To all MGS fans...

[Mr.Pandah]

Aries...so true... And what happened to your avatar of what I assumed was you?!?

I don't know. I like Metal Gear stories. Definitely in need of a lawnmower to remove the weeds that block the view (also because some people would get bored from so much dialogue, although I don't), but it really makes you think. Should be taken up by some universities in their philosophy classes, if you ask me.

Well, maybe not taken completely seriously, but still.

That wasn't me. I changed it. Check out the picture thread to see what I look like.

 

[Mr.Pandah]

Ya see, thats what happens when you have an avatar for so long...you start to become it. I for one, am in fact a panda.

I teared when I thought

Spoiler

Snake committed suicide, and Otacon started crying when he told Sunny that Snake "needs some time to rest." It really touched me, then I went holy shit when he didn't and Big Boss was alive etc...
Then I cried again when Big Boss died.

Hideo Kojima is quite insidious.

I understand where you're coming from on the amount of cutscenes. I found myself dozing in some of cutscenes during the game. HOWEVER! The ending scenes, I was at full attention. Those were the ones that I was actually paying attention to. I loved every second of it.

Also, the Old Snake song...that really draws on your heart strings.

Couldn't have said that last line better.

*nods to persianllama's comment* yup, I teared up at both those parts you mentioned.

I NEEED a bloody PS3!!!

I only got mine because of MGS4 and Disgaea 3, though there are a few other games I want now that I have it. (Mainly LBP).

So did my brother. It sits on the shelf gathering dust at the moment.

While MGS4 was the best MGS "game", I found the ending to MGS3 to be the most emotional. The showdown between The Boss and Naked Snake was awesome, probably my favorite boss battle ever.

Needless to say the most emotional part of the MGS4 ending was when


Big Boss showed up with Major Zero and died. I'd really developed a fondness for Big Boss in MGS3; probably more so than with Solid Snake.

 

[KTC]

I thought it was a good ending, it might even lead to a cameo from Snake in a future game if the new Metal Gear game rumours are to be believed.

It wasn't a definitive ending like i had hoped though.

 

[The Sorrow]

I teared up several times, both during the ending and at certain deaths. Hell, I STILL tear up when I hear "Father and Son".
Here's to you, Hideo Kojima.

 

[Mr.Pandah]

Cheers!

You mean in that you don't have sex?

No silly, I'm an actual panda sitting on the other side of this computer. 99% of my diet is bamboo and the other 1% is sex.

 

[Steelfox1]

i need a ps3, either that or they need to release on 360 too xD

 

[afrophysics]

How I feel about Snake compared to Big Boss is similiar to how Joey felt about Ursula compared to Phoebe in Friends. Snake is Snake, Big Boss is... Awesome!
I don't know why I feel more attached to Naked as a character than I do to Solid, I just do.

 

[Syphonz]

MGS3 Jokey? Have you played through the first chapter of MGS4?? that was almost all jokes! It got to the point where i put it down for awhile because i wanted the game to be serious and it kept making Johnny shitting refrences.

 

[TaboriHK]

Yeah, I have to say the incontinence humor must be a Japanese thing, because it carried across FOUR GAMES. WE GET IT, JOHNNY HAS THE RUNS. THIS IS NOT COMEDY.

 

[Rossmallo]

...Maybe they were trying to be consistent?

Actually it was three, Johnny didn't make any appearences in Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2, Portible Ops or MGS2.

my last post was sopposed to have a quote from somebody saying MGS3 was too jokey. which I guess is slightly true, but they were wide spread. MGS4 had them all compiled in one chapter and almost never joked again afterwards..which i appreciated.

EDIT: although i could really really do without the Meryl/Johnny discussing the marraige shooting FROGS cutscene. I swear that was done in a movie somewhere and it didn't look good there either.

Johnny appears in MGS2, just hold up your Direction Mic at the second silo-thing when Emma is behind it while walking across the pontoon bridge and you'll trigger a scene with him.

On topic: I teared up perpetually during MGS4, all of it made me break down. The return to Shadow Moses and "The Best Is Yet To Come", the final fight had me on the edge of my chair for the unequaled epicness and the real endings just had me sulking my shirt wet. And just like Snake in his present condition this game made me feel old because Light knows how long I've been a follower in the Console War.
