VinVal
04.23.14 | noo 2, 1, 4, 3, peace walker. fuck the haters mgs3 was not as epic as the fourth and not as innovative as the first, but mgs2 is the magnum opus sorry bros |

NakedSnake

Haven't played Peacewalker yet. |
NakedSnake
04.23.14 | Sons Of Liberty is the greatest game of all time. |

04.23.14 | In case anyone is unaware, Ghost Babel is THE best game on GBC |
NakedSnake
04.23.14 | You must have misread my comment. |
VinVal
04.23.14 | No love for mgs1 |
NakedSnake
04.23.14 | It's one of the lesser ones in the series, but I mean they're all at such a high quality that being low on the list is still way better than the majority of games out there. I mean, 3 and 4 are almost equal. 1 is great, if flawed. They're all amazing games with the exception of Ground Zeroes. |
XingKing
04.23.14 | If you're talking to me, Naked, I said on GBC |
NakedSnake
04.23.14 | I accept your apology. =] |
VinVal
04.23.14 | You forgot the best game in the series, revengance |
XingKing
04.23.14 | ♥ |
NakedSnake
04.23.14 | Oh yeah, revengeance. Forgot about that, kind of a spin off though. I got stuck on Bladewolf and haven't touched it since. |

04.23.14 | Sons Of Liberty is the greatest game of all time.
No it's not. lol It's a story writing mess. A lot of the convoluted areas of the series stem from MGS2. It was technically phenomenal for its day, and the story was good, but it certainly isn't the best one. |
DrGonzo1937
04.23.14 | In case anyone is unaware, Ghost Babel is THE best game on GBC
Agreed Xing! |
evilford
04.23.14 | MGS1. no contest
MGS3 is a classic as well but still doesn't touch 1
2 is good but goofy as hell
haven't played any others. never had the money for a ps3 |
DrGonzo1937
04.23.14 | 1 is untouchable, agreed. I like the fact it isn't as exaggerated as the other ones. Voice acting was superb for the time as well. I really hated Twin Snakes.... |
evilford
04.23.14 | yeah agreed hard on that. the story in 1 was the best by far. honestly the best of any video game I've ever played by far. hell I'd just watch someone play through the game just to watch the story, that's how engrossing it is.
and the score was great and voice acting was spot on. the score got way too dramatic after 1. and the voice acting wasn't terrible after 1 but they tried way too hard, especially david hayter.
and the bosses and boss battles were just plain better than 2 and 3 overall. mgs2 had 87 metal gear rays you had to fight, and a gay vampire and a fat dude on rollerblades in a bomb suit? gmafb.
although the battle with The End in mgs3 may be my fav boss battle ever |
evilford
04.23.14 | the fear and the pain were dumb |
Dolving999
04.23.14 | This is pretty spot on.
Props for listening to 6! |

04.23.14 | Everyone talks about how 2's story was a mess. No one seems to appreciate that that was kinda the point. The final hours are brilliant in how so much is thrown at the player as if the media floodgates were being opened. It's not supposed to make sense, it's symbolic of the very themes that the Patriots are talking about. Same thing with the whole Raiden/Snake switch - it was representative of how the lies of the media can change your perception of what's the truth when what's actually there is something we'd rather not confront (in this case, playing as a whiny ninja). It wasn't until the second play-through that this all clicked for me, but dammit once it did I realized that Hideo Freaking Kojima really is a genius. |
MaskAtTheMasquerade
04.23.14 | Can't believe how long I've been sleeping on this series. as soon as im done with Mass Effect 2 and 3 im starting them up |
VinVal
04.23.14 | kojima is a master storyteller you take him out of the game and its just not the same metal gear, ala metal gear rising which was really just another devil may cry. but god raiden is so fucking cool |
evilford
04.23.14 | @elcrawfodor - I think you're giving mgs2 too much credit. it wasn't all bad and there were parts of the story that were actually good. but it was a mess, and whether that was actually intentional or unintentional is irrelevant to me.
also, regarding your comments on the raiden/snake switch, I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. kojima took the player out of snake's shoes to give snake's story and the series a different perspective. I don't see where "lies of the media" has anything to do with it... |
elcrawfodor
04.23.14 | The player was deceived by the media that you'd only play as Snake. Kojima was manipulating the player just as Raiden was being manipulated by The Patriots. The whole theme of the game is to not trust what's fed to you, but rather to discover truth on your own, a message that's conveyed by the lies the player had been told beforehand. |

04.24.14 | @elcrawfodor
You make some pretty good points. I remember playing mgs 2 when it first came out and being completely lost. Everytime I go back to it I learn something new lol |
NakedSnake
04.24.14 | I honestly love all the 'goofy' stuff that are in these games, the ridiculous bosses and supernatural stuff, all the weird awkward stuff. I don't know why. |
EJinHD
04.24.14 | I'll never forget the scene when president Johnson grabs raidens junk confusing him for a girl. God I laughed so hard |
elcrawfodor
04.24.14 | THEY PLAYED US LIKE A DAMN FIDDLE!!
Other than that line, I've really enjoyed Ground Zeroes. |
NakedSnake
04.24.14 | ^lol
I liked Ground Zeroes as well. But if I'm entirely honest, I felt really empty finishing it. Of course I heard that it was like 2 hours, but I was still surprised by how short it was. I really would have rather it been included with the entirety of 5. That being said, it was still cool. |
evilford
04.24.14 | well technically, if the media was fed lies to begin with, weren't we lied to by kojima? :P |
elcrawfodor
04.24.14 | KOJIMA YOU BASTARD YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN |
NakedSnake
04.24.14 | Lol, but seriously blade wolf is impossible to beat. |
