Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (PS2) - No Commentary [05]

[reneestation2]

I notice a lot of people don't like the CV show, especially because Konami is not doing anything in terms of CV games, even though it's been 6 years, and the show's content is vastly overshadowing the game series' content on every online medium, but also because the writing sucks a little bit.

I mostly enjoyed the show, and so I was thinking about it, and there's a good amount of some substantial reasons on why people enjoy the show, there's SO MANY substantial reasons to either dislike or not want to watch the show entirely. Like I thought about it from my most 'average person' perspective, there's so much dumbass writing in the show. The amount of pointless characters or really stupid incentive or motive is actually mind-boggling.

I'm not gonna say I dislike it because the show is definitely a lot more than its spotty writing. I personally love the art style and not only the animation, but the choreography of action scenes is the pinnacle of the show tbh. And even then, some characters are fantastic to watch. Especially Sypha, Isaac, and Dracula. Even Varney was kinda perfect, in my opinion.

But the negativity is ramping up, because we're getting a second entirely new animated series, that didn't really need to happen, but honestly I'm for it, just because I really like Powerhouse animation, and YET, the ONLY Castlevania things happening are stuff Konami can't even bother to advertise, which are just ports to modern consoles, or a selection of niche merchandise.

If they announce a new game during gamescon or Tokyo game show, then great!! There's nothing to worry about there. But it feels like Konami is just handing Castlevania from one foster parent to another, instead of actually caring about it or working on it. Especially with all of the negative gaming press around Konami for the shitty MGS switch ports, the fact that Bloober is working on the SH2 remake, the fact we've heard nothing about the other SH games they announced for almost an entire year. People do kind of have a right to be mad. This shit is really getting out of hand.

no but like seriously lol

im glad to be in an era where i can have some of the features of the these remasters (achievements, widescreen) and play them in a version that doesnt suck on an emulator with more shit like 4k

[luminant-lepidoptera]

The only thing keeping me from breaking down and buying KH on PC is the absurd price point on the EGS

Especially since you can get all of these games (minus MelMem) on PS4 for just over $30 on Amazon.

(Btw, can someone tell me why I.5+II.5 which contains 4 playable games is $50, but II.8 which contains, generously speaking, 2 playable games is $60?)

[poorlittlevampire]

okay goodnight perhaps i will try and install that stuff again tomorrow

Red Faction in 4k on the PS5

u know when i started getting into metal gear and i finished mgs1 when i started mgs2 i was like "wtf they got better graphics they didnt need this 'realistic' shit. They shouldve kept the psx graphics." and tbh i was right! that was the most polygons they needed to have

[negaversebuffet]

Awhile ago, because Im mentally ill, I decided to pull all the video files out of Michigan: Report From Hell and uprez them to 4k to learn FFmpeg. Turned out to be harder than I thought it'd be! They're completely insane and I love this game for existing, it's pure trash.

back in the day people would seek out fan artists willing to use their rune magic to translate the stiff, polygonal figure of leon s kennedy's re4 ps2 model into a sumptuous .psd file display of hand painted 27 year old oiled up emo cat boy cock balls and hole....and now that we have the technology to articulate that fan art in 3dspace with updated character models that glisten in 4k resolution, what does the public say? "get that catboy shaft off my dashboard.". disgraceful.

I have been in full-on Recluse Mode lately. in the interest of communicating a little more, let me share with you what games I have been playing lately:

MyHouse.wad (finally! had been meaning to play this for years. I have gotten the default ending and might maybe try to look for more branches of the maze when I feel up to facing all those monsters again.)

FAITH: The Unholy Trinity (fuck, finally, someone made a good horror game. I have gotten the best ending in chapters 1 and 2 and have made it to the final boss of 3.)

I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream (ah! wow! this is not my kind of horror game. it's honestly a kinda average adventure game but one that has subject matter that makes me feel gross and depressed and not want to play it. which probably means other people will like it a lot more than me, as I am coming to terms with the fact my tastes *are* weird.)

