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

[QUOTE=Dick Slamfist;47211744]I don't understand why this is such a problem. She's a special ops soldier, it makes sense if she's bulky as shit it'd just look dumb if she was some tiny porpotioned anime girl[/QUOTE] I agree with this. The only problem I have with MGS4 is that Act 5 is so short. Outer Haven seems like a really great opportunity to get to do some MG, MG2, or MGS2 Tanker style base sneaking, but it's just one stage. Then a boss fight. Then a microwave. Then another (arguably one of the best boss fights ever) Boss fight. Outer Haven should have been more involved and it feels like a waste.

Meryl looks a lot better in her armor, girly clothes doesn't suit her

on the subject of MGS4 I think we can all agree Act 4 is designed to prove that you aren't above getting nostalgic and teary eyed over a video game and is a fucking amazing setpiece, truly made my sync with the character I felt like I'd aged, like the two of us had come a long way one spent his life saving the world countless times the other once ate 2 whole bags of chips in a day and has yet to surpass this record

[QUOTE=LTJGPliskin;47211900]Even if that doesn't happen, there's still Metal Gear Online, so it's like a win-win scenario.[/QUOTE] well since all the weapons and scripting would already be there, people might be able to mod it so you can play as him in singleplayer. though with the Mother Base infiltration i'm not certain how modding is gonna work. who knows, maybe you can already play as different characters when you're infiltrating a base

I mean, I get that being trained and built is perfectly reasonable, but I think whoever did the wedding model over-did it, her biceps are practically as big as her [i]tiny head[/i]. Maybe the rest of the game hid it well with the gear she wore, I dunno.

[QUOTE=Egevened;47211276]I think so, yeah. the guy who co-wrote mgs2 left by the time mgs3 rolled around (the guy who wrote most of the stuff on the patriots) which is why mgs4 sometimes is forced but the characters are mostly kojima[/QUOTE] Well, seeing how much of a clusterfuck MGS2's story is, and how much worse MGS4 ends up being when trying to justify its plotholes; yeah, maybe it's for the better that co-writer left. (I know time constraints also affected MGS2, but still)

I mean it's not innaccurate, BB is homeless he's not above eating disgusting shit he probably spends months without showering

It's simply not fun to sneak through the Geckos and the level design in general is kinda meh.

Why do people hate the stealth section in Act 3 so much? (I know we're talking about 4 but still). That was one of the best parts of MGS4 IMO. [sp]if you don't remember what it is, it's the whistling man stalking part[/sp]

Plus it's just fun to mess with the guards in that level too.

[QUOTE=elowin;47217772]sitting around waiting for some guy to walk somewhere simulator[/QUOTE] You shouldn't play Metal Gear/stealth games if you don't like waiting. Also it was the most tense part of the game. When an APC came by I jumped and dropped my controller, and frantically tried to pick it up again and dashed away from the APC. My heart was going ultra fast for a whole minute.

I just have a great dislike of tailing missions in general, and act 3 was basically one big tailing mission.

[QUOTE=TalonAran;47218113]I just have a great dislike of tailing missions in general, and act 3 was basically one big tailing mission.[/QUOTE] A tailing mission, an on-rails shooter and pretty much the worst boss fight of the series. If it wasn't a good movie I'd say fuck Act 3 entirely.

Also trench coat is a redeeming factor

[QUOTE=Coughee79;47218634]Also trench coat is a redeeming factor[/QUOTE] you dont get to keep it though so fuck it

I liked act 3 more then tailing missions in other games, because loosing the guy does not mean instant fail & reload, if you fuck up you have to carry on and locate the guy again/rescue him from the PMC's for some reason I found it more challenging this way, although some people will surely say that it only made it more annoying also the town is a pretty big area by MGS standards, I think it's the biggest location in MGS4 that you can roam around [sp]and also it takes place in my country so I'm a bit biased[/sp]
