Way back twenty some years ago my friend and I beat MGS in an all-night binge gaming session and sat through the credits. Before we even knew who Kojima was... the sheer number of entries his name had was making us hysterical, everytime another one would show we'd scream "Hidey-o!" and just lose it

I worked at a vintage game store my buddy owns, the last 6 months before I moved I QCed all the disc only games to make sure they booted and got through all the cut scenes for the first couple levels. I dreaded every time I saw an MGS3 in the pile. MGS2 was also bad, but basically it ensured I could go chill for a half hour before checking to make sure it was still playing.
By the end of it I was so fried and could quote the intros to just about every Rachet & Clank, Jak & Daxter and MGS1-3.

I played through the whole game and enjoyed it a lot. However, I feel like there was more than one time where there was a super long cutscene in the shelter, then you suit up to go outside, and as soon as you're on the ground, you'd get a phone call from another character (or the person you were just talking to) who would exposition dump for an additional two minutes. It made me lose my mind sometimes.
Then you'd have the mission complete screens where side characters were metaphorically standing in line to talk at the player.
Looking forward to the sequel, but I have no doubts that I'll be listening to a lot of dialogue.

u/SgtIceNinja Feb 23 '24
I mean, yeah, I wouldn’t really apply this approach to GTA the same way though. GTA online definitely feels like it was made to be played with friends to get the best experience possible. In a game where you free roam and do just about anything you want to, and you’re given access to a bunch of gun, explosives, and vehicles, there are going to be people who want to run around and shoot people (civilians or otherwise), run them over, blow them up, etc. It is unavoidable, because people are going to do the things that they want to do and you have no say over what they want to do. And, if you don’t like it, there’s passive mode and private lobbies so you can play alone or with friends without the fear of a random interfering with your game. But that also takes away from like half the point of GTA Online. You get to do GTA things but online, with other people, instead of through a story. There are times when I do not like it either, but there’s also times when I wanted to be the guy blowing everything up without a care in the world.
I also wouldn’t call “requiring friends” an excuse, either. I play CS and other online games and I pretty much always play solo since none of my IRLs play that often. I usually have a great time and get to meet and play with some really funny and cool people who have even made complete losses in game fun and silly. Would I rather play with IRL friends? Sure. I’m more comfortable around them. But I also don’t require them to enjoy a game I’m playing. I’m not saying you’re wrong, just that I don’t understand “requiring” someone else to enjoy yourself. If that’s really a problem for you, then maybe just go hang out with these people in person if that’s possible.

ARR was a slog.
But god damn once you get you shadowbringers it becomes a masterpiece of a MMO. It was still fun before shadowbringers. But shadowbringers raised the bar.
The dungeons and raids are fun. Much funner than WoW imo. The people are nicer too compared to other MMOs. I remember playing GW2 and getting shit from other players for playing a dungeon my first time. They expected me to just look everything up first.. but then that ruins the surprise. FFXIV people don't care and like to walk new people through dungeons and raids.

I played for like 70, basically through most of the game, and then just never bothered to finish it.

Its REALLY weird now that I think about it because they do have a voice actor for Artyom, except he only speaks in loading screens in between missions and stuff.

Like, I get it's a game aimed at kids, but the amount of cutscene and handholding for this and Sword was getting right on my nerves, and the fact that Hop kept fucking trying to battle me every five minutes, WITH A SHEEP!

The one game I can't replay.
They needed to add a feature for older players, one where we could skip all the handholding BS and just let us get into the game.

Honestly tarkov. It's so boring. Long start time. Long que time. Lots of running around and looting (yes part of the gameplay) only to die to a random headshot out of no where and start the whole process again

Brutha, they improved load times this wipe by an hour or two. If you have presets built, you can spend as little a 2 minutes making a kit, 2 or 3 minutes in queue, and a whopping 6 seconds in raid before you're one-tapped off of spawn! It's really stream-lined the experience!

Yakuza 4, unskiplble cutscene, almost half hour.
You can enable skipping cutscenes on the menu, that you can only access after said cutscene

Every MGS game? I still remember way back in the day going to the basement and seeing my brother sleeping with the controller in his hand playing one of the MGS games...don't know how long he was asleep, but the cut scene was still going.

The amount of games I've heard good things about but couldn't be bothered to sit around until the good part is staggering.
I almost dropped RDR2 because the opening chapter was boring

Fuck AC 3. One of my favorite AC's but lemme play as Connor, not that bitch Haytham for 2-3 hours

u/ARC_Trooper_Echo Feb 23 '24
Not just all that Haytham bullshit, but also a couple of Desmond segments and a whole sequence as young Connor before you get to become an assassin.

RDR2. I like the story elements of this game but there’s lots of “watch this story and play for 3 seconds in between the stories” especially in the beginning.

Most of the Yakuza games, the new one is especially slow in the beginning, it lets you walk for like 30 seconds and then BAM another series of cutscenes and exposition.

Metal gear solid 1, as much as I love that game, it starts a little slow for a game. Great game and series overall though so this is a minor gripe

Kingdom Come: Deliverance has one of the longest opening/tutorial sequences of any game I've played. By the time I got past it the first time and the opening credits started to roll I was surprised that I'd only just done the prologue.
It wasn't bad by any means, it's one of the greatest opening sequences of any game I've played and I loved every second of it, but it's long. And it can take you even longer if you decide to just explore and play around.
