So I got my little brother Metal Gear Rising for Christmas, and now his birthday is in a few weeks (13) so I'm going to give him the MGS HD collection. I can't wait to hear what a 13 year old thinks of MGS 2 lol. I will get him MGS4 after he goes through all of that. I like to think of this as a grand experiment.
Following onto your footsteps. Good brother.

Make sure he doesn't skip MGS1!
 
"Snake had a hard life"

Yeah, but what about Kaz, the real MVP?

Calling it, Metal Gear spinoff feautring Kaz after the game with the Boss

Well he does recruit Solid Snake so if a MG1 & MG2 remake ( or mix them into one game ) were to happened Kaz would definitely get a lot of spotlight and Frank J ( Grey fox only dude with the codename fox ) will also be shown! Along side the return of Campbell. I have feeling grey fox will appear in some fashion or recruited by big boss could be at the end of the game for all we know. I wanted to say something interesting that kaz said in phone conversation in PW but that would be a spoiler for one the of guys playing it here.

Only thing that sucks is that if we get another solid snake game we won't have otacon ( he's not born yet ) ;/ the bromance will be missing. Nevermind the bromance would solid and fox. So Huey would be on the "evil" side of things with BB.

he should get mgs1 first, otherwise he'll be even more lost on MGS2

Yeah, MGS 2 is hard to understand even IF you played 1 beforehand. Also isn't 13 kinda young for Revengeance :p

Got my Zeke built, YEAH. Also got a S rank on extra op 114 thanks to one japanese guy helping me out with coop while I was running around like a headless chicken. Man Zadornov's a pain. 6th time going after him.
 
I think playing them in order of release is the best thing. This way one could appreciate just how far the game jumps in terms of the technical aspects with each sequel.

I think I will take your guys suggestions and send him MGS1. I have that reissue they did on ps2, I'll just send him that with the HD collection. Thanks guys!

Isn't he young to play MGS?
 
I would say so too, especially MGSV...

Thing is this generation of young gamers is a problem, due to fact it's no longer a blue ball running around collecting rings ( Sonic ) graphics are so insane it's hard to digest everything. I remember loaded my first ps1 game was shocking can't imagine TPP.

First console I got was a sega genesis btw.

I did too man but still its wrong

Not really, if parents educate a kid on what's real and not by having a lengthy discussion with him/her then it isn't in the grand scheme of things. I bet you most people here played inappropriate games for their age and watched inappropriate movies(not porn) for their age and they turned out just fine, he won't understand half of the shit anyway or atleast I didn't when I played MGS1 at age 8. I just thought Gray Fox was the best thing in the game.

Likewise (Mega Drive Sonic 2 bundle for my 5th birthday (1993)). MGS1 came out in 1999 here and I never got it new. Would of been about 1-2 years after so I was around 12/13 when I played it.

After that I never touched MGS till Twin Snakes on Gamecube. Even though I enjoyed the games I went the Dreamcast/Nintendo route, keeping me away from the franchise.

Fist bump* I had that classic sonic 2 poster those were the days. I played SF, streets of rage 2, Maximum Carnage and T2:arcade like no tomorrow one of my goats games of all time.

When I got the ps1 I remember I had: loaded, nba jam , sfa2 and ridge racer.. Mgs1 was much later I remember everyone buying guides for that game mad secrets everywhere.

Thing is, some these new games get very graphic, I mean sometimes I'm sickened by some of these things going on in new games.

I do hope that your brother plays these games voluntarely, we've gotten some of these "I want my boy to play the same things I did" threads here and that just seems like forcing your own experiences on someone else just because you're nostalgic. Not trying to blame you or anything, but thats just something to keep in mind.
 
I don't think mgs 1-4 is too inappropriate for a thirteen year old.
Hell i was doing shit you wouldn't even believe a thirteen year old could do.

I don't think MGS is that bad for a kid. Maybe he won't really understand much of the historic and philosophical references, but that's it.
 
