The only good thing about these MGSV threads is that they're a reunion for us posters that waited on hands and knees till we got our copies. And even afterwards, discussing the game with Brau, Ishida, Foxtrot, Screaming Meat... It's been bitter sweet.
I've been watching OHN (drk29) stream Ghost Babel, and I've noticed that GameboyColor Color game handles the themes of Revenge and Phantoms (Shadows in this case) better than TPP. GB has convinced me that Fukushima deserves more credit for his writing.
On to a smaller note. I've noticed a trend where MGSV had made people appreciate MGS4 more.
aw.... i miss the community thread.
I keep in touch with a lot of you guys. But i do miss the good days when hyping and speculating was all we had.
I made tons of awesome friendships through the production of MGSV.
Truly, i yet to find a thread with such a significant, friendly, crazy and passionate community as MGS. I've looked... i yet to find a new home.
