GGT 153 Got In Twouble :(

[quote name='panzerfaust']bomberman, olga, vamp? come on! that game was wild fun. and stealthing was intense, though certainly the franchise has adopted a more rambo style of game recently.[/QUOTE]

Yuck didn't really like any of the characters you just mentioned. It was annoying that vamp came back for MGS4. If I liked anyone it was Solidus Snake.

It wasn't really about going rambo in the new games, for me at least. I played 3 by having the right camo on all the time and slowly sneaking around and executing everyone, same with 4 (except obviously the suit did the camo stuff, but I got the inch worm award when I beat the game, for crawling a super long distance, haha). The problem is that if anyone died in MGS2 I'm fairly sure they sent a squad in so you basically played the game and couldn't kill anyone, it was non-lethal or prepare to hide for a few minutes. In MGS I want to stealth, but I kill everything that moves.
 
My point was $30 extra dollars for an artbook is steep. I'm pretty sure that's *all* that separates the LE from the regular edition. Someone in here guessed it might be a placeholder price when it went up on Amazon, but it hasn't dropped yet. I might just have to cancel it and pick up the collection at a later time then.
 
[quote name='hankmecrankme']You know what game series needs an artbook?

You know who needs to get on skype? I'll give you a hint, it's not you and it's probably everybody else.
 
Been meaning to get this one at some point too, I've flipped through it before and I really like some of the pieces, plus it's nice having a book with so many different styles.

This is one of the ones I was talking about.
 
I bought that amnesia. I don't know why. I'm never going to play it and I've haven't gotten drunk in like four months, so no review on it either.

Work tomorrow should be fun. Boss will be out as will one of the two people who knows how to do their job, and we'll be having a overly complicated party for the kids. That shouldn't be a hassle.

Also, I have tight foreskin. I have to do stretches in the shower to loosen that shit up. I share this with you guys cuz we're friends.

I loved Solidus. Such an interesting character. I also loved Raiden's totally out of place relationship conversations with Rose. That game was hilarious. Fat man on rollerblades was awesome too.

I liked 2 even more than the original, although 3 is king. Really looking forward to playing Peace Walker in the collection since I love Big Boss and haven't played my PSP copy because PSP controls and tiny screen.
 
[quote name='icebeast']Not really:

Alice Madness Returns
Valkyria Chronicles
Monster Hunter
Persona

Which reminds me I want to get that Persona artbook for the cover alone. I'll probably end up pre-ordering it.[/QUOTE]

But all of those examples are for purchasing the artbook separately, not for buying a CE with an artbook in it.

Gears 2 had a hardcover artbook in the LE with steelcase, dlc, etc. and was $10 (maybe $20 extra). My Dark Souls CE came with a hardcover art book for the standard $60. Batman Arkham City came with a statue and an artbook for $40 extra. So $80 for the sole difference of getting an artbook with the game still seems fucking steep to me. Though I guess I'm locked into it, since Amazon decided to apply my gears of war 3 $20 credit. fuck. I guess I'll be reselling it if the price doesn't come down... hopefully there's a market for it.

See, I'm the opposite -- nothing in the series touches the first game for me. Not even close. MGS2 was great because of the leap it made in technology and graphics, but the dick move of playing as snake for 30 minutes followed by an entire game as Raiden? At that point, fuck you Konami... the only redeemable things for me about MGS2 was that you could kind of try to use Raiden's katana (but it didn't really seem to work so great so I was let down) and Vamp. Maybe the female villain, but definitely not Fatman. And from there, 3 just felt worse to me. Maybe it's because I played the original and not the director's cut with improvements? I don't know, but the only thing I found to be solid in that game was a couple of the bossfights. By the time I hit the main base after The End, I was rolling my eyes and thinking "c'mon, how much more of this do I have to deal with?!".

So 1 is king, 2 was solid, 3 was nothing special. 4 had a lot of potential, but squandered it in a lot of places with too many cutscenes and not enough gameplay... acts 1 2, and 4 were good and part of 5 perhaps. I just wanted it to be much longer, it felt too shart (again, too much watching, I'd say, not enough of the awesome gameplay). Thinking about it, I kind of wish they'd released a MGS4:Subsomethingorother with trophy support and some extra gameplay. I'd buy that for $50ish day 1, but at this rate, it won't ever happen until the complete MGS remaster collection on PS4.

Those other artbooks are tiny though. The MGS one looks to be a legit art book like the Udon kind that retail for $40 or more.

Yeah, I can definitely understand why you (and quite a bit of other people) feel that way. I personally like 3 the best because of the characters, story, and bosses. And I've always been totally ok with 4 being half-movie, since I've always cared more about the story in the MGS series than gameplay. For just about any other series I would probably feel the same way as you about that amount of cutscenes.

Exactly what I was trying to point out, most CE game art books are barely an art book they have maybe 20-30 pages. The art book for MGS HD CE is 250 pages that is 10+ times as much content (and basically no art book I've ever gotten as a bonus for a game has been that big, I'm kind of tempted to get that CE just for the art book).

I love MGS3 (my favorite in the series) for the exact same reasons, I totally fell in love with Big Boss (he is greater than Solid Snake any day). I also really enjoyed the gameplay in MGS3 as well though, the camo system was totally fun to sneak around and kill people with, and I loved the classic setting and gear.

In that case, maybe it's okay -- I only have other CEs to compare it to, so maybe it is worth it -- I guess I'll take a look and see when it gets here. My only real hope is they don't pull some sort of idiot move like the Gears 3 or Batman AC CEs and put the disc somewhere stupid -- I hope it's just the normal case or whatever packaged with an artbook.

As far as MGS3, I think other than The End and the concept of The Sorrow (which must've sucked for you, since you seem to be "sneak and kill" not "sneak and subdue" ;)) and the other "boss", I don't thinK I liked anyone (not the love interest [forgot her name], not The Swarm, not the russian guy who's name I forgot, not young Ocelot... :p)
 
[quote name='ihadFG']Part of the reason I loved 3 so much was because of Eva. That relationship really gave the game a James Bond sort of vibe, but cooler.[/QUOTE]

Agreed. I loved her interactions with Big Boss. But I mean Big Boss ended up with an eye patch, which is awesome, so of course all the ladies want him.

Get it on PS3.

MGS on a 360 pad? No thanks. :nottalking:

She's actually fairly old for how young she looks (she's 26 so she's 2 years older than me).

1. I believe it. All hot chicks are bitches.

Don't let movies and TV lie to you.

The GGT has Ashley Tisdale fever (although to be fair I find her more cute and someone that I'd like to look like than someone I'd want to date).

It's called "having a dick". Helps that she's pretty attractive too.

Don't misconstrue this into me implying that she's a tranny. :nottalking:

I think JSP is more attracted to me than icebeast based on what he said on skype.

Totally. He said you were the 2nd most attractive GGT member, behind Cheska because she's a girl.

Actually, since she's not a member anymore, you win.

uraizen = sexiest in the GGT.

Though JSP is now dating Charlie Sheen again, so dunno what that's worth.
