>>979141 The Boss is indeed a Mary Sue feminist hippie cunt. Fags here don't want you to know that Hackjima was always shit.

>>979242 Hideo Kojima is like the George Lucas of video games, They both did great stuff, but they're not the 2nd coming as some of their fanboys would have liked you to believe in their heyday. They just made stories that are heavily inspired by of some of the movies they really liked. Which there really isn't anything inherently wrong with that, no story is entirely original. The movies/games they made are entertaining, and that's all they need to be. There is nothing wrong with enjoying their work, but it's also important not treat them like the 2nd coming of Jesus, because they're human like the rest of us. I'm sure if most of us were given complete and total control over a production to make a movie/game exactly how we envisioned with nothing but yes men at our side, and nobody criticizing our ideas to help refine the story into something better, then we'd probably make missteps too. Who out there is actually perfect?

No amount of seething will retroactively make Metal Gear bad.

>>979267 You misunderstand. I love the games. They play quite well, they're very interesting, and even the premise and themes discussed work well for me. It's just… the whole thing is retroactively the fault of some mary sue whore who could never have existed in the era.

>>978603 One was created with a modicum of professionalism and knowledge of how modeling an designing a character should be done. Gritty Fake realism for the sake of gritty fake realism is the modern day excuse for the lack of talent. She looks exactly like any other AAA open world sandbox experience side character. Realistic portrayal, either physically or mentally can't stand on its own. See AI art. I'm glad i just did my part and didn't contribute to what has become of gaming and art design in general. Enjoy.

https://invidious.incogniweb.net/embed/JzN5viHF4Qo? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzN5viHF4Qo Pretty interesting video by George Salonikh. "Posting two links because I'm not 100% sure that Invidious link is going to embed" He got the bottom of the MGS3 Ranking system, and figured out that nearly every ranking guide online is entirely wrong, because the first person to write one of these guides 20 years ago just copied most of the lower rank requirements from MGS2 instead of actually getting the correct requirements MGS3 asks for, and then all the other guides copy that first guides wrong information. The only Accurate guide he could find is from Samurai Gamers. https://samurai-gamers.com/metal-gear-solid-3-snake-eater/list-of-titles-and-how-to-get/

>>994352 A lot of faqs on the internet are like that to the point where I think a lot of them aren't actually made by people who actually played the game.

>>994352 Sounds about right with Konami and they're not giving a shit attitude about incorrect information being spread on their games. For example they hired that GameFaqs Fag to write their game guides for Silent Hill and his misinformation got spread to the fucking Silent Hill wiki.

>thread's been up for half a year with no image in the OP Fix your fucking site already.

I've been playing Vol 1 and its the first time I've experienced MGS2. Its pretty fun, but Kojima's constant beating you over the head with his messages is grating on my nerves. Maybe I'm old but the constant shounenshit trope of "WHY DO WE BATTLE? WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOORRR??" gets really old, really fast.

The Current Devs have been holding good to their word when it comes to continuing to improve the collection. MGS2 and MGS3 got another big update. >Better Screen/Resultion settings >Actual controller rebinding >Improved Mouse and Keyboard Settings >Mouse look support added to MGS2 now.

>>994352 >>994432 Yes, virtually all of the "game secrets/information/walkthrough" websites just copy and paste things from each other without even pretending otherwise. Ross (the Freeman's Mind one) uncovered a typo on the level select guide of an obscure video game from the '90s that every single website had simply copied from the original (mistyped) source. Not even the pretense of checking it. He had to figure out where the spelling error was himself.

>>994554 Gameplay being second to story, and characters never shutting the fuck up, is all okay when Kojima does it.

Hypothetical for discussion: Since Kojima had minimal involvement in it and its in its own canon, how would people feel about a 3D Ghost Babel remake (ala Trials of Mana) after Delta?

new trailer

>>1019548 >Afraid to show EVAs cleavage What the fuck happened to society?

>>1019548 It looks good in still pictures, but something is very of with the graphics in the trailer.

>>1019565 It looks ok given that they just slapped it into UE4.

>>1019699 Apparently it's in UE5, that's a great sign given it's performance :^).

>>1019548 Interesting that they turned the Mary Sue that destroyed the entire franchise into a tranny.

>>1019704 Sure, just pick the one moment shes grunting and in a fight scene.

>>1019705 So screenshot the one where she's standing there with the exact same face, coward.

>>1019709 I wont because its always the same shit. Thats like screenshoting the face of an actress in the middle of a stunt, you go from pretty girl to constipated gremlin.

>>1019711 Most actresses don't do their own stunts, they hire ugly girls and edit in the face of the actress.

>>1019557 >>Afraid to show EVAs cleavage You were saying?

>>931193 Snake doesn't look solid blending into the background.

>>1020478 The cleavage is covered in this very picture. What ISN'T covered however is how much they shrunk her breasts.

>>1020757 the fuck is a calorie mate? looks fine to me

>>1020478 >Calorie Mate I bought one of these out of curiosity at a Japanese market. Still got the box. It tasted terrible. No idea why they eat these things.

>>1020783 >the fuck is a calorie mate? It's a Japanese energy bar that's nutrient balanced and calorie dense and shelf-stable. It's cheap and meant as an emergency food or a meal replacement. Most Japanese eat it when they do not have a time for a proper meal as a sort of last resort, when sick, to get some calories during or right after a workout, or as a struggle meal. If you read enough manga or light novels you will run into references to it. It's somewhat popular among Japanese college students. It belongs to the same niche in Japan that instant soups, peanut butter, instant mac and cheese do in the west. Cheap food that's shelf stable, quick to make, and relatively filling. Perfect for someone broke and with a limited amount of time. >>932283 OD that he is working on with Jordan Peele is the movie-game hybrid. I suspect that his espionage game will be either MGS4 or 5 all over again or back to basics type of project. I am just mildly happy that at least someone is making a big budget stealth game again.

>>1020478 That's my cleavage, right there.

Seems like EVA's voice actress was finally confirmed after two decades. It is indeed Jodi Benson, who used the pseudonym Suzetta Miñet because she was well known for her role as Ariel (The Little Mermaid) at the time and wanted to maintain her family-friendly public image. Apparently she used to have a pet named Suzette Monet and used that as inspiration after a suggestion from Kris Zimmerman Salter. Konami released this information officially in an interview video with David Hayter about the MGS Δ: Snake Eater game. https://archive.md/PJTRd https://yewtu.be/watch?v=iDIWFh7nYa4

>>1036653 That's some pretty cool trivia anon.

>>1036653 >Jodi Benson >Ariel (The Little Mermaid) at least they didn't cast nuAriel as Eva in the remake

>>1038619 That Somalian pirate from Captain Philips with an Ariel wig isn't too much uglier than Halle Bailey.
