Metal gear solid

Series

Added:
any one played the series? I only played metal gear solid, the one for ps1. Later ones looked very neat, but at that point, I was mostly a PC gamer and didn't get ps2, ps3, etc. I did watch my cousin play little bit of MG5: pp, but my impression was the story was getting overly confusing and hard to follow. I'll probably watch it still.

Yesterday, I decided to watch playthrough of the series, quite exciting how graphics moved up a notch. (I wont be playing them.) I saw MGS3, and I think it kind of seemed to take James bondish type spin with the woman. and ending seemed a bit "action movie" goofy. Watching #2 now.(out of order, what's with rhat??)

What are your thoughts on the whole thing? Anyone think they'll make any new ones since kojima left?

Sooner than later, I would add something to this first post to give it some kind of meaning/direction...

Snake Plissken ripoff!!!

Only halfway interesting character in the whole series is Quiet - for obvious reasons [emoji16]

What about otacon? I thought he was cute! Very interesting character

Ah, okay, so..metal great according to taco.

MGS 1 was the most immersive experience, at least to my middle school mind. That's when I was playing it theough.

MGS2, finished watching it today, what a mess while I do enjoy brain inverter techniques to rattle, this one is taken up a notch to a point where it's not enjoyable anymore. Too many plot twists. Ending was terrible, not at all satisfying! It did have some good humour moments matching the original in a way.

#3, struck me as a James bond movie with those endless woman encounters and dirty scenes. Ending, like I said earlier felt like a rush attempt to wrap things up because they dragged on for too long and had to finish quick?

#4- terminator movie? Just started watching it. Poor watermelons..I think it's pretty neat actually! got some random scenes..

I like how they keep it 'more believable'.. in a way
Definitely a lot different from predecessors

Wow!! Meryl MERYL IS HERE!!

Alright, so I finished mg4. Out of the whole series, probably #1 and 4 are the best. Really enjoyed how all characters came back to reunion. It was a little annoying, once again, how there are too many plot twists. First, they want to kill you, then you succeed, and it was their plan all along, gimme a break. Also, a bunch of supernatural stuff is a little over the top, and those "BoobworX" were a little overdone. Why are always all women walking around half unzipped up there?

Let's see... I think I beat the first two if I remember right (and the original Metal Gear for NES).

I have Metal Gear 4... but I've never had time to play it. Actually I have Metal Gear 5 as well because everybody on Playstation Plus has it for free... THAT one I never even thought about installing. I even having Metal Gear Rising Revengeance.

It's hard to play something like Metal Gear now... gaming has come such a long way. I'd love to play the original a few more times. It was pretty simple and not too long once you got past all the text. With each sequel it became like a 68 hour odyssey... and I just don't have that kinda time anymore. I prefer to play something like Uncharted or The Last of Us where I can actually SEE a light at the end of the tunnel.

Those games... of course... owe a LOT to Metal Gear Solid. So if you miss the spirit of the original, but don't feel like getting ***-deep into Kojima World... then I'd suggest picking up the Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection. All the adventure... NONE of the text!

are you just watching playthroughs online?

 

[UltraTaco]

Yeah, I just wanted to catch up, see where the story went. I did game the first one for PS1.

 

[Niku-Sama]

you have brought much sadness to me

 

[UltraTaco]

Why is that?

(We can still be friends, right?)

some things are best experienced in person and not via proxy

Agreed this applies to many things!
What a collection of hardware!!
