Meh there was a lot of terrible, terrible, TERRIBLE storytelling in MGS2. You take the good with the bad. Such is the series. MGSV has some of the best moments of the series for me. I'm sorry it didn't do it for you but I honestly think you're putting MGS2 on a pedestal. I just finished a playthrough of that game last week and I forgot how much of it is simply terrible. Some fantastic ideas but the execution is...mixed. Also, MGS2 suffers from having a ton of important stuff completely cut from the game, Just like V did. It too was a bit too ambitious for the time.

What important stuff? Only thing I can think of is Arsenal crashing into New York and that was just a transition between stuff we did get. MGSV has entire plotlines dropped, a ridiculous Chapter format that doesn't work when you only have 2 chapters, only 2 maps, among others.

Bleh. Just finished. Chapter 2 and the "twist" were garbage, but other than that it was a great game. I don't know. I need time to think about this.

 

[MMarston]

I'm glad the PC community is here to salvage that trainwreck rain scene.

...until you remember the SFM Pornographers are a thing

Model Swap makes everything better.



The real one.

Your answer is for all my questions at the same time?

Even gladder?

 

[iMax]

Such a shame the music in the ending scene when Venom smashes the mirror isn't on the soundtrack. So epic.

Why wouldn't they be? Technically they were all supposed to be the same at some point, this plot mechanic gives them wiggle room if they ever wanted to stretch Big Boss' story in any other directions.

Fortunately/unfortunately the dude who made the GZ model extractor is still working on it for TPP

It is though

I kept alternating between this and A Phantom Pain while at the gym yesterday. Made me feel epic, indeed

Sorry. you're right Venom is in MG1. Real Boss rest of the games.

You'd be surprised at the amount of weird, nasty shit they can come up

(Unless you're into that kind of thing)

A surprising chunk of tracks I like from the game aren't on the actual soundtrack, mainly the Quiet motifs.

Venom got the best songs.

 

[AppleMIX]

This is pretty good.

Venom got the best songs.

Between his theme songs, the cut tape of him talking to Boss, his poetic tribute to his soldiers in Mission 43, and his stylin' ponytail, he's quickly becoming a favorite character.

Ok, thanks. That makes sense, I was asking this because Big Boss tells in MGS 4 that his body was reconstructed by the Patriots, so the cause is that Solid Snake "kills" him in MG2, which means that in MG2 we really fight the real one.

Lost it when DD's head revealed.

Why didn't Venom say anything when assassin Quiet appeared? Did I miss something related to his voicebox?

 

[Papercuts]

This is pretty good.

I forgot how damn stable the dying doctor can hold the mirror.

Sounds a little bit similar, but it's not the same. https://youtu.be/OKzYufv_QrM?t=14m20s

Hah... the mammal pod doesn't recognise you when you enter Huey's lab.

You guys gotta stop posting these haha.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

The ominous music kicks in at the perfect time.

 

[JayEH]

Can one of you post the reflection scene you are all talking about? (Where you see your avatar's instead of snake's)

 

[BreezyLimbo]

So not for nothing, but did the arm feature where you can attach it to a wall to lure guards ever make it through?

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Sounds a little bit similar, but it's not the same. https://youtu.be/OKzYufv_QrM?t=14m20s

Oh. Found something a bit more similar but that seems to be a mix of the two tracks. Damn.

 

[ponpo]

If anyone is later in the game and wants S rank guys, just replay Code Talker extreme using the zombie guard method and you'll get several.

 

[Tecl0n]

ohboyohboy got the rain scene finally. yeesh.

 

[hamchan]

Zombie guard method?

 

[Jintor]

what's this shower scene anyway? Just don't take showers for a while? Why people be mentioning quiet?

...THOUGH I CAN GUESS : |

 

[Ishida]

Ponytail>>>>>>>Mullet

Pure blasphemy.

 

[ponpo]

Zombie guard method?

If you kill 2/4 of the Skull sniper girls or better just sneak by them, once you grab Code Talker and exit, all of the XOF guards at the mansion are in skull infected puppet form or whatever, so you can easily go around and grab whoever is needed. Just got 6 S ranks from it.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Pure blasphemy.

Search your heart, you know it to be true

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Pure blasphemy.

I do like the (implied) explanation that the reason Sahalanthropus never really propagated techwise was that it never actually worked and was just Mantis puppeting the stupid thing.

Although of course it's another on the list of "Mantis is god"

 

[Toa TAK]

Ponytail>>>>>>>Mullet

They both belong in the 80s.

 

[NinjamicWZ]

Finished 45 and 46 finally. God dammit to 45 and I knew it to 46. wtf, though. No New Game+ either ;-;

You know what was pointless? the battle gear.

even if mantis was just puppeting the thing how does it explain being able to, you know, move, it's not like he could modify the internal machinery or anything

It was made to move, just not to be piloted by an adult or controlled by AI. Huey never got that part down.
