Glad you like it.
It took me about half a minute in MsPaint.
Thank you brau
I've never played them but going to after maxing out TPP.

Yes! Play in order. Even prequels have call b... call... forwards? Call forwards. That has to be the right phrase.

Pretty much yeah. By the time I realized how big a deal Metal Gear was, the third game was released and I so behind the times that I just didn't follow Metal Gear news or conversations. And if I read a spoiler like eight years ago, I've totally forgotten it by now anyways. I hope I will

I had always intended to play them someday, but it was way down my list of things to do (huge backlog) One of my best friends bought the Legacy Collection last year and loved it, and then he saw it was cheap via CAG last week, so he sent me the link to get it...and here I am $30 poorer, but with tons of stuff to play!
$30 is a very good deal for The Legacy Collection. 8 Metal Gear games and the two bonus digital graphic novels.
Great value.

Wow, lucky guy. Gets to experience MGS titles all at once. We waited years. Enjoy, brother. Before the Internet taints you
be sure to post your thoughts on the titles as you complete them.
Would pay to replay those games for the first time again. ( ._.)...would pay real money ;_;7
Kyaaaa. Definitely gonna attempt to find Quiet on my first playthrough but if I miss her, oh well ¯\_(ツ_/¯
Don't encourage him. I cannot go through MGS Yaoi pictures again.
Teams B, C and D, *spits*

There is a possibility that Vally will never find Quiet, and Dawg will never find DD on their playthough of TPP.

From a Dutch interview with Stefanie Joosten:
- Budget of MGSV is almost 100 million dollars.
- Stefanie doesn't get royalties if the game sells well.
- Stefanie never met Kiefer Sutherland.
There's always the second, third, fourth, fifth.... multiple playthroughs to find her.Kyaaaa. Definitely gonna attempt to find Quiet on my first playthrough but if I miss her, oh well ¯\_(ツ
Any link to the interview?
NOW WE KNOW THAT KONAMI IS PISSED
Whut. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

You must be new to games if you think voice actors get royalties or any sort of income from successful games. Remember that whole thing with the actor from GTAIV?
Supreme Stephan

Not yet, but it'll probably be online tomorrow over here (in Dutch): http://www.l1.nl/programma/avondgasten-sprankelende-gasten-en-verslaggevers-limburg
No actor earns royalties from games sales.
Or even worse, I'll find her and she will be killed for the rest of the game D: anyway in my first playthrough I'm not gonna bother restarting the game if I miss or lose a buddy
100 million dollars
damnI knew that VAs don't get royalities, I'm just surprised to hear that it was even mentioned at all.
And no, to answer your question.

Oh and there aren't any plans yet for a world tour when the game releases (as far as she knows).

Translate GAF, awaken! Hey, where's Dawg from?
EDIT: Supreme Stephan, can you post like a summary or something? But I guess you already covered the important parts, huh?
You should read about it.

There is also the whole thing with the voice actor of Silent Hills, which lead to the re recording of his voice... it was awful.

This last one is an open letter from the actor.
really interesting stuff, and really sad as well.
Haha. That line blew up my FB feed the week of that trailer.

Stefanie says Kojima is nice to work with and has a very creative mind. He sometimes even changes/adds things on the fly when they're in the middle of motion capture.
Thanks.
That MGS4 budget isn't correct, I remember that someone from Konami debunked that.
Yeah, thats the order I played when I got it.

Tomorrow on Gram, I hope someone can explain what that means. To bed I go now.
Lol. I can imagine.

Yeah, those were the most interesting points as far as I can remember. The TV program isn't gaming oriented at all, so they didn't go very in depth with their questions.
And here's a picture for her fans lol:
Edit: The interviewer just corrected himself. He says the budget is "almost" 100 million dollars.

While MG2 is full of neat ideas, I actually think MG1 is better overall. MG2 is way worse in the backtracking department and has more downright annoying parts (Follow the dude with the green beret, the invisible swamp, etc.) and while the stealth gameplay was ambitious, it works better in the first game were each screen was designed as it's own challenge.
But yeah, I wouldn't start with either of the MSX games.
Oh, and MGS virgin guy...don't forget to watch MGS1's Briefing before you start a new game!
It's available from the main menu.

MGS does a really, really good job of informing the player of the MG1/MG2 backstory. considering the rare nature of both games, MG2 in particular, when MGS was released, most fans didn't play either title until after MGS. and most who did play MG, played the NES MG1, which was changed quite a bit from the original MSX game. i don't even think i got out of the jungle when i played MG NES as a kid, haha
Sony ain't going to fund his next project, that's for sure.
My Metal Gear Collection
Felt like sharing it for the first time...
That's awesome.
MGS2: SoL still has the best cover imo.
And man some of those NA covers look way worse than the ones we have in Europe.

if the MGSV budget was $100MM+, I would think that number includes development costs of the fox engine, which conflates the costs of the engine and the cost of the game itself. particularly considering they already released 3 games with the fox engine, and will presumably release more after MGSV

All being said, both MSX Metal Gear's have aged quite a bit better than other classics of the era for example the first Zelda or Metroid. And classic Metal Gear is very similiar in it's structure to those games to begin with, so if you can still play those nowadays, you might actually give both MSX MG's a try right now. It'd be pretty interesting to see someone's "first playthrough impressions" while going from Metal Gear 2 to Metal Gear Solid
I thinking would be epic to hear those impressions! =)
Link to the Stefanie interview in Dutch if anyone is interested
