[QUOTE=RichyZ;37613704]im not saying its worse, i think pw is the best in the entire series, however, i personally think it has just as much if not more wacky shit

But it literally doesn't have nearly as much crazy shit as the other games. Like, it's a literal fact. Monster Hunter thing isn't even a canonical thing it's just in there because the MH team worked on the game.
[QUOTE=spekter;37613439]Here we go again folks!
Anachronism is a staple of the series and again, even though you're pointing out some of the "wacky" elements it's still one of the least bizarre games of the series. Just because it's not 100% full of hyper realistic elements does not mean it's instantly as crazy as the rest of the games.[/QUOTE]
As far as the canon stuff goes, sure, it's the one of the most realistic. Once you get into non-canon content, however, you realize just how ridiculous the concept of Big Boss fighting mythological dinosaurs is.
[QUOTE=DimJim;37613761]i've given up on fighting the pupa type 2
it's not even a hard fight, it's just that using all the ammo i have for my rpg while wearing battle dress only gets rid of a bar of health if i'm lucky[/QUOTE]
You've only got the RPG? You'll want at least the Carl Gustav to take any type 2 (and above) boss down.

Yeah and my point is, it's not part of the main game or the story whereas in a game like MGS2 or 4 all the crazy shit is there in the main story.

i've got the gustav and i bring that too, but the rpg has more ammo

Damn, I think my loadout used to be two launchers and just a heavy MG. The CG fully upgraded should be able to take down most of them but most of the extra-ops boss battles were made for CO-OP.
[QUOTE=Falchion;37611528]Yes it actually does :v:
Theres even a world recordist for that.
Edit: Also if you play that mission in coop you can get saved before it gets hard.[/QUOTE]
If only I had XBOX Live (and friends who play Peace Walker) :v:
Also I know, but if I wanted to challenge my buttonmashing skills, I'd play a platformer or a bullet hell game.

Supply markers, dude. Pack two rocket launchers (my favourites are the RPG-2 and either that Stinger predecessor for fighting against flying enemies or the Carl Gustav for ground-based ones), discharge all your ammo, call in a supply box, rinse and repeat. Might lose a bit of heroism, but that's what non-lethal and the Fulton system are for.

Add me, i'd gladly play more PW, did with some other facepunchers before, lots of fun.

Would love to, but alas, I don't have Live Gold, and you have to pay out the ass to get it over here.
I'm up for some PW if you guys wanna play. I'm RocketHeadCrab on Xbox

If the craziest thing about your game is an AI that sings then it's not that wacky. I'm also 90% sure the AI sings because they wanted to include vocaloid software on the PSP version.
Something else to point out is that Monster Hunter island is a bonus section, not part of the story.
The singing AI was pretty darn scary in my opinion, especially the Chrysalis in that misty area.
dead man's treasure missions manage to be legitimately scary
especially the codec messages from 000.00 when they're too close
[QUOTE=Rusty100;37612339]Play MGS3, it's a whole lot goofier. It still has some of the weird shit obviously, like the bee man and the fear, but most of the game is a lot less wacky.
[editline]10th September 2012[/editline]
Dude 3 isn't goofier than 2.[/QUOTE]
i'm not saying that one is more or less goofier than the other, they all have a goofy element to them. but any amount of goofyness within the confines of a MGS title doesn't really bother me, because they're pulled off really well and don't really take me out of the story.

I've done every extra ops mission in single-player, and that includes [I]capturing[/I] every vehicle. It just requires a solid R&D team to research the upgraded weapons. If anybody struggles with the bosses and aren't available for co-op they should just take a break and work on their R&D team.

Admittedly I was lacking in R&D my first two times, the CG was the most powerful thing I had at that point and I know there's more just looking at the wikia. But honestly you would be sat there ages in the PW type-2 battle even with decent kit. I didn't mind fighting for a long time before but during type-2 fights it just gets ridiculous. It's not impossible just heavily time consuming.

Yeah, even with great equipment it takes a long time. I almost got an S rank on [sp]Peace Walker Custom[/sp] but I wasn't quick enough to make my way around it and attack the pod when it was down, so it regenerated several bars of health. I got an A but damn was I disappointed.

That's what got me every single time. I'm gonna start a new playthrough and hopefully unlock shit properly, one thing I found was towards the end I stopped caring about getting S ranks but I don't know why.

Any info on metal gear solid 5?
I saw something on gameinformer with raiden on it with metal gear solid 5 as a single page some time ago.
there is no metal gear solid 5 involving raiden

Ground Zeroes is a prologue to MGS5, but there's no word on what MGS5 will be. It's probably still just an idea anyway. The only upcoming Raiden game is Revengeance, and that's not a Metal Gear [I]Solid[/I] game.
Doesn't Raiden fucking [I]throw[/I] a Ray in Revengeance?
Raiden should throw himself off a cliff.
Sooo i'd love to get into this series, i feel like i've been neglecting it, where do I start? play the PS1 version or Twin Snakes?

He also uses a helicopter's missiles as stepping stones to reach it and then cuts it to pieces with his sword.

Don't bother with Twin Snakes it gets rid of a lot of the atmosphere and replaces most of the music. It also changes the voice for a really cool character.
I gotta admit Vulcan Raven so far for me has been the most ridiculous boss I've fought.
