Now, I may be biased as a long time fan, but I still play MGS1 every few years and I still love it. The first two (or four, depending if you want to count the NES games) Metal Gear games, those are far more outdated and are more a curiosity and are not really required to understand the story, especially with the interview / interrogation of Snake extras on the MGS1 discs.

And the later games are even less outdated than MGS1. I would recommend starting with MGS1 on the PS1 rather than it’s remake since while Twin Snakes was made under Kojima’s supervision, the more Hollywood action movie style of it and especially it’s cutscenes don’t IMO really fit MGS1. It’s a good game in it’s own right for sure, but as an adaptation/remake of MGS1 it’s kinda hit or miss at times.

I mean, Kojima can’t everything he wants, because he wanted to kill Snake and Otacon during his original plans for MGS2, but his staff pushed back and threatened to stop working if he went through with the plan.

Tbh, I didn’t even look at the game itself, I was too distracted by the title.

Am I the only one bothered by the half of an acronym? Like either call it sci-fa or science-fantasy…

Why even shorten the science at that point?

Exactly like this

Riikka Purra made some pretty racist remarks (such as saying if she had a gun on a local train, there would be bodies, referring to immigrants) like fifteen years ago that have resurfaced, at first she wasn’t going to apologize, then she did give a non-apology apology… and it’s unlikely that her opinions have changed much, she’s just learned not to blather about them publicly…

ah, wasn’t aware of that one. I never was a fan of Blizzard, back when they were in their hayday, I was mostly a console kid. I didn’t really get into pc games until late into XP era, and even then our family didn’t have that much money, so I rarely got new games… And when I was able to upgrade to a win7 machine, several years into its existence, Blizzard already had a somewhat tarnished reputation and I wasn’t really interested in their games anyway…

That’s optimistic thinking about OW2, people clearly wanted OW1 to continue.

You know how it goes, fashion goes in cycles and so does everything else. Plus, new idiots are always born and somehow they manage to survive to the age where they do some of the most blatantly stupid shit…

Given the recent string of new remakes being announced, and how Square has been re-releasing updated versions of their old games for modern platforms, I wonder if this will get at least the latter soon.

Maybe in the past, but these days they are pushing hard to get people to use their stuff and to keep using it. They’re not google who throw shit at the wall and see what sticks…

I hope the Fallout and Final Fantasy wikies also migrate out from fandom. Back when they were wikia, they were a lot better. It feels that the search function on fandom is so bad that half the time you’re better off going on google and slapping your search there instead.

I admit, all of my fandom.com experience is post wikia-buyout, but just after they bought wikia and before every wikia.com became a fandom.com site, it was still good.

This isn’t about Mojang. This is about a wiki that is mostly maintained by fans but endorsed by Mojang as the official wiki. If MS tries to force some bullshit Teams or SP solution via Mojang and official branding, the fans will likely abandon it in favor of an unofficial one not hogtied to some BS MS ecosystem.

I’m hoping fallout does as well. Ever since the two fallout wiki merged, I feel like the experience of looking for info on the wiki has been hobbled by fandom.
