What happened? I don't find them interesting without Vinny so I have skipped the latest ones.

some would argue that nothing happened. I'd argue that it's just becoming the modern day Farmville series, where it was kinda of a good idea for a minute there but it doesn't work anywhere.

I don't know if it's because Vinny isn't there or not or if it's because Ian isn't around to challenge Rorie's authority every other roll but i'd say that the series needs to gently be laid to rest. Or at least any future D&D unpluggeds should be.

Dat MGS3.

Much like Drew, this will be my first time seeing this game. I've never really been one for the Metal Gear series except for Rising. What a start, though.

Me too. I only played half of MGS1 and a bit of MGS2.

I'm not a huge fan of the MGS games, to be honest, so this series isn't a whole lot of interest to me - but, like Drew, it's a bit of a blindspot in that I have nfi what people are talking about when they talk MGS.

Same here. I've only played up to the end of Virtuous Mission. I wonder if I should play through Snake Eater first before watching Drew play through the rest of the game.

The problem is that everyone is basically boring, and if at least it was a competitive game, then Dan would turn heel and start screwing people over or something.

But even then, I think it's a push on whether or not it's better or worse than Mario Party at this point. I guess with D&D, no one outright doesn't give a shit anymore.

I think it's more or less a atmosphere issue on account it's only the four of them, they really could use a extroverted 5th party member.

When is that Zelda II Breaking Brad series? If I say it enough times, can I will it into existence? It's going on my vision board.

God damn the writing in the metal gear games is awful
Click to expand...

My impression of it from watching Metal Gear Scanlon is that the moment-to-moment writing is kind of hammy and terrible but some of the higher-level structure and ideas are actually pretty good, as long as you can put up with anime melodrama and Kojima's high school journal entries.

That game really isn't that hard at all, at least if you have maps. I'm sure without maps, it would take longer, especially the last dungeon. Really, maps are probably the thing that were most sorely missed in that game.

Sure, it's sorely missing Vinny. They need someone who is interested enough to not seem completely disingenuous, but is also just going to fool around.

I think it could still work. Rorie just has to actually learn the rules and maybe be a bit looser with them so that the game moves at a faster pace. Last ep it felt like half the time was spent with Rorie looking up rules while everyone sat there bored.

Also I think someone has to explain to Dan that he's roleplaying a character and to not metagame so much. Which is fine, he's new and I don't think he fully understands the game yet, so it should be someone more experienced to tell him not to break kafabe.

To experience the Metal Gear series from scratch and in such rapid pace like Drew is, must be like experiencing a new dimension of gaming.

Is it wrong if I say I never cared for codecs and in all my 5 or so playthroughs of all the games I never bothered with them and the one time I did Zero just blatantly told me about how to deal with The Sorrow?

I felt the unplugged was too boring for most part and you can see it on the crew as well. They should play board games more often but make it simpler games like Avalon.

It was certainly a slow ramp-up, but I found it fascinating once they were actually playing the game. They just can't get bogged down with infighting.

Real talk.

I never got why people loved The Boss so much. Her dialogue and overly philosophical ramblings are Kojima being his most Anime Bullshit-y.

I like the greater story about her though but almost every time she talks its the worst.

Yeah, I haven't played MGS3 since it was released and this series is ruining my boyhood memories. That bridge showdown was fucking amazing in my head.

I do enjoy how Brad HAS to say "Barry! Where's Barry!" everytime somebody mentions Barry Burton. It's the same with "Modus Operandi" for Jeff.

I think its held up ok, I cant think of any really cringe worthy performances. MGS2 and 3 seem to be full of them.

I remember when MGS1 first came out and thinking that Solid Snake had TERRIBLE voice acting. It's grown on me since then, but I still wouldn't consider it all that great.
