Feba, play ZOE2. It's the best mecha game of all time.

And jwalton, I understand the complaint, but it's nice for those of us who do have the equipment with which to enjoy uncompressed audio.

And Caspian whuuuut, you must finish MGS3. It's amazing.

I have no complaints about the very end of a game being cutscene heavy. When I put a lot of time into gameplay, the more time spent for a conclusion, the better. It's just a bonus that MGS2 happens to be one of my favourite games of all time, so I'm quite happy with it having lengthy cutscenes. That complaint was certainly addressed in MGS3, but early on Kojima said he couldn't make any promises about MGS4...which is understandable because it has a lot of loose ends to tie up. There's so many questions raised from MG1 and MG2, as well as MGS1-3 and Portable Ops that we haven't had answered...and Kojima's promised to make everything clear by the time the credits roll at the end of MGS4.

My main beef with MGS2 was the lack of Snake, and that they cut out the scene where the Twin Towers got nuked.

Yes, it was understandable since the game did come out just after 9/11 and would have been horribly insensitive to Americans, but you can hardly blame Kojima for the scene. I'd like them to remake MGS2 with the deleted footage put back in, because the sudden jump from the island thingy (I forget the name) to NYC made no god damn sense.

Oh and the ending to MGS3 was freaking epic. I expect no less from MGS4.

Pai pai, I'm trying to sell my PS2, so buying more games for it isn't a good idea. If it makes you feel better, you can hate me because I've only ever played demos of MGS games and never had any interest in actually buying/playing them. ZOE What now?

Yeah, I have a bad habit of playing a game until I die, turning it off and forgetting to play it again. So many games I've come close to beating then just randomly quit for no real reason.
With MGS3, I died fighting the sniper guy because I couldn't figure out where to run to to get near him. Turned it off and just forgot about it. FFXI took up way too much of my time. :/

I Thanked you because I knew that every Sony fanboy on this thread hates you even more now. How is that a good thing?

Because it's funny.

You can actually avoid fighting The End alltogether. After you get out of the cave after fighting The Pain and you have the cutscene with Volgin, The Boss, EVA, Ocelot and The End falling asleep, you can shoot him before he wakes up and he'll die that early in the game, and you'll never have to do the boss fight with him.

And damn you Feba. Damn you.

Yeah, I actually did it once just to see it, thats one hell of an explosion.
I think I actually booted it up a few days later, after fighting him. He died of old age. I wanted to do it and get the moss camo.
I may start it up again, soon. Guess I'll find out if MGS3 is one of the few games that works on the new PS3. I'm still pissed my original one was stolen. ><

I don't see why any Sony fanboy would hate Feba for that.

As a Sony fanboy I can honestly say Feba has all the right in the world not to like/don't play the PS2, and no one will get angry and want to go chase him down with torches.

What would cause that is console bashing, and he hasn't done any of that (yet ). Besides, not playing the MGS games is his loss not mine.

/em hugs his PS3.



PS > I really need to get ZOE 2 again. Miss playing that one, but the dubbing made me cringe every time a CS would play.

It really is his loss, given that PS2 is the best console to date (for the moment) and has a plethora of wonderful titles. I don't think I'll ever trade in any of my PS2 games, even the ones I don't play ^^ (Like Devil May Cry 2 > <; )

Re: Pai Pai's OFFICIAL Epic MGS4: GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS (Tactical Espionage Action) Th

I loved that you could just keep your game turned off long enough and The End would just die of old age. He's definitely one of the most unique bosses in recent game history. I cannot wait to see what Kojima does with the Beauty and the Beast Brigade. It could be mind-blowing.

Re: Pai Pai's OFFICIAL Epic MGS4: GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS (Tactical Espionage Action) Th

The whole game is going to be mind blowing (like the rest of the series)


Personally, I can't wait for the "WTF!?" moment after the credits.

Oh yeah, and the fight scene between Raiden and Vamp (how did that asshole live? Thought you killed him in MGS2.) was epic.

What? I love the PS2. I'm just moving on to Wii, and maybe eventually PS3. I'm planning on selling my old one-- having it hooked up and buying new games for it is not a good way to sell something. The PS2 has the strongest library in console history, not counting backwards compatibility.

That is one thing I enjoy about MGS-- even if I never play it-- from what I've heard the bosses are extremely creative. Psycho Mantis, especially, while somewhat silly, is definitely creative.

Re: Pai Pai's OFFICIAL Epic MGS4: GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS (Tactical Espionage Action) Th

If you're still buying games for it, keep it. There are still good games coming out for it.

And MGS3 has a few issues on 80GB PS3s but is still largely playable. With MGS: Essentials out this month, it's likely we'll see a firmware update with fixes for the game before it ships.

Re: Pai Pai's OFFICIAL Epic MGS4: GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS (Tactical Espionage Action) Th

I loved the Sniper Wolf fight. Vulcan Raven was neat too.

Shit, all the MGS boss fights have been epic (Except the rather lame fight between Solid and Liquid on top of REX)
