PeaceWalker owned but like with any other Metal Gear game it's a case of "This game owned, except for..." EE in MGS2 was creepy for sure, but she was an 18 year old woman who didn't dress as a school girl. Plus you could fast forward the codecs so you didn't need to hear her lusting after her step-brother in your subsequent playthroughs! I'm pretty sure the fan base hated her almost as much as Raiden when the game came out though, since she was the subject of that most dreaded of missions, an escort mission.

Absolutely agreed. Feels like the soundtrack for the first half hour of the Plant is the "fast-forwarding Codec" noise

MGS2 is still my favourite as you can simply fast forward or skip all the inanity and focus on the mechanics. Before I even knew about 100% runs or speed running I was just running the game over and over again to see how fast I could beat it or to get all those bloody dog tags. And I found it super fun.

The codec screen has this blue background, and sometimes, the screen transition between it and gameplay will just flash pink. Does anyone else experience that?

CJacobs posted:Huey was always that bad, yes. After you rescue him from Coldman in Peace Walker, immediately he starts pestering you about also securing Strangelove and then as soon as she arrives starts hitting on her secretly with love notes formally addressed to you. Dude was portrayed both as lovesick and a little manipulative. Having just finished Peace Walker (again) last night it's stupider than that - Kaz says they've dug up PW's nuke from the bottom of the lake and suggests "we could leave it on a boat in the middle of the ocean, where no one would ever find it" and Snake grumbles and assents to putting it on Zeke. Like, what the gently caress Kaz, people would find that poo poo in five minutes!

NikkolasKing posted:(I listened to every. single. codec. call. for the bosses. There's so much fascinating stuff there but, if the LPs I've watched are any indication, nobody else spends forever listening to all of them like I did.) Chip and Ironicus' LPs have videos for all the codec calls (MGS3 playlist but they've played every MGS game) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?app=desktop&list=PL2DE5F4F6C35DA9FC Regarding the overall plot the main issue I have is with Zero - Metal Gear 1 through to Metal Gear Solid 3 was about Solid Snake and Big Boss, and then suddenly we're supposed to give a poo poo about Zero who turned evil off-screen? Especially with the framing that Big Boss is a villain, it feels like going "oh but here's an even bigger villain!"

I'm streaming MGSV at the moment and whenever I settle in to play a tape while doing something, I get a bark from Kaz or Ocelot that takes precedence over the tape. I swear the game says nothing for hours and then you're listening to a tape, and it's all "Boss, a helicopter is a flying platform..."

Yeah that's a really cynical read. The whole point of that conversation was that Raiden freaked out when Rose saw his room, that doesn't imply a pattern of domestic violence.

I just think this is master of subtlety Kojima here, if he wanted Raiden to be an abuser every second codec call would be about it. If he has hit her he should get in the bin, of course.

MGS1 and MGS2 are super short when you skip everything like codecs and cutscenes. Which is great - you can settle in and enjoy the hammy plots and acting, or smash through a hard mode attempt in a couple of hours. Options!

I really struggled with 3 as well, but the secret of CQC and MGS games from 3 onward is as long as you grab someone quick enough it doesn't matter that they've seen you. Can't call for an alert when you're on the ground with stars over your head.

Necrothatcher posted:I thought Snake's Revenge was way better than its reputation suggests. It's not a standout title by any means, but it's a decent NES game. I played it in 2022 and I loving haaaaaaated it. The MSX games have their annoying quirks but the side-scrolling in Snake's Revenge just sucked bad.