Troy Baker talked a bit about his time as Ocelot in a Reddit AMA:

"You're pretty good" line confirmed!
 
PC! :smugface:

I own a PS4 and plan on picking up an Xbox One in the coming months. What about you? We all need to add each other on PSN, Xbox Live, and/or Steam!

I'm planning on buying a Ps4 by march when bloodborne comes out! I'll get an xb1 when gears is close to release.

Currently I'm multitasking between psp (modded), vita , ps3/x360. Damn I need to finish KH2.5 now that I remember ;_;

Nice! Seems like a good time to jump in. ;-) Hope Black Tusk can do justice to Gears!

Ah, man, I feel ya - the Vita is probably my favorite platform. Can play almost every Metal Gear and every Persona on the go; doesn't get much better than that! PS3 still going strong, too. Good luck with that! Probably going to take you a while. :-D But yeah, man, add me if you get a chance (especially if you plan on using your current PSN account on PS4). Gonna Fulton dat ass when TPP is out.

Heath Ledger: Liquid snake
Christian bale. : big boss
Eric Bana : solid snake
Gillian Murphy : Otacon

In a perfect world this would work.
 
In a perfect world Heath would still be alive.

But this world aint perfect...far from it.

stupid world

Who would you cast? If you was the director of a live action mgs movie.

I put ledger for liquid cause he kinda looks the part, long and slim plus he can rock the long hair.

I remember reading somewhere that Christian Bale is a fan of Metal Gear. If Sean Bean was younger he could play Liquid.

He was rumored to star as Solid Snake and Was attached to a previous mgs draft I think.

There's a YouTube video where he was asked how many hours he logged in and he responded in a sort of rude way lol bale he's my favorite actor though. I think BB suits him better.

Got your point and I agree but there's a disturbing scenes + the story is complicated for a 13 years old

Heck its even complicated for people aged 25+ xD

MGS 3 torture was pretty gross to me. E: played it this summer

Anywhoo I'm in need of a avatar, any good snakku/metaru gearu ideas I can use?

I had played the fan translations of Metal Gear 1 & 2 and MGS 1&2 (at least the tanker chapter demo) by the time I was 13. Oh, and countless hours of porn. Countless.

Edit: then again I had also tried booze, pot, cocaine and sex by 13... I may not be a prime example lol

Edit 2: There's no correlation between having played the Metal Gear series and the aforementioned activities <.< >.>

You did everything you shouldn't have done and you're saying its okay for a 13 yo to play MGS? Get outta here xD

Dat gif. Totally appropriate.

Thus my amendment hahaha. What can I say? I grew up in quiet, boring, historic Boston suburb. We had to keep busy some how XD Not to mention that I was child 5 out of 6. It's hard for parents to keep track of such a large family lol.

The entire cast. It's tricky because you can't fit everyone into the movie I know for a fact some villans will be cut off.

I could work if they split it into 2 parts, there's tons of exposition, especially most of the death scenes and the meeting of hostages, that could be trimmed or cut. Also, most gameplay sections and the PAL key parts could be skipped entirely, just have Otacon reveal all the blackmail stuff in 1 go.

Skull is that you and do you have a kid?

That is me indeed. It's Real Pic January. That's a picture of me and my daughter from a couple years ago. It's a long story, but my ex is a cheating whore. When I found out and confronted her, she filed false charges on me, I got locked up, and she left the state with another guy and my daughter. I'm flying to see her next month. It'll have been close to a year since I've seen her.

Words that kill.

I wish you the best, brother.

Casting for MGS1? I can't think of a decent choice for Meryl, Naomi or Solid Snake (I know Christian Bale is right there but... I dunno). The rest of the cast though:

Bryan Cranston as Colonel Campbell
Michael Fassbender as Liquid Snake
Powers Boothe as Revolver Ocelot
Crispin Glover as Psycho Mantis
Dave Batista as Vulcan Raven
Iko Uwais as Gray Fox
Fan Bingbing as Mei Ling
Christina Hendricks as Nastasha Romanenko
