I would like an MGS2 remake just for better controls and cameras. Both are much less of a problem on MGS3.

What I'm trying to say is I would buy both if they remade them.

There's nothing I don't like about Snakeeater. Except stamina killing The Fury.

That's how I stamina kill him. But its basically an exploit. If I try to do it the honest way, I'm BBQ after I plug him with a couple Mosin shots and he gets extra Furious. So I always try a few times and then say gently caress it and go lay down at the door.

I used to hate Volgin, but now he's a top 3 Snakeeater boss fight. The End is still tops for me and I more often than not just Mosin The Boss from afar. I used to like The Fear fight until I stood in one place and staminaed him in 2 minutes. Lost respect for him.

I need to play again and do a straight up sniper battle with The End instead of my usually sneak up and shoot him in the back.

Even in Subsistence the camera locks during The Boss fight. No way to turn it off, I tried (my copy is the HD Collection for PS3). If it didn't that fight would be one of the easiest in the game.

There's one in the forest, the one that everybody catches with the trap. And then I think there's one in the desert part on the approach to The Fury fight. It blends in better there, so its hard to spot. I may be wrong.

I don't think it's supposed to be a sniper duel. Snake is never presented as a sniper. The game always emphasizes CQC, so getting up close to him is the Snake way to handle it.

My favorite part of sneaking up on him is getting one last shot on him when he throws the stun grenade and runs away. He just looks like an old fat man falling down.

Of course its easier. Guns blazing turns any Metal Gear game in to a cakewalk. That's not how most people approach stealth games. Even if the alerts don't (literally) count.

What are the chances that Ground Zeroes will go on sale once TPP comes out? $20 is too expensive for my blood and I figure it would do well to help tide me over until TPP drops in price a little, and it'll give me a chance to bolster Mother Base with the unique soldiers.

High. Or get it packaged with TPP for $70 or $75.

Yeah, you just have to pick an officer that neutralizes the biggest opposition threat. Huey is good against metal gears. Amanda and Strangelove knock out officers. Basically Kaz loving sucks and Cecile is there for Kojima titties I guess. Even Snake kind of sucks but won't get killed as much as Kaz. Either way you have to grind on low level missions until you have soldiers and vehicles that are more powerful than whatever you're facing. It is a soulless, barren grindfest.

I remember back before MGS4 came out I was very perplexed by how ocelot treated Big Boss' sons. After all, MGS3 clearly established his weird infatuation with Big Boss yet in MGS1 and 2 Ocelot did his best to maim or kill all three of Big Boss' children. Hell, they weren't even his children, they were his clones! And Ocelot commented on how Solidus looked exactly like his old dad, the guy Ocelot had such a thing for.

It still doesn't make much sense to me.

It's not Big Boss's appearance Ocelot has a boner for, it's his masculinity. His essence.

I just want to remove a bee bullet from my head with a knife and treat it with styptic.

If there's a training mini game like San Andreas, maybe you can also just eat Taco Bell all day and go in to missions as a fat rear end. A whole new array of challenges and achievements.

I'm looking forward to liberating enemy animals for the Mother Base petting zoo. What Ocean is the base meant to be in? Travelling to landlocked Afghanistan seems a bit inconvenient.

I assumed the Indian Ocean. Best proximity to Afghanistan, Zanzibarland, and Outer Heaven.

So what's the deal with the new goofy character intro subtitles for GZ and TPP? Eli, the 'youth who curses his fate' and Emmerich, the 'technocrat who stands his ground'. They're really awkward and don't fit at all with the MGS tone. Seems an odd decision for a series that usually has a pretty decent translation team.

Probably all good examples of Japanese phrases that didn't translate well to English.

Big Boss was 30 in MGS3, which took place at the earliest in 1964 since LBJ was president. He would have been 20. I've never read that he was a Korea vet, but if he was 18 in 1954 he would have been 16 when Korea ended and enlisted when he was 14 or 15.

I got the feeling that gameplay from a few months ago where you got to tell Quiet where to snipe from meant maybe a 2nd player could play as Quiet instead. Probably just wishful thinking.
