Releases March 19th. Anyone interested? I've been following this title for a fair while now. Began with seeing a GIF of combat randomly under something entirely unrelated and I thought it looked incredibly detailed, with long-range weapons interspersed with what seemed to effectively be wrestling moves, so I had to ask the person what it was. The scope of the game looks incredible, both in terms of the map and in terms of what you're able to do within the world. Pearl Abyss are known for Black Desert Online but have been working on this for many years and it is using a proprietary engine, one which a recent former developer has said was effectively being rebuilt and renewed every year since the project's inception to keep improving its capabilities.

I don't tend to buy many games these days new but I've had this one planned for a long while and am very much looking forward to getting into it. A lot of people are suggesting if it lands with its aims it'll be a definitive contender for GOTY. It's not something I've put much thought into as we've seen many a promising title come and go and not deliver on what it aimed to or claimed it would, but things are looking good for it just a week out from release.

And if you can believe it, it is Monday once again! Time for another Caption Quote Contest!

Our image this time is from a game that everyone's talking about lately-it's Metal Gear Solid 4!

You know, here in the US March is known to be a month of madness. Namely for tournaments. So I figured what better way to celebrate than with our own...but with video game series! To do so, I found some of the best selling and popular franchises of all time and randomized them into slots on a tournament bracket. Welcome to....MGF: The Tournament!

So without further ado, I'll go over the basic idea and how it'll work.

• For this tournament, they're 64 entries, divided into two brackets of 32. 
  
• The two links down below each lead to one of the two brackets. Simply vote for which of the two franchises you like most down both lists.
  
• Click the blue Vote button by each matchup after you've made your selection.
  
• Each round lasts for a week to give people plenty of time to vote. The starting round lasts until 11:59 PM on March 7 and so on.
  
• You can see how many votes have gone into each matchup, but not how they were distributed until after the round.
  
• To determine our winner in April, the winners from each bracket will have one final showdown against each other.
  

Hi guys! I used to be fairly active back on the Metal Gear Legacy forum, and was pretty depressed when I went to check in and it was down   . Little did I know that a new home was right around the corner! I wish I looked around a little harder, and maybe I would have found this place sooner! 

I suppose I'm a bit too young to have ever known the experience of engaging in meaningful ways via online forums and chatrooms. But my short tenure on MGL was special, and the only time I've ever got to talk Metal Gear with people who had any idea what it even was   . My knowledge has gotten pretty rusty now (I am neck deep in a years long Final Fantasy obsession that REFUSES to die), but now I'll have a reason to start loving the games again!

I unfortunately no longer have a computer, so I'll be huffing it out mobile style for the time being, but I'll definitely be checking in to see how things are going! I hope everyone has been well!  

This thread is for publicising small changes that aren't worth an entire update thread.

As the title says. I know a lot of us haven't played MGS4 in a long time so which part of the game are you most eager to experience again on current gen tech?

I'm personally most excited for Act 2. Laughing Octopus has always been my favourite boss in the game and the South America section leading up to her isn't as fresh in my mind as the locations in the other Acts so it will feel more like a fresh experience compared to those.

I'm also eager to play around with the gun customisation. I remember it being such an exciting part of the game when I was younger and felt super "next-gen" lmao.

Hello! Here's another of our "Cardboard Box Vox Pops", where we get the general consensus of the forum on some simple questions.
For those of you that use a theme with a sidebox you'll have noticed the poll has appeared there to maximise the number of votes we get. If you wish to explain your answer feel free to in this thread, but otherwise, feel free to vote and explain nothing!

This time our question is about your thoughts on MGS Master Collection Vol. 2's contents?

Hello once again! I'm working a little late tonight but here's the latest Caption Quote Contest!

Today our image is from a title that was a glaring omission from the recent Master Collection Vol. 2 announcement. Feel free to come up with your entries on the bus, at the park, or even stealthily in the office as this time it's Portable Ops!
