Guess that’s too much work for one of the biggest game journalist companies in existence.

Metal Gear's been a dead franchise for eight years now; and those journalists are likely, at beast, "gamers" who play shit like Fortnite and PUBG and know nothing about the franchise besides the MC is Snake. It's hilarious though some people might not haven't gotten it spoiled (Cause it was a huge twist when the game came out) yet who "Naked" Snake actually was 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they had enough sense to mention Hitman, which actually did bring some big innovations to the genre. But TLoU? It’s hilarious that they would even call it a stealth game. Guarantee they only included it because Naughty Dog is the darling of the game critic community. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Message from the devs; they are also working on HD releases for all the old games on next gen consoles and PC (Including the original MGS3!) which is a great way of handling this! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's even more hilarious they say that when the Metal Gear series is known for it's utterly INSANE attention to detail and having adaptative AI that dynamically reacts to the players actions.

The Good Doctor Posted May 25, 2023 Author Share Posted May 25, 2023 I still can’t get over TLoU being credited for changing the stealth genre. How? I have beaten it many times and seriously can’t think of a single example. What is one thing it did that hadn’t been done many times before, and better? And I don’t mean story or characters. They were good, but that has nothing to do with stealth or even gameplay at all. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Good Doctor Posted May 25, 2023 Author Share Posted May 25, 2023 @Centurion I’ve had the random Fallout talk itch lately and you seem happy to entertain it so here’s more. Top three faction soldier/unit types? Mine are: 1) Desert/Veteran Ranger 2) Legion Frumentarius 3) Unity Nightkin BoS Field Scribes and Circle of Steel assassins get honorable mentions. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While they’re kinda red shirt pushovers in Fallout 3, I use the Remnants in New Vegas as my gauge for how dangerous and terrifying any given squad of power armored Enclave are supposed to be in lore. Four or five old geezers, long past their primes, joined a battle consisting of thousands of troops, and they still distinguished themselves so much that the sight of them inspired awe and terror in both factions for years to come. So fucking cool. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Hellfire units are some or the most elite, best equipped killers in the entire franchise. If the Remnants at Hoover Dam were generations behind and relatively normal as far as soldiers go, imagine how terrifying a squad of these guys must be. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
