Yeah he can go firetruck himself for even trying to talk bad about this

[hawk222_1550644792 19]

oh, we were talking about system differences?

can i get some context for what's even happening here?

[raiden94 17]

I'll just copy paste the first paragraph from SKG's website

""Stop Killing Games" is a consumer movement started to challenge the legality of publishers destroying video games they have sold to customers. An increasing number of video games are sold effectively as goods - with no stated expiration date - but designed to be completely unplayable as soon as support from the publisher ends. This practice is a form of planned obsolescence and is not only detrimental to customers, but makes preservation effectively impossible. Furthermore, the legality of this practice is largely untested in many countries."

This Josh dude seems to not support them I think?

[hawk222_1550644792 19]

i knew a little about the movement, but i'm also confused about this josh guy and why 1 million is something he's proud of

now this is what journalism is meant for!

[Otti#8624 26]

Man, Death Stranding 1 and 2 are way closer than I thought

I really thought DS1 was gonna be ahead by a wide margin but its just 40 minutes ahead

Then again, DS2 has less runtime on cutscenes and just more of them in general

MGS4 is insane though

[hawk222_1550644792 19]

you think the ladder scene contributed to mgs3 at all, or does that technically count as gameplay?

[Otti#8624 26]

In the article it says they only count the cinematics ones and not the ones with gameplay in it

That one counts as gameplay

[hawk222_1550644792 19]

"gameplay"

[Daz_4th 9]

hey!!!!

hoIding one direction is crazy gamepIay young fowI

[Liftea 17]

idk if you have played metal gear but if mgs4 is like 1 then it makes a lot of sense. metal gear utilizes this style of storytelling very well for what the game is. When I played together with Snake through it I was honestly mindblown how well they utilized it

[Otti#8624 26]

I have played 3 and 5

I did see some stuff of the other games though, and MGS4 is just insanely long cutscenes everywhere

[Liftea 17]

MGS1 has some insane foreshadowing in its cutscenes that insanely reward you if you pay attention to it. They are pancaking you 5-7 times

[Otti#8624 26]

I think the last one is like over an hour long with no gameplay in it

[Liftea 17]

I would even say metal gear solid 1 from 1998 does in a lot of ways a better job regarding its storytelling than games like The Last of Us, Metaphor ReFantazio or God of War

I was genuinely shocked that I missed this game

I even told snake and daz multiple times in call

I had 90 deaths in mgs 1 btw

I died more in mgs1 than in elden ring

I am so looking forward to playing mgs 2 this weekend

[raiden94 17]

.....

you throw all that shade at Kojima when you've only played his most normie-appealing games.

And here I trusted ur opinion.

[Otti#8624 26]

No, I throw shade at DS1

DS2 is fun though

[raiden94 17]

undeserved, as you've now proven...

[Otti#8624 26]

And I find these comparison to not work as well. Granted I am mostly coming from MGS3 and not counting 5 because that one is a bit of a mess (for good reason)

They tell their stories in different ways and it does work well for what they do

[hawk222_1550644792 19]

the only metal gear games i've played are the demo for revengeance and the ape escape 3 parody minigame

[raiden94 17]

I cant trust a goddamn one of you 😭

Except for DaZ and Tea 😔

and even they can e a little shaky...

[Daz_4th 9]

why is metaphor even here

untrue! I'II have you know I started with MGS2
Iike a reaI 2000s PS2 gamer 😤

[raiden94 17]

so desu ne...

[Limen 13]

I've only played 1

[Liftea 17]
