Kojima's writing is a weird mix of B-movie writing and A+ writing (and no matter which side it falls on for that particular moment it is always great quality) but MGS4 was just a shitty mess of awful characters, a story that tackled its subject the wrong way (and ruined MGS2 in the process) and tied up questions no one even asked as well as ruining questions no one wanted answers for. Plus its gameplay was weak and way too minimal. There are moments of greatness throughout the game tho and you can see it in his writing, I think he grasped too high and fell because of it.
TPP seems more grounded too and BB is a better character than Snake too so im more interested cos of that. And it has more characters that are interesting and better set up adn hopefully not like ruined too. Kojima fucked with stuff way too much in 4.

Meryl and Johnny is the single worst thing to ever come out of the entire franchise

Speaking of which, I heard MGS4 was Kojima actively trying to kill the series off, is that true?
Movies highlighting the struggle that gay people go through on a daily basis are great and all, but I wonder how long it'll be until they release a movie that has a gay character, but doesn't really have to make the viewer [B]notice[/B] that he's gay.
2 hours breaks between lessons in college sucks, go to sainsburys, get some hot food from there, eat it and you still have an hour and a half left

It's a very nice epilogue game.

A sign of good writing is when a character has something like this, but it's not the main basis/defining factor of the character, two good examples would be Arcade Ganon and Veronica from New Vegas, they're both openly gay but they're not flaming homosexuals who's entire character is based on the fact that they're gay.

Yeah Kojima has never planned on making an MGS game when the previous one came out. Like he only made 2 because he didn't trust anyone else to do it and didn't want his franchise to be ruined. 3 was made cos it was his way of giving the fans what they wanted especially after 2. 4 he made because he wanted to end the franchise for good and be done with it forever. Peace Walker... I dunno why he made it. 5 had to come out because of Peace Walker. Every game except maybe 5 was intended to be the last in the franchise, even Metal Gear 1. He only made MG2 because some other American company made their own MG2 which was terrible and fucked up the canon of the first game so Kojima made 2 for essentially the same reason he made MGS2- so some other dudes didnt fuck up his franchise.
But like that's why he made Snake old (personally I loved this choice though, its reasoning was really good and it worked super well as well as working with Snake being tired of war and it basically personifies Kojima in that he wanted to be done) so that he had no adventures in him left. The original ending would have made it even more final. [sp]Snake and Otacon being executed as enemies of the State- personally I think this would have been a perfect ending as it ends their arcs 100% both as they're dead and they've kinda reached their peak? Plus it ties up the parallel between The Boss and Naked->Solid Snake (dying as a true Patriot of the world and not a country despite their name being soiled for all of history to see. Like Solid was the first to see The Boss' vision truly, but it was already too late)[/sp]

The Last Of Us did this with Bill
Also while I sort of agree with ur statement it is also a bit problematic cos I've heard people complain that making a character gay just to make them gay is forced but like so what?? No they have made a gay character cos gay people exist and are the same as everyone else. If one of your characters is gay just cos you decided to make them gay and it's nothing to do with their character aside their sexuality then to me there's nothing wrong with that because you are further showing that gay people are the same as everyone else. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang actually did this with Val Kilmer's character, he was gay but you wouldn't know if he didn't say and it has zero bearing on the plot but it adds some nice character to him.

Making a pub as part of a weekly assignment. I've made significantly more progress that this, but that is the most recent photo I uploaded onto my work dump Tumblr and I don't have access to the work computer.
Gosh I love fucking around with lights.
fable 3 is the worst game i have played, a solid piece of shit through and through
Ive not played Fable 1 and 3 but I played 2 and it was fucking awful
Fable 1 is the best by far according to pretty much everyone ever.
I've only played 1, but it was pretty brilliant.

fable 2 is a goddamned masterpiece in comparison to fable 3.
its not bad from a "put together well" perspective, its bad from a "retarded and conflicting design decision" angle and the retarded and conflicting design is everywhere in the game.

"we want fable 3 to be more immersive so we got rid of health bars and instead replaced them with a giant ass banner that pops up on screen everytime u take damage"
"we want fable 3 to be more engaging so we constantly interrupt our boring ass "gameplay" with ~hilarious~ character-driven action."
"we want to hide the fact that the game is only 4 hours long by dragging out combat sequences for way too long"
"we want combat to be intuitive so we reduced it all to one button press"
"by the way we still have the same 3 enemies since the first game"

you actually have to spend experience points to be able to dye your clothing in game, and they made black dye dlc u had to pay for

2 was fine honestly but 1 was a lot better. They're almost completely different games.
3 was basically just 2 but watered down horribly
I only ever played 2. I got Fable 3 for free through xbox live gold, but didn't find it very enjoyable so I dropped it early. Fable 2 was pretty great, but then again, I didn't play Fable 1
1 and 2 are very different games, but I loved them both for what they were.
I can see why people would be disappointed that 2 didn't end up more like 1, but they're both great for what they are.
3 was pretty shit, though.
[QUOTE=HWECQI;45951621]2 was fine honestly but 1 was a lot better. They're almost completely different games.

i actually didnt think 2 was bad, it just suffered from a lack of shit to do once the story was done. like if they had just kept what they had with fable 2 and expanded upon it instead of making something way different, fable 3 couldve been cool.
now that got fable legends, some stupid ass coop moba bullshit like why cant they just make a normal fucking fable sequel its like they hate money or something
[QUOTE=IceCKryss;45945487]I can't tell if I'm actually fast or everyone else in the class. ss is just slow.

Thanks. So far I at least managed to make the interior look pretty accurate to my idea. I don't have a better screenshot that is up to date than this though.

I feel weird, in a good way, today. Fall weather finally started rolling in, always pleasant. I might be able to pass all of my classes this semester.
Got through the night, gonna celebrate by having to go to class and work.
I've only played Fable 3 and the only memorable thing was the wonky hair physics on that girl from the beginning

Pretty much how I feel about it. I liked 2 a lot, just 1 was a lot stronger
then 3 just stunk, was simplified like hell in comparison to 2. They hyped up the whole deal with being a king, but the best part of the game was when you weren't even king yet, and then the king stuff didn't last that long.
and now we got like The Journey and Fable Legends. I think it's cuz of Molyneux leaving honestly. Even if he made a lot of promises that wouldn't deliver, he at least had a consistent vision usually
u guys are making me think about revisiting Fable 2 but then I remember I have revisited it several times and never enjoyed it so i will just keep playing mgs2

doing all the VR missions. There are hundreds and damn they are loads of fun and some are really tough

I seriously recommend that you play the first game, especially with the expansion.
fable3 sux some black dude impregnated my wife in it
It's always been my opinion that 3 was better than 2, but both were nowhere near as good as 1.
Nobody tends to agree with my opinion, but I really hated (hate is a strong word, I didn't like it nearly as much as 1 and 3 but I still had some fun, I suppose) 2 overall. I liked the character customization and that's about it.
Fable 1 was worth playing, eminently, but 2 and 3 weren't as good. Still not all that bad though.
reminder that fable anniversary (fable 1 hd) is getting PC release this friday
