I'll prolly give my thoughts on the first day of runs later, or tomorrow. But yeag, is starting if any of you want to catch it.

People bringing up asmongold saying "I hope they don't make it political" about MGS3 remake as though that's an inherently ignorant thing to say. I've played MGS3. It is an incredibly cheesy game targeted at teenagers with incoherent politics on the level of a james bond film. You have people running around saying the series is anti-war or whatever the fuck. Maybe you can find some buried recordings with the characters talking about some CIA op to topple governments or something. It is not front-and-center. All I can really think of is Ground Zeroes that has you infiltrating Guantanamo Bay. Peace Walker also has you fighting alongside some group who were socialist IRL.

Anyway I just say all this so you aren't as let down as I was when you play the MGS3 remake expecting some sort of full-throated communist propaganda.

this is the mod

it allows you to set whatever tax rates on specific things (dividends, land etc).

They're not called Palicos, they're called FELYNE COMRADES 😤

My drive to finish all the persona games has waned somewhat after finishing persona 1 and its manga.

Persona 2 IS i managed to finish as its my commute game and Persona 3 and 5 i haven't touched for a few months.

Overall the story is definitely one of the more wacky ones in the series but easy to enjoy. Gameplay is the PSP version of the game is so easy it practically plays itself, didnt have to make a new persona once just relied on story given personas and made it through. There's a lot of side content i missed but it didnt really seem that worth doing other than for completions sake the game does drag on a bit after a while. Also that side content is so hidden away discovering it organically would require talking to basically everyone after each story dungeon which is incredibly boring.

Still so far Persona 1 is my favourite out of all of the games along with its manga

My only exposure to The Witcher is from the ~~advertisement~~ crossover quest in Monster Hunter World. The quest was cracking me up the whole time because Geralt was so stereotypical "cool grizzled guy" in his dialogue and voice acting that I half expected him to say "Psssh… Nothin Personnel… Kid…"

Is he this much of a weenie in The Witcher 3 or did Monster Hunter do him dirty?

It's fucking pretty good.

I will never stop posting Monster Hunter

Games that I put in this category: The first spyro game (not sure about the later ones, havent played) and A Link Between Worlds are both very fun and rewarding to complete and never feel like a chore to do so.

One game that is very much NOT in this category, as is often said, is DK64 lol. But everyone says that. I've also heard people say Super Mario Oddessy is fun to beat but not fun to complete, same with BOTW because of the Koroks. People usually say this about SM Sunshine as well but I dont really mind it in this game.

Sidenote complain about the world: Sandbox games combined with my autistic obsessive compulsive need for completionism lead to me playing them with very frusterating habits lmao. No Man's Sky is the worst for me. I LOVE that game but god the respawning ROCKS ruin the experiance kind of. If the rocks stayed gone, I could use them to gradually explore the worlds I'm on in a completiony way. (Even knowing that like even a single planet is kind of impossible to fully explore let alone the entire fucking universe lol). But I cant!!!!!!

Sorry I need to shove that rant into everything. Completionist mindset also limits me with games like Terraria, Minecraft, and Starbound as well but not as badly because I at least can keep track of exploration in those (Or just dig deep pits in minecraft as I enjoy doing to waste time while I watch streams lol).

I also get myself caught in absurd goals that NOONE expects you to do and the game doesnt keep track of (no achievemnt for it or anything) sometimes like doing all coin runs in Mario 64 or marrying, seeing the 14 star event, and then divorcing every spouse in Stardew Valley lol. (I acutally havent started the second thing but it is sort of in my head as a goal).

This turned into a general rant about how my completionism effects me lmao but anyway thoughts.

It's so weird seeing Konami being this public-facing after all the stuff that went down with Kojima and them pulling out of the console game business. They go out of their way to mention that Kojima and the other original devs will still be credited- the fact that this needs to be clarified says a lot about how bad the situation was

I know it's just a cultural thing but there's something kind of funny to me about how rigidly formal all these Konami events are, though I guess do prefer it to the corporate vibe you get from a lot of American game marketing

They even show and read some pretty negative comments at one point

Can you make it through the dlc with this?

Working on making my way up to Mohg right now with this type of build

Reference to my previous post wondering what the default intended method of play is.
