    Well, since I beat Watch Dogs a few days ago. It had quite a few amazing tracks in a few song genres in the game. Truly brings out what Chicago's all about, at least with the jazzy mood it brings.

  • Thanks, buddy! Easy enough! I just gotta remember how to do it whenever I need to post a video!

    Good question, Dragon! It took me quite a few attempts to figure this one out too. When you've got the link copied there are two options

    The length is fine, I like something to get stuck into.

    David Hayter does seem to bring a certain personality to Snake, from what I've played, and though I don't mind Kiefer Sutherland, there was a review somewhere which, I think, also mentioned Snake sounding bored. I'm trying to remember what he sounded like in Call of Duty: World at War, however it hasn't stuck in my mind much. I'm going to hope that he was a little out of voice-acting shape with this game and things will improve for the next one. Quick question: why was Hayter not given the job?

    Splinter Cell was the first proper stealth game I played, dating back to the Playstation 2. I still recall the training level, actually. Anyway, that's irrelevant. My point here is that the camera angle and controls I prefer, probably because they were the ones I first got used to for the genre. The first three games, and probably the fourth too, were far less action affairs than Conviction - game number five - was, and I think the latest - Blacklist - tried to recapture some of those earlier games, so I imagine for this MGS they wanted to give people who are more used to that sort of camera and controls an easier time. Obviously this runs the risk of ousting one of the things that made the game unique.

    From the videos I've seen the graphics do look pretty great.

    Heard about the length. There are extra missions and collectibles, as I understand, though that doesn't entirely make up for the lack of main mission length. It wasn't sold for as much as most other games, though.

    As for story, how can you have much of one in such a short main mission? Your's is a very fair point, as without the sort story telling that makes MGS games MGS games, what's the point?

    Perhaps they decided not to bother with a soundtrack seeing as it's so short.

    You don't say :P

    Sorry for my wall of text there. To summarise, I think you've made fair points that all show it isn't a fully-fledged MGS title. 'So why release it' seems like a valid question to ask. I'm still going to try and go to it with an open-mind though.

    Well my opinion on Phantom Pain is a VERY negative one: sorry about the length Ok let me start: First off they replaced the iconic voi

    I see where you come from.

    Splinter Cell is a good game it's just a different type of stealth game compared to MGS

    The side missions are kinda boring but those do add to playtime.

    And finally to answer your question Hayter did not get the job because the creator said he wanted to seperate Naked Snake from Solid Snake which is a fair point but he should of got a better VA..

    EDIT: Well that's all for tonight because it's 5:00 am where I'm at and I'm tired XD

  • Mmm, jazz. Haven't heard Move On Up for far too long.

    I don't think I'd like Fallout 3 or L.A. Noire quite as much if it wasn't for the inclusion of the radios that played jazz. Don't get me wrong, I'd still really like them, I just find that it adds so much atmosphere.

    Loving Chicago in Watch Dogs.

  • Splinter Cell and Metal Gear Solid do have different vibes to them.

    That is a fair point, though Naked Snake is voiced by Hayter in Metal Gear Solid 3 at least, if not Peace Walker too, so it doesn't quite seem fair.

    You on Pacific Time? I admire your dedication to the discussion of MGS ;P

  • Aw yeah, jazz is like the poetry of music.

    And hell yes, If you're going to make a game that takes place in Chicago, it must have a minimum of 1 Chicago song in there, otherwise it won't stay true to the Chicago atmosphere, fact.

  • Say, do you know if the name T-Bone is a reference to the guitarist T-Bone Walker? Or is it something else I haven't found yet?

  • It does get confusing. I'm a few hours different to Pacific Time, which is also the time stamp on the forum posts, so I keep having to figure out exactly when something when said relative to where I am haha

  • You're gonna have to ask someone else that, as I'm not too good with names that aren't common to me, sorry man.

  • Yeah I hate when somebody says I'll be on at 2 Eastern time or some shit

    Then I'm like well I'm too damn lazy to figure out what time that is for me so I think I'll just sit here and wait. XD

  • It's cool, bro, I'm not of a deal of use when it comes to unknown names either. I don't know much about T-Bone Walker, other than that he was a jazz guitarist and had a connection to Chicago, so I will just route around online a bit more.

  • Hahaha XD that image of not figuring it out and then just sitting and waiting is strangely amusing
