I knew it would be that exact moment.
If it were Solid Snake, he'd probably be clearly sarcastic and snarky about it, "Look at what? Your pricey flaps?"

"Look, I don't have time for your crap. Just tell me where to find Sokolov so I can get going."
One of the best games ever created, of course!
Yeah I'm playing through it right now too and the boss fights are really annoying. You can definitely tell this game was made when Monster Hunter was getting super popular in Japan!

I'm glad the uKnighted streams exist for the story. I never did manage to beat Peace Walker since there were so many barriers to playing the PSP version online and I lost interest after feeling like I'm missing out on the main draw of hte game.
People shit on MGS2 but it's actually one of the most thought out Metal Gear games.
It's got a LOT of detail to it, so much things you learn upon multiple playthroughs.
Edit: Yes Kittenmaster.
Marathon is over but right now he's streaming VR missions!

When E.E. gives you card 5 it's like Meryl did to Snake. Only Raiden gets mad cause it's not exactly like the simulation, cause Meryl gives it to Snake at the beginning while E.E. tells Raiden at the last minute. ITS NOT PART OF THE SIMULATION!

I missed that part. Some how I assumed the simulations were general sims.
Everything from the introduction to BS and the elevator, and the hallway were straight out of MGS1.

Browsing the wiki, I learned that they were originally going to go even further in imitating the Shadow Moses incident to the point where I theorize it was a joke about how MGS1 was a remake of MG2. Raiden was originally going to have more support members, one being a perky save chick that quoted philosphy like Mei Ling (which would make Rose basically Naomi as she already is), and he comes in contact with a male scientist that supposedly designed the AI. Of course, both of these characters would have turned out to be AIs just like the Colonel.
I don't really care how well "thought out" MGS2 is when it bored me to the point where I had to jump to FFXHD.
The game just feels like it's terribly stuck in the late 90s and the early 2000s, and not in an endearing way either like MGS1.
If anything, the game made me appreciate how great Ocarina of Time really is. The controls are literally flawless for that game and it came out 3 years before MGS2.

He must swim like a fish. I always wondered how
he hoped to keep up with Ray, but I never even considered the getting to Raiden part.
In MGS3, did anyone ever use the codec frequencies you get when you interrogate certain guards? By the time I was good enough to isolate one guard and interrogate him, I was good enough to avoid being seen anyway so it's never something I need to do.

Probably already mentioned but BruceLeeRoy's archived MGS4 |OT| deserves to be in the OP
I remember lurking GAF around that time and being in shock reading that thing.
Also, Im about to watch a critical analysis of MGS3 by the same guy that did the MGS2 analysis

Man, I have to say I toroughly enjoyed the marathon, watching people who know the game in and out, kind of like a directors commentary.
Only downside was that I could only watch a fraction of the marathon, as I was occupied most of the marathon.
His disguise is the best. "No one will belive that I'm US special forces!".
MGS3 > PW > GV > PP > 1 > 2 > 4
Play order. Not story order.
Don't forget that
Liquid is dead, yes he did possess Ocelote but that happens very rarely and Ocelote has his own agenda.
Big Boss is definitely "special" in MGS3.
He is special everywhere. In PW he admits he believes in Santa Claus.

Is MGR Raiden not in the OP picture?
Awesome thread. Can't wait to talk Metal Gear lore with you guys and gals.

Hey Metal Gear GAF! I didn't realise there was a community thread or I'd have joined in a couple of days ago. 
Been part of the MGS community outside GAF for quite a while -- in fact I ran the world's biggest MGS fansite back in my teens ~10 years ago -- but kinda lapsed after MGS4 came out because I didn't like that game much.
At any rate, Ground Zeroes has got me back into the series again so you may see me popping in every now and then.
For the record, MGS2 is the high point of the series for me. God tier game.

This thread title keeps playing me like a damn fiddle.
Not according to MGS4!
Which part?
According to MGS4, Liquid never possessed Ocelot's arm, Ocelot was just faking it the whole time to throw Snake off.
I dont think thats entirely true MGS2 wasn't him faking.
MGS1 gives you longer stamina i believe. MGS2 gives you a nice troll in the begining and MGS3 unlocks some extras i believe.
Also when you finish 3 you should definetly play MG2 Solid Snake everyone should play that at least once its amazing. Then realise that it came out in 1990.

I remember interrogating every guard and writing down every frequency. They give healing radio stations; call off an alert; and fire support.
The database says he was possessed in MGS2 then faked it afterwards because nanomachines.
The whole end section pisses me off.
Why couldn't we play through it and try to escape the tanker?
Kojima has said that play testers didn't like that section in repeat playthroughs and was boring.

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.
I guess it's mostly pride. They may possess similar ideologies, but both Liquid and Solidus also have ginormous egos. They want to be the ones exclusively leading the revolution, thus achieving "Greatest Snake of All Time" status. It's like sibling rivalry taken to the extreme.
That's why the pre-Harrier cutscene is one of my favorites. Solidus talking mad shit the whole time
"Brother, I'm a whole different game from Liquid!" "The world needs only one Big Boss!"And then there's Solid Snake not giving a shit about his brothers' dumb pissing contest, till he has to step in and clean up the mess. Poor guy's like a moody teenager constantly embarrassed by everything his family does.
That was the 1st part of the game, not after the Ray fight which is what he's talking about.
WOW. First time I've seen that. I'll definitely add that to the OP.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
This is the best OP I have ever seen. Damn, son.
I thought he was possessed the entire time until
Old Snake defeated him at the end and Ocelot started talking about Big Boss and Snake instead of referring Big Boss as father along with MGS3 flashbacks and Ocelots signature "You're pretty good" quote.

You have to use sonar, motion detector, and ap sensor in conjunction if you want full situational awareness...
sonar shows every living thing's position
motion detector shows things that are moving
and ap beeps when you get close to guards
