Like a new strawberry! I'm experiencing the MGS series for the first time. I played through Metal Gear Solid for the first time on Saturday...with the help of Necronopticous and Kishi. Without their help, the game would have taken much longer to complete, I'm sure. Took quite a bit of getting used to.

Plus, it's INFURIATING! Liquid Snake is RIDICULOUS! I blew up the helicopter he was piloting; I shot missiles directly into his cockpit while he controlled Metal Gear; Metal Gear exploded with him in it; I punched him until he fell into an abyss; and I shot him in the face and torso until our cars collided!

Yet, I never had the pleasure of actually ending him in any of these instances, and I'm pretty miffed, still!

Overall, though, it's pretty enjoyable and filled with priceless moments. Case in point: near the end of the game, I threw a guard down and ran off. He said, "I thought I heard something..."

:mymeltitter:

Next Saturday is reserved for MGS2. Better not see Liquid's face again. I hope he burns in Heck!

Congrats! And welcome to a fun, albeit weird, series. And MGS 2 will define that sentiment. Weird (don't ask)

You could make a good comic strip out of that. Snake just tackling a guy and then him getting up; "I think I heard something."

You get the camo by submitting to Ocelot's torture and then beating the game. Otacon will give it to you during the ending. I think you get the tuxedo after you collect the bandana and the camo.

Ohhh, I see.

Well, I think I'd play the game again. If I do, I'll remember that.

Your Mileage May Vary (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YMMV?from=Main.YourMileageMayVary). It's probably the biggest Mind Smurf in the series though MGS4 and AC!D are pretty close as well.

Finished MGS2 last Saturday and am starting MGS3 tomorrow, possibly.

I'd like to take this opportunity to say again: Screw you, Liquid!

Edit: Oh, but Raiden is beauuuuuuuuuutiful!

MGS2 was awesome. Then Kojima just had to go and fuck it all up with the 4th.

You've just played the best one imo (unless it was that horrendous Gamecube version in which case you need to take a long, cold shower. In your clothes.), MGS2 and 3 are also great games, but don't get your hopes up for a great end, MGS4 was pants.

I disagree. Games with as many thrills in it as MGS4 are rare. Storywise it has it's good and bad moments, but I enjoyed every single second of this final entry.

MGS3 was the best MGS, without question, because you can fight off the ghost of a cosmonaut with a fork. The end. (unintentional word choice there, but that was a great boss battle too now that I think of it)

I also agree that MGS3 was the best one. Had the best boss battles. Plus capturing and eating creatures was a lot of fun. I thought the subtitle was a code name or something but no, you literally ate snakes.

How do you explain Snake becoming a one-eyed monster then? And President Johnson? :colbert:

It would've been even better if Snake was black.

Black...snake? I... I don't get it. So instead I'll post something that should've been posted a long time ago:

God. Now I have to play it again.

The best part about Snake being in Smash Bros. Brawl was that you could play with this as the background music. It made it even more wonderful.

Finished MGS3 a few weeks ago, although I didn't complete a lot of the boss fights alone. The boss fights in this series really annoy me, but at least the bosses in this game actually die when you defeat them.

Anyway, good game! I think I like MGS2 better, but MGS3 is quite special!

Plus, Ga-ko uniform! "What's wrong with being cute?"
