What Are You Currently Playing? 6.65: Neighbor of the Beast

[Avaitor]

Nah, the only Playstation I ever had was the first. I have played a decent chunk of 3 ages ago, and it's a hell of an experience. I was just wondering if it was worth trying it out on the 3DS for when I finally get it.

In that case, the 3DS version is fine as long as you get the Circle Pad Pro. They aren't expensive at all, and without one, you can't really control the camera, which is the same problem that MGS Portable Ops apparently had and was criticized for. The Circle Pad Pro fixes the only big flaw in the 3DS port. But one way or another, MGS3 is a must-play. Especially because, if I remember correctly, you're a fan of MGS1. In terms of story it has a simplicity more akin to 1, avoiding the craziness of 2 and stupidity of 4. And gameplay-wise it has a lot to offer.

MGS3's story is pretty crazy, but in a good way.

Can't say I've heard much positive about the 3DS version, but if you don't plan on getting a PS2/3 or 360, it's probably alright. You won't get MG1 and 2 with it, though.

So for my Club Nintendo reward I picked Yoshi's New Island. I guess I'll see how well this stacks up to the original game soon enough.

I just can't believe they can't get a new sound guy. The music in the post YI games are so bad.

[Foggle]

I, uh, got Metroid Fusion. I guess Razor's Edge really wasn't worth buying, huh?

A free platformer is a free platformer.

If NG1 or 2 was there I would have jumped at it, but Razor's Edge? Maybe if they downloaded it directly to my Wii U for no cost to me.

[Foggle]

In the end I spent $11 for a reward worth $8. Not exactly a free platformer at that point.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Ouch.

*in Eddy's condescending voice* Economical!

I'd say the same for MGS2, at least to a certain extent.

I was just referring to the fact that some prefer the simplicity of MGS1's character-driven story, and 3 is more along the lines of that. I don't think it's that crazy.

I recorded some thrilling footage of an endgame Final Fantasy Type-0 boss fight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hU2ZPHcN9GQ
