I'm guessing Portable Ops is as close as you can get to discontinuity, since it got all of one line in Peace Walker and that was along the lines of "Let's forget that ever happened."

I always thought the idea was that he had to send someone in to rescue our Gray Fox and all that to keep up appearances, but he obviously didn't want that to really happen, so he sent a complete rookie. Whoops, that didn't work out well.

The thermal goggles trivialize a lot of things in MGS3. The Fear fight is actually kind of tricky without them.

Night vision goggles are in The Pain's cave. Kind of hard to find while it's still dark, but they make navigating that thing far less annoying.

Manhunt (the first one) is the other big one I think of when it comes to games that actively tried to make you be stealthy because the alternative sucked. That was also a pretty underrated game in general. It got that Arkham Asylum feel of "There's a group of big bad tough guys, but they'll break down soon enough once I start picking them off" down way before Arkham Asylum was thought of.

Dr Solway Garr posted:I think you're also literally missing a big chunk of the game in that if you select "I have not played MGS1" at the start, it skips the whole tanker mission. This is also the only way it really makes sense that they give you a big tutorial on how to play the game after you've already been playing for a couple of hours.

I'm not sure if you've played MGS3 yet, so spoilers. Philosphers were the group Volgin keeps going on about, a loose collection of the US, Russia and China who pooled all their money to take over the world, or...something. Then Volgin's daddy swipes all the money (the location of it was the Legacy chip Macguffin everyone was after), Ocelot winds up with it, and the loose group eventually evolves into the Patriots I think I got that right.

From what I remember it's really hard to actually get that conversation, as you have to be before a specific point in The Pain's cave and once you're past it you can't get it.

You should also play Metal Gear Acid 1 and 2, because the stories are crazy in ways that would make MGS2 cry. Ghost Babel is also pretty neat.

MGS3 Online was so great. I never stopped laughing at how hiding in a cardboard box actually worked on other people. They just never stopped to check those things.

It's easier to drop Emma off someplace out of the way (like that dark room with the guns. Don't leave her by the elevator like I did, more people come in that way), take out the enemies and then come back for her. Coincidentally this is also how I'm going through Ground Zeros, for the most part.

So I finished the standard Ground Zeros mission. Well, that was...dark. I mean, Paz was kind of a shithead, but "Rip her intestines out, put a bomb up her hoohaa and shove her out of a helicopter" was mean. It was also short enough to accurately be called a $20 demo, but the side missions are fun.

Gas mines and Fulton balloons. Set gas mines in the path of the vehicle, when the other guys have gotten far enough ahead to not notice you, run up and get rid of the guys who are napping. Repeat until they run out of guys. You can also use the tranq gun in lieu of mines, but it'll take longer.

I think it depends on the difficulty of the mission. On some of the later ones those eagle eyed bastards were spotting me from a mile off.
