This is one of the most intelligent pieces of writing I've seen about this issue, and this kinda makes me sad. The lack of civilized discussion and surplus of hatred does a disservice to everyone.
I have my MGS HD collection sitting in my shelf, just waiting for me to get some sense in my head and play it. I did check the first minutes of Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake and it does seem awesome. It looks sharper than the original.
Those are some cool mountains. I was going to try and suggest something, but Joe got it already: A koala and eagle battle!
This one is looking sharp. Machine Games seems to be putting a lot of dedication to this game. FPS get a bad rap for being repetitive and boring, but hopefully The New Order will shake things u :)
If memory serves me right, Quackshot is great plataformer. With the extra feature of starring Donald Duck, it is easy to say it's a great purchase :)
Tricky question. If we are considering more realistic weapons, for close quarters I would go with blades - especially Katanas, Rapiers and Daggers (Stealth Kill!).
Pistols and sniper rifles would be my picks for guns. Pistols are easy to carry and conceal, and depending on the model, a sizable ammo clip. A sniper rifle is useful to position yourself in the best spot of a shootout - far enough to be safe while eliminating targets.
For ultimate badassery though, nothing beats a Chainsaw Staff, or Paddlesaw if you will :)
An excellent review, unfortunately wasted on this atrocity.
I played the demo and wondered how anyone could actually green light it. It lacks plot and visuals, which it is bad already, but it is an awful bore to play, rendering it as a waste of time and money..
It does seem tricky GH. There seems to be no room for mistakes there, and awkward controls kinda don't help with precision.
Keep at it though. Maybe you just need to get the rhythm right.
Since Hideo kojima is a crazy game developer, I had to read through all your post just to make sure you were making that up Cary :p
I still havent played the originals MGS, but I was always fascinated by how much they are referenced throughout the series - 8 bit flashbacks :)
