Metal Gear Solid V Definitive Edition is Available, Just in Time Too

Metal Gear Solid V (MGS) is the last Metal Gear game from Kojima productions. Metal Gear Solid: V Definitive Edition will be packaged with Grounds Zeros, The Phantom Pain and all the DLC. All in one package, releasing today October 11. If you had thoughts about buying Metal Gear Soild V, this is the best way to get the Metal Gear Solid V experience. I didn’t experience Ground Zero and am currently playing The Phantom Pain. 




I’ve have been playing through the whole Metal Gear Solid series starting from Metal Gear Solid 2. I started this series because I watched a feature on Giant Bomb which two members play through the whole series. So I decided to join them. I watched the playthrough of Metal Gear Solid, and the way it looked and played with the camera made the game unappealing. What did appeal to me was the cut scenes. The game was a set piece in how video games presented cut scenes a meaningful way.

Watching them play MGS: 2 was what brought me into the series. Playing through the Metal Gear Solid HD collection feels amazing with 60 FPS. Gameplay wise it was enjoyable. The controls wasn't great but I got comfortable the more I played. The series has always been known for their memorable boss encounters. This was the many reasons why it gravitated me to MGS. In MGS: 2 the bosses still carry that unique feel for every fight. The story starts of a little slow but really ramps up after a couple hours. The last hours of the game made the gears in my head turn, which made this game one of my favorite games I have ever played.


Each and every one of the game was a really fun experience. And each of them are different in their own way. For MGS: V they take this game in a completely different place, and yet still manage to maintain the Metal Gear feel. They expanded on the stealth and gunplay, and seems less focused on cut scenes. The amount of detail during missions is second to none. So many options in completing a mission keeps me thinking, playing it or not. The Definitive Edition is the best way to play Kojima's last Metal Gear game.

After watching the lets plays of the Metal Gear Solid series, and now playing through MGS: V I consider myself a Hideo Kojima fan. This is a series that I want to talk more about. The Metal Gear Solid series is the best game series I have ever played. I hope more gamers will try out MGS: V, it might take a while to feel comfortable with the controls and stealth. But after you get over them I’m sure that you will feel as I did when playing it the first time.

Mario Tennis Aces “Swing Mode” is Really Disappointing

Mario Tennis Aces is the latest entry to the Mario Tennis series. This time around Nintendo did no wrong with their tennis series giving us an adventure mode where you move from level to level to complete a series of challenges, a fun online/offline tournament, and exciting local play. I haven’t played the Mario Tennis series since the GameCube days, but I’m having as much fun as I did back then, expect for one mode that made me hate motion controls. During the lead up to launch I had questions about full motion controls, if they would support it for full matches? Can it be an alternative? and will it be like Wii Sports or will it have depth will in the base game? These questions were answered just a couple of days before launch and I was disappointed in how Nintendo implemented the motion controls. Coming from the developers of Wii Sports and how well the motion controls worked with the tennis mini-game gave me hope that Nintendo could do something great with motion ...

My Game of the Year (2017) – Destiny 2 #3

There was a lot of excitement for the Bungie ’s second go around with Destiny 2 . There was a lot of controversy over what was changed and what didn’t return from the first Destiny .  At first the changes were for the better, it allowed new players to finally wrap their head around the system that was difficult to process in original Destiny.   Rising reputation with an NPC is one change that was assessable newcomers. In Destiny 1 it always felt like a chore, because of the bounty system. This system made it a more difficult task due to the action associated with the bounty – this can range from headshots with a sniper in PvP to complete 3 strikes. With Destiny 2 , the reputation is more streamline with turn-in tokens. Earning these tokens are common and I great resource of gear/weapons when you’re first starting out. These tokens are associated with each planet. Its great Bungie is listening to the players and in doing so, made an assessable loot shooter for the ca...

My 2016 Game of the Year: # 5 Firewatch

#5 Firewatch When I first saw early builds of Firewatch I thought it was a different and new approach in an engaging narrative. The way you can interact with objects and the small clues you can find within the environment provides more life to the world. Firewatch was the first game I played in the genre, but there are other games that have the same kind of first-person narrative. Gone Home is one of the recent and well-received first-person narrative game. The two games are similar in gameplay, you walk from objective to objective trying to put the pieces together in the world. Gone Home is set in a house, and in Firewatch’s case, you’re in an open forest. Campo Santo are the developers of Firewatch and was formed by former Telltales: The Walking Dead developers. Once I knew about Campo Santo and the developers that were working on the game I had a sense of what to expect. Character Building Makes You Sympathize with Henry The game starts strong with a se...
