It’s super effective!

That’s true, but there was also a lot of backtracking in MGS1.

I did like the cold, metallic atmosphere of MGS1 with beautiful dithered textures. Likewise, the cell-shaded, organic design of the Big Shell is so nice. Each Metal Gear game seems to have such a unique style.

I think MGS1 is an excellent game, but in my opinion the subsequent games improved on the formula massively. MGS2 had a very similar vibe, and yes whilst I’d agree that some of the bosses can be frustrating, it felt like they were trying to do weird and interesting things (like defusing bombs whilst fighting fatman, and taking out a huge number of metal gears in a single fight). MGS3 just feels like the complete package to me: the best bosses in the series, an incredible soundtrack and a mostly standalone, well written story.

One thing I missed in MGS3 was sneaking around in tight interior spaces. The tanker sequence in MGS2 is a highlight of the series for me - going unnoticed in this heavily guarded ship with the rain streaming down the windows with that jazzy soundtrack playing.

I’m struggling to think of many games that capture the vibe of MGS1. The early Resident Evil games perhaps spring to mind - trying to survive alone with limited ammo and a conspiratorial backstory.

I have no idea… but it looks like our little diversion got their attention! Now’s your best chance to slip in unnoticed.

Careful, if you take ten weeds it’s equivalent to a whole marijuana

Fair enough, I’m sold

YES

Is that a good thing??

And Billie Lurk from the Dishonored DLC!

Oh that’s a really cool one! I’m kinda tempted by this. Wish the shipping wasn’t so expensive though :')

Damn, fair enough! Do you have a favourite design?

Dude how many shirts have you bought?!

Yeah my parents forced being British on me when I was growing up

Oh it’s great! The devs have added a few new things (slightly different boss battles, the addition of side missions) but all of this adds to the experience. I played through the original the other year and it holds up well, but the remake certainly felt like the definitive experience. So personally I’d go for that if you’re new to the series.

I also played DS2 a while back, and that felt much more polished/higher budget than the original. After you’ve played the remake of 1, definitely give the second one a go.

Man Uncharted 4 is such a pretty game. Great shots!

I’ve got nowhere else to post this, so here’s a random screenshot from the Dead Space remake which I’ve been playing recently. Love the detail on the suit

Wait, I could’ve been charging for that this whole time?

So Elon tells me… he tells me… please, please let me cum Mr Trump. Can you believe that? As you all know, I’m the greatest, the greatest at edging. I’m all for it but… these people… you can’t let 'em have it that easy… you really can’t

Stealing is a crime… So yes, do it!

Weird, it shows as a png for me 🤔

Me too! I’m glad the image is in a lossless format though
