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.

Destiny 2’s New “Gambit” Mode Revived the Game’s Competitive Scene

Destiny 2’s competitive scene has always been a second thought compared to the co-op PvE activities. At the launch of Destiny 2 Bungie tried a different more team-play orientated approach with an all 4v4 pvp match-up. Over time players got tired of that formula, especially, the way players were strategizing. The only way to be competitive is to team-shot a player at long distance, this was the only way everyone played. This kept the matches long and stale. Bungie understood the frustration and decided that they will change something about the Crucible (PvP). In July, Bungie pushed an update that changed the 4v4 format for Crucible to a 6v6, just how it was like in Destiny 1. Adding two more players on a team might not seem like a big change, but it completely changes how freely your team can strategize, this is especially true with solo matchmaking. Bungie knocked it out of the park with this change, of course they had a lot of help from the community. The community wanted th...

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 ...

The Calming, out of this World Experience from Tetris Effect is a Great Change of Pace and Emotion from Other Tetris games

Ahh, Tetris. A game that your parents and almost every other parent knows. The longevity of it has made it evolve over its existents with the “hold” mechanic – which I’ve grown up with -- and doubling down on the competitive nature of Tetris with Tetris Battle, Tetris DS, Puyo Puyo Tetris, and more. Growing up I was terrible at Tetris – making lines with falling blocks was simple enough, but I didn’t understand how to fix my mistakes. There are many insane Tetris players that I can’t even think about competing with. The stress of trying to keep the best layout of blocks while trying to keep up with my opponent is too intense for my taste. However, Tetris Effect is the total opposite of all those competitive Tetris incarnations. The way Enhanced Games and Mizuguchi plays with music and players emotions to then incorporate it into a puzzle game or even something like Rez: Infinite can give old concepts like Tetris a new breath life. Everything in Tetris Effect is amplified by x...
