Probably won’t get anything for a good while until I find job. Been unemployed for 2 months with paid leave but now I’m nearing the end of that grace period and I still haven’t even gotten an interview let alone a job offer. I knew it was bad out there… but man is it way harder to get a job than I thought. I might have to bite the bullet get a crappy temp job through a temp agency to get some kind of income.

I was just gonna do the the DLC and thought I was done with photo mode but it kept pulling me back in

Spent less time in photo mode for the second half the game and just focus on finishing it up. Once I cross the 100-120 hour mark I start itching to play something else. Had a lot of fun with this game, sucks they cancelled a lot of future DLC, but happy with what we got. I’m kinda looking forward to a more linear style if the rumors are true for AC Hex, after four main AC titles being 100+ hours each.

Never really checked the trade wall and was pretty surprised how many epic collections they had of a lot of characters

Just explored the whole map, did all side map marker objectives like horse archery, kata, praying at all shrines, exploring all tombs etc. so now that’s left is story and side missions.

I got this game last week, finally started messing around in photo mode and saw a group of 4 talking by the road, not an actual conversation just the generic NPC idle in a circle. I zoomed in on their faces to be funny but then I realized that it’s actually pretty damn good for a generic NPC model. I know photo mode enhances character models and stuff, but still the coloring and shading looks really solid. Only thing that looks funky to me is the eyebrow hair and eyelash color look a little off.

Maybe cause I been up all night playing and I’m just sleep deprived, but this gave me a good chuckle.

Pretty quick play it says it took me 8 hours but feels more like 10-12 hours. Used a 20 year old text guide which wasn’t bad, I know I coulda used a video but I had more fun personally that way. Will say definitely some BS stuff like the trap floors, or in Metal Gear 2 you have a 9 square mini map you in the center able to see enemy placement in the next screen over. A few time I walk over to the next screen completely empty but as I was entering the room, a guard simultaneously two screens over that I can’t see enters and alarms. I will say I played it easy, I just wanted some light easy arcade fun that was Metroidvania style.

Probably won’t go for any of the Metal Gear Solid platinums. I just wanna play through the series for fun since Metal Gear collection vol 2 is coming out soon.

It’s honestly crazy how much there is to do in this game and how versatile the gameplay mechanics are. Never played it as a kid cause my parents barely let me play rated T games, so M games was out of the question.

Also my mom was definitely one of those parents who bought into the whole coffee scandal thing back in the day and thought this game was all about hiring, murdering, and abusing prostitutes and that was all there was to the game.

I know the definitive edition is the worst way to experience this game, but I still had a blast nonetheless. Just happy they had some kind of version of it to where I could experience it today. Also I think what really stuck out to me was it wasn’t just one city Los Santos, which before starting it up I thought it was just LS. So seeing San Fierro, Las Venturas, the desert and countryside, running around those three cities and open areas made the world feel massive in the best way. I don’t think I’ll go after any other GTA trophies cause this was also grindy as hell with the 250 collectables, gang turf wars, finding 30 cars and bring them back to boat, 50 taxis fares etc wasn’t terrible but definitely not the highlight of my experience. I would have been happy if they cut all that in half.

When Oblivion got remastered it not being nearly as vibrant was one of the criticisms. I know some people hate the filters, but for me personally I like them because it sets the mood. I have a feeling it’s not going to have these tints and be more colorful world, taking away the gritty, bleak grimness that Fallout 3 had.

Idk maybe that’s just me and I’m alone in this but was curious does the coloring of the game have an impact on the world to you?
