By Xpike Go To Postthink because even now that we know its unfinished, most people will admit that the gameplay is one of, if not the best in the genre, period.I just don't think that's enough for an MGS game tbh
For me its basically a Vanquish, where they just drop the ball in so many areas, its not made up for in the gameplay stakes. despite it feeling great to play.
By Hitch Go To PostLooking at MGSV on metacritic
Its absolutely mental how few dissenting opinions there are considering how its been remembered. There is so, so much wrong with the game, especially when you compare it to the games that came before it. Only two reviewers saw fit to knock marks off for the story being both ludicrously sporadic, and a pile of shite? The repetetive structure? The lack of interesting characters?
What KoolAid were they drinking at the review event?
Reviewers don't play games that much to give an accurate review.
I found MGSV really unintuitive. You can tell by all of the items and structures and equipment that there's the potential for something really DEEP there, but I kept having a hard time figuring out how to go about accessing that depth. Like...I have some shit that can literally summon an attack helicopter for backup. Cool...except I never felt the sort of pressure where that would be necessary. There's all this stuff scattered around the map to make intricate sneaking plans...like taking out the power or comm systems, but every single map was me crawling on my butt, slapping my sonar fist into the ground and killing/putting people to sleep with silenced weapons before awkwardly sneaking through.
I don't DOUBT that if you want to play a really deep and interesting style of play that you can, but when that stuff doesn't evolve naturally or the game doesn't push you towards that, then it's a bit useless. I want to be FORCED through well designed encounters that encourage me to switch up my tactics. This is an issue that plagues so many stealth games and MGSV is included in that, except its made far more obvious due to the extent of items and the scale of the game.

By P.SY! Go To Postwtf that controller is hideous reiloWhy do looks matter when it comes to input devices?
e: fixed link because I failed at linking the correct post
By Kabro Go To Postyeah the map is uninteresting to say the least.
a good moment for me though was when i headshot a guy from C point while i was camping in a high area at F point.
feels good man.
how you gonna handle no spawn beacons
By Red Blaster Go To Posthow you gonna handle no spawn beaconswat, are you serious?
might be a deal breaker imo.
the first 20 hours of MGSV are pretty darn good. Gameplay is godlike. falls apart when you have to start redoing missions or side missions to progress but I got my 50 or so hours and it was worth it. Intro is awful though.
but seriously the controls, encounters and sanbox gameplay is really damn good. Worth the $60 for the gameplay alone.
That quarantine mission? whew, so good.

By Dark PhaZe Go To Postsnake eater was amazing
top 5 tbh
MGS V would be an interesting making of movie because the project clearly had issues for a long long time before we ever got our hands on it.
The nonsensical story even for a Metal Gear game was their biggest crime. Replaying missions and locations over and over again with different objectives was ridiculous, but the justification is what made it so bad.
And the online game is just baffling. If there were ever a bigger waste of resources in gaming I've yet to see it. I bet trying to cram in that single aspect of the game is what fucked their development. Still doesn't excuse their story or that cop-out true ending though.

By Xpike Go To Postso is that attack on titan game any goodI've been playing it off and on (been spending most of my time getting ready for Rise of Iron/Destiny)
its way better than it has any reason being. the movement is great. seriously. like.... i was expecting garbage, but its actually better than most spiderman games i've played.
its fun. don't think its quite 60 bucks full price fun, but im glad i picked it up nonetheless
By P.SY! Go To Postwtf that controller is hideous reiloWhy? I like the blue and the texture is there for functionality. If I'm staring at my controller while playing, I'll be doing it wrong.
aesthetically .... well, its a scuf
ff15 still day one as fuck though
kingsglaive was better than advent children and spirits within too. the side characters were meh as fuck but more than once i had to double take and remember that some shit was cgi. shit has came a long, long ways.
dope popcorn flick tbh - better than most of the turds i've sat through this year

so far WoW: Legion is great. First new zone i did was Azsuna and it is probably one of my favorites in the game.
Graphics on ultra are also very appealing now.

god eater has managed to piss me off. im in the late-late game and they decided that overpowered near instant aoe attacks weren't enough - they've made one of the most difficult bosses in the game twice as fast.
like... that's just not fucking fun
like... that's just not fucking fun
Yeah - this is bullshit. I'm fighting SNK bosses now... Think I'll call it quits for a while then pick up GE2 before Cold Steel 2 drops
Gaming impressions of the Scuf Controller after a few rounds of Destiny
In short? It's good! It definitely adds more usability to the controller allowing your thumbs to be primarily focused on the sticks than having to move off of them to say, jump or crouch. Speaking of the sticks: they are the real winner here. They just feel better, more precise, and smoother in operation. I feel like I am tracking my targets a whole lot easier than before, especially when I need to do some twitch-y minute movements to hone in on my target. I went with the taller concave sticks and they are a vast improvement over stock.
I also decided to switch up how I hold the controller to take advantage of the improved trigger and paddles (which I have mapped to X for jump and O for crouch) by having my middle fingers rest on the trigger exclusively and my index fingers on the bumpers. Before I'd just alternative my index fingers between both the trigger and bumper because it felt more comfortable. At first that approach felt pretty awkward and my first 3 or so round suffered but little by little I started getting used to it and finished my last two rounds well above a 1.0KD and top spot in both maps.
The textured back definitely helps with perspiration as well.
Short impression, but so far so good!

