My most epic gaming session of all time was in high school when I stayed up and played through the entirety of MGS2 in one sitting... it was about 4AM when I got to Arsenal Gear and I actually thought I was going crazy

same and i had to go to school on two hours of sleep

Deus ex actively hosed you over if you went pure stealth when you hit the bosses unless you had a taser or gas mines. I'm glad to see that they fixed this in the updated edition by giving the bosses bigger rooms with stealth options like activating turrets and stuff.

its a scam too, you can stealth perfectly fine without any of the augs which i did my last playthrough

not that id WANT them to make it so you couldnt stealth without that lovely invisibility cloak or something

as a youth I loved the long cut scenes and cinematic experience of older mgs games. now as a mature and discerning gam,er who values gameplay over all, I can fall in love with the mgs series all over again thanks to the finely tuned gameplay and mechanics of the more recent releases

thats basically what happened to me after i fell out of it for a couple years

mgs3 probably has some of the best pacing ive seen in a game with how it slowly ramps up the difficulty and the levels just kepe getting cooler

I loving hated cutscene in any game when I was a kid. I beat metal gear 1 and 2 without watching a single cutscene and skipping every codec convo.

thats more how i am now, i usually ignore a lot of cutscenes and dont really have much of an idea of whats going on. im playing dmc4 now though and skipping every cutscene

Yup, platinum cutscenes are dumb and way too long for how little I care. I started skipping them halfway through 1 and haven't gone back

i was cool with mgr cutscenes but that wasnt eve nwritten by platinum, it was a dude that helped write mgs4 and maybe 5?

i h8 to complain about a game i love, but i wish you could move while crouching in 3. unless you can and i just somehow dont know how to do it lol. am i really that much of a noob tho? well, maybe.

you can do this in the 3ds version but its pretty shoddy, also being able to shoot while moving breaks the game, i killed the fear in about 30 seconds without him even touching me

The game will feature a great variety of wild animals. Small animals like rats won’t be fultonned, but Snake will put them in his pockets.

the 3DS version is actually the only one I played to completion because my PS2 disc broke halfway through. I don't really remember the original and the 3DS version's lag sucked but I feel like I'd get annoyed at the limitations of the PS3 version because of this. My life is a turd and is hard

itd probably feel like a dream since it never drops below 60 fps

Nice. I should have picked it up for PC during the Steam sale, it bet it looks great with maxed out settings compared to the PS3 version.

its a straight port i think so aside from the resolution not much is changed, you never have to worry about your framerate tanking though even though it was rare on ps3
