has a sad, unfortunate story behind it. you see, hideo kojima, the man responsible for the series, the producer, developer, and brains behind the metal gear solid series, is no longer doing the metal gear series. this sucks because metal gear solid 2 had a really open ending. with hideo kojima no longer doing metal gear solid, this means that metal gear solid 3 may never come out to tie up the loose ends left in mgs2, or a mgs3 might suck. who knows.

That sucks... all I've been thinking about and playing lately are Metal Gear games... I lost the first disc of my PS1 Metal Gear, I'm on the verge of tears. I'm on my second playthrough of MGS2.
As for Hideo leaving, that's not too bad... I always wished he'd leave his pretentious preachy ideas out of the games, and ditch the melodramatics... just let me sneak around and kill people. Great story, generally, but some of it is too over the top. There's so many holes in the MGS2 story, and not the good, loose end holes... just stupid things that aren't explained, and are a little ridiculous.

mgs1 completely blew away the second game in my opinion. i love the story bits. have you been collecting dogtags in mgs2, ophecks?

Yeah, I'm thinking MGS1 was better, too... but I don't have the first disc!
I haven't been collecting dog tags at all... I think I have about 3... but after I beat it once more, I'll probably waste my time trying to get all the dogtags and cheats.

The original is my favorite game of all time, the story was so indepth and captivating I just couldn't put the controller down till it was over. Unlike some of my friends, I loved the cinematic sequences, almost as much as the gaming experience itself.
Anyone remember the Metal Gear game for original Nintendo?

Fuck, I wanna play it again now, which is pointless because now my fuckin game freezes up right at the end of the first disc, after beating the cyborg ninja!
The best way to play is hard or extreme mode, without any extras. It makes it so much more tactical and realistic, because the map is no longer there, and you'll get killed in like two or three hits, as you would in real life.

I hate the camera view in the original... you can't see two fucking feet ahead of you, it used to drive me insane. And swithing to first person view every two steps, so you don't run into an ambush, was not fun... MGS2 improved that a bit, I don't find it as annoying.
I'm gonna start MGS2 on the hardest setting tomorrow, I can't wait.

And not being able to use your guns in first person view in MGS1...
FUCK THAT!
Syphon Filter is my favorite Playstation series, slightly ahead of MGS.

Syphon Filter 1 was very good, but the second was absolute horse shit. Havn't played the third yet, any good?

Yeah, the second has better gameplay, camera views, graphics, ect. But I still like the first one better for some reason, it had a more interesting story I thought.

syphon filter was a fun game. i like the fact that the 3rd game kind of just appeared one day without anyone hardly knowing about it.

the remake on gamecube should be out in a couple of months. i used to own it on playstation, bought it again when i had dreamcast so i could play it on bleemcast and now i'm gonna buy it again for gamecube. i hope they add something in though, like dog tags because i've replayed the poo out of this game.
i just watched the mgs3 trailer. looks lovely. a nice change from the usual settings.

the vr mission disc for the first one was the sheeat, i managed to get first place on every mission, but i still can't get big boss ranking on mgs1, not that i've actually tried to yet.
anyone know if big boss rank gets you anything special on vr missions?
