They got in better thematic/character development than I'd expected from the early stuff, even if the graphics and some of the dialogue hold it back, some of the soldier stuff was pretty cliched, but the over-the-top-ness went far enough to make it fun and a wild ride, so not too shabby!

Awriiiiight, here we go

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

I did play this all the way through about 5 or 6 times but I only watched the cutscenes once so this isn't as drilled into my head as the gameplay is

Episode 1 (00:00:00-00:23:25, the last line is in a cut-scene "The colonel will be joining you soon, Comrade)

Yeah, even among Metal Gear Solid fans, Twin Snakes feels off compared to the rest of the series, mostly because the director who made the games gave someone else the job to remake it

Question... is this the first time either of you have seen/played the MGS games? Cuz... for a long time this has been my favorite series of all time until Konami fucked it up.

It's my first time, byut not bomaye's. It's not a genre I'm into, hence the watching rather than playing.

Before this year I'd played all'em previously except IV and V, but Platinum'ed all of'em earlier in the year including IV and V

Fav = Peace Walker, then 2

And ye, careful about spoiling shit if you do want to talk about it

I'm not too fussed if I do get spoilers, anyway, I'm pretty sure the conversation where you convinced me to watch it started off with telling me a bunch of spoilers and then deciding it'd be easier to just make me watch it then explain all of it. Grin   They don't really stay in my head without context, so I'll probably still be surprised.

Ahhh gotcha. I hope you enjoy it, right now Dark Souls has usurped the title of “Mikeys Favorite Game”, MGS was the reigning champ for the better part of a decade and a half.

Oh man, what is it about Peace Walker that people like? I did not like that title at all. I played it with the HD remasters eons ago. Anyway I getcha, i won’t spoil anything. Smile

Depending on the thing, I’m the same way. A friend of mine spoiled GoT that way but I didn’t know much about it, so it didn’t spoil much for me.

I’ll admit that’s a hard one to spoil lol

It's mostly that I love bite-sized missions and base-building. Also the character cast was my favourite. I do recognize the weaknesses (way too many vehicle missions and there was no wacky enemy team)
