Thread: Metal Gear or Resident Evil

  1. #1

    Default Metal Gear or Resident Evil

    Well to help me quit smoking me and my friend made a bet, If I quit he had to watch an hour of Bruce Springsteen Live at Barcelona, and If I didn't then I would have to watch him beat all three Metal Gear Solids

    well I started dipping for a while and I felt that I cheated him, so I offered for him to watch a half an hour of bruce, and I'd watch him beat either RE or MG.

    So which do you guys think I should watch him play, because I've only played 15minutes of each and dont know what to pick.

    btw since then I have quit dipping and smoking so the bet definitely helped.

    That depends if he's skipping cutscenes or not. =P

    You're going to get a better storyline experience if you watch him play Metal Gear. Except for Sons of Liberty, because that just stops being coherent at the end. Resident Evil's story isn't as captivating, yet the gameplay seems to make up for it.

    I like Metal Gear and all but Resident Evil definately takes it. Not RE4 though, just the first three and CV.

    I'd say Metal gear then, in my opinion the best in the series. I never finished RE 1 though, but it should be interesting aswell.

    I say go for Resident Evil. I watched my brother play through that not too long ago, actually, and it was really fun. I liked Metal Gear Solid a lot, but I don't think I'd have a ton of fun watching it. Besides, MGS is way longer.

    Well, it depends. Which game do you play a LOT? And which one does he suck at?

    If you gave the same answer for both questions, go with that one. It's aggrovating watching somebody who sucks at a video game when you know everything about it. Plus, it will take longer.

    It's not Kojima's fault you lack lack brain capacity.

    well I've never played either for more than 15 minutes, and I guess he's good at both. I've always wanted to play MGS 1, Resident Evil I only played when I was like 7 years old and I was too afraid to do anything after I saw the first zombie so I never got into the RE games.

    Absolutely Resident Evil, MGS is not the type of game you watch someone play, it would be terribly boring. MGS is a fun game, if you're the one playing. However, in RE, it'll be like watching a horror movie, in its own way, which is better than nothing.

    I'd personally find watching MGS better than watching any RE game, especially RE1. At least MGS has a great story to get wrapped up in. Frequent backtracking is never fun and blowing off zombie heads is a lot more fun when you're doing it. MGS's story can be enjoyed whether you're playing or not though.
