Can someone explain the meaning of this to me: "the most dynamic, satisfying stealth gameplay Metal Gear has seen in some time"

The only recent Metal Gear game was Revengeance, right? Which wasn't a stealth game. The last stealth game in the series was Metal Gear Solid 4 which I would describe as being "seen" much longer than some time ago. Nevertheless, they're saying it's better stealth than MGS4, but probably not 3? But they make a point of writing Metal Gear, not Metal Gear Solid...which implies that they're saying it has more dynamic, satisfying stealth gameplay than Revengeance. In which case: lol.

since MGS4 you have had Metal Gear Solid Mobile, Metal Gear Solid Touch and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. Clearly Mr. Shoemacher was including those in his analysis.

Just a PR stunt. Technically the last couple of years the MLB season has started in Japan, now it is our turn.  Some of the Dodgers players were pretty vocal in their disatisfaction with having to come down here.

Playstation 4 owners, have any of you noticed that Linear PCM sound does not work right on the console?

I thought it was just me, but apparently not because I googled it and tons of people are saying that when they turn Linear PCM on their PS4's, they can only get 2 channel stereo sound from their recievers. Obviously, Linear PCM is supposed to be full surround, not stereo. This is also the sound option on the Wii U, and it works fine on the Wii U with no issues like this at all. Its a completely uncompressed surround option, which makes it even better than Dolby Digital or DTS.

DD and DTS work fine on PS4 thankfully, but it really annoys me that Linear PCM doesn't work how it should. You'd think Sony would release a patch to fix whatever issue the console has.

Speaking of the Xbone, a co-worker of mine had bought one last Christmas, and he recently traded it in for a PS4. He said Tomb Raider looks and plays a lot better on PS4 than it did on Xbone. LOL Can't say I blame him. If only there were something new to play on PS4 ... perhaps something like Diablo III: Reaper of Souls? *sigh*

In other more positive Blizzard news, I've continued to play Hearthstone this weekend.

The more I play, the deeper the gameplay becomes. It's a lot of fun. I'm still amazed that it plays well on my laptop.

Metal Gear awaits.  You can also try to play that copy of Donkey that you probably still have sealed.

Never liked Metal Gear, and even if I did, I wouldn't pay $30 for a demo. Nyaa

I sent DCKTP back to Amazon for a refund. Just not in the mood to play it.

I'm downloading the Diablo III Starter Edtion for PC now. I saw a video of someone playing D3 on a laptop with the same shitty Intel HD graphics card I have, and they were actually able to play it. *crosses fingers*

EDIT: Shockingly, it plays pretty well! Granted, I can only play it at 720p with everything set to low or off, except for textures which I have set to high. It looks noticably worse than it does on PS3, though, so I probably won't be playing it much.

Nope. You should have bought it 6 months ago on the 3DS, or 4 months ago on Steam.

Just got back from the convention. Apparently the attendence for MegaCon may have been higher than ComicCon. Frightening how big this thing has gotten. Pics will be coming later in the week.

And in the meantime I've been switching back and forth between Super Metroid and The Guided Fate Paradox.