Now imagine if Sony made a proper Elite type controller on PS4. Literally leaving money at the door.
Are these available with 4 paddles?

By Dark PhaZe Go To PostBF1 feels Eh
BF4 launch eh or just all around eh.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostBF1 feels Eh
It's definitely a beta and the map combined with Conquest isn't the best combination.
But
The gunplay feels good to me. Guns have some punch to them. I think people are going to have to adjust for the time period. There are no ACOG 4x scopes and other hi tech accessories like BF4. Translates into aiming that is not as precise at first...
But it's BF.... The formula is what it's always been.
By diehard Go To Postso far WoW: Legion is great. First new zone i did was Azsuna and it is probably one of my favorites in the game.Artifact power is super addicting and the amount of foliage and view distance they upped their game on is kind of nuts.
Graphics on ultra are also very appealing now.
By Smokey Go To PostNow imagine if Sony made a proper Elite type controller on PS4. Literally leaving money at the door.Pretty sure it's only 2 which is why I've been hesitant to get one. There's still 2 face buttons not accounted for so it just seems to defeat the purpose.

reilo, are you able to change what the buttons set to paddles are yourself or does it have to be done through scuf?

Pump fake auto-fouls in the paint are gone. If you “do nothing” on the sticks as a defender, you won’t incur a shooting foul.
By reilo Go To PostIs CDKeys legit or one of those oddball Russian sites?SUPER LEGIT!!
I recently just discovered how legit it is...
By P.SY! Go To Post2K17 gameplay dev blogSo good!!!!!
By P.SY! Go To Post2K17 gameplay dev blogamazing that it took this long
o You can perform alley-oops to players who are much further away from the rim and they’ll catch it and put up a shot (great for sideline inbound buzzerbeaters.) Also, you can alley-oop pass out of jump shots, layups and even other alley-oops. I’m expecting to see some hot Plays of the Week from you Park guys this year.
o During a Give & Go, you can call for an alley-oop by pressing the Shot Button while holding the Pass Button
o New Overhead Skip Pass mechanic lets you quickly target farther away teammates when multiple are in a line
We want to make the game more accessible!
Adds a bunch of minute yet significant gameplay enhancements that use even more buttons
Hype increasing
In for Day -4
Psy they are having pro am tourney during all star weekend. 250k prize.
Imagine the type of food you could step up to. You in?

Just get the cronosmax and use the elite on the ps4. It works well.

conquest itself needs to be overhauled--there's little to no strategical value to these points and its just ring around the rosie fuckery. There needs to be strategical value and a logic system in place of sacrifice/gain in terms of what to fight for and there's not enough of that right now
By Smokey Go To PostJust get the cronosmax and use the elite on the ps4. It works well.heard the cronusmax sucks tho
It's not like I need a scuf/elite anyway. PS4 for me is gonna be single player games + 2K. anything that's a multiplayer shooter i'll be playing on PC , probably wouldn't see much benefit out of one
did anyone play Sleeping Dogs definitive edition? I think I remember people complaining about it when it came out or maybe I'm mixing it up with Saints Row remastered
the most important thing from Wangs blog post:
my god this was some shit in '16 and was often abused.

From who?
I have one. It works fine outside of intermittent one second pauses, but that was due to a tech reason I can't recall. It was bypassed by using a USB hub. I think Reilo said he saw where that issue was resolved.
bunch of people i used to play fighting games with. most of them all complained about input lag or something and everyone switched to brooks converters
By Rob Go To PostPretty sure it's only 2 which is why I've been hesitant to get one. There's still 2 face buttons not accounted for so it just seems to defeat the purpose.You can change it rather easily using the Scuf magnet. It's kinda weird how you do it but it works and it's easy.
reilo, are you able to change what the buttons set to paddles are yourself or does it have to be done through scuf?
I think the shape of the controller prevents 4 paddles, honestly.
By Kidjr Go To PostHave the house to myself tonight so wanna do some gaming, how do I get the battlefield 1 betaDownload directly from PSN/XBL/Origin. It's an open beta.
conquest needs to be dumped to be honest
shit is antiquated as fuck
rush is too linear. they need to find a way to combine both modes. and this shit sounds crazy but i'd love to grunts/bots on the field too. really really increase that feeling of all out war and presents something to both always be shooting at and use as a distraction to the hordes of fucking mountain snipers in every game of BF ever

If they don't announce one at either their Neo announcement or PSX in December, I'm going to be legit shocked. It's the most/only meaningful differentiator Xbox has managed to come up with to date. If Neo doesn't stand up to Scorpio, that + no elite is going to cost them some shooter people.

Is not taking your thumb off the stick while reloading really that major an issue to you?
On the topic of console FPSs...
I can't function with jump on a face button. I almost always assign the left bumper to jump these days.

Beauty of those paddles on the Elite. Can jump without ever taking your hands off the sticks. Very hard to go back once you get muscle memory to adjust.
I don't think I've cringed harder than at the DoA volleyball shit. It's one thing to be a softcore porn game, it's something else to spend your time animating girls not liking being groped.
