#4341 Re: The Sunset Strip » The Video Game Console Thread » 924 weeks ago
I got Metal Gear Solid 4 the other day and it's absolutley awesome. It's the best next gen game so far imo, it looks sensational, it plays brilliantly the story so far is great and not ridiculously complicated which MGS2 was guilty of. If anything I can imagine hardcore MGS fans might not like it as much simply because it relies less on stealth than the other games, it's a lot easier to fight 4 or 5 enemy soldiers and win the battle than it was in MGS or MGS2, therefore sneaking around doesn't feel quite as essential. Not sure how far in I am, it feels like I've been playing for hours and I've only just defeated the first proper boss.
Anybody else got this game? If not I recommend you buy it.
I'd never played the series until this one. The gameplay is great and it's very entertaining to actually play the game. When you're allowed to do that, that is. I mean, how many hours of cut scenes are there? You play for 15 minutes then it's 25 minutes of watching 'the story'? And that shit only gets worse the longer you play. About halfway through I ended up just skipping all the videos, and that sucks since you're then playing a game without knowing what's really happening.
I can understand why people think it's a good story compared to games in general, but common. If they were screenwriters they'd be over in Hollywood. A video game should have a supporting story, not a supporting gameplay.
I don't even know if I've finished this game. That's how bad it got at the end. It says "story mode normal complete" on my save, but I seriously don't know when that happened. Sure didn't feel like I completed anything. Guess I should have watched the cut scene...

Well played sir. I just started over with collecting Blu-Ray but I believe I'm going to get more serious about collecting movies in the future.
I'm going to have to do that too...the picture is simply too good.
Check out Troy if you haven't. Best transfer I've seen yet.

Funny you should say that. I played it for my little brother the other night and the first thing he said was "I think they're trying too hard". After a day or so of being in love with the track, I'm starting to back off it a bit and I think that's why, it's not as genuine as I'd like. Does that make sense?
I'm with you on that.
I feel it kinda reeks of desperation. On the last one they tried something different, didn't work. Now they're attempting to 'go back'. That doesn't work either since it's not really them anymore. There are some cool riffs, ideas. But it doesn't go past that.
Contrived is perhaps the most fitting description for this song.

You don't need money in the bank when you're a senator.
He also got investments in trusts. Dozens upon dozens of them in fact. None of which show accurate value. With an income of at least 180k and low expenses because of his position, I'd say his funds could be considerable. Either way, as a Senator he's hardly eating cheerios and saving coupons. Fancy business dinners, trips, parties...it hasn't changed much since Rome, has it?

Buckethead - From the Coop
Features: Buckethead
# Original Release Date: 2008
# Label: Avabella Productions
It's all music recorded in 1988. Basically, Buckethead made me three demo tapes that year, and when I was searching for the tapes of what became Acoustic Shards I rediscovered these three demo cassettes in a box of interview tapes. They are his earliest recordings, aside from a rehearsal or two, but it's all there -- the astounding technique, the lyrical beauty, the incredible shredding and popping. He was working with one of those small portable multi-track recorders, like a Tascam Portastudio, and a drum machine, but his playing is so clearly head-and-shoulders above what others were doing in 1988.
