I was the exact same way. I hated Ground Zeroes throughout the first day I played it. It clicked on the second day. It's a bad Metal Gear Solid game but otherwise a decently fun mash-up of MGS4 and Peace Walker and Far Cry.

I can't really tell if it's a good idea to release pandemic-based video games right now or not. It seems in poor taste in some ways and in others it's pretty much our lives so why wouldn't it be front and center in entertainment.

Kakushigoto and Tower of God have both earned a few more episodes of interest from me. I don't think the gag in Kakushigoto will last more than a few episodes. Tower of God's setting is interesting but Made In Abyss did the concept (in the reverse) a lot better too

Was acks kind of surprised that there was even a PSNProfiles ultra rare trophy among these, it wasn't that difficult

Day 1 Me Going Through All The Five Stages of Metal Grief Solid Day 2 Me Looks like I'll be attempting to 100% GZ at least ;_;

The old-school ones don't play very well but they def still make it up with cool characters and blood and guts. I did play the reboot on 360 (and am going to again on PS3), that one played pretty good all around and had a really fun story (in a previous game, the world ended, so Raiden transports back in time and has to change the outcomes of the first three tournaments to figure out how to prevent it in the future, I guess the next two games after that re-do MK4 and then something else)

Aight, just popped in Ground Zeroes, here we go I have one major desire for MGSV

I think I liked the flow and setting of ZOE 1 more but some of the boss battles and major battles of ZOE 2 better.

I'm hoping they still have dual audio in it, Perfect Cell as Metal Face = <3

Well goddamn, pal

Xenoblade Remaster in May Nintendo's p. much dominating quarantine life

One of the ugliest designed last bosses I've ever seen

Pokemon 2019 One Piece Black Clover SAO Alicization Fruits Basket I'd like to watch Kingdom but I just haven't gotten around to the previous two seasons yet I'll try the rest so that'll probably increase

With everyone else shut down, finally catching up on Ring of Honor and BOLA 2019

Not that it's a surprise, but Sakura Genesis (Mar 31) and Road to Dontaku (Apr 11) have been cancelled

I like the aesthetics and how fast the gameplay is. The bad voice acting and character looks sorta reminded me of older 3D Sanic games.

Wow, sounds like they're pre-taping Mania this year

(Yeah, I'm almost certain I'll try for GZ's 100% and TPP's Platinum when it comes down to it and I'm just talking out of my ass. Revengeance may not be do-able just because my reflexes aren't that good)

>Do you buy as many new (or new-to-you) games as you used to? More? Less? I buy more games than I used to, but far less new games since I learned my lesson in 2010 with No More Heroes 2 on Wii. Bought that new, beat it by the next day, looked at No More Heroes 1, which I got out of the bargain bin for $20, and recognized which was better value. Mostly the only games I buy for full price are Nintendo's mainline games, because those never drop in price or it takes until the console's dying to get Selects out >Do you play games as much as you used to? Off and on. >Do you now buy more digital compared to in the past when it was more or all physical? Way more digital than I used to because the sales are better. I used to worry about servers shutting down and leaving me without the ability to redownload games I bought, but a) except for Nintendo we seem to be functioning okay with that and b) every game these days has some kind of Day 1 patch or download that goes along with it so buying physical doesn't guard against that anymore. I'll go out of my way to buy physical for games that there's enjoyment in owning, but otherwise the Wal-Mart bargain bin and digital sales are whoever-gets-to-me-first, and more of the digital sales are getting to me first these days >Do you stream games? (Did Google Stadia ever become a thing? I'm out of the loop ) No, and I worry about the world going this way, because our data caps in Canada won't be able to handle it. I have to specifically plan when to get patches and digital downloads, unless data compression gets significantly better and/or data caps raise (it has happened before, but they're gonna do it kicking and screaming), I'm out if games go full streaming

1) One Piece - Pirate Warriors 3 1a) Journey 2) Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty HD (Platinum) 3) Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater HD (Platinum) 4) Metal Gear Solid IV: Guns of the Patriots (Platinum) 5) Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD (Platinum) I popped the last 7 trophies just off of finishing one mission, that was fun. I still like the gameplay and set-up of Peace Walker more than all the other MGS games I've played so far (I fucking LOVE base building and mini-missions), but the grindiness of the game was wearing me down towards the end. There's way too many vehicle combat Side Ops (just over 40ish, not counting the main story, AI battles or Monster Hunter missions). Also this probably ended up being easier than it should've because I found a dude who needed the online trophies too and he helped me S-Rank the Monster Hunter Missions, AI Boss missions, and helped me beat the Tank level to acquire the Fulton Launcher while we were grinding those out. Never thought I'd have the skill/patience to Platinum the MGS games (acks not true, MGS3's Platinum is easy, I just never looked at it before I started playing it), proud of having these. I'm going to play Revengeance and TPP but I'm not sure I'm gonna end up trying to Platinum those ones. Revengeance seems more like a twitch action game and I'm not as good at those, and TPP seems more like a Far Cry game than a "true" MGS game, so I won't hold myself to the same standards that I started to with these four... probably

>Only 18 of 160 mission left to S-Rank in Peace Walker >9 are vehicle battles FUCK >8 are Monster Hunter battles Somewhat FUCK but already S-Ranked them with a bro online so I thiiiiink I only have to beat them now >Date with Kaz Saving that one for last ??

Good a time as any to experiment with it

Promos were a lot better on SDL and then again on Raw. Making eye contact with the camera, not having to awkwardly pause for crowd reactions, not getting "What"ed or random chants. I'm not sure if they're less scripted than normal or it's just the good promo guys talking but it feels like they are less scripted. Mebs just keep doing this
