Video Game General

The mech in the original MSX version of Metal Gear must have been pretty impressive for its time… I’ve never actually played the game or seen many screenshots or footage from the MSX version to be honest.
 
Of course, the NES couldn’t handle it so they replaced it with a supercomputer at the end.

@Jarkes
 
It didn’t move or attack. It was just background scenery you had to plant C4 at the feet of, like with the supercomputer.
 
I think the only difference was that the one with the Metal Gear has 2 laser turrets defending it. Not even attached to the mech itself, they were off to the side.

Is the TF2 update acting a bit buggy for anyone else?

Sweet TF2 is back up.

It’s the revenge of Meet Your Match. Dammit Volvo.

@Dustcan
 
Ah. I’ll bet it still looked cool though.
 
Did they use its design in the Metal Gear Solid games at any point?

@Jarkes
 
Technically. I can recall one instance where the concept art of TX-55 was used as part of a memory thing. Which is not that unusual for MGS; it tended to keep the sprite/low polygonal graphics of the older games intact when flashbacking to them even in the 360/PS3 era.
 
This is TX-55 by the by.
 

 
Yeah. Somehow we went from the Shagohod, Peace Walker, Zeke, and Sahelanthropus to…that.
 
Technology in MG is weird.

@Dustcan  
Well, that’s what happens when a series gets more fleshed out, advanced, time and technology passes in real time… and then begins to churn out prequels.
 
Same thing happened with Deus Ex, when Human Revolution, set many years before the first game, was more technological advanced than it.

I’m pretty sure the MSX versions of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake were bonus features in Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence… Even had new, not crappy translations (though it was the first time Metal Gear 2 had been translated officially).

@Dustcan  
That’s Kojima’s story telling for you.

@Dustcan  
Not playing right now, but can I add you guys on Steam?

@Dustcan  
Huh, I got into a match fast, when the queue worked. I click find match, a popup says “joining queue” and instantly goes away. Basically not finding a match at all. On top of that items take forever to load.  
@ArcticEight  
Sure, here is my steam.

@ArcticEight
 
Go for it. I’m either just Dustcan or dustcan1 on Steam. Either way my avatar’s the same. I can’t figure out how to find my account or others in a browser so you’re going to have to send the request.
 
I need someone to help me get those “Steam Friend” cheevos anyway.

 
Yeaaaaaaaaah!

Everyone is a pyro.
 
Gonna need to adjust my own pyro loadout.

@Dustcan  
As a Pyro main, that’s going to be annoying for me, if I get it working.

@Mike  
@Dustcan
 
Added you both.
 
@Meanlucario
 
Also try “-autoconfig” and remove it again when you’ve started the game once like before.

@ArcticEight  
How do I do that?

@SquiggyBomb  

@ArcticEight  
Also, my account name is Meanlucario, if you’re interested.

@SquiggyBomb  
On easy you can start messing around there for some better items and lots of levels around level 20 as long as you dodge the wargs in the first area, but i would advise steering clear of the main dungeon till around the time you can readily kill the drake in devil fire grove,

@ArcticEight  
k

How would I be able to edit me startup command line?

@Dustcan  
Guess I’ll be none of them. (Sniper main btw.)

@Meanlucario  

 
Ignore all the text in there. You just click properties on your game and then this.
