Anyone else played Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons? Played over the last couple of nights and it was quite surprising and rather emotional!

I have it on Steam, but haven't played it yet - seems quite interesting now you say so

.

Last night I played The Stanley Parable. Oh boy, it was hilarious

i played it a while back, all in one sitting 'cause it's short enough too

it's an alright experience but nothing to write home about, really awkward on keyboard too

Oh yeah you definitely want to play it on an Xbox gamepad.

If you are 4 friends and want some epic teamplay together I highly recommend Guns Of Icarus Online, really fun and addictive coop game. You command a steampunk ship in combat and everyone has diffrent roles and have to work together in order to survive. It's freaking intense man!

What does everything think of Metal Gear Solid 4 and MG: Ground Zeroes? I did not play either, and did not want to play them (still

about MGS2). With the unfortunate drama around Kojima + Konami, I'm thinking I may need to look into trying MGS5:PP at some point. It seems, after reading a Kojima interview, that this will mostly tie things up. https://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2015/07/09/hideo-kojima-the-full-interview.aspx?PostPageIndex=2

But I don't really see talk of the franchise here, nor MG games placing high on people's lists.

I don`t have much experience with MSG, I only have 2, but honestly, I can`t play this, I freakin` hate this camera!

I loved the series up to MGS3. That game came out in grad school and I never got any traction on it. Having it take place before the other games contributed to me not getting into the story.

Cable · « **Reply #1340 on:** July 12, 2015, 08:25:19 PM »

Me more so up to 2, but I enjoyed 3's expanded edition with the camera control, and replaying the Kojima directed MG1&2. 3 turned me away from series ultimately due to the main villain being Emperor Palpatine during the cold war, and a general weird taste after MGS2. I appreciate what Kojima is going for via the so called post-modern stuff in MGS2, but I just cannot get into fiction during non-fictional events. Or things that are not probable of happening in the future. MGS1 started to really go towards this, although it kind of started in MG2:SS. But it wasn't over the top IMO like Vamp, Fortune, Revolver, the MG Ray battle and so on in MGS2.

MGS5 will be more of the same Dr. with it being a prequel, so nothing new for you.

Satoru Iwata has passed away

- may he Rest In Peace.

WHAT?!?!?! Wow, thanks for the info Sacul. After you posted I looked;

https://kotaku.com/nintendos-president-has-passed-away-1717386412

Bile duct, which is unexpected from my limited physical health knowledge. One of many who was responsible for the vocal minority favourite Earthbound/Mother2. While I cannot fully agree with Nintendo not going for the arms war part of the console wars, I appreciate the decisions he made for Nintendo under his watch. And the ultimate direction, focus, innovations and fiscal health of the company in a transitionary video game era.

Thank you Mr Iwata.

A great man in videogame history has died. Thank you Mr.Iwata

As I read, Takeba and Miyamoto are now going to lead Nintendo short-term which I think is a quite good decision at the moment.

Chino · « **Reply #1344 on:** July 13, 2015, 06:26:31 AM »

Very sad day. I've been really hard on Nintendo for some of the decisions the company has made in recent years, but I admire this man. It's great when you have a CEO who leads a company that he/she genuinely loves and isn't just doing it as a job.

Does it have Zilla so you can kick its ass with the real Godzilla?

You know when you have a save file with 35-40 hours of game play and then you start a new game and thoughtlessly save over your old file. Then comes the moment of realization. And all you can do is just sort of half-laugh half-groan to yourself about how stupid you are.

I had 250 hours of Skyrim on my launch (fat) PS3. One day I got the yellow light of death. I attempted to start a new game once I got my new PS3 slim. I didn't make it to the first checkpoint before I put my head down and sighed. I couldn't bring myself to do all of that again from the beginning.

I do know that feeling. It's even worse when the game itself autosaves over the old file. I almost had to restart Skyrim when a friend wanted to try out the game.

I remember the days when I only had one memory card and had to sacrifice an older game's save whenever I got new game.

There is the orginal Zilla and the 2014 one. Gameplay is a bit shaky. But its fun being Zilla kicking Mothra and Ghidorahs ass.

I play GTA Online as a female character (Velicity is her name). I find it helps me. Instead of getting blown away, guys walk right up to me thinking that they are some how going to get magically laid in real life. Then I set them on fire.

haha but those guys are dumb then, they should know all the female characters in GTA online are played by men. I have yet to interact with a woman playing online... speaking of which, now that they've been doing the double XP heists, it seems everyone learned how to play and I've been consistently getting into groups of strangers who can actually complete missions

You'd think she'd have put out at least once by now out of pure pity or something. I guess the class barrier between a princess and a plumber is just too great.
But I wonder how many times Bowser has had his way with her? Is he into the inter-species thing? Why does he even kidnap the princess in the first place? She must have a wicked case of Stockholm syndrome at this point.

Happy Birthday to Mario! He's only a week older than me. I wonder who's held up better? His diet consists almost entirely of mushrooms and tomatoes, and he's had too many concussions to count, but he gets plenty of exercise. Tough call.

Happy birthday Mario! Luigi must be getting with the princess

Randaran · « **Reply #1362 on:** July 24, 2015, 05:34:03 AM »

I prefer the fan theory that Mario is the bad guy. The princess actually loves Bowser, and she goes along with the kidnappings in order to be with him. In Super Mario Sunshine, when it is revealed that Peach is NOT Bowser Jr.'s mother, everyone, including Peach, is surprised. Why would Peach be surprised if she had not given birth to one (or all) of Bowser's previous children? Mario is the bad guy, as he continues to steal the princess from her true love.

Anyway, Happy Birthday, Mario!
