It's really awesome that DD will be our canine buddy in TPP, but I hope we can get other dog buddies too. I really like this idea of having a Rhodesian Ridgeback coming along side Snake on his missions.

Seriously, these dogs are [I]bad [/I]to the [I]ass[/I].

I don't know, I feel like you shouldn't be able to have both DD and a Rhodesian at the same time unless their abilities are vastly different. Same reason I don't want another Sniper; I'm happy with the insane variation we have at the moment.

Instead of fultoning them away you could have animals pulling them away to a ship. That would be awesome :v:
If we're in Africa, I want to capture a gorilla and use it as a mini-boss to protect my base
I'm gonna name mine Valhalla, and my fultons are my Valkyries.

Bought The Twin Snakes just to add it to my collection. Went with japanese version instead of NTSC/PAL since it was cheaper.

I've been wanting to do this for a while. There's about 3 local game stores around my house each selling it for about 50-60CDN. Never bit the bullet on it since I can't justify buying something that expensive just to have.
Although Metal Gear Risk. I have that.

Also the cover art is much better than NTSC's
That game store I went to didn't have the Twin Snakes, but a hell of a lot of other MGS stuff.
[QUOTE=bdd458;47288454]That game store I went to didn't have the Twin Snakes, but a hell of a lot of other MGS stuff.[/QUOTE]
did it have MGS4 Risk
that's the only thing that matters

Of course it is. Why Konami America decides to use shitty CG renders for cover art is beyond me.

I don't like RISK. But I [I]DO [/I] like Metal Gear Solid. Hence, this.
[sp]before too many people berate me for that this was actually a gift.[/sp]

I, too, own MGS Risk. I bought it at a convention because there was no way I was passing it up.
MGS Risk is too much of a dumb concept to not buy it when the opportunity arises.
It is kind of really lame. The miniatures are all super crappy looking and are all just "GENERIC PMC" who is my favorite MGS character. There's no special pieces for Snake or Ocelot or anything.

But the box? It's a nice image of Old Snake to have always watching you.
Always.
When you're undressing, or sleeping... he's always there.

It honestly just seems to be an American thing in general. Never understood it.
[QUOTE=Fosax;47284837]It's honestly extremely heartwarming to see MGS bring someone's will to game back to life
Proof that there's something really special in these games[/QUOTE]
yeah, it really hit me when I was fighting Revolver Ocelot that I fucking love video games and that dying isn't a barrier to me playing, its only for me to get better and play smarter.
[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;47290161]Same reason they took out Miller from the Ground Zeroes boxart. It's done with tons of Japanese games in general.
They think it appeals to "western audiences" more for some fucking dumb reason. Like that alone would attract more customers. And it is normally specific to the US.
Like I wish somebody could directly tell them that they're all completely wrong and to stop making dumb assumptions about stuff they don't know about. The US specific art produced is often all shit anyways.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, like look at this.

From left to right, there's the Japanese, American, and European box art. The American art doesn't even look appealing. Like, why is Snake's face in the fucking tree?
MGS2 had different covers, but the US still got Shinkawa art.
[IMG]http://www.theicecave.org/damage_control/multimedia/mgs2covers_082410.jpg[/IMG]
And that kind of makes sense, since Raiden was kind of meant to be kept hidden, and in the Japanese version he's in front of Snake's face.

I actually really fucking like the US Snake Eater cover, maybe even more than the Shinkawa one. Although I think the JP one does make more sense considering how the plot of the game revolves around the relationship between The Boss and Snake, so having her on the cover is a good idea.

It's not bad by itself, but compared to the international box art, it just doesn't look that great.
Finally beat MGS1! I got use to controls extremely fast, and the story was great! I had my friend who was a big Metal Gear fan help me look for stuff I might of missed on my own. It's been a while since I got emotional over a game, I actually got shivers when [sp] Snake killed Sniper Wolf [/sp] My end rank was Capibara, which I don't really mind, I can already feel myself getting the itch to play it again and soak up everything I missed, which is something not many games make me do. I already started MGS2 and completed the Tanker incident, getting use to the controls fast but I keep confusing the action buttons. Can't wait to see what's in store for me, my friend said I'm going to get mindfucked a lot.
I didn't feel anything when [sp]Snake killed Sniper Wolf.[/sp] I just thought of Riley Freeman saying "Quit cryin' bitch!"

That's Snake in a tree? I thought it was the villain or someone.

I didn't realise how well they hid Raiden until I got an original copy of the game, the entire box and manual makes no mention of him at all.
He is actually there though, just behind the manuals where no-one will see him

I think Raiden is in the US manual as a silhouette in the controls section, where it explains how to do some of the in-game actions (like holding Emma's hand). Other than that, he's nowhere to be seen on the box or in the manual.
Made some art. Still a WIP.
