In the case of MGS1, I have both the bandana and the stealth, but in later games I only have a couple things unlocked. I'll also avoid using anything blatantly cheaty unless it's either funny, or helps me skip something bullshit. Also boss battles are fair game for the bandana.

Iron Chitlin posted:I have been pumped for this since first hearing about your plan to do it, I am 100% on board with this crazy endeavor. Snake and the Ninja have their alternate costumes, Meryl and Otacon are in their normal outfits though. I'm probably going to run through a second save file two more times off screen and make a bonus video to show those two off. samu3lk posted:MGS1 was the primary reason I bought a PS1 and this will be a good LP.

ChaosArgate posted:Pretty sure Otacon doesn't have an alternate costume? I read somewhere that Otacon and Meryl get new costumes if you beat their endings with the tuxedo, I never tried it myself so I'm not sure if it's true, but I'll try them both at some point.  Considering the bullshit I'm doing offscreen to set up for MGS2, this isn't anything majorEDIT: Apparently Meryl's other outfit is only in Twin Snakes, and Otacon has no other costume at all, it's just one of those things that immortalizes as truth, like how you could TOTALLY tranq Ocelot after talking to Ames and get his dogtags, you just have to be fast.

Oh snap good thing I wasn't planning on monetizing these   Bizarrely enough, the two scenes it didn't like were the scene where Snake is in the SDV, and the part where he talks to Octopus right after the sepia-toned flyaround of REX. The rest was fine apparently

Edward_Tohr posted:Aw, man, MGS drinking game. I genuinely considered the nanomachines one, then I watched this video again and decided against it. Speaking of the drinking game, I've updated the second post with a description of the drinks involved, and I'll be keeping it updated as we go along. We're also going to stick with the normal rules for the next session, but plan to introduce thread decided conditions later on.

  Let's Play Metal Gear Solid Episode 2 - Tumbling DownFun facts for this episode: -If you do manage to beat the combat segment with Meryl unarmed, Snake automatically scoots over to the socom and picks it up. Also note that Meryl shits on us later for being a gunless dumbass when we met -When Baker mentions Jim, he's referring to Jim Houseman, the secretary of defense. You may remember him as the total prick who's technically leading the mission, despite his only active input being sending a plane to nuke you. -The line Ocelot was saying before I shot him in the rear end was "I love to reload during a battle, There's nothing like the feeling of slamming a long silver bullet into a well greased chamber". If it weren't for the torture fetish and the implied rapes, Ocelot would easily be my favourite character. -You can call Campbell after speaking to Meryl and tell him she's okay. He's super relieved.  I did it off screen between episodes though, so whoops.

I think if you call Campbell enough times (like, five or six) he'll eventually tell you her frequency, in case you lost the case or something. And he claims he's telling us everything he knows. chitoryu12 posted:Well, Liquid was always supposed to have a really lovely idea of genes. He's basically basing his entire world view and evil plot on having no clue how science works and I guess nobody having the balls to tell him that he read the book upside-down. I remember reading that Kojima claims that Liquid's ignorance about genes is a character flaw. I have a feeling Kojima failed high school biology and no one thought to argue with him.

If you smoke while standing near lasers, the smoke refracts the beams and makes them temporarily visible (this is used much more in Metal Gear 1 and 2, and the MGS Game Boy game). Also, iirc, don't they also calm your nerves in sniper mode a little, but not as much as the pills? I remember them being SUPER useful in MGS4 because taking a smoke break did wonders for Snake's psyche. I don't remember the cigar having any use in MGS3 aside from leeches.

Raven is actually really smart and most of the poo poo he says is true, despite being cryptic and wierd. -I got grenades last episode, but then fell down a pit and forgot to go get them again. -If you see me running around like an rear end in a top hat after an alert, I'm trying to take my drink without pausing because that's lame. -We both have the maturity of a first grader, and as such will be giggling every time Deepthroat is mentioned. -Meryl tells us exactly where the Nikita is, but we were STILL giggling about the name "Deepthroat" Danaru fucked around with this message at 16:59 on May 6, 2015 |

Iron Chitlin posted:Let's Play The Metal Gear Solid series: A Discussion of 70s Pornography. We just recorded another four episodes, and I didn't take a single shot.  With that said, it was also the most cutscene heavy and backtrack heavy section of the game.  Probably going to leave the drinking rules as is for the rest of MGS1, but come MGS2 we're definitely doing current rules + thread suggested/voted conditions.We've also recorded enough to keep up an episode every two days for the next little while, barring any scheduling issues I want to keep that up. Unfortunately I have an 8-day work week, so I work different days every week. Scheduling is bound to get fucky at some point. It's also why I pretty much never co-commentate on other people's videos anymore, I absolutely HATE putting that burden on other people.

