Can we tackle this elephant in the room?
Without triggering any alerts, there are a total of about 20 guards in the game.
That’s not enough is it?

The problem isn't the amount of guards. The camera and gameplay were not designed for a large amount of guards per room anyway.
The real problem with mgs is how little actual levels there are and the forced backtracking through them multiple times. The game would have benefitted from having its length cut by 1/3.

eh the video >>12023583 feels more like memorization of pathing to the point where it crosses into the "solved game" territory and isn't really funn to play anymore.
>>
>>12024051
I like backtracking to some extent because it makes the places make for real in the games and not just a tube you from one end to another, especially when there's usually a different perspective when you backtrack or something has changed. Obviously the key card backtracking is just silly where you climb the ladders 8 times or whatever, that's just padding when the game is about to end soon.

This is a shitty thread but I think the game starts to go to shit once you get to Nova Prospect and gets worse until the end. Episode 1 pretty much redoes the worst parts of the last half of the game but good and fun.
>>
>>12026852
cool tech demo, too many driving sections, no cool alien planet section and pretty boring otherwise. The beginning section of the game and Ravenholm are the best parts of the game, the rest is forgettable.
>>
>>12026852
IMO the filler in the middle (specially the steamboat parts).

That and the combination of Valve being really busy with Steam and Team Fortress 2, and that after a while Gaben probably became (understandably) scared of disappointing its fans with HL3 (which was one of the most hyped games ever after maybe Duke Nukem Forever) so he chose to can the franchise.

Just because you heard a buzzword and are repeating it like a child that just learned to swear doesn't make you intelligent, it's clearly mocking the game.

Modern zoomers have this strange, alien concept of being unable to comprehend "taking the piss" out of something. If something gets derided even lightly, it MUST be trash, it MUST suck, you MUST hate it, and it MUST be an endearing form of critique.

You are irony poisoned, there's no better way to put it, you no longer know good-natured mockery from legitimate criticism from a mean-spirited attack. Again, this isn't a generational thing, it's a "you specific kids I'm talking to" thing.

Yes, brother, that's called a compliment. Like, have you ever seen a roast?

Thoughts on Misadventures of Tron Bonne? I'm liking it so far, but it's a hell of a departure from Legends.

honestly he always struck me as being like three steps to the left of having a genuinely cool and appealing design, but as is he sort of just feels half-baked and a bit at odds with himself?
i feel like something like picrel at least strikes a decent-ish balance in terms of colour at least, though to be honest a jumpsuit is hardly an ideal costume anyway
admittedly i do say this as someone who wasn't too keen on the 2019 redesign though. or honestly not the all-stars racing one either. superstars tennis was an abomination

Yeah, there's absolutely nothing embarrassing about falling flat on your face the first attempt only to redeem yourself a little later. If this had happened today, the devs would've just released a long post about how players "just didn't get it", push it to market anyway, and then wonder why it sold ten copies. Being able to take criticism with humility and develop from it is key to any project.

It's key to being a fucking human and doing literally anything.

It's a great game, but irony-poisoned zoomers aren't mature enough to handle it.

Disregard its popularity or lack thereof, if for you it's great then that's all you should care about.
You don't need others' approval to enjoy a game.
>>
>>12026303
They went for the E10+ because it didn't exist until in middle of development, they were aiming a T rating like some games of the time (Jak and Ratchet), and the firsts showings displayed red blood for some enemies even, but then the E10+ rating came out and the game was altered to aim at that.

Didn't enjoy the sequel however (Its mid 00s tryhard edgy anime designs for tweens were a big turn off for me. Add to that its overall worse quality than the original and that was a wrap).

I don't hate Primal Rage, i just think that game is just way too overrated to be honest.
that game is basically Mortal Kombat in the prehistoric age essentially, is what it is.
it's a prehistoric Mortal Kombat but with dinosaurs and giant King Kong-like creatures
i would rather play the older Mortal Kombat games over Primal Rage anyday

They should have done the humans as a spinoff, OR, instead of a transformation, the screen zooms out when you activate one of the gods who are there waiting, looming in the background.

what are some standout /vr/ songs you like a lot? post anything. hell i will even settle for sound effects if it gets you fuckers participating. I will post like 10 or 20 things later in one post.

back around 2010-2014 i seem to recall /v/ still had music threads up but that place is a shithole now and music threads get bumped off to quickly by coom posts.

As far as PC games go, Icewind Dale has an extraordinarily good OST and sound effects. And out of all the tracks on the OST, the very best one is Dragon's Eye