Who's Lila? (oh wow... I was so curious about this one but it's *also* a kinda average adventure game? albeit with a Mario Party minigame permanently attached to the screen that you have to keep playing. the Easy Mode just gives you a lot more time to do that, which is a sign that the developers were simply unable to balance it properly and had to give you a bandaid solution. I may have to just watch some YouTuber play this one, as the story *probably* gets good!)

Cyberpunk 2077 (I found a surprisingly cheap PS4 at a local pawn shop and picked this game up with it. the PS4 is good for watching blu-rays, even more convenient than a dedicated player. for gaming it is *comically* bad. I may have a bias against PlayStation, the fucking failure of a brand whose first-party properties have serious "AI-generated corporate brand" vibes.... but I thought I was just being stupid! but no! the PS4 cannot game. the controller feels like cheap plastic, and the console itself has a cooling fan with the volume of a jet engine and it will *shake my entire bedroom* if I want to play any game, any game at all. even doom 2016, which it should be more than capable of running. the *menus* on doom 2016 push the PS4's fans into overdrive, there is no refuge. in cyberpunk I can at least pause the game every 30 seconds and wait 20 seconds for the fans to go silent, before unpausing and playing for another 30 seconds. ....it's fucking awful. gaming with a permanent headache, my whole body assaulted with noise and vibrations. .......but uh, Cyberpunk itself honestly seems like fun. I don't really give the slightest shit about the aesthetic, but to my surprise they buried a perfectly good game under there. can't say the same about Sony and any perfectly good gaming consoles, though. the PS2 was the last competent console they released, and that's the one I have a *grudge* against, because It killed the Dreamcast. for what!! for decades of garbage consoles afterwards?? get a damn Xbox. or, when you want to actually play games for real and stop fucking around with these childish insecure "GAMING FOR ADULTS" aesthetics, just get a fucking Nintendo, like god intended. mic dropped.)

Doom 2, in QuestZDoom. (in VR. I have the first three Dooms just.. permanently installed on my quest 2, along with Half-Life. this is admittedly still one of the coolest things ever, that I can just play these games in VR whenever I want. anyway, I have never actually played through Doom 2. never done it. never even tried to. so my first playthrough is in VR. I average about 10 maps a day, on the easiest difficulty because I have no shame. I did not know just how troll-y Doom 2 was. I also did not know everyone was just *wrong* about the city levels, I'd always heard the city levels sucked! but no! they're the best part!! I had a blast with the city levels!! god I LOVE mazes!!!)

oh yeah, also, Starfield. (I managed to find a mod that forces the game to not use 4k textures, and that actually solved most of my performance issues. it still stops to load every now and then, but it hasn't crashed to desktop in a long time now. so I went and finished a quest. I do *kinda like* Starfield, I like the promise of freedom, and I automatically love anything that's first-person. I wouldn't mind actually *playing through* Starfield. I already like it more than any Fallout game-- that's just a bias, I find mass media's fixation on Wasteland Post-Apocalyptica to be boring as hell, to the point of ruining whatever good there is to find in the media itself. but it is not as good as Skyrim. maybe it could *compete* with other Bethesda games if it.. was actually optimized properly? but then it wouldn't be a Bethesda game.)

and yeah, I think that's it.

will get back to you when I play more video games.

Ghosthunter PlayStation Plus Classic PS5 gameplay 4K - prime impressioni

Riscopriamo un classico PS2

[marioclash]

i genuinely feel that with how far something like ps3 emulation has come, you could reasonably write a ps3 emulator for series x

it would probably run like complete dogshit but yeah

[mlembug]

my dream: my brain: get yourself a PS3 dream me: why my brain: so you can play those Bluray movies dream me: searches for second-hand PS3, finds one my brain: also one of those versions which has PS2 compatibility dream me: searches harder, can't find any dream me: searches even harder my brain: fine, how about the latest gen PS5, you know, the ones which also play 4K bluray, you don't want to be left in the dust dream me: plans an elaborate budget to get one

I wake up from a dream: me: YOU DON'T HAVE ANY BLURAY DISKS DUMBASS

[paladincecil]

I felt like playing some ratchet and clank 3 after having a bad time with rebirth all day but couldn't be bothered get my ps3 out so I turned to good old emulation :D

I always forget just how crunchy ps2 games were until I turned off the 4k upscaling xD
