Metal Gear Solid - Tactical Megathread Action VIII - We Are Diamond Dogs! - Games

[QUOTE=Alan Ninja!;47072153]Don't forget that he's also never seen any movie ever and thought that eating a glowing mushroom would recharge his batteries. Plus there's always this gem: [video=youtube;POp7EGAs9tk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POp7EGAs9tk[/video][/QUOTE] Ok, now I want to see a MGS holiday special where Big Boss, Kaz, and Huey have an adventure to the North Pole to find out if Santa is real or not: They get to the North Pole and to the surprise of Huey and Kaz, they find Santa and his factory. Boss will get real chummy with Santa, they compare Mother Base and staff sizes and procedures, while Kaz starts eye'n all the female elfs. Huey becomes fascinated with the technology of the factory and will get a special tour straight from the lead toy maker elf. Then, right before they all decide they've had enough, Santa comes down with an awful cold and requests that Big Boss deliver the presents this year. He tells him, "This will be a one man infiltration mission. Stay out of sight. There are a lot of good little boys and girls waiting on their presents this year. Kaz will back you up by radio, and Huey can make modifications to the sleigh to arm it with nukes." Big Boss puts on the his sneaking coat and hat and with the wave of his arm and a grunt, the reindeer take him off into the night sky. He lights up his cigar to illuminate the sky, cutting through the blizzard in their path. As Boss flies through the sky he starts to hear a strange ticking and beeping noise coming from deep within Santa's toy sack. "It's rigged! Damn it we were set up!" Quickly, Boss chucks the entire bag of toys off the side of the sleigh but before it can clear the blast radius, the bomb explodes and causes a crash landing into the snow below. Kaz chimes in, "Boss! The delivery was nothing but a smoke-screen. Santa played us like a damn fiddle!" "Santa?" Boss responds, "That would explain everything." and tackles a nearby Christmas tree.

[QUOTE=Jojje;47073769]You can leave out MG1 and MG2 if you like. Otherwise here's the 'main' series, you should play in this order. Metal Gear Solid Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (Optional, kind of retconned, kind of not) Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Side-story, not integral for MGSV but still a blast to play) Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain[/QUOTE] I would absolutely leave out PO-OPS. It's PSP exclusive, wasn't re-released on the Legacy collection like PW was, and is largely ignored by the canon.

[QUOTE=Str4fe;47073754]So, MG>MG2>MGS1>MGS2 etc? Or leave out the MG1&2?[/QUOTE] You can definitely skip MG1&2 though I'd still recommend at least giving them a chance, especially if you like old retro games.

[QUOTE=Dick Slamfist;47075132]I would absolutely leave out PO-OPS. It's PSP exclusive, wasn't re-released on the Legacy collection like PW was, and is largely ignored by the canon.[/QUOTE] it was also not very good

[QUOTE=Dick Slamfist;47075132]I would absolutely leave out PO-OPS. It's PSP exclusive, wasn't re-released on the Legacy collection like PW was, and is largely ignored by the canon.[/QUOTE] But it did set up [sp]the founding of the Patriots at the very end,[/sp] which makes the plot revelation in MGS4 not [i]as[/i] left-field.

I got MGS 2 on PC, but. Most of the text is in russian.

Is the 3ds port of snake eater good or bad?

[QUOTE=Snakebot;47076115]I got MGS 2 on PC, but. Most of the text is in russian.[/QUOTE] Then you got a russian version somehow.

[QUOTE=Purple Gecko;47076149]Is the 3ds port of snake eater good or bad?[/QUOTE] If you have the circle pad pro it's [I]okay[/I]. But performance wise, it's pretty bad. Sub 20 fps most of time and can even get to single digits during certain fights. There's a demo you can try to see if it's worth it or not.

If Snake Eater 3D's framerate was better, then it would be the definitive version of the game. If we ever get a PC port of 3, it better add in some of the features from Snake Eater 3D.

I just figured since it has better specs and all.

[QUOTE=Snakebot;47076115]I got MGS 2 on PC, but. Most of the text is in russian.[/QUOTE] what a funny coincidence, since I hear almost all the pirate versions floating around are in russian

[QUOTE=riku2211;47076378]What about on the New 3DS? Has anyone tried it with that? Or does that not help framerate issues?

[QUOTE=riku2211;47076378]What about on the New 3DS? Has anyone tried it with that? Or does that not help framerate issues? I just figured since it has better specs and all.[/QUOTE] All it does is load a little faster. The game would need a patch to actually fix framerate issues, but since it was a very early 3DS title, i'm not surprised Konami's abandoned it like so many of their ports in recent years post-release.

Ok, this Metal Gear fight has made up for any issue I took up with act 3.

That reminds me, what was the deal with this? [IMG]http://media.officialplaystationmagazine.co.uk/files/2012/02/metal-gear-solid-4-outer-haven.jpg[/IMG] I feel like I should hate it because it's so stupid, but at the same time I don't see what was the point of it.

Is it weird if i kind of prefer how Raiden looks in MGS4 compared to Rising? Not that i dislike his Rising look, but something about his MGS4 look just looks better to me, iunno.

OK, I'm actually really liking Act 5. Screaning Mantis's Boss Battle was cool (and the Codec call wheb I tried doing the second controller thing again was hilarious. So was in Act 4 when Otacon said I needed to switch disks).

Since he's playing through MGS4 someone should post the B&B parody with the gorilla. I can't find it unfortunately.

[QUOTE=Bioking;47077346]the thing that bothers me the most about mgr raiden is his face, it looks totally different [img_thumb] http://i.imgur.com/YC7YvbR.jpg [/img_thumb] its like he took meth[/QUOTE] I agree but at the same time it has more color and looks sort of healthier? Which would make sense considering [sp]Raiden is in a much better place in life after MGS4 with his family and all[/sp]. I really think it's just the way the metal around his cheeks makes it look.

Holy shit, that final battle man, that was good.

It gets worse from there
