arcoathena Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Let us talk about the beauty that is Metal Gear Solid... I can't BELIEVE there aren't any topics of this! (unless I am blind. I did get soap in my eye earlier so pls tell me if there is already a forum about MGS) So this is a place where you can talk about anything and everything that is Metal Gear! Which is your favorite game? Your favorite character? Any theories you wanna share? Favorite MGS song? What did you think about Phantom Pain and Venom Snake? Who's your favorite partner in MGSV? Those are just some ideas, but you can come up with something if you want! I love MGS a lot, and I think the entire series is a masterpiece. It's got the perfect mix of story, comedy, action, and the gameplay is so fun for me. The music is absolutely amazing, and I love the variety of characters (Quiet, Raiden) I've even got a giant wall scroll of Raiden for anyone that wants to see! cmon, share share share! Do it for naked Raiden! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lits Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I remember going over to my cousins house one day in the 90s, and I was introduced to MGS there (He had the best and coolest and nowadays the most iconic games of the time at his house so i'm a fan of many series due to him). he was playing MGS1 and was fighting sniper wolf, I was captivated by how good this game looked for the time. sadly, I never got to play MGS2 nor MGS4. I did however rent and beat snake eater, was really fun when it came to boss battles. you reminded me to go buy MGR:R for 3 bucks cause I always did like hack n slash games.

The battle with Sniper Wolf <3 MGS1 really was a great game. MGS2 is a continuation of it (and really good as well since it introduces Raiden, the main character in Rising) but MGS3 is all about Big Boss, so you didn't miss out on anything. Metal Gear Rising is different from the other MGS games, but it's soooo good too, the gameplay is super fun (hack n slash ofc) and some of the moments are ridiculously funny XD They also go into deep stuff, which I always love. I think you'll like MGR. But duuude you also gotta play MGS4, Peace Walker, and MGSV if you liked Big Boss and MGS3. It explains everything and even forms a full circle and goes into the events of MGS1. It just all connects and !#@$^%!!!!! I'm sorry, I get too excited about this series.

Lits Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Yeah I understand, how I am with Resident Evil. But the traditional MGS play style isn't for me, but I HAVE watched playthroughs of MGS5 and 4. but I will play metal gear rising just due to it being hack n slash and I need a new hack n slash character to like since I don't have dante anymore. also NANOMACHINES SON! (another reason why imma get it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lits Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I use a YGO program, and my dueling music is It has to be this way. the song is just too good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcoathena Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) I have to listen to that song at least once a day. Like I said, it goes deep, and the music and the lyrics all reflect the character's ideals. "Standing here, I realize You are just like me trying to make history But who's to judge the right from wrong When our guard is down I think we'll both agree Violence breeds violence But in the end it has to be this way" I don't know if you know when that song plays, so I'm gonna shut up so that I don't spoil anything shit I gotta listen to it now omfgI FORGOT TO MENTION the music is so cool in this game. It's like metal and electronic and just fits it so perfectly.I bought the entire soundtrack album, it's just too good.

Lits Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 There are 3 things that make a game outstanding 1: gameplay 2: story and characters 3:badass soundtrack Rising seems to have all 3 (3rd is most important to me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcoathena Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 DEFINITELY it has all 3 -Gameplay is super fun and intense-Story goes deep and I swear to god you're going to shit yourself when the senator says a certain something (especially if you live in the U.S.)-you already listened to that one and imo it isn't even the best one out of all of 'em.For me the most important thing is the plot, but that's just me. If it's got a boring plot I probably won't play it (and all the MGS games have amazing plot which is why I'm so in love with it)I really really really hope there will be a Rising 2 (and there is hinting towards it) but I don't know how it'd work with Konami being shit and Kojima leaving...

5hift Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) I sure do like me some MGS but Konami is really giving the series and its creators a bad rep after the whole firing Kojima fiasco. Really wished they'd finish the game with the epic story tie-off they promised. Nevertheless, really enjoyed MGS-V and Peace Walker for the PS3. I honestly think the best thing to come out of MGS-V would be the trailers. Holy. Shit. These trailers are amazing. https://youtu.be/9_8Qi-I4o9E https://youtu.be/A9JV0EvCkMI https://youtu.be/Z4F1K4eHCH8 https://youtu.be/K6WgLOjKxmI These trailers are definitely what sold the game to me, the gameplay of course was also a huge factor on me pre-ordering but GOD DAMN these trailers.

The trailers are all masterpieces, and really got me hyped. I'm so mad at Konami for that. I feel like the series is incomplete now, because they didn't let Kojima truly finish MGSV. It was supposed to bring everything full circle, and explain Big Boss better, and ugh. I judt feel like the game could have been so much better (not that it wasn't amazing already) if they had just let Kojima do what he want.

5hift Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) Can we also just take a moment and say: RIP Paz. Like honestly, after listening to those tapes in Ground Zeros following the horrible torture Paz and Chico endured in Camp Omega I knew this series was getting into some dark shit with the story.
