Lexx Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Peace Walker. Got my Zeke (not working yet), got my base, got nearly 300 soldiers. Feeling good about the whole endeavor. Definitely a better game than MGS4 was. I wonder if any of the management aspects are going to return for Phantom Pain. From what we can see in the gameplay videos so far, it probably will be quite similar. And seeing how Ground Zeroes is made up, I wouldn't be surprised if Phantom Pain will get a similar mission structure as Peace Walker had. Me personally I would be happy with it.

Hassat Hunter Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 I wish Fate of Atlantis would be remastered. On the other hand, though, better not. Dungeon Keeper 1, Remastered, that's one I'd buy! ...oh wait, EA, never mind. It seems mostly the games that really don't need it (look just fine) get remastered. Serious Sam, Halo, Painkiller, Fable... just a few where you wonder why the heck they needed a paintover. The actual good re-makes are however thin and far between :/ Glad to have done some work with one of them (Majesty Gold ) ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created.

Zoraptor Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Once you unlock the guillotine gun in AC Unity, there's no point using any other weapon. Guillotine Gun? My mind, it boggled. Not sure if I'm disappointed or not that it's just a gunblade analogue, I was sort of hoping for a gun that actually fired Guillotines. Still, as a side effect I know about the might actually have been real Chinese 'Flying Guillotine', which I'm sure will be useful in future. 3

Similar in broad strokes maybe. Peace Walker and Portable Ops have their structures because they were on portable systems. They were designed so you could play in short segments with plentiful stopping points. And with the memory restrictions on the PSP. With them going for open world I don't suspect that'll be the case in Phantom Pain. Big maps with lots to do, where the mission structure in the portable games was always one thing to do at a time.

It fires mortar rounds. In any case, I finished the Dead Kings DLC. The end fight was a piece of cake. But, geeze, enough with the pieces of Eden.

Keyrock Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Finished the story in Dying Light. The story started out well enough, but very rapidly devolved into a paint by numbers, been there done that a million times ordeal. I think Techland had a contest to see how many cliches they could cram into one storyline. Luckily, the gameplay in the game is really fantastic and just keeps getting better... until the final boss fight, which is a freaking QTE battle. What. The. ****? What better way to cap off a game filled with great gameplay than in the laziest, most non-gameplay way imaginable. Oh well, I can now freely run around Harran and just **** around with no worries about the main story (I could do that before too). The side activities are for the most part a lot more interesting than the main story anyway. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks

Yeah, but you also get the Base building and Base management in Phantom Pain. So I am pretty sure you will be able to "get back to Base" at nearly any time or after finishing off a bigger mission target. Right now I am guessing that the Phantom Pain gameplay will be mission style and these missions will feel like Ground Zeroes. 1 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
GhostofAnakin Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Started Dying Light. I've got to re-organize my reactions to the configuration of the various buttons. I keep trying to jump using the wrong button. Also, what's the point of getting new clothing when you can't even see it since the game is in FP view? Even in cutscenes, the only thing you see are your hands/gloves.

Bartimaeus Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Uh...I haven't played the game, but I would presume stats. Dying Light would hardly be the first game to have different clothing you can wear without being able to see it - it *might* be the first game to have different clothing you can equip which neither you can see nor is of any use at all...but I probably wouldn't bet on that, either.

While it seems you'll be able to go back at any time, the soldier collecting as well as the base building aspects from PW seem to be intact. For that I couldn't be happier. As for what I've been playing, it's been a lot of Far Cry 4 while any Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and Majora's Mask 3D that I can get in. On Twitter @MikeyDowling

Nonek Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Finished Ultima Underworld, going on to 2. I put it off for years because I didn't think I'd like an old clunky blobber. Well, I don't think it's the greatest thing in the universe, but it was good fun and it is definitely a special game with sometimes outstanding level design. Personally I found Labyrinth of Worlds to be a far better, tighter narrative and the slowly unlocking worlds to be a very refreshing mechanism that really rewarded exploration. The interconnectedness of the worlds and the amount of content even in Castle British itself was also quite well done. Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot!
