Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?



What is this?



Umm... What?



That doesn't tell me anything!



I don't understand.



Well do you have any rules for the thread? Any spoiler policy?

FeyerbrandX has revealed an alternative breakfast.



FeyerbrandX's got some great breakfast in his pantry.

This certainly is... a thing. :suspense: My curiosity is admittedly piqued.

Those aren't bats. Those are Birds in disguise. Only birds are capable of being that big of an rear end in a top hat in a videogame.

Also, obligatory "Ivan For Smash" request.

Birds are even worse though in that. And Medusa Heads.

And not only did they dig out an old car, ship it to Cuba the properly registered and stuck a Gitmo License plate on it. Gotta do this Black Ops completely legally.

This game...

It's just...

(Seriously: this game feels like Vanquish if you toned down the sci-fi part and somehow managed to crank up the crazy even from Vanquish's level of Anime Hillary Clinton's microwave space laser lunacy)

I mentioned this in the Skype chat but it bears repeating here, I love how there are 0 Arabic detainees in Gitmo, as opposed to real life Gitmo, where there are all of them.

It's like they went "where can we have Ivan be imprisoned at the start of the game to show he's a real hard badass?" / "I know, let's have him be in Guantanamo Bay! There's nothing but terrorists* there!" But then someone else went "yeah, but wouldn't that mean you'd spend the first 20 minutes killing nothing but Arabic people on your way out the door?" and Tomonobu Itagaki went "Oh? Oooooooooohhh."


* "Unflawful combatants", I know, I know. And most of them aren't actually charged with any crime because Gitmo's an extrajudicial shithole stain on America.

Yes.
I have to hand it to you, if you had actually introduced this game in the OP or in the new LPs thread, I would've glossed right over it. But as it is, I had to check out what the hell was going on.

I'm still not entirely sure what's going on, really. But I'm bookmarking this thread anyway.

All I know about this game is that it was used as an example of why Hideo Kojima finding a new publisher who isn't Konami might not lead to good games.

Isn't Kojima Productions the actual developers for the Kojima games?

I think the general sentiment in that regard is that Kojima is a man with large, sometimes extravagant ideas for games and that he's the kind of person that needs to be reined in at times. Otherwise you'll have a game under development for a decade that goes through multiple console and engine changes, and comes out massively over budget and just being a generally huge mess. Another good example of this: John Romero.

Also I've sadly got the impression from watching other videos of this game that the drum solo is pretty much the high point of the game and it never reaches that again...but maybe it will?

Wait, the general sentiment is that we DON'T need more games like Devil's Third and Boktai?

I think people could enjoy another Boktai, but I don't get the strong feeling that Valhalla Studios is going to be making many more games. Though looking at their wikipedia page it looks like avid fans of Devil's Third have an online multiplayer only version of the game coming out from Nexon and boy howdy does that scream quality...

ChaosArgate

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

Nintendo of Japan co-owns the IP, so if they want another one, then we very well may have another one. Also the multiplayer is apparently really good and the PC port was done by Valhalla games themselves, so I really hope it comes stateside before this LP finishes so I can get a bunch of people together for it. Also, Itagaki himself plays the multiplayer and he's really good, so there is a very real chance he will make you his bitch if you play against him!
