Architecture Posted March 25, 2015 Ground Zeroes is currently half off on Steam, should I buy it? I watched my last roommate play about half an hour of it on PS3 (he rented it via Redbox). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reyturner Posted March 25, 2015 $10 is a good amount for GZ. It genuinely plays great, even with mouse and keyboard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melmer Posted March 28, 2015 GZ's is absolutely fantastic, well worth that price point too. Also, you really should be playing it now before MGSV comes out. What if it's harolded as some kind of must play masterpiece, you need to get the first part of the story under your belt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Architecture Posted March 28, 2015 Uh, Mington? I don't know if anyone's told you this, but... The story makes no fucking sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thrik Posted March 29, 2015 Is that Kojima in Ground Zeroes? Man, I love that he exists as a 'character' in the Big Boss games. I'm hoping that he becomes more than my chef in Peace Walker though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Architecture Posted March 29, 2015 One of the side missions tasks you with rescuing an unnamed operative. After you get him back on the chopper, Snake unmasks him, the camera zooms in and he looks right at you and says, "kept you waiting, huh?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
syntheticgerbil Posted March 30, 2015 He's already recruitable in Peacewalker. SAME JOKE TWICE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thrik Posted March 30, 2015 I would enjoy the revelation that somehow things got mixed up and actually Liquid Snake was comprised of partial Kojima genes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
syntheticgerbil Posted March 31, 2015 I wish Liquid Snake would come back. Every other shitty character comes back from the dead, but not the most flamboyant and hilarious of them all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thrik Posted March 31, 2015 MGS4 pretty much went there but stopped short of the all-important return of the voice actor, instead giving us Tired Ocelot to complement Tired Snake. Incidentally, I'm actually more annoyed we're not getting the classic Ocelot voice in MGS5 than any of this Kiefer business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Architecture Posted March 31, 2015 What, you don't like Troy Baker? But seriously, he's 20 years younger in MGS5 so it kind of makes sense. And he was voiced by someone else in Snake Eater. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thrik Posted March 31, 2015 It doesn't really make sense... I mean, he's getting on a bit age-wise in both MGS5 (60s) and MGS1 (40s) so I wouldn't expect there to be so much difference; it was just about excusable with MGS3 because he was practically a teenager. Also just everything about Ocelot was absolutely spot on in MGS1 and MGS2 — an iconic character. I know that the same thing has happened with Snake, but that may still play out well if Hayter voices a Solid Snake appearance in MGS5. And regardless, while it happening with one iconic character is bad enough, two losing their original voice actors is just shit. I'm sure opinions vary, but I remain of the feeling that changing the voices of beloved MGS characters is quite sad. I'll be able to live with it, but I'd really rather it didn't happen if it's avoidable. I don't doubt any of the new actors' abilities to do a great job, but it's like switching out the actor for Saul in Homeland, or perhaps more pertinently swapping out the actor for Jack Bauer in 24.

syntheticgerbil Posted March 31, 2015 MGS4 ruined Ocelot for me with his nonsense. I much prefer the wacky young one in 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

syntheticgerbil Posted April 2, 2015 They screwed him all up by making him some kind of mediocre incarnation of Liquid. The voice actor just can't capture that awesome flamboyancy. It just came off as awkward and forced, then you lost pretty much all good things about Ocelot's character by doing that anyway. Also, god damn that explanation for Ocelot becoming Liquid at the end of MGS4 was so fucking stupid. He mimicked him for some obscure and pointless reason and somehow became Liquid by force of habit, but then really knew he wasn't Liquid the whole time?

Thrik Posted April 4, 2015 Ground Zeroes is on PSN PS4 for less than £6 for Easter. Seems like now is the time to grab it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thrik Posted April 4, 2015 I really hope that in MGS5 we finally find out where Liquid Snake's personality came from, during a mid-game musical number where Big Boss shows that he's as fine at dance as he is at CQC, with his singing voice provided by Cam Clarke.

Architecture Posted April 6, 2015 MGS5: Ground Zeroes plays so well, I'm actually excited for an MGS game for the first time in a decade. Watching Metal Gear Scanlon is bringing back some memories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thrik Posted April 11, 2015 Bloody hell fire. PS: This game is wonderful. The game world feels so organic and more unpredictable than before. The gameplay, audio design, and world come together incredibly well — and there's so much to do. If they successfully scale this up to a much bigger game then holy shit. Also it's like £6 on PSN for a few days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
