    Yay, I beat MGS 2. Still a masterpiece, I continue to love Kojima. I'm gonna take a break with some other games before I move to Snake Eater.

    @Neco @Dark Raven X @Houn @simonwolf

    One of these days I'll have to play MGS3. And then 4. And then whatever else you're supposed to play before GZ and 5.

    so far it's me

    Hype trains have only one destination: disappointmentville

    Cautious optimism is the safer mode of transit.

    I prefer the Cyni-cycle, because being a cynic means you either get exactly what you expected or are pleasantly surprised every time.

    3 is good
    4 i think is a good game (??) with too many cutscenes and garbo writing

    I think MGS2 is still probably my favorite, although 3 comes close.

    4 is pretty meh.

    I didn't care that they were long, I cared that they were kinda bad.

    Flying is miserable enough as it is. I may never board a plane again if they implement those seats.

    MGS4;s quality is just so over the place it is in no way a great game IMO.

    Act 1 is ok but I spent 90% of the time fighitng the new control scheme and dealing with Octocamo.
    Act 2 is Snake Eater 1.5
    Act 3 is OLOL Terrible stealth sequence/ too long movie/awful rail shooter
    Act 4 is a nice surprice and fun to play
    Act 5 is a terrible designed area and a terrible boss fight followed by a awesome final boss

    As you can see, the semi-upright seating allows even large people to wedge themselves in.

    As a short person this makes me happy, because tall people rule pretty much everything so I know that when the airlines finally meet their "absolute maximum amount of discomfort we can force on people without them actually coming after us with pitchforks" the end result will be something I can probably live with.

    Act 4 of MGS4 is a shameless nostalgia trip but it works so darn well that I forgive it. Also the boss of that sequence is the ultimate MGS fantasy, so 10 points to Act 4. The rest of it tho, ehhhhh.

    Elki and Houn, MGS3 is da bes, get to it! :D

    Oh brilliant

    Being a cynic also means never having to admit you were wrong, because you can just re-cynicise when necessary, until what you're claiming will happen does happen, thus proving your cynicism about the whole chain of events was justifiable.

    I have GZ, but I'm only allowed to play it after I replay the entire main series. Maybe I could pick up a PSP/Vita for cheap and play Acid.

    4 is the only game I played once, and I barely remember it.

    When asked about their demands, the terrorists stated that they would not release hostages until, quote: "every fucking airline executive is made to sit in one of these godforsaken torture seats for 5 hours"

    Is Batman vs Superman basically admitting that the last superman movie was really fucked up and superman was really a second villain?

    I still don't understand why they haven't gone to Fifth Element-like padded tubes. You could stack six of them, two stacks of three, in the same area you can only fit three seats. Put a plug for electronics and a little screen for messages/in flight entertainment in them.

    Or they're going the "crazies are only here because Superman attracts them so it's his fault" route like they have with Batman a few times.

    they might as well make all passenger planes cargo planes and just put us into cryostasis tubes

    that's the inevitable evolution of these seats

    It seems to be at least paying lipservice to the notion that Superman wasn't too arsed about destroying shit and potentially killing thousands while punching some dude for no goddamn reason.

    The issue is that there are a huge number of people who have some level of claustrophobia and couldn't tolerate being in a rack.

    I can't quite buy that a human being can even remotely begin to fight the Superman from MoS, no matter how shiny his power armor. Maybe they'll smack Supes with a nuke to nerf him down to a level Batman can cope with for a few minutes. Or kryptonite, you're go to McGuffin for dealing with Superman.

    I liked the look of WW in the trailer but I wonder what role she plays in the film. It looks like they have plenty of Batman origin stuff in the film so there doesn't seem to be much room for a WW origin.

    How many BWAAARRRMs in the new BvS trailer? More than the last one?

    I have so little faith in that movie, but it's got a huge advantage in Suicide Squad being around the corner. In contrast, BvS being mediocre might end up looking good. ;P

    There was definitely a glowing green rock in that trailer.

    I could handle a floor level rack. Anything above ground for something that small would require that I always be on a heavy dose of xanax.

    Someone in [chat] I think, or maybe elsewhere, made the point that airlines are doing this because airline customers have shown time and time again that the overwhelming priority is price, not comfort or features.

    Oh, Jesse Eisenburg is supposed to be Lex Luthor, I see.

    Man they are shoving a shitton of stuff into this movie, how are they going to deal with all of it?

    Seems like it might be heading towards Spiderman 3 levels of cramped.

    Top rack 4 lyfe

    BO and farts move downwards. Bottom racks smell like sewers. Middle racks are only slightly better. Sailors are an unclean people.

    I've taken 14 and 16 hour flights in economy on airplanes. Eventually you hit a point where you're ready to claw your own eyes out and the asshole in front of you shifts and the seat bangs your knees again so you shift your legs a to the side a little so they fit and the beverage cart slams into your knee and you start to laugh to hold back the murder.
