MGS runs are entertaining, but turning this into a drinking game is gonna be even better. Looking forward to the ensuing madness.

chitoryu12 posted:In all honesty, Metal Gear Solid hasn't aged that badly for a PS1 game. Obviously it looks terrible by our standards, but the cinematic presentation in the cutscenes and the music still hold up. Likewise, MGS2 and 3 have way better presentation and graphics than a lot of competing games around their time. I feel that I've gained more appreciation for the first MGS as time went on. At the time that I first played it I found the actual gameplay too simplistic for what I wanted out of a stealth game, which was something that later entries rectified. But there's still a lot of attention to detail even in this game.

Considering I played the game in the winter of 2009 or so, a lot of the weird poo poo that people talked about with MGS I had absorbed through osmosis and pretty much knew what was required with the "code on the back of the case" deal. Funny thing, the reason for why I started playing the game then was that I was taking Biology in high school and we were talking about genetics, and like everything else in this series, the theme of "genes" in MGS1 was something I had heard about and decided to give it a shot based on that. Was especially hilarious when Liquid started talking it up near the end despite getting the idea of dominant and recessive genes loving wrong. But hey, could have been worse. I could have played Parasite Eve instead...

Even as a non alcoholic, I am still greatly intrigued by any discussion about different kinds of beer.

I'm the kind of person that openly embraces the dumb bullshit of MGS4 and the games after it for what it's worth mainly because I never was THAT invested in where the plot or the universe was going. I was always more excited at seeing where Hideo Kojima's Wild Ride would head next, plausibility be damned. That said, even with the gameplay advances in 4 I still found MGS3 the better title mechanics wise because stealth was still a requirement and you couldn't completely circumvent it by going guns blazing all the time. Yeah, there's still some incentive for being sneaky, but not really much of a meaningful penalty to going full action instead.
