OT: Video Game Talk (oh, also the Week before the All-Star Break Pre-Game Talk "archive")

[sethro109]

@S E P H I completely forgot about the PSP, Vita games, and the MGS5 demo called Ground Zeros. Unlike other demos, Ground Zeros is actually a little preview game to MGS5 that's completely cannon, and you should play that before 5. "Portable Ops" and "Peace Walker", both of these games, are cannon. They're fun games, especially Peace Walker, but are very different from the mainline series. They feel very much like a mobile game in the way the missions are set up, and can be kinda grindy. So you might want to watch a summery video on those as well. They both slot in after MGS3 chronology, but release wise it's MGS3, Portable Ops, MGS4, Peace Walker, Ground Zeros, MGS5.

And if we're talking games that are cannon story wise. There's also Revengeance and Acid. I never played Acid. It's a turn based card game that takes place after 4. Revengence is the game furthest in the series and is an action slasher made by Platinum games, but with Kojima's involvement. It's off the rails crazy and very hilarious. This game can be enjoyed anytime after 4. It's cannon and takes place pretty far in the future, but they never really reference what happened in the other games, other than 2 and 4.

I never had a PSP or Vita, not sure if it's worth it at this point in time. Like are the prices good or have they gone crazy higher such as wanting to buy a Nintendo 3Ds? You can tell me what your thoughts concerning that are if you want.

Didn't MGS also have that game you'd cut watermelon as well? Not sure if you talked about it yet or if it is a game like Revengence.

Portable ops is only available on the PSP, and I have no idea how costly umds and PSP are nowadays. I would suggest emulating it on a PC. Peace Walker was ported to the PS3 and Xbox 360. The best way to play that would be on Xbox with backwards compatibility. However, there a high likelihood that those games will be released on PC soon in the MGS collection volume 2.

And the watermelon cutting game is Revengence. At first it was a tech demo to show off the capabilities of Kojima's new game engine, but people like the demo so much, it eventually evolved into Revengence.

Working on my backlog atm, bless Moguri Mod because I might have KMS with how slow battles are in FFIX at normal speed.

I've always meant to play FFIX. That mod sounds awesome. I bookmarked that site for when I finally decide to play.

I keep hearing rumors that theres a FFIX remake in development, but if it's handled like the FF7 one..... It's definitely better to play the original, or at least play the original before the remake.

KCD2 is

A similar experience in a fantasy setting would so f***ing great. No real reason why you couldn't make one from GoT for example and it would print money, they just don't.

What platform are you playing FFIX on?

I've been hoping to see a remaster on Steam but unless it slipped by unnoticed... or are you playing the original on something?

On PC/Steam Deck, the game looks great with the mod I mentioned and has lots of QoL options.

I won the cup. 54 points in the playoffs, 257 in the regular season. Won every award. Now named captain. Makar still doesn't pass to me.

We signed Kylington and are playing him at forward.

There was a lot excitement when BF2042 was released a few years ago. I wonder if Frostbite / Dice will be making the next game as good as BF4. We will see.

This sound track is from 2042 BF. Hopefully the next BF game will be better.

This looks ten times more rad than whatever your favorite thing is

Update: Lehkonen, Nichushkin and Rantanen are scratched. The fourth line is Kylington, Wood and Tony DeAngelo.

BF 2042 is an ok game. Hopefully the next Battlefield game will be the best. They sure make some nice sound tracks in their BF games.

Did this video actually show anything other than the title? Or was it just me?

Well it's the reveal of the original soundtrack, so I'd be surprised if it showed anything other than nonsense in the background.

Man, the soundtrack sucks. Reductive and sounded like it was created by AI.

You won't find me disagreeing. But OSTs for these type of games are usually like that. Something to add tension while the characters can still talk over it. The main song for the game will probably be the popular hip hop song. I remember one year they went with 99 problems by Jay Z and all the commercials had bitch censored. It was pretty funny.

They need to come back to modern day Europe. It's getting ready for another party. I'd go with Nena's 99 Luftballons for the music.