Oh drat I never even thought of that, I stopped trying to shoot him after I chaffed him and he crouched down and wasted forever without being able to hit him SSNeoman posted:Weihenstephaner is amazing, but for some reason it's only good when it's on tap. I had some at Wurstkuche (German sausage place in LA, highly recommended) and it was loving amazing. But when I buy it in the bottles, it's not the same. I'll keep an eye out, our liquor store is wierd in that they have boxes with all the bigger brands, and then a rack with like fifty kinds of random-rear end beers from around the world with no rhyme or reason. also 60% of the building is dedicated specifically to wine, which I'm way too serf-class to be drinking.

ArclightBorealis posted:Even as a non alcoholic, I am still greatly intrigued by any discussion about different kinds of beer. Same here, I'm loving the alcohol chat Just to add to it, my normal drink of choice aside from ciders is a modified Caesar, in that it's just vodka, sriracha, and black pepper dunked into a pint of clamato.

Choco1980 posted:I'll excuse it for some spots, but when you kept getting frustrated at the VERY slow moving cameras at the corners above the stairs in the first room was ridiculous. They might be literally the easiest cameras to avoid in the whole game. You mean the ones in the tank hangar?  The problem I had on the right side was trying to get the right timing to snatch the guard without walking on the loud floor. The camera itself was barely an issue since half the time it looks over at a dead end I have no need to go to. The one on the left I chaffed basically on autopilot because I couldn't be arsed with it.The ones in the warhead storage area I DID just run under since no one is wandering too closely around them. My main regret is not thinking to just flip the guard and run away, considering that's pretty much been my mainstay so far.

I don't dislike MGS4 as much as most people do, it has some really great gameplay additions, the only problem being that the locations are sorta lovely, and good loving god 90% of the game is cutscenes and that awful Prague level. They even managed to make Shadow Moses suck by filling it full of hundreds of bullshit fun-killing robot enemies. Also loving Naomi "HI I DIED IN AN EARLIER ACT HERE'S A VIDEO OF ME EXPOSITING THE SAME loving THING FOR ALL ETERNITY ISN'T THIS A GREAT REWARD FOR THE MICROWAVE HALLWAY" Hunter. I seriously hated Naomi less when she was actively trying to kill me. Also I'm sorry but I love the ending scene with Big Boss. Yeah it's dumb but dammit they both get closure and Snake gets to ride off into the sunset with his Totally Heterosexual™ boyfriend and they get to go on plane adventures with their adopted daughter  How is that not the best thingAlso here's a bonus video. Joke's on you Psycho Mantis I'm a trash human being

Let's Play Metal Gear Solid Episode 6 - Pupcave Who's ready for some backtracking?! Fun facts for this episode: - The reason it doesn't let us backtrack is so we can't get the PSG-1 early. Doesn't mean I have to like it though. - Apparently my muscle memory remembers the pupcave way better than my brain does - I loving hate the sniper wolf fight. Snake moves the PSG-1 so slowly that you usually get shot before you can get your sights back on Wolf. MGS1's controls did NOT age well. The entire difficulty of the fight is solely how difficult it is to aim. - We finish up the most egregious backtracking in this and the next episode. I don't mind the PAL key backtracking as much, at least it's the same building, and we get to see REX by then. - Grace is a liar.

I had an off-brand that he couldn't tell for and totally cheesed it all the time. Yep! He slashes up the door lock, and even if you don't leave, Johnny notices the door is open and shoots at you. Also if it does catch you doing autofire, it just electrocutes you forever and never actually ends. I figured something cool would happen I could have sworn in the Twin Snakes, he shoots you if he detects autofire, but I also can't find any videos of it.EDIT: I found this horrible quality clip of Ocelot breaking the 4th wall even more than he did in the PSX version, I love MGS' constaint fourth wall breaking.

At the time I got the game I must have read every strategy guide or walkthrough on it, online and off, featuring all the neat tips, tricks, and easter eggs there are and I don't recall a single one of them mentioning this. There are some pretty good 'hidden' codec moments in MGS2 as well, I'll be trying to show off as many as I can there as well. One codec call I'm upset I kept forgetting about is that in MGS1, if you call Miller on a noisy floor, he tells you to walk slowly, but snake responds with "I... I can't..." because walking slowly hasn't been implemented yet Miller then suggests wearing your socks over your boots.Choco1980 posted:I too remember trying the original Metal Gear on the NES and finding it impenetrable to my young mind. What's funny is going back and playing it now it's not even really that hard, it's just that the stealth/sneaking mechanic was completely different from any other games at the time (plus they increased the dog count for the system among the other changes My ONLY memory of Metal Gear for the nes was never getting past the dog filled hell that was the jungle.  those pups were NOT nice.Also I've been editing the latest episodes, and made this from Episode 9.
