Who's your favorite MGS boss?
Metal Gear Ray

Everything about Ray is great. Rex is a tough boss, the game hypes this one up as making it obsolete, and then instead of fighting one, you fight something like 12 of them. The number even increases at higher difficulties.

Snatcher was fun but falls under cookie cutter cyberpunk by leaning so hard on its blade runner inspiration.
This is what allows it to be good. It uses a familiar cyberpunk world so it can focus on telling a good detective story without having to constantly fill the player in on setting details.

It's insane how Kojima and Fukushima were completely accurate in predicting the effect of social media on the American public.
It was definitely stuff people were talking about in studying media at that time but it's cool that Kojima knew his poo poo and used it so well in MGS2.

I don't believe this, because we've already seen what happens when you stick Liquid's body parts on someone.

So unless there was a hidden ending to MGS4 where it cuts from Snake putting a gun in his mouth to Big Boss putting finger guns in his mouth, I don't buy it.

I'm pretty sure they clearly explained in 4 that ocelot faked the whole possession thing
Here's what a quick Google search told me:

quote:

It is unlawful for a person to possess any Class I Wildlife unless the animal was in possession prior to August 1, 1980. Class I Wildlife includes, but is not limited to the following: chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, baboons, leopards, jaguars, tigers, lions, bears, elephants, crocodiles, etc. Persons may possess Class II Wildlife if he or she obtains a permit from the Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission. Class II Wildlife includes, but is not limited to the following: howler and guereza monkeys, macaques, cougars, bobcats, cheetahs, ocelots, servals, coyotes, wolves, hyenas, alligators, etc. All other wildlife in personal possession not defined as Class I or II Wildlife must obtain a no-cost permit. In addition, FL has promulgated regulations governing possession of Class II and III animals (caging requirements, etc.). In 2010, Florida passed state regulations prohibiting importation, sale, use and release of non-native species. The regulations include a ban on capturing, keeping, possessing, transporting or exhibiting venomous reptiles or reptiles of concern (listed python species, Green Anaconda, Nile monitor and other reptiles designated by the commission as a conditional or prohibited species.) Persons who hold pre-July 1, 2010, permits for these species may legally possess the species for the remainder of the reptile's life. Traveling wildlife exhibitors who are licensed or registered under the United States Animal Welfare Act and licensed zoos are exempted.

Also I just slipped on bird droppings and fell to my death. Man, this game.

It definitely has some issues cohering into a whole, but taken individually so many of the cutscenes are so good.

best voice acting in the series? (Other than david hayter of course)

robin atkin downes as kaz in v is great, he just sounds so bitter and pissy all the time. when you hear him on tapes more than you actually see him, it really helps characterize kaz

patric zimmerman as liquid ocelot in 4 was good too, perfectly ride the line between cheesy and TOO cheesy. if I had a brother I'd yell "brotherrrr!" at him

I was a little annoyed that there wasn't much sneaking but it was still one of the most impressive acts in the game, especially the MGS1 flashback intro and the RAY fight and subsequent cutscene
I don't think the Metal Gear nostalgia in some of the earlier chapters necessarily works, but it sure does in 4 and 5.

I can't get over how great the camera and animations are in V, both in cutscenes and gameplay. Playing with no HUD, no marking, and no reflex is like a Rambo movie directed by Alejandro Inarritu. I would have loved some more interiors since the camera gets in real tight and makes it very tense.
V's basic gameplay is super polished. The series has always had so much attention to detail.
