That loving Sned posted:I've had MGS4 since it came out, but I never bothered to try the online mode due to that Konami ID system. It looked quite good, going by the videos Chip Cheezum made. It wasn't that bad at all except for one terrible, terrible, terrible thing that utterly killed it: invincibility frames. After every shot you became invincible for about half a second, so it made automatic weaponry utterly useless, made the rifles overpowered and headshots were instant kill. So about a month in you had the real dedicated people turning quick corners and getting headshots against an entire team. If you played with friends or one of the more esoteric modes, it wasn't that bad but flying solo was horrible. The best moment I had in that was when I was Johnny and ending up making GBS threads myself which then stunned all my teammates who where then killed by sniper fire. We all laughed hard at that.

Trying to play this free Warhammer Space Marines game from the PS+ deal and I realized why nerds love this poo poo: because its loving retarded. What kind of sci fi futuristic universe has guys with british accents dressed up in jousting armor fighting the guys from Lord of the Rings? "Oi I just sliced a wee Ork nob milord" this game could actually be a decent Gears of War ripoff if it werent completely lame and stupid

Several of the DLC packs added new characters to play as, such as Raiden and Vamp. Does anyone know how they played like?

Metal Gear Online was scientifically designed to let players be the coolest motherfuckers in videogames. Unfortunately, all of that coolness comes at the expense of other player's fun. If you aren't the guy who knows how to work the mechanics to your advantage you are probably going to have a lovely time, and if you haven't been playing obsessively since launch, you are not that guy. I love MGO, but I fully acknowledge its probably not a very good game if only a quarter of people in any given game are actually having fun.

I didn't get to try MGO on PS3 because the poo poo would never load for me and then download updates. I wanted to give it a shot, but it would constantly refuse me, so I just gave up. It's a shame too, since I really wanted to be given the chance to play as Meryl, Raiden, and Johnny. And then there was Portable Ops, which was kind of fun until I realized how easily my characters could die. ...And then stay dead. Not really sure how that whole mechanic was supposed to be fun. The online that came with MGS3 Subsistence was absolutely fantastic though. I loved that entirely and would pay Konami to put a version of that on PSN.

I never got through GOW3 so that Omega Pack might be pretty neat, but I feel the dumb statue is going to price it ridiculously high. $40 for all (5)? games would be awesome.

MGO is a great idea until you realize Konami kept the same awful hit detection of single player MGS. So you unload half a clip from an assault rifle at a guy at point blank and only 3 bullets actually hit him as he has to do his little "OW!" animation. This is why everyone wound up playing the game with sniper rifles for the bigger one hit damage.

The thing about getting bonuses in Infamous 2 based off of your Infamous 1 trophies turned out to be a lie and I think that's why people are still confused about it. Sucker Punch said -- pretty much up until right before the game came out -- that the bonuses were based off of your Infamous 1 trophies. Then when the game came out and people were confused as to why they weren't getting the bonuses, Sucker Punch basically said, "By 'trophies' we meant 'completed game save,'" which a lot of people no longer had (I didn't have my old save data because my old PS3 died, and it seemed like a lot of people were in the same boat). The rewards were terrible anyway; it was something like one extra blast core and a few extra experience points. It'd save you maybe five minutes of time.

Yeah, the game is just mindless square square square triangle plus some shooting sections, but it's still a fun action game. Even better now that it's free.

RIP MGS Online, I played you for a bit then gave up. You had to grind EVERY skill. You could grind box skill. You would join a game where everyone was wearing a box and running around. Weird game.

I played 2 matches of MGS Online. One went rather well. The other I got griefed by a teammate. At the start of the match he put me in a sleeper hold, carrier me into the line of fire, choked me to sleep and then placed a Playboy magazine by my body. When I eventually woke up I couldn't help but stay on the ground looking at the playboy and kicking my feet behind me like an idiot, all while being shot at. You won MGSO, you made me realize what all the guards I torment in single player MGS games would feel like if they were real.

The Warhammer 40k fiction is ridiculous and people who take it seriously, rather than as an excuse to bolt chainsaws on as many things as possible, are chumps. Chainsaw guns? Please. 40k has had chainswords, chainknives, chainaxes and chainfists (that's massive power fists with little chainsaws on the bottom) for decades.

Well played, whoever you were.

Also go crosspost this in the griefing thread, because I don't think anyone's mentioned MGS Online yet.

So im having fun so far flying around causing chaos in JC2 but have yet to unlock anything else after the Unwar Boys takeover of the power plant and explosives seem to be few and far between. Is there something im missing? I really want triggered explosives and im guessing the primary way of getting those is unlocking in the black market?

I think the first missions are all relatively close to each other, actually. They are either red, blue, or yellow stars on your map.

Virtua Fighter isn't really like other fighting games. It's the only one that tries to be a fighting simulator than a over the top flashy crazy thing. It seems simple with it's three buttons but the combos are deep and varied and there's nothing an opponent can throw at you that you can't counter but there's also no counter that they can't counter. It goes fairly deep with the amount of moves you can do from other moves and the amount of ways you can react to your situation are staggering.

I donno, I thought this one was kind to newcomers. It has a detailed tutorial at least. That's about as friendly as a fighting game can get.
