[img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/33/Metal_Gear_Solid_cover_art.png/252px-Metal_Gear_Solid_cover_art.png[/img] [quote]Metal Gear Solid (メタルギアソリッド Metaru Gia Soriddo,? commonly abbreviated as MGS) is a videogame by Hideo Kojima.[5] The game was developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Japan and first published by Konami in 1998 for the PlayStation video game console. It is the sequel to Kojima's early MSX2 computer games Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. The game featured cinematic cutscenes rendered using the in-game engine and graphics, as well as voice acting in numerous codec sequences.[6] Metal Gear Solid follows Solid Snake, a soldier who infiltrates a nuclear weapons facility to neutralize the terrorist threat from FOXHOUND, a renegade special forces unit.[7] Snake must liberate two hostages, the head of DARPA and the president of a major arms manufacturer, confront the terrorists, and stop them from launching a nuclear strike.[8] Metal Gear Solid was very well-received, shipping more than six million copies,[9] and scoring an average of 94 out of 100 on the aggregate website Metacritic.[10] It is recognized by many critics as one of the best and most important games of all time,[11][12] heralded as the game which made the stealth genre popular. The commercial success of the title prompted the release of an expanded version for the PlayStation and PC, titled Metal Gear Solid: Integral;[13] and a remake, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes was later released for the Nintendo GameCube.[14][15] The game has also spawned numerous sequels, prequels and spin-offs, including several games, a radio drama, comics, and novels. Despite a transition to 3D, the gameplay of Metal Gear Solid remains similar to its 2D MSX2 predecessor Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. The player must navigate the protagonist, Solid Snake, through the game's areas without being detected by enemies.[16] Detection is triggered by the player moving into an enemy's field of vision and sets off an alarm that draws armed enemies to his location.[17] This also triggers "alert mode" and the player must then hide and remain undetected, at which point “evasion mode” begins and once the counter reaches zero the game returns to "infiltration mode" where enemies are not suspicious of Snake’s presence. The radar cannot be used in alert or evasion mode.[18] To remain undetected, the player can perform techniques which make use of both Solid Snake's abilities and the environment, such as crawling under objects, using boxes as cover, ducking or hiding around walls, and making noise to distract enemies. These are carried out using the third-person camera; which often changes its angle to give the player the best view of the area possible, and an on-screen radar, which displays enemies and their field of vision.[19] Snake can also make use of many items and gadgets, such as infra-red goggles or a cardboard box disguise.[20] The emphasis on stealth promotes a less violent form of gameplay, as fights against large groups of enemies will often result in serious damage for the player.[21] Intermixed with the player's progress are cutscenes and codec conversations as well as encounters with bosses. To progress, players must discover the weaknesses of each boss to defeat them. Game controls and play strategies can also be accessed via the Codec radio, where advice is delivered from Snake's support team; for example, the support team may chastise Snake for not saving his progress often enough, or explain his combat moves in terms of which buttons to press on the gamepad. The Codec is also used to provide exposition on the game's backstory. Completion of the title provides the player with a statistical summary of their performance, and a "code name" based upon it, typically the name of a common animal. In a first for the Metal Gear series, a training mode is available in which players can practice hiding techniques, weapons use, and sneaking. In addition to the stealth gameplay, there are set piece sequences that entail firefights between the player and enemies from the third-person and first-person perspectives.[18] [/quote] I recently replayed it, My wrist is still injured from the torture segments.

Playstation 1 master race. Those were the days :unsmith:

Bitch please I had a [I]turbo[/I] gamepad.

nostalgia'd, this game was brilliant. took me ages to figure out how you beat mantis though.

My friend cried when he beat this game. Am I like part of the small minorities of people who dont cry over metal gear solid.

I shed tears when I got the [sp]Meryl dies ending[/sp]. Then I cried more when [sp]I got the Meryl Lives ending[/sp].

Fuck, I haven't played this in a while. I think I'm at the point where you fight Liquid in the Hind.

[QUOTE=JesterUK;28210402]Fuck, I haven't played this in a while. I think I'm at the point where you fight Liquid in the Hind.[/QUOTE] Worst battle ever. I hate it.

Still haven't beaten the torture segment. I got the game July last year, and I haven't been able to play the rest of the series yet because I want to beat the games in order.

[QUOTE=Test Card F;28210434]Worst battle ever. I hate it.[/QUOTE] It's a pain, but that part where you had to run up the stairs with the endlessly respawning eneimes was worse.

Shooting the console box to turn off the electric floor was agony. whichonestheconsolewhichonestheconsolewhichonestheconsole

still never gotten around to playing any mgs games fuck I wish my ps1 still worked

Stun grenades are your friend in the staircase of infinite enemies. Although you need like 3 metric tons of them.

Spamming stun grenades made that part not so difficult. Also, I had problems with Metal Gear Rex until I found out I had to use chaff grenades...

[QUOTE=Pandz;28210776]Stun grenades are your friend in the staircase of infinite enemies. Although you need like 3 metric tons of them.[/QUOTE] heeh....I just run up the stairs, shooting my Famas, Rambo style.....

[QUOTE=DEMONSKUL;28211179]heeh....I just run up the stairs, shooting my Famas, Rambo style.....[/QUOTE] That's what I did. It was pretty easy once I found out that you could run and shoot at the same time.

[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;28210714]still never gotten around to playing any mgs games fuck I wish my ps1 still worked[/QUOTE] You can buy the first one (the only good one) off the PSN store.

such a great game

I played Twin Snakes, which is pretty much the same right? Other than game mechanics.

[QUOTE=TizzYcho;28211849]You can buy the first one (the only good one) off the PSN store.[/QUOTE] The only good one? Are you forgetting about mgs3 man?

[QUOTE=Lance99;28210991]Spamming stun grenades made that part not so difficult.

[editline]22nd February 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Wiseman400;28212885]The only good one? Are you forgetting about mgs3 man?[/QUOTE] all of them were good in my opinion.

[QUOTE=TizzYcho;28211849]You can buy the first one (the only good one) off the PSN store.[/QUOTE] I don't have a PS3. In fact I don't even have any console :suicide:

[QUOTE=Louis;28210067]Bitch please I had a [I]turbo[/I] gamepad.[/QUOTE] Didn't he kill you for that? He knows.

[QUOTE=TizzYcho;28211849]You can buy the first one (the only good one) off the PSN store.[/QUOTE] Except for all the other ones, yeah it's the only good one. As for the game, anyone find the ghost pictures?

This is certainly a contender for my favorite video game ever. But that torture scene oh my god my wrists [editline]22nd February 2011[/editline] Also, best song ever [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6miaTf1gF4g[/media]

I got MGS 1, 2, and 3 in a pack at Wal-Mart for $20. Played and beat MGS. I started playing MGS 2 and I don't think I'm far as I think I am. I'm also playing MGS 3 and I've just reached the top of the mountain to talk to EVA. I'm probably going to beat MGS 3 first, then 2. Then all I need is a PS3 and MGS 4.

My friend lent me this today. I'm going to play it for the first time ever tonight!
