I got really bored. [t]http://i.imgur.com/PGl3PPK.jpg[/t]

I A-ranked the destroy the AA emplacements by fucking around. PT still scares the crap out of me

i don't really keep up with mgs or its community. but i did play ground zeroes and it was actually pretty fantastic. i really like how the contrast between mgs and pt shows how versatile the engine is at different environments and atmospheres. that being said has there been any mod that's replaced snake with mgs1 snake?

I think there should be a guide somewhere that tells which files you need to edit.

[QUOTE=Dick Slamfist;47051269]I know this refers to his suit, but I wonder as well if there's some kind of feature like Sleeping Dogs had where he'll be covered in bruises and blood after a rough mission[/QUOTE] [url]https://twitter.com/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN/status/559615029457084417[/url] Seems kind of weird that it looks like he just had a bucket of blood poured on him though, instead of bullet wounds.

[QUOTE=riku2211;47051374]See, while I totally agree with that, there occasionally comes the time in games like MGS4 where I put on the FaceCamo mask for one section and then unwittingly walk into a cutscene. Like, I don't want that shitty mask on, I wanna see Snake's face. And THEN it sometimes switching to him not having it on, which also irks me slightly. There's no winning.[/QUOTE] The facecamo shenanigans don't even come close to the rage you feel when the cutscene is over and you're holding a M4 again even though you meant to try one of the other 100 guns.

[QUOTE=Dick Slamfist;47051197]Pre-rendered cutscenes in any game with unlockable costumes rustle my OCD like you'd never believe. I remember it bothered me so much in Assassins' Creed III that Connor's colours would always revert to boring old red white and blue in cutscenes Dammit, I wanted white and red CANADIAN robes.[/QUOTE] It's not as bad as games that [i]don't[/i] use pre-rendered cutscenes and still fuck it up. Like Mass Effect 2, every other cutscene Shepard pulled out an assault rifle, but I was playing an Infiltrator and couldn't even carry assault rifles. Though I will never understand the use of pre-rendered cutscenes, they should only be used to show things the game engine can't do, or preferably just do something the engine can do.

[QUOTE=evlbzltyr;47052231]...you realise that encompasses literally everything ever[/QUOTE] Yes. I was saying you shouldn't use a pre-rendered cutscene if you can do it all in game. Like Saints Row 3 has loads of pre rendered cutscenes but nothing that happens in them is impossible to do in game. They just take up a lot of space and look worse than the actual game because they can't upscale and run at 720p.

[QUOTE=Griffster26;47050175]I know this has probably been asked hundreds of times, but how the hell do I defeat Sam? I can't parry for shit (I also have no idea how to and online guides suck for console games).[/QUOTE] how the fuck did you survive monsoon

I remember it bothered me so much in Assassins' Creed III that Connor's colours would always revert to boring old red white and blue in cutscenes Dammit, I wanted white and red CANADIAN robes.[/QUOTE] When I was playing Black Flag, which has in-game cutscenes, I was told "How dare you wear these clothes without representing yadayadayada". But in the cutscene I was just wearing civilian clothing and the game thought I was wearing the robes.

I couldnt parry for shit and still kinda completed MGR..... Lets just say I almost broke shit. My mind is just not capable of parrying. Just not.

[QUOTE=Egevened;47052365]how the fuck did you survive monsoon[/QUOTE] monsoon does really shit damage, so if you have a bunch of nanopastes and you parry once or twice, it'll be done fast

MGS4 really needed less guns. The customisation options were already really good imo but it was ruined by having about 20 assault rifles. I get that it's realistic to have every group use a different gun, but it just feels bloated. A better compromise would be like 2-3 guns for each category.

i hope mgs5 has lots of guns

Yeah you might not be able to find ammunition for it all the time, but you can always just buy some.

Prerendered cutscenes were a pretty big problem in MGR in my opinion. They made the game take up about 30GB even though the cutscenes looked worse than ingame footage.

Fuck the scientists and engineers in mgs3

Like, it would make no sense otherwise. Why would it be shaped just like the MGR font. Why would it be a similar blue. Why the Kojima brand lense flare. Why a fancy 2 for no reason.

Why is there an eye in the two?

You should all know by now NOT to trust Kojima's lies.

[QUOTE=Xonax;47053788]Why is there an eye in the two?[/QUOTE] maybe people think it's grey fox's glowing eye, you can kind of make out the silhouette of his head around the eye [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/jx5qmmL.jpg[/IMG] i'm not saying it actually is that i just think it's what people are imagining it to be

I'm not seeing it.
