much in the UK.

We get screwed over on pretty much everything due to companies just saying "fuck it, it's $350 here, it's £350 there.".

[QUOTE=Dick Slamfist;47808298]Bought some new Metal Gear figures. Been having a ball with them. [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/QdsFXHG.jpg[/thumb][/QUOTE] It kind of looks like Gray Fox is about to drop the sickest rhyme of the year.

So has there been any news on MGSV as of the last few months? I stopped following it for a bit, but I'm looking to get caught up with any new footage and whatnot now that it's the next big game I'm looking forward to.

There hasn't been much. Mostly just promotional stuff.
