It's a great show. You just have to turn off the brain and let it roll. Like MGS
Metal Gear doesn't have the same plot every game though.
Fun fact: I had a video game idea similar to the trailer about a year ago. No spy stuff though. I should see this movie.

True. But one has many Emmy's.
But you have Metal Gears. Nukes. Stuff. Kinda the same plot all around yeah?That should be better.
Left one, definitely.
Also 1: You spent the last few pages finding names for OT2? You guys are insane!
Also 2: Played some Peace Walker this evening. Just a couple of hours for ol' times sake, and it's final for me. Those of you who think that Hayter is a better BB than Kiefer are just truly insane. Or deaf. Pick one.
It kinda does :/ not every game but, Metal Gear 2, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2, and Metal Gear Solid 3, all have the same layout. The story has evolved since then though, and the similarities were on purpose.
The premise is very similar in the majority of MGS games though...
24 Season 1: Terrorist threat, Jack is on the job, Inside man feeding info to terrorists,Jack's daughter is in trouble
24 Season 2: Terrorist threat, Jack is on the job, Inside man trying to sabotage Presidency, Jack's daughter is in trouble
24 Season 3: ....
Pls don't compare Metal Gear to 24.
MGS1 - I'm not defined by my genes
MGS2 - I can pass on my legacy to future generations without genes
MGS3 - Times define who are our enemies
Only similarity is there is a Snake who is trying to stop a Metal gear.

Naw, it's got a formula, but the plots are pretty different. The similar premises are stopping a nuke and destroying a Metal Gear variant. Everything else is pretty different.

I love Pokken!
I hope the Mother Base infiltration is capable of being more than just a game mode. Imagine infiltrating a massive mother base that would take hours to infiltrate while the owner of the mother base can assign bosses to defend it like Quiet or Ocelot. It would be MGS 2 all over again c:
Edit: Fighting another players Zeke would be pretty cool too

But Metal Gear Solid 1, 2 and 3 all had the "rookie has to save the day" premise.
They all have recurring story elements like nukes, a special unit you have to face etc. But every Metal Gear deals with a different theme and has a different setting. MGS2 is only similar to MGS1 if you take the story at face value. The actual story and over arching narrative is incredibly different and alot more complex.
Peace Walker is also very different.
Snake was a veteran during MGS1. He already had legendary status thanks to events in Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2.

Well Snake isn't a rookie in 1
Anyway he's trying to say that yeah the premise is the same but the execution and themes are different

It's a shame how 4 turned out. I was really wanting the whole Liquid arm taking over theme that we got to see at the end of 2. Instead we got Drebin Tales and doppleganger nonsense. There was a moment there when I decided that MGS was done for me after 4 (MGO being the saving grace). But then we got games like Peace Walker and Rising and I roped back in so hard.
Old interview for MGS4. http://www.konami.jp/mgs4/uk/interview/03.html
Kojima confirmed for best game developer ass?

Okay, but in MGS1 they still wanted to create "the perfect soldier" with Snake, no? Everyone always says he became the perfect soldier after those events. Which is why they tried the same in MGS2.
Guess my point is: in all three games, the main characters went through many trials and events leading up to them becoming "exceptional soldiers". Naked Snake becomes Big Boss and both Raiden and Solid Snake become "the perfect soldier" after what they went through.
Then why disagree with me while I said exactly that? That the premise was similar
PP

Because my reading skills aren't great sometimes.

Just get the inevitable SE collection that will include both.
Assuming Kojima gives us a release date.

They better not pull a KH move and include GZ with the CE.
Pls no.
Well, I wouldn't mind an edition that includes both... but please don't make the CE include it... :c
Thanks, itll give me an excuse to play GZ again directly before TPP.
Edit: Playing GZ one last time while TPP installs is gunna be incredible.

The question is if it's going to be included in both collections or just one.. But this will happen one way or another, next thing you know it's free on psn plus a month before release.
I expect it to be Plus soon. Including it with a CE is just plain stupid. Hardcore Metal Gear fans have already bought the game at least twice.
When are you getting a PS4? Get Bloodborne in March.

U shurfife?
Bro.
Get:
Wolfenstein: The New Order
The Last of Us Remastered if you don't have it yet
Driveclub (great if you're into racing)
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Grim Fandango (digital)
Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition
Any of these. Played them all. Obviously not all exclusive, but really good anyway. Unless you already have the PC version.
Also, Order 1886 releasing soon. Might be worth looking into.
Thanks for the suggestions, I already have TLOU for PS3 & Inquisition for One. Ill probably get Wolfenstein later.
Check out Resident Evil Remastered and GTAV if you haven't already.
Good. Wolfenstein was the best FPS last year. You'll love it. Top 3 2014 for me.
