Relatively unpopular opinions about any and everything

I dont think the returning characters add a lot to MGSV and wished their places were covered with new characters instead.


I enjoyed Eli and probably would've enjoyed episode 51. However I rather have gotten a return to Camp Omega and a Skull face boss fight instead. The latter feels more fitting to the story the game was trying to tell.

But thats a common problem with the Big Boss era games. There is a disconnect between the stories it set up and the ones it ultimately told.

Prequels are tough.

Honestly? Game is a bit overhyped, even if it is good.

First: No real indoor combat. I wanted more indoor combat. The mansion was neat enough. But we don't get indoor locations in the other missions/open world.

Second: The open world is empty. Get big patrols. Armies moving. etc. If there's a mod for that I might put the game back on.

Third: It's not a finished game. THe company fought against itself.

There's unfinished footage with Elie at the end, which explains a lot. He puts the gun to his own head after Venom hands him the gun. He can't target Venom. Because Venom is giving him the choice.

He ends up not doing it of course. It helps to explain Eli's drive when he's older in Metal Gear Solid.

Metal Gear does one thing well. "Hard situations." Pushing people to make the hard choices. Eli grew up learning that the hard way. So he teaches that to Solid Snake later.

Memes. The DNA of the soul.

Hot weather such as heat waves suck, it is always nice to see sunny skies and bright days but dead heat with no breeze is terrible.

i'd prefer Netflix's adaptation of DMC to be a reboot as the games never came together as a satisfying whole storywise.

Im fine with the big two (Marvel and DC) rebooting every decade. It serves as a solid jumping point and allows them to have momentum and commit to big swings.

I want more metal gear games but im not sure about a reboot. I rather get more spinoffs like Rising with a different protagonists.

 

[ef9dante_oSsshea]

Konami are unable to do a good metal gear world or story without kojima, even for rising he was heavily involved with platinum. Metal gear survive was a konami mg without kojima and shinkawa and the team.

Metal gear survive was absolutely crap, so i have no faith in a metal gear without the original writers and artists. Even the mgs3 delta remake is using all the old voice work and more, it is just a very polished paint job.

im just saying if there is another Metal Gear, I rather it be a spinoff than a reboot as i like the cast and the history of the saga.

Ya that makes sense, but still would rather it be outsourced to kojima as konami are terrible at making mg games on their own.

Plus all the original metal gear team either left with kojima or are gone or retired now. I would be all for a new spinoff if kojipro did it, but not if konami does.

id love to see Kojima do a prequel about the Cobras in WW2.

Most of the fanbase want that buddy ,in fact i made multiple threads on an mgs forum about that and a double agent espionage game where you play as ocelot.

Boruto Two Blue Vortex is a better time skip than Shippuden.

Shippuden felt like it outgrew Naruto the character while TBV makes good use of Boruto.

Steak is not actually as nice as people make it out to be, i mean it is okay but there are far nicer meats out there.

i would be interested in the Sorrow visiting Silent hill.

i preferred Liquid possessing Ocelot than Ocelot using self-hypnosis.But doing a horror game where Ocelot tries to exorsise Liquid's soul would be cool.

Really hoping that RE9 gets announced at the Game Awards. Not had any motivation to do my usual talking about RE lately, as I found I was just saying the same things I had reiterated. But I hope the series finds its footing again.

I fear another action heavy game is coming due to all the veterans who are said to be in the game. And the 'plot leaks' make it sound like it will be like RE4, with villagers branded with moon crest tattoos being involved. Or something.

That's by no means a bad thing, but I don't like games that have too much action, and if the BSAA are involved, I hope they explain whether they're really the blue Umbrella in disguise, or whatever the Ethan Winters storyline has been alluding to up to now. I'm hoping this will satisfy the current arc so they can focus on reviving storylines, like with Billy or Carlos, and Alex Wesker.

It doesn't make sense. The story feels like it's kind of just been inserted because it sounds good to have people thinking about Umbrella supposedly still being operative. Although I found the plot for RE8 to be a disjointed pile of hockum, due to Chris deciding to ship the Winters to Europe. Seems like a bad move, giving how they reveal the mould originated there with Miranda. So Chris setting Ethan up like that just felt like it was not really something Chris would typically do. Seems more like what a rogue vigilance pursuer would carry out, rather than a person who is aiming to be heroic. And then the bosses. They were too cartoon-like to be scary.

Somebody send that wanna-be-dictator-Yoon to North Korea - he's obviously on the wrong side of the border!!

Can we cancel traditional Christmas? I really don't feel like putting up and taking down all the decorations, which are all really irrelevant to the actual celebration. What's a tree with baubles and tinsel got to do with anything? WHAT IS THE SIGNIFANCE? Oh, I know - to leave glitter and tinsels all over the place FOR ME TO CLEAN UP ON A DAILY BASIS. It's work. It's not fun. Don't preach to me about how we need to teach the kids not to expect something every time they come in the car with us but then in the same breath say that the kids expect Christmas to be all decorations and trees and fudging mess. Like, shut up, you hypocrite. I'm always in charge of clearing space in our teeny tiny compact house for this enormous and pointless 7 foot fake tree to go up and I'm in charge of supervising the kids to put it together and decorate it and I'm in charge of cleaning all the mess it makes for the next month.
So here's the thing.
I'M IN CHARGE.
If I don't want no tree, there will be no tree. If you want a tree, YOU DO IT AND DEAL WITH IT.
Christmas is supposed to be about family and time spent together. Decor is superficial and NOT what it's about. I'll spend more time cleaning and maintaining decor than I will spend quality time with my family. Nope. Lower all ye expectations.
My foot's been put down. It ain't budging.
Edit-
Don't use the lame ass excuse that it's for the kids, you don't remember ever having a Christmas without a tree, and that one day I'll look back on this and think I should have just done the tree thing. Actually. ONE DAY I'm going to look back at this and look at you and say "I'm so glad I no longer have to fuss and stress over a stupid fudging tree. Do you remember that time you said I'd regret not putting it up? Well, no regrets here to be had, see?"
Like. Why do men set these stupid expectations and not think about the impact it has? I'm so bloody depressed I'm surprised I've even made it this far and to put this on me when I really, really, really don't have the mental or emotional capacity to deal with it is UNBELIEVABLE. Thanks for putting me first, honey. As always my place is in the dirt stuck to the scum at the bottom of everything. I'm. So. DONE.

Parenting is hard.
They lie when they say it gets easier.
It doesn't. Throw some ADHD sprinkles, Autism glitter, smashed anxiety, puberty and mental health into a blender, drink that every day and tell me it goes down easy. It really doesn't. I want to chill because I'm low-key anxious about going into full time work next month.

I bet 2025 will just be a dull year like any other year is. Every year starts off okay at the beginning. Because, well, nothing really happens during the holidays. But then it's just the same routine for another year.

But I hope I can get my flat cleaned and relocate. It's full of mice scat because unless you kill or capture them, they will continue making a mess and rummaging around under the floorboards, and chewing at materials to build a nest.
