Media Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain & Ground Zeroes

Re: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Yup, I played it again with my surround system and it was amazing.

Think Im going to have to squeeze another playthrough in before the PS4 drops. Think Im at 20-25 playthroughs now

The briefing scenes become more tolerable just because of the surround mix.

My favorite audio moment perhaps was in the first few minutes during Snake's reveal where Gekko kicks the brick wall. Every of my buddies who came over would be startled by the sound of a crashing brick wall.. from behind you.

The thing that made MGS4's audio so special is that they broke the rules of your typical surround placement, normally you shouldn't allocate important audio cues (such as dialog) to the rear in movies or games but they did it nonetheless.

Yeah I never used to appreciate the audio aspects of video games as much until I played MGS4. Dont get me wrong I always loved the soundtracks but the different sound effects, weapon sounds,bombs,tanks,animals ect from MGS4 really caught my attention. Really is superior!

Would you buy it if it were re-released on PS4? Going buy previous titles Id say its a strong possibility. Id probably double dip on that though.

For sure. I’m hoping they do somehow release the MGS series on next gen. Once it was announced Ground Zeroes is coming out this spring on next-gen I was comfortable finally upgrading.

I've never seen one episode of 24.

It is ****ing awesome . 24 was always pushing the boundaries on how violent you can make syndicated television and get away with it.

I truly consider this my favorite TV series of all time. Bauer saves the country time-after-time, only to get screwed over by the higher ups - and he as to deal with extremely tragic and horrific things as a result. The overarching plot line also involves a massive international conspiracy, sort of like The Patriots from MGS.

One of these days I'll give it a shot. I think the entire series is on Netflix now. I think the last Fox shows I watched was Married with Children & Cops

Yeah, it's on Netflix - definitely give it a watch! Some seasons are better than others. Season 1 starts off very slowly, but it reaches a very climactic end.

Plus, you might have a better opinion of The Kief after you watch it .

I can't imagine anything beating Firefly, if there is, I don't wanna know about it.

Oh yeah, definitely. How can I forget Firefly? I am so conflicted right now .

It would have been awesome if Donald Sutherland showed up as Bauer's father in Season 6 . James Cromwell did a pretty good job, though.

Solidus, you can't just be a browncoat and toss around the word "best TV show ever" generously towards others. That's alliance talk, son.

In all seriousness though, I've introduced Firefly to about 20+ of my close friends and of all of them, only 1 didn't like it. That's crazy statistics!

Re: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

It's amazing how a 14 episode show can have such a tremendous following. I loved Firefly the first time I saw it. I also became a big fan of Summer Glau .

I've rewatched it so many times on DVD. Screw FOX for ending it so prematurely .

Each episode was obviously made with a lot of love.

Me too. I hope you didn't first catch it on FOX where they aired it out of order.

I also became a big fan of Summer Glau .

..wait. STOP READING MY MIND!
