I like the story. You start to understand what's going on on only the 5th or 6th playthrough in most MGS titles!
The best story was the one in MGS: Sons of Liberty though.

So Indigo Dingo's finally been banned? Eh, feels different than I thought it would be.

Anyway, I liked MGS2, and have hopes for Rising.
Rising seems to going on a total different path of the MGS franchise.

Lightning Bolt Action they call. Theres nothing stealthy about lightning or bolts. Unless they mean he kills fast as lightning, if so they shoudl call it Lighting Stealth action...Actually that sounds horrible.
Now Peace Walker on the other hand, seems to be cooler, considering its going to bring closure to Big Boss arc. Going to have to leech someones PSP again...

I think I read something that said it would still be tactical espionage. I think.

The series' former tagline, "Tactical Espionage Action", has been replaced by "Lightning Bolt Action", to fit the new protagonist, Raiden; the word Raiden is Japanese for "Thunder and Lightning".

From the ever correct wikipedia. Too bored to look for real sources.

On the picture it says Lightning Bolt Action.

I understand it when used in context with the newer games, and knowing the things that are changed in translation from Japanese. I understand it quite well, really.

Well I know that much... I just could have sworn I read somewhere that sneaking would still be involved.

Maybe I hallucinated / dreamed it. :sigh:

Why the hostility on La-Le-Lu-Li-Lo? Shes cool.

Also, why put "P.P.S. la-li-lu-le-lo or whatever, you don't have to give your opinion. It's already obvious. But you can if you want to."? It cancels itself out at the end... it doesnt give us any new information, it just seems like an attack on "La-Le" and then saying "but you can if you want to" makes me think you wanted to get away with it scott-free. You should just get rid of it, it only cancels itself out.

Naughty Taco Cat, naughty.

It's good, but they spend way too much time to explain something simple like "You have to go in there and kill some shit to get blood for raiden" taking 3 hours

As the president of the Metal Gear Solid Fanboy Club: Snakes of America, I feel it is my duty to inform you that I am a huge fan of the Metal Gear saga. That is all. Thank you.

I don't care what anyone says, I love the Metal Gear Solid series's story. It may be convoluted, confusing at times, badly implemented, but we practically expect it from the games nowadays.
its awfully implemented but the characters and the backstories are rock solid.

I actually set myself the task of explaining to my Aunt the MGS storyline, she thought it was bat shit insane storyline, but she loved the concept of some of the characters, I think that pretty much sums it up, to an outsider that has never played a game let alone an MGS game thats how they feel about it.

Solid characters.

Love it. Every game, minus some parts of MGS2. I hated Rose more than Raiden. >_>

Storylines...
Eh, MGS2 I actually understood some parts more so than MGS4. So, Raiden's life was a fake. Easy.
MGS4. Lolwut? Had to play through it a few more times to understand. But, I'm still confused how Raiden could hold a ship back from crushing Old Snake... but, I'm sure the answer involved a long codec call lesson on nanomachines.

I loved the game, but some parts I found were unnecessary, like the Naomi x Hal thing.
I liked how they explained how Vamp kept coming back (because of my confusion in MGS2.)

I also liked how Akiba was in every single MGS (not counting MGS3 since that's just a relative.) :)

But my fanboyism for the series is spewing out. I'll end my post here and move along...
