Metal Gear Solid thread

I want MGS5 to be about either Liquid Snake during the Gulf War or Frank Jaeger and how he earned his codename. All of my favorite characters are in MGS1 and I want to see more of them.

I don't mind Rising being considered canon material but it makes the ending of MGS4 seem unceremonious and personally I don't think the series needs any additonal cyberpunk flair; take the series back to the 90s and first half of the 2000s make it feel like MGS1 again.

The only Metal Gear game I've played is Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and I thought it was fantastic.

I actually own MGS3: Snake Eater but I've never got round to playing it.

Loving a game, then buying the sequel which in some fans' opinion is even better and not touching it. :P

If I was you, I'd start playing. If I wasn't, I think I'd do it too, it was a while ago when I last played the series

I've never played any Metal Gear Solid games, although I plan to download the PS1 game off PSN when I clear Abe's Odessyee

Abe's Odessyee

In all the years I've been on this forum and all this time I've played Oddworld. I have never seen someone misspell Abe's Oddysee that bad.

I can''t wait for Metal Gear Rising: Revengence to come out. Platinum games have done no wrong so far.

I tried to fix it but stupid Firefox doesn't recognize the word "oddysee". I think I'll just refer to it as "AO" from now on.

Crashpunk · #10 06-24-2012, 05:35 AM

It's no problem. I just found 'Odessyee' funny

doomcorner64 · #11 06-24-2012, 06:29 AM

I just realized the way I pronounced it was "odd - es - yee"

My reaction:

Seriously though, I hope that we won't play as Solid Snake after MGS4. "MGS5 part II", according to last development, will be set in the 80's, we will play once again, with Naked Snake.

Diamond dogs and all that jazz.

Parody's aside, I did enjoy MSG 3 although the story did seem to ramble on in parts... Very good PS2 game for the time, perhaps I'll give it a replay at some point.

Strike Witch · #14 06-25-2012, 03:05 AM

My favourite is 2 because of how crazy the story got.

Holy shit...people like you are rare.

Oh, I've seen those Metal Gear Awesome videos before but they're still funny. I don't normally like that kind of thing, but those are almost spot on. All of the things mocked in that video are the reasons that I like MGS. It's a bit quirky, you have to think outside the box. I'm yet to actually finish #1, I'm stuck on Psycho Mantis after finally beating Grey Fox. I'll probably start it again when I move the PS3 into my room. I have plans to buy the HD collection because I've heard great things about 2 and 3.

I've played lots of #4, but again never finished it. It lost momentum in act 4, which was full of references I didn't understand as it was the first MGS game I played. Act 3 was a load of arse. It was >50% cutscene. After 45 minutes I skipped the ending cinematic.

I have very mixed feelings about the series, but on the whole continue to find things I enjoy.

Steamer_KING · #17 06-25-2012, 05:11 AM

Don't play MGS4, it'll just ruin the entire series for you. Believe me.

Phylum · #18 06-25-2012, 05:13 AM

As someone who has played most of MGS4 and is now going back and enjoying the series I must disagree with you.

An ending you disagree with is better than no ending.

Varrok · #20 06-25-2012, 05:32 AM

MGS4 is cool.

I have to strongly disagree with you. MGS2 was supposed to be the final chapter. Also, why is Big Boss alive in MGS4? Story-wise, I mean.

Varrok · #22 06-25-2012, 05:48 AM

MGS was supposed to be the final chapter. Or maybe it was MG2. Or MG. Who cares.

No, don't give me that. I want to know by yourselves, not a page who fuck things up.

Varrok · #24 06-25-2012, 06:13 AM

The Big Boss's ressurection from wiki page pretty much fits to what I remembered while playing.

Well, do you know what a Snatcher is?

Laser · #26 06-25-2012, 06:21 AM

The only way I like MGS is fucking insane. Japan is so awesome at crazy shit in their games.

Because he's fucking Big Boss and Metal Gear is at its best at taking really kickass twists and turns.

Laser · #28 06-25-2012, 06:26 AM

MGS4 is still one of the biggest reasons I want a PS3. I love the first 3 and I am saddened that I can't finish the series without buying a PS3

Strike Witch · #29 06-25-2012, 06:35 AM

I quite liked MGS4.

Everything I've seen of it looks like they turned up the insanity of MGS 1-3 up several notches and made it more playable. Is that true?
