The fucking doctor, goddamnit. I do like the composition of this final scene, though.
Here's an alternate take someone drew:
I don't think she was...?

I like the concepts and ideas of this ending, I'm totally into stuff that affects what you think of the whole series yadda yadda...
But it's just written so fucking terribly.

No? Well, I felt like attention wasn't drawn to it at least. Can't recall to be honest.I don't think she was...?

Yeah thats my stance on it. I wish it was executed better because in theory i love it a lot.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I think about it.

It's the same exact scene; maybe you didn't really take note of it because it's the first time you ever see Quiet.

They do a close-up of Quiet's face when she's choking Venom.

It played out in the exact the same way.

MGS 1 is far away the best. Because the gameplay is more simplistic it holds up extremely well.

I tried playing MGS3 twice and got bored and stopped both times. I like the story, though. The story elements seem the best in 4 and 1, however.

Now time to play Metal Gear Online.

YEAH 3
FUCK THE HATERS
3's an amazing game. 4's basically the logical zenith of "Metal Gear" for better or worse

I'm with ya, Drew. Love this series but MGS3 will forever be my favorite.
I'm crazy but I think MGS1 is the most solid of the bunch. MGS3 has specific high moments but I don't like half the bosses and a good portion (most?) of the actual stealth. I just don't like MGS2 that much at all. MGS4 is cool and I like a lot of it, but again, some not so fun sections and too much "on rails" parts. 5 is... well, V.
YEAH 3
FUCK THE HATERS
Which haters? In every poll I've ever seen it is always the winning choice. Easily.
i'm glad they stuck through with this, and i say this being one of the people who bitched and moaned about their admittedly frustrating playthrough towards the end of the series
i stopped after Chapter 1, had no desire to go back and continue, and I'm really happy i got to see what happened afterwards by watching the GB guys do it

After MGS 2 which might be my favorite game of all time, I was kind of underwhelmed by 3. It has some great moments, but a lot of that game is super forgettable. With 4, I recognize the problems with the game, but I appreciate how much effort they put in to concluding every plot point in the series.

I've always thought of 3 as my favorite, but if I was going to play through the entirety of a MGS game right now it would be the first.

3 is an absolutely fantastic game and seems right up Drew's alley. Not surprisng at all that it's his favorite.

MGS1 for reals.
That first hour is probably what hooked me on video games.

Ah, cheers all! I must have spent a long time on the game!It played out in the exact the same way.

I disagree with Drew about how people should be copying MGS1.
Jeff is weird as fuck for not liking 3
but it's the usual Jeff thing where he somehow convinces you that he's not the weird one.
Austin as well, during extra life he ranked it as the worst Kojima game.

I love the final scene of the game and am totally fine with it being the ending, but it's so out of nowhere that it kinda brings it down a bit. I'm glad they went in the other direction compared to the 50 minutes that 4's ending took, but i think they took it a bit too far.

Miller is such a putz.

I remember when "Meme Gene Scene" was the series tagline and no one batted an eye since that was pre-Internet memes. One of those words that hasn't aged well culturally.

This is the worst post-credits in the series too.
Just Ocelot somehow speculating that the sons of Big Boss will arrive and fight and all this other bullshit.
Yeah I'm kind of left thinking "Oh, that's all ya had?"
Miller being hateful is a really cool concept that isn't developed at all and goes nowhere. Like a lot of MGSV!
Yep.
Thought Quiet and DD would have turned out to be a Sniper Wolf tie-in. Guess not.

I can't rank the main series Metal Gear games. I like them all equally for different reasons except MGS1 which I never liked the gameplay enough to finish.
Overall I'm #TeamRising tho.

frankly it's better than having something that sounds interesting that will never actually materialize because Kojima's a free agent

This game just bums me the hell out. I had already started to drift away from the series with 4 and PW, but V in particular made me sad that I used to love this thing so damn much and that it all amounted to something that just doesn't make me feel anything. (Even though it's also an absolute blast to play.)

Good point. I don't think it needed anything at all, in that case.frankly it's better than having something that sounds interesting that will never actually materialize because Kojima's a free agent

Yeah, the Scene subculture in the mid-00s really messed that tagline up I agree

He's right though. Not the actual gameplay and how it handles, but the ideas behind it. Shooting down lights to obstruct vision, dodging lasers, the enemy ai...alot of games did copy.
It has alot of great ideas.

I'll be sad if they don't do Metal Gear Rising. It'd be a breath of fresh air and drew would love it.

No more Metal Gear, please.
I don't care which one it is. Just do a different series.
