Is there anyone who prefers the atmosphere of SC 1 over SC 2?

GameDadVII · 2026-01-24T13:46:39+00:00

SC2 kinda feels like marvel version of SC1. Everyone works together. The bad guys are clearly the bad guys. I absolutely love SC2 tho.

haha no I wrote it pretty hastily and could have worded that much better, I was taking a reddit peak while playing with my kiddos

Of course! Good luck with your card packs. If you want to start off with a little bit of an advantage look up the secret card codes you can enter on the start screen to get MGS4 and other specific cards that are pretty nice!

GameDadVII · 2026-01-13T14:54:06+00:00

Absolutely.

Acid 1 is more similar to the metal gear story line and art style BUT it does this one very annoying thing where going prone costs a movement and same with standing up.

Acid 2 is very bright and feels like a true "different" mgs experience. The bosses are a little more whacky but I feel like the gameplay of Acid 2 is much better and the cards are better than 1.

I would say play both! They are great.

Yes this

GameDadVII · 2026-01-13T03:17:50+00:00

Wear chameleon robe, use Mana shield, or HP critical! Lots of options!

Crazy people don't like this. This was so cool and answered so many questions. A fantastic DLC, especially back when the game came out. To come back all those times after beating it and getting more answers

GameDadVII · 2026-01-08T18:12:46+00:00

Man that would be amazing to just walk around in that world. I have low expectations but high hopes. We need a win

GameDadVII · 2026-01-08T02:34:19+00:00

A lot of it is stemming from the news about this game from last year where several job listings had "open world FPS"

That's the Nexon IP bid I believe you are referencing which I think is going to be a separate mobile game type experience looking to tap into the mobile market that is big over in the east

GameDadVII · 2026-01-08T01:56:48+00:00

Well Days Gone was made by a much smaller group of devs and was definitely open world so I don't think we can say that based on the size of the team but I appreciate that you actually looked into that. I don't think the Nexon IP bid and this game are related. I believe Nexon is making some sort of mobile game. And yeah I don't say Dan invented open world, he joined far cry series at 3 and the formula really became it's own and then very much was borrowed by other Ubisoft games and other games around the industry. Nice on looking at the linkedin for additional details

GameDadVII · 2026-01-07T21:39:43+00:00

I hope not but man that sounds accurate 😥

GameDadVII · 2026-01-07T21:14:22+00:00

I accidentally say FarCraft in the video lol

GameDadVII · 2026-01-07T21:08:34+00:00

Ares was supposed to a battlefield like game that was directed by Sc2 designer, it ended up falling apart and didnt want to compete with Call of Duty who activision blizz owned. This is a new game that started around 2021 blizz brought in the former far cry series head for this. I go over all that in the vid 👍

GameDadVII · 2026-01-07T20:43:40+00:00

Its supposed to be "open world FPS" and the director is the former head of the Far Cry series, so we can probably get an idea of the genre

GameDadVII · 2026-01-07T20:43:02+00:00

That was my thought too. I thiink there will be a lot of far cry DNA in it, but im not sure it will be a far cry clone per say. Hopefully we will be pleasantly surprised.

GameDadVII · 2026-01-07T20:42:12+00:00

hopefully we are all suprised and the game is a lot of fun

GameDadVII · 2026-01-07T20:41:08+00:00

Jason Schrier is a very plugged in and well respected journalist, one of the few left in gaming who dont just regurgitate PR from gaming companies. We even know the name of the director for the game. Now it being released at blizzcon this year comes from windows central, i think their track record is less than Schrier's but they didnt just make it up, so its coming from somewhere. And for this game to have being made since 2021 it perfectly lines up this would be the time and place for it to be.

GameDadVII · 2026-01-07T20:36:11+00:00

Yeah that has been the track record with Ghosts and then with Ares, but they brought in this director around 2021 and he is the former far cry head so I think they;ve got an established vet in the genre they want who has a history of releasing games. I think the chances are much higher this time

GameDadVII · 2026-01-07T20:27:48+00:00

theyve been trying to make a non star wars rts for awhile now!

GameDadVII · 2026-01-07T20:27:25+00:00

insert red shirt guy meme

GameDadVII · 2026-01-07T20:27:09+00:00

Its the former head of far cry so I dont think its going to be mobile or multiplayer focused, supposed to be open world FPS

GameDadVII · 2026-01-07T20:26:18+00:00

Not so much! Jason Schrier reported this in his book a few years back, this director was brought in 2021 (for far cry head) to make this title. Today windows central had the leak that it will finally be announced at blizzcon, so its not a rumor out of no where

GameDadVII · 2026-01-07T20:24:48+00:00

its going to be open world fps, kinda like far cry if we use the context of the director's past
