How about this… Sometimes when I go on a website with an adblocker the place where the ad should have been is instead replaced with message that says “please unblock us”. What if I did the opposite, start off with something like that which encourages users to register and help us by allowing us to display ads? “This is where you would normally…[Read more]

Much appreciated.

You know where I stand on ads, but I quickly want to make it clear for other people: I don’t mind unintrusive ads, and I think of them as necessary revenue for otherwise free content. I don’t run adblockers and instead I simply don’t visit sites if I think their ad system isn’t worth their content. Once in a while something…[Read more]

Dammit, I really need to see some RE7 gameplay that doesn't look like PT. I like the new direction, but give someone a gun already please.

How are you inserting line breaks into your comments? My comments all come out as a single paragraph.

My goodness… “Backseat Gamer” holy shitpickles I look forward to seeing more of this, Craig.

As for this game, I can only see it as a low effort cash grab. Everything said and shown about the project so far is […]

From the moment I started building this site I have always intended to keep the advertising on the site very limited, though I was not entirely sure how I wanted to tackle this. I personally hate advertising on a website like this. I often feel like other websites create content simply to push the ads, not because they love creating content.

Now,…[Read more]

The sad thing is that the result of this game failing will only further enforce Konami's belief that there is no money to be made in video games. It will mean the death of more than just Metal Gear, but also […]
xsuicidesn0wmanx replied to the topic New series – Deconstructed Games in the forum Shooting the Shit 8 years, 12 months ago

Bioshock Infinite is close to the top of my backlog, I bet I’ll have that done soon, maybe even before the start of the holiday game season.
Joel Castro replied to the topic New series – Deconstructed Games in the forum Shooting the Shit 8 years, 12 months ago

Yeah, it spoils arguably the most important scene in the game, so read at your own risk. The MGS2 post won’t be done for a while though, as the research involved with that game is extremely dense. The BioShock Infinite one is actually a bit easier, but requires some knowledge of quantum physics (ughh). Dragon Age: Inquisition might actually turn…[Read more]
xsuicidesn0wmanx replied to the topic New series – Deconstructed Games in the forum Shooting the Shit 8 years, 12 months ago

I like the idea. Looking forward to the Metal Gear 2 deconstruction as that is the only game out of the 4 I have beaten. Spec Ops is in the top 3rd of my backlog right now and I’m making an assumption this has at least a few spoilers.
Joel Castro started the topic New series – Deconstructed Games in the forum Shooting the Shit 8 years, 12 months ago

I started a new series. It basically boils down to me analyzing games a bit deeper, and even taking them apart so as to see what they’re trying to say. I started with an easy one in Spec Ops: The Line, but I intend to do the same for divisive games like BioShock Infinite, Dragon Age: Inquisition, and even Metal Gear Solid 2 (the latter will…[Read more]

I’m a sucker for things that take well known tropes and/or cliches, and decide to say “hey, maybe this kind of thing isn’t as realistic as we think. Let’s show people why!” This is called a deconstruction, and it […]
Joel Castro commented on the post, How to Fix "Metal Gear Survive" – Backseat Gamer 8 years, 12 months ago

If Konami actually cared, they'd sell the rights to Metal Gear to someone who actually cares about the franchise. Same goes with Castlevania and Silent Hill, because they've constantly proven that they […]
xsuicidesn0wmanx commented on the post, How to Fix "Metal Gear Survive" – Backseat Gamer 8 years, 12 months ago

Now that is a great idea! Backseat Gamer! I love it!

You're also on point. This looks like a cash grab, and the last thing Konami can afford to do is give off the illusion they don't care about the […]
Craig Taylor wrote a new post 8 years, 12 months ago

The recently-announced Metal Gear Survive is in pretty shitty standing with the public as of right now, mostly due to Konami’s bad decisions on how to present the first post-Kojima Metal Gear. The trailer below s […]
Craig Taylor wrote a new post 8 years, 12 months ago

The first Metal Gear game after series director Hideo Kojima’s departure from Konami, Metal Gear Survive, was announced early this morning.

Survive takes place after the events of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zer […]

I’ll be honest, I thought Gamescom 2016 was going to suck pretty bad since both Sony and Microsoft had no plans to hold any sort of press conference this year. So far it’s been pretty good tho. There’s been a ton of new trailers for games coming out this year plus a handful of announcements.

Ubisoft and EA have had somewhat of a large presence at…[Read more]
