I really like the regression of graphics trend lately. It enables the developers to focus in on gameplay, mechanics, and building the world. Personally, I love the style. It reminds me of PS1 days in so many ways.

Ooooh pick me

edit: to the beautiful soul who sent me the invite, may all of your shits be swift and unable to clog the toilet.

I always wondered why the servers were shit. Why are people even doing that to a game server…

I don’t think it is. I played through it a few years back and don’t remember that but I could be dead ass wrong. But the campaign is SO GOOD and relatively short it wouldn’t be that bad just to play through it each on your own. The multi-player is alright, the servers aren’t the best but you can find matches for sure.

Exactly my thought. At least the bots keep me company on twitch when I stream.

Man, I think you just made me want to install the MCC and play through this again.

I wanted to love this game, the story was amazing. But playing this now, man… the graphics are so washed out and bland. I’m not asking for the best quality, but man, it really didn’t age well visually.

With that said, if anyone has any graphical overhaul mods they know of that are good, please send them my way because I would love to actually play through the title.

This screen shot is great though, the shining jewel in the desert peaking over the rocks.

Damn, are they not scared of Nintendo and their legal team by putting Nintendo on the product? Is there something I’m missing here?

I’m over here in the corner enjoying the metal gear collection on my PS3

I also just re-played through this, mgs1 is a fantastic game for so many reasons. It brought me back to when games were meant to be fun and not a grind fest.

I would also like to say maybe take the downtime you have now and play through the VR missions for 2, they add a lot in when it comes to functions of sneaking and playing those will really make you aware of the tools at your disposal, that’s currently what I’m doing when I feel like it.

Yea that’s kinda what I was getting at in my comments on here, maybe not necessarily this comment you replied to, but elite definitely had the ship aspect of the game down, it feels so good to fly around, bur you’re totally right in how you called it a space trucking feel. That’s where I get tired of it even if you can get out of your ship with the expansion now. With all of the comments here I think I’ll wind up buying it here soon and giving it a whirl.

I would say I do to an extent, but elite dangerous solo is pretty egregious i just feel really confined even though you can get out of your ship now. If there were a few more things to do it would check all of the boxes such as things you could do in NMS like build bases, etc. And plus the ship customization is strictly internals and you don’t have the ability to change the overall look of your ship besides skins.

Yea Elite Dangeous is kind of the same, you have to make your own objectives or you’re just running missions to make money to buy ships to be more efficient at those runs and eventually even bigger ships to make more money.

Yea, I would have to agree wholeheartedly that the ship flying is awesome in Elite. The ambiance is great, such as the creaking of the ship when in hyper drive. I guess the games are two different kind of space Sims. If what you’re telling me is accurate about NMS then Elite is probably better for me in the long run, I just wish I had a friend who would actually play it with me and make space a little less lonely - I guess I would have the same problem in either title come to think of it.

As someone who wanted to love Elite Dangerous but couldn’t get behind the grind and monotony of it, would this game be worth getting now?

Fuck, it looks like I’m finally going to have to buy the Samurai Jack game.

I played the ever living hell out of Gen 1 and 2 and I can confindently say Gen 2 was a fucking masterpiece. I’ll never forget swimming from Johto to Kanto and the feeling that gave me. Also, Gen 3 was reaaaaaaaaaaaaally good.

Yea, it’s a real banger. For the uninitiated, it’s set in Feudal Japan that plays like Resident Evil but with Demons instead of zombies. And they have one of the 3 titles on steam for a relatively fair price if you don’t have access to a ps2 and a physical copy.

Onimusha!
