Metal Gear Solid - Tactical Megathread Action VII. Could Plisken actually be Snake? - Games

[QUOTE=G-Strogg;40503367]You're aware I'm playing MGS and that the amounts of suspension you need is massive, but there's really no reason to put a magazine on a gunsword that doesnt fire anything. I'd rather accept "cosmetics".[/QUOTE] *Ahem*.... [video=youtube;XJvOxFhVNbQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJvOxFhVNbQ[/video] I am fully aware of the thumbnail that has been magnified. Enjoy.

[QUOTE=Hakita;40505144]The last boss of Rising was basically just Platinum doing their thing instead of actually making Metal Gear.[/QUOTE] It was rather fun though, at least give them that. Besides, it was never a 'Solid' Metal Gear. The entire game was platinum doing their thing, if a bit more...sensible, in comparison.

I'd imagine thats what the magazine is for.

[QUOTE=AaronM202;40505376]I'd imagine the gun has to fire SOMETHING to rocket off the sword. Probably it ignites gas and causes a small explosion. I'd imagine thats what the magazine is for.[/QUOTE] This also makes sense. At least to me.

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;40498741]The names of the winds are usually specific to the country of origin. I.E. Mistral is a cold wind in a France (Mistral is half French), Khamsin is a hot, dusty wind in north Africa/Arabian Peninsula (we can assume Khamsin will be Arabic of some kind?), Monsoon is a reverse wind that brings in long periods of rain (Monsoon is Cambodian), Sundowner is a wind condition in California (Sundowner is from Alabama but I assume they were just looking for a name of a wind) and then there's Jetstream Sam but he technically isn't part of the Winds of Destruction[/QUOTE] Jetstream Sam was called Minuano, the cool brazilian wind by Monsoon, I'm assuming thats what his codename would have been if he became a member of the winds.

I like how there's discussion on the logic of a gun that shoots swords.

[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;40505999]I like how there's discussion on the logic of a gun that shoots swords.[/QUOTE] To be fair the concept of the gun sword in MGR is more logical than most gun swords. Its simply a sheath with a modified carbine rifle put on to fire the sword out at high speeds for quick draws.

[QUOTE=AaronM202;40505376]I'd imagine the gun has to fire SOMETHING to rocket off the sword. Probably it ignites gas and causes a small explosion. I'd imagine thats what the magazine is for.[/QUOTE] Could you imagine actually having to reload a sword.

[QUOTE=G-Strogg;40506067]Could you imagine actually having to reload a sword.[/QUOTE] Well he does carry around some green pouches. [editline]2nd May 2013[/editline] [img]http://thehergula.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Screen-13.png[/img] Clear as day on his hips. [editline]2nd May 2013[/editline] Also, you dont reload the sword, you reload the sheath.

Frigs sake, you got my interest piqued. Probably the 'consumable' items in Rising, that gel stuff.

[QUOTE=G-Strogg;40506173]How is that effective at all.[/QUOTE] Its used to add speed to his strongest blow. He used it to cut Armstrong's arm off before it could be armored.

[QUOTE=G-Strogg;40506173]How is that effective at all.[/QUOTE] Well, look at his sword. Its a katana, yes? If I remember right, the katana was designed to have fluidity in mind, ie, being able to have a slash at the enemy as it was drawn. The sheath for Sam's murasama blade is more than likely customised in that particular regard.

[QUOTE=G-Strogg;40506173]How is that effective at all.[/QUOTE] why does it need to be this is a game where a roided out dick cheny covers himself in nanomachines and punts cyborg ninjas like footballs

[QUOTE=G-Strogg;40506173]How is that effective at all.[/QUOTE] In a world filled with cyborg ninjas with super strength and reflexes, [sp] and only being a mere regular human in a muscle suit[/sp] how WOULDNT it be beneficial to have some sort of speed advantage? He'll, he managed to do it to [sp]Armstrong[/sp] and Raiden.

WAY TO DROP THE BALL PLATINUM

Looks like Hayter might have an interview or something going on at IGN. [t]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BJSVpp-CUAAxFBH.jpg:large[/t]

[QUOTE=kanesenpai~;40506582]why does it need to be this is a game where a roided out dick cheny covers himself in nanomachines and punts cyborg ninjas like footballs[/QUOTE] I think you may have confused the word "effective" with "realistic" somehow.

He doesn't quite have the muscle for it. Just superimpose his head onto Van Damme's body from Bloodsport.

So apparently the legacy collection is PS3 only? well that crushes my dreams of being able to finally get my hands on those MGS4 models yet again :(.

Got Peace Walker in the sale a couple days ago, started playing it since I just finished MGS3 again... Slamming people into walls is so satisfying :v:

from my time playing MGS1 I have deduced that this jingle is the best fucking thing ever [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5DCrVmLvfo[/media]

[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;40531724]from my time playing MGS1 I have deduced that this jingle is the best fucking thing ever[/QUOTE] It has been my ringtone ever since I first got a cellphone.

2:18 [video=youtube;U4WHoP8cr30]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4WHoP8cr30&feature=youtu.be&t=2m18s[/video] One of my friends told me this actually happens in the game, I had to check and be sure.

ohh boy hooked up ps3, got controller, go to fetch HD collection and fuck everything it's NO WHERE in this god damned house. Fuck life.
