I'm going to be unemployed starting July 8th and once I finish moving all my crap I'm going to have a month of unemployment and I'm going to play all the metal gear solids and extrapolate personal meaning onto my current situation and deepen my prodromal fascination with the series,

you can just have the water pistol or w/e equipped until you find something. MGSV is on the level of 3 for me, and I've gotten FOXHOUND/Big Boss ranks in every game.

When you think about the intelligence of a genius like Hideo Kojima to even make the original Metal Gear, a game of stealth, when no one else was doing this. Then in 1998 create a story so far ahead of its time, we are talking visionary level poo poo here, to predict nanomachines, the rise of PMCs and the state of the war economy, drones, censorship of data, the concept of the Patriots being drawn from reality, then tying it all together in 4 games [5 with peace walker] and then getting to V and having amazing gameplay, yes, but seeing his vision ultimately compromised due to Stupid Nip Company you realize why 5 is the most disappointing, despite still being above and beyond most other games from mere gameplay alone.

Peopl love to give him credit for predicting things that already existed in theory or form when he wrote the game

Having not beaten V yet and having only beaten the other games once, my current ranking is:

5>3>4>2>1

This may change when I play all of them again after I beat 5

Colonel: Rights of criminals are given more respect than the privacy of their victims.

Rose: Vcasuals would probably poo poo their diapeys and ragequit if they tried to play the old games because they cant airlift in unlimited tanks weapons ammo and dont have easymode buddies/gadgets and cant watch the cutscenes because their ADD is so bad from eating GMOs and corn sugar they cant sit still for longer than 5 minutes at a loving time.

Colonel: not mad tho, actually loving laughing at how stupid all the casuals are.

Honestly I miss the long cutscenes and codec calls but what I got in return was a light year jump ahead in terms of game mechanics

Evil Eagle

There are a ton of tapes to take the codec's place though.

In Training
Jun 28, 2008

There are as many cutscenes in V as there are in 2/3 but there's also 50x more gameplay so it's not as noticeable when they don't crop up every 20 to 30 minutes

Evil Eagle

Also, 4's codec is pathetic. Otacon and Rose? That's it, really? At least have Drebin 893 tell Snake about the billions of guns in that game.

the bnb codecs should have occurred before their fights so you could invest some interest in the characters.

It's funnier that it happens after. Also I think Drebin is whole cloth making all that poo poo up.

I have no basis for it but it would be cool if Drebin was just lying to assuage Snake and provide a humane look into the emotionless, sleek robocopies of MGS1 boss squad.

There's no way for Drebin to know any of it. He spends most of the game just handling accounting and distribution of guns you send him. I think he's just bored and makes up cool stories about the bosses.

Which I think is also how Major Tom ends up creating crazy legends about Big Boss. He got bored because nobody called him on the codec anymore.

Drebin's monkey typed up their backstories and took smoke breaks between sessions.

Drebin is working for the Patriots and injected Snake with the FOXDIE that killed EVA, Ocelot and Big Boss. He knows more than you think.

Doesn't he straight up say "or maybe I made all that up" after one of the stories? Or did I just make that up?

I'm so stoked to replay these games.

There's no way for drebin to know that stuff firsthand, I like to think whatever big patriot database drebin was pulling from was vandalized by kojimaocelot. kojimaocelot undermines snake's heroism at every point in the game otherwise, and every time snake beats a boss kojimaocelot has a nut kick prepared for murdering emotionally broken women (that are actually just frogs coked to the gills on emotion grenades, because kojimaocelot thinks emotionally powered supersoldiers are cool.) That is my dumb fantheory

Lol that's one of my favorite reveals in 4, because it's coupled with so many convoluted tie ins to previous entries and history and then drunk as Drebin walks up to snake getting all serious about how Alucard is Dracula backwards
