Out of curiosity, should I bother getting the Substance version of MGS2? I have a working copy (at least, I believe I do) of MGS2 and a copy of Substance that crashes when you open the first door, but the skateboarding minigame still works.

Of course. Substance and Subsistence are the superior versions of those games.

What am I missing out on from Substance?

European Extreme, Boss Survival, Casting Theater (you can replay scenes with different characters), Snake Tales (5 missions where you play as Snake in an alternate universe story), and probably the biggest addition of all, the VR Missions.

Oh, that sounds fun. Will have to hunt down a copy that actually works (I've had 3 bad copies of MGS2 so far) in that case.


If you get the HD versions on PS3 and Xbox 350 they come with the Substance and Substience versions

I'd recommend the MGS3 Substience version for the improved camera alone

"AC is about experiencing key moments in history"

.....from a perspective that's virtually unheard of in history outside of a few eyewitness reports (female Athenian gladiator)

Whats wrong with an animus being different? I really dont understand your complaint here.

Why is this one different???


Animus systems are supposed to let you relive ancestor memories, not alter them. That's why you can 100% certain memories: that's how the character did them historically. Ubisoft is rewriting their own lore to fit the settings

Samurontai posted...
Hell, theres hints that fucking Cain could have very well been the origins of the Templar order


I'm aware, but the modern-day Assassin/Templar conflict originated from the groups formed in Origins. To go back either means that they're ignoring what happened in Origins or trying to shoehorn some lore in there. Their comments on what makes this game an AC game in terms of overall impact are troubling too.

Plus moral choices totally go against how an Animus works


Source for this, because afaik there hasnt been a canon origin story regarding the Templars yet, so unless thats proven otherwise no time is too far away. You can still have an origin of the Templars without the assassins, one did have to come before the other after all.

Technically you arent supposed to go into the history of someone who isnt your ancestor, but that didnt seem to stop the protagonist of Origins from dwelling into Ayas past


Animus systems allow you to relive an ancestor's memories as long as you have their DNA. Keyword here being "memories", which moral choices would completely contradict because your ancestors' memories aren't supposed to be that flexible.

Ubisoft's response to this? "Layla's Animus is special." Are you fucking kidding me

The Assassin and Templar war began in Origins with the Hidden Ones and Order of the Ancients and lasted publicly until the Crusades, which Unity shows. Anything that happened earlier is either one massive coincidence or Ubisoft retconned a game that's not even a year old.

I dont see the problem with either of the two things you complained about


The gladiators thing is the furthest from the actual Assassins vs Templars conflict that it basically is just an Assassin's Creed game in name

It takes place long before either group was created and the only relevance it has is "Hurr the spear of Leonidas might be a First Civilization artifact"

That's like saying any RPG is a Kingdom Hearts game just because there's Gummi Ships in it

and the canon route already confirmed means that they're just throwing in popular RPG mechanics that are the trend

so a couple tweaks without completely destroying the game:

- make it so if you pick One Man Army as your first perk, you cant add an under-barell attachment. This would be similar to how if you had a grenade launcher as your attachment in MW, you couldn't have a blue perk

- make blast shield a red perk and have it replace danger close.

- remove aim assist for snipers or nerf the ADS time when using Sleight of Hand with a sniper.

- lower the damage for the UMP but keep its rate of fire the same.

- increase the reload time for the AUG, Famas, and M16 (this is to help balance the 3RB guns since its a 2 shot kill if your aim is really good.

- remove death streaks and make painkiller a red perk.

- Marathon just doubles sprint time, not unlimited anymore.

i think those would be fine without ruining too much of the gameplay.


-agree

-agree (or at least make it so you can't pick OMA and DC)

-agree

-hell no, the UMP would get outclassed quickly. They need to do it like MW3; nerf the range but keep the damage

-The burst guns were never really dangerous in this game tbh because the fire rate was capped

-death streaks are fine

-So you mean replace Marathon with Extreme Conditioning

Pistols are only in this game to run Tac Knife so you can Marathon Lightweight Commando easier

And that the semi-auto pistol (was it an m9?) kills in 2 shots with stopping power and fires as fast as you can pull the trigger (so kills nearly instantly) with very low recoil.


Might be the USP because the M9 has hella recoil

I always used the .44 Magnum though because the recoil in it is purely visual

M9 was so underappreciated

Did you know that due to a glitch the silence is literally useless on the M9

Played a few matches earlier today and the meta was just explosives everywhere and the occasional time I died from a bullet was a quick scope

Fuck the nostalgia, if they're gonna do this they need to make Blast Shield a proper perk and not a shitty gadget

MW2 is the only CoD to not get a proper balance patch either so nows a good time as ever
