What was really *ahem* awesome about Vamp was how he kept licking his knives every ten seconds and it never got old or looked stupid, ever. Expecially not after (if not during) the very first time.

Leaving all the 12 year olds playing the game saying "Why does that dude keep licking his knives?"
Really?

Note, the above is not sarcasm. I mean that. Really?

I figured the "knife licking" thing was so the twelve year olds would think he was cool and a badass, because I know those of us who were a bit older thought it looked stupid. If not for the twelve year olds, who was the knife licking thing for?

Obviously for fan service. Hetero girls and homo boys eat that knife licking up.

That was the greatest moment in MGS2.

Plisken:"He even drinks the blood of the people he kills
Raiden: "So that's why they call him Vamp?
Plisken: "What? NO! They call him that because he's bisexual...
Raiden:"Ahhhh...."

Almost as good as the box conversation from MGS3...

idunno about you guys, but the best moment in mgs lines for me was the first ever documented F-Bomb, said by Laughing Octopus. it was wierd that it took them 20 years to use one.

No the best line was.

Psycho Mantis: "No Snake! You're supposed to hit her!"
Snake: "Damn right I'm gonna hit that!"

I know, when I heard one of the characters in the game say "fuck" for the first time....it felt weird. Like they treaded unholy ground.

Also, If anyone hasn't seen it yet, there's an awesome MGS4 collab on Newgrounds:

Some of them are stupid penis jokes, but alot of them are really funny IMHO.

I thought the article was funny and well written. I also thought it was good example of picking the easiest target to attack; a bit like the big pulsating pustules on a Resident Evil boss.

To be fair, the article did set itself up as a critique of the story and not the whole game, but that's a bit like; "I'm not saying I dislike wrestling, but why does it have to look so choreographed?" If the thing you want to change is changed, it wouldn't be the same product any more.

I personally hate Japanese storytelling, they either hammer the point into your head with a mallet (MGS), or they just go batshit crazy (Silent Hill), but a big part of the reason fans play these games is for that exact reason. It's a style that appeals to them.

As style is a matter of taste, and as such, is subjective, having an argument about it is akin to a group of monkeys throwing their faeces. It looks funny but eventually whatever you had to begin with is lost under a pile of shit.

Oh, wait a minute, I'm in a gaming forum. Sorry, my bad.
