CREATURES OF THE NIIIIGHT

[unij]

I don't get why so many freakin' games feel the need to put in vampires when it doesn't really fit in with the plot. I mean I haven't played most of them, so I don't know if they have it fit better in the universe, but it just doesn't seem to make sense based on what I know.

Metal Gear Solid: war games, lots of guns and sneaking around, shooting people, with clones and robots, advanced technology, bioengineered soldiers and... vampires. Where is the connection?

Fallout: Post-apocalyptic, grungy and based around nuclear activity. There are monsters, but the vampires are, as far as I can tell, random throw-ins of normal humans who drink blood and don't go into the sun because they are "creatures of the darkness." It would be one thing if they were just straight-up Refined Cannibals or whatever, but they gotta be vampires.

I bet there are others out there, too, but those are the ones that stand out as kinda random to me.

Nope, just the computer and DS. A friend has a PS2, I go over to her dorm to play Persona 4, I don't know if she's got any of the MGSes with her. (haha yeah I've heard mixed reviews and also 8 hours of unskippables.)

My ribs will already be hurting from laughing so it'd be par for the course.

Tell your friend to get at the very least MGS3 so you can play it. It's probably the most cohesive game plot-wise, but at the same time, one of the craziest. The bullet bees that Guin and Panda were talking about are in that game.

God you're such a jerk

Aight, I'll see if I can get it on the list if I ever get through Persona and she also might be making me play like Bioshock and other stuff who knows how long that nonsense'll take.

I haven't played Bioshock but I've heard it's pretty good. Also The Fountainhead: The Video Game.

I honestly wouldn't know. I basically have no experience playing games outside of like... JRPGs, so. I mean, I've heard of Bioshock, which means it's gotten a lot of hype and is therefore probably good.

I have heard it's very difficult to be set back by death in that game. I guess you'll... like it? I don't know. I have no idea what it is like.

Hooray, ignorance!
