I would say Twin Snakes is the best. Because I bought a mint version and I want to drive its value up, one forum at a time...

Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Ha, ha! I was mostly just goading you. 😄
Actually, if I’m consistent with my previous posts somewhere in the past on these forums I’m pretty sure I’ve established my preferences as MGS3 was the best and MGS5 was second. It’s been a long time and I need to replay Snake Eater for sure. And I actually never played 2 to completion I don’t think. That should be my priority is to get a better full playthrough of Sons of Liberty.

@Rudy_I used to buy and sell copies of Twin Snakes at one point, you could get it for a tenner on Gumtree and sell it for £50 elsewhere. Then people cottoned on. Still, I made a couple of hundred out of it lol.

Kept one copy, of course

I figured @Th3solution ... hence why I came up with the stupidest reasons to like MGS 1 & 3 over 5

Daaaaaamn @kyleforrester87 ... that was a pretty nice thing you had going... wish I'd thought of that 😅

I've beaten MGS, Sons of Liberty, Snake Eater, and Guns of the Patriots multiple times over several years.

I've yet to beat Phantom Pain even though I've owned it for two years.

To be fair, Phantom Pain is amazing until you hit chapter 2.

@DerMeister I’ve said this on the forums before, so I apologize if it comes across as redundant, but I actually really liked the ending of The Phantom Pain. The reveals made at the end were a great payoff, imo. I know that there supposedly was a third chapter that was planned and Kojima wasn’t allowed to finish it the way he originally wanted, but if you didn’t know that, then the story wouldn’t seem the least bit incomplete. Yes, the mission structure suffers a lot in that second half and the repetition is hard to defend. But the narrative is really good to me. Maybe I’m just too dense, but I didn’t see that twist coming! I won’t spoil it since you haven’t finished it, but it really does wrap the story up pretty well.

@kyleforrester87 Well I did buy my copy from a dodgy bloke in a pub down south. Seemed like a cyclist type...

Though my copy was cheaper. Ish.

@PushSquare Sorry! A few days ago I had to reinstall my laptop's browser, and apparently it turned AdBlock back on for this site. If you all can't pay the rent at the end of the month, just send the sharks after me.

Not sure where else to post this, but a couple days ago, the towers in Mortal Kombat 11 got that patch it needed. For those who don't know, the Towers of Time mode was plagued by rough difficulty, and overall felt stacked against the player. After the patch, it's now far more manageable. The AI is easier, the modifiers against the player seem to have been nerfed (Notably, the assists have longer cooldowns), the koins for dragon challenges have been increased (previously, you got 100 koins for each dragon challenge, now it's 1000), and prices for the boxes in the krypt have been reduced a bit, so now the game feels less grindy.

Felt I should post it, as I haven't seen an article here about it.

This might've been the first Bank Holiday weekend where I've done the traditional thing of constructing flat-pack furniture and other small DIY tasks...

...were it not for the fact that I did it all on Thursday. So close!

Playing Dark Souls 1 at the moment, made it all the way through the catacombs and that other pitch black area (tomb of giants?) came to a locked door. I thought the second bell was down there 😂 horrific trying to get out again. Took hours falling about in the dark. Found a torch eventually which helped. I think I did that area way early lol

@kyleforrester87 Ha ha yeah I think most people go that way when they first play Dark Souls. I didn't go there till much later in the game. I know some people hated, but I really liked it, proper scary like.

Does it matter? Even their full releases feel like early access, so what's the difference?

@ZeD How went the flatpacks?

Tomorrow I'm building a new desk, just so that I can measure the available space before buying the biggest monitor possible for my forthcoming PC.

Always good to have something to put on the furniture you build!
