Some of my favorite graphics on this one. Like all the
little details. Beat this one on normal difficulty. Couldn't
get past the first boss on extreme though. Had a version
that featured a no kill mode where all the enemies had to be
stunned. Wonder if anyone beat the game on extreme and no
kill? My first visit to Tokyo happened to coincide with the
release of solid 3. Saw some amazing launch merchandise in
Akihabara.

i loved the tanker thing, but the oil platform kinda put me
off a little, dunno yes it had a lot of cool little things
but also wasn't gritty enough...? nothing can beat mgs1.

Kid napping the president in order to gain an unlock code
for a metal gear isn't so ridiculous. The parts about
revolver ocelot needing body parts from other people was a
bit odd though.

"The parts about

And when it came time to explain this stupid plot point in
MGS4... well I still don't know what the fuck happened.

MGS2 is by far the worst in the series, but it's still
incredibly memorable and creative, I replay it often. But
it's hard to sit through all the cutscenes, the game is so
poorly paced compared to MGS1 and 3.

"nothing can beat mgs1."

agreed. The story of MGS4 was the worst of the series, in my
opinion. Never played 3.

MGS4 story made no sense whatsoever to me, considering the
amount of time and effort into cutscenes in those games its
unforgivable.

On the other hand the art direction is probably the best I
have seen in a game, the futuristic adverts at the
beginning, never seen that before in a game.

MGS4 has some great action cutscenes and a few interesting
conversations, but they needed to hire an editor. Maybe
something is lost in translation, I know the Japanese tend
to be more... verbose in things like this, but they would
spend way too much explaining things, and then often
explaining them again. Not to mention MGS4 had to clean up
MGS2's mess. And they failed, of course.

MGS3 is the best in the series and the best game ever. Being
sort of self-contained and set in a different period
protected it from having to explain MGS2's bullshit. It just
told a really fun action potboiler with a perfect amount of
weirdness, humor and melodrama. Kojima's eccentric
brilliance at its most pure.

Anyone with a PSP should play the Peace Walker demos, it's
basically a straight-up MGS3 sequel, the game will be
fucking amazing.
