Though 4 was my first game so I didn't get the nostalgia blast when we went back to Shadow Moses. I actually had it reverse. I got blasted with nostalgia when playing 1 for the first time. I also played 4 over the course of about three years. I played it at a friends house (I can only visit her maybe four times a year) and her boyfriend owns a PS3. I got about 40% of the way through the game one visit. Didn't play for three years, then beat it one of my more recent visits. So I actually went in forgetting most of the story until everything came back around the final fight with Ocelot. Should I be saying spoilers? I'm gonna guess everyone who wanted to has already played 4. But I'm not sure. _________________ holycrapman wrote: ... then use karate to save her from a group of bandits.

Eh. I can edit your posts to black out the spoilers. Or I could just announce the spoilers earlier. I'll do that instead.
BTW. You for real fucked up by not playing them in order.

Beat 3, played most of Peace Walker on a friends PSP. Beat 1, skipped 2 because I wasn't ready to put up with Raiden quite yet and then beat 4. Went back and beat Peace Walker HD. Now I'm currently playing 2. So I (mostly) played them in chronological order. I gotta say. 2 is actually amazing once you get past the fact Raiden is a bit unlikeable. All the small things in it make it such a superb game. I'm actually stuck... It's not even at a hard part, either. I just suck at sneaking without a controllable camera. _________________ holycrapman wrote: ... then use karate to save her from a group of bandits.

The ending to 2 is pretty awesome once you've beat it and think about it a week later. _________________ exoskell wrote: Also… know that you are not and were not ever just fans to me.

What's your favorite Snake incarnation? Personally I like Peace Walker. I love the amount of gravel in his voice. I also feel like Big Boss in general has a much stronger character. We know how he thinks. But I'm sure if Solid Snake got the luxury of having hours of tapes in which he interacted with a variety of different characters, we'd understand him better too. Liquid's pretty cool, too. _________________ holycrapman wrote: ... then use karate to save her from a group of bandits.

Welcome to the forums and whatnot.
I have never actually played any MGS games. Not really for the lack of interest, I just never had a chance.

MGS3 is probably the only MGS worth playing these days. 'cept maybe Peace Walker.
1's a little outdated, 2 is wordy as fuck, and 4's story is pretty laughable.

And you're completely right, Cowbox. They're all still perfect games. The only one of the Solid series I don't want to play again is 1. Simply because it's hard. After I get through it this time, without accidentally killing Meryl, I don't think I'll be playing it again for a few years. (I was like "Oh hey can I use my codec during this tortur-- oh shit that's the button to give in.... fuck.") _________________ holycrapman wrote: ... then use karate to save her from a group of bandits.

Metal Gear's story would be better if Kojima let himself have an editor to cut down on the fucking word count.

Welcome to the forums.
My name's not metal man, and I don't throw metal gear snakes from my metal hands.
+10 forum points if you get a reference
+1,000 if you get both.

Hey! Welcome! and all that jazz.
I'm Megette (sometimes Megs, sometimes Lauren) and I am one of the few women of the forum.
in other news, I really liked watching Jay play MGS 4. =[
Guess I have bad taste.

MGS4 is easily the worst of the bunch. Not a bad game, but it just doesn't live up to the other games in the series imo.
