I know it doesn't count because it's on Very Easy but I don't care. It was just for story.
Maybe next time I'll go on European Extreme.
This is the best MGS so far, in my opinion. Kojima's Cold War historical fiction is mindblowingly superb. And the game mechanics too: camouflage and cure system plus all tha animal hunting. i like it a lot
I was going to play MGS4 now but since MGS3 is still installed on my PS3's hard drive I might try to play MG and MG2 for the first time.

I started MG recently as well. I died within 2 minutes with each fucking restart. How the hell am I supposed to play this? But I'm gonna give it another go soon.

Screw the difficulty, it's all about fun.
I've done No Alerts / No Continues / No Kills on European Extreme on PS2. It stops being fun when you break out of prison and the only reason i kept playing was because i was too close to finishing it.

I've done No Alerts on PS2 and I remember that prison escape was a pain in the ass
Got to watch a speedrun on YT to make it through.

Especially the original edition without the 3D camera is pretty tough but i did it on Subsistence.
So guys, which area do you like most from all MGS games?
For me it's MGS4 Cove Valley Village.
I love the whole situation that is going on when you arrive on the scene and the option i have to infiltrate. It's an open area so you can snipe them but you can also try stealth and go around the building, it won't be easy though as there are patrols and a sleeping guard.
Great starting area for an amazing Act. Power Plant after that is good too, especially the area with the mortar.
During the first 2 playthroughs i felt so much exposed and went really slow.

The lack of Final Fantasy XIII HD Remaster Lightning Chronicles Collection is most disappointing.

This game is absolutely beautiful.
Is that the are where they execute the prisoners? Sniped those mofos trying to kill those guerillas.

He played for Zappa before he joined King Crimson. He's had an interesting career. I love how Crimson changes with the times. Glad you gave them a go. Did Epitaph make you go Nuclear? 😏
We're getting closer!

My favorite acts definitely are 1 and 4. I love middle eastern settings and I think I don't have to explain why I like the 4th one.

This whole Konami crap has me way more excited for this than I had been before.
I was really down on Kojima feeling like he was selling out(David Hayter then the Ground Zeroes deal)
But its really starting to sink in, specifically with E3 coming up.
This is the final Metal Gear as far as im concerned(will buy future nonKojima games though)
Really hope Kojima has a good final Metal Gear E3 showing.

I'd have to go with Sokrovenno - the 3 part area where you fight the End.
15 year old me got stuck for days hunting that old prick, using every gadget, trying to hold him up for the moss camo. The first time I had the drop on the third hold up, I accidentally had my c3 out, and accidentally blew myself up in the confusion.
Didn't even phase me then, because I knew I was playing one of the greatest boss fights ever made
Geoff favorited this
I am sure dawg can confirm this. I am sure he just fav this to let him know that he read the tweet. Or that he is aware of it. Common practice if you ask me.
HYPE!

I read somewhere that E3 will all be MGO focused, thats not confirmed right?

The MGO embargo will lift when E3 starts

Yes if the player didn't hurry, they would execute the prisoners.
Shadow Moses...
The fact that both Snake and the player, visit Shadow Moses after 9 years make it a special part in whole gaming industry. I felt older, i felt those years on me and i've been seeing them on Snake during the game.

That's amazing art.
Not in the least bit. Just because others would like to start shit by making it seem as though I wanted to 'steal all the OTs for myself' doesn't mean it's true.

I can't wait to replay MGS 4. It's been forever and I've honestly forgotten much of it. I know it has some problems, but I still had fun with it IIRC.
Far and away though, the return to Shadow Moses is my favorite area. Like many others, snowy areas are usually my favorite. The nostalgia mixed with the atmosphere was pretty poignant, but also fascinating to explore. Would love to see it on FOX.

Do it mate, its worth it. I had trouble with the controls and the mechanics though... After many playthrouhs of Ground Zeroes I find it hard to get used to MGS4. The absence of crouch walk and transition from walking/running to crawling is killing me. I always forget and press x while running which makes thing worse if you wanted to hide.
Anyway, I might give it a try during the summer. I am considering a full saga back to back replay before TPP.

MGSV teased!!! Kojima trailer incoming!!????

The soundtrack is definitely one of things i'm mostly looking forward to.
I'm glad the OST releases on the same day as the game comes out, this way i don't have the chance to take a sneak peek and listen to it and maybe spoil something :3
MGSV: The Phantom Pain Original Soundtrack appears at Amazon Japan, contains 2 discs

you can crouch walk in mgs4, or do you mean the smooth transition from crouching, crawling, and running?

Surprised at how spot on all the dialogue from Otacon and Snake was, they're all convos that don't seem really out of place in a real MGS. Also Young Snake with the MGS4 equipment looks amazing.
Also he's the man that makes the impossible possible, was there every any doubt?

Okay, so because of PS+ I finally played Ground Zeroes, and... ummm... as someone that missed Snake Eater, MGS4... this game was twisted as fuck. MGS and 2 might have toyed around with some questionable themes, but this game went full on shock gore porn.
It has great visuals, I love the change in mechanics, but good God. What happened to Paz went well beyond the normal horrors of MGS.
I'm just gonna say, I didn't like it, and probably not come back. If this is MGS now, I don't think I can play it. Enjoy it if you can guys, but it's no longer a series for me.

Uh wut.. you had people getting their body parts cut off and a whole guard post massacred and executed by a mentally unstable Ninja with a sword, then there's a torture sequence etc. all just in MGS 1 m8. It's always been a part of MGS, only now we have those more realistic graphics which makes it more intense and personal

That's probably part of it.Åesop;166256655 said:
The last in the series I played was MGS2. It was nowhere near as gory in cutscenes as Ground Zeroes. This was on an entirely different level. Paz organs nearly falling out as the medic dives his hand into her abdomen. I missed Snake Eater and MGS4, so maybe that degree of gore is more common in the series now.
MGS was violent, and dealt with a myriad of adult themes, but that seemed more at home in a horror movie than the MGS I knew. But I admit that was over a decade ago.

I haven't been talking about violence.
That part seemed par for MGS. I was talking the gore. And the camera angles intended to show it off gratuitously. That was new to me. While admitting I have a pretty big gap between MGS. Last I played was MGS2. Which had no scenes that compare in the slightest to the one in question. Nor MGS for that matter.
While asking if that changed in between. Or if that scene was set up the way it was purely for the shock of it. The violence was very MGS. Didn't seem any worse than it was back then. Just more realistic. The gore was disturbing, and something I hadn't experienced with the series up to that point.
Has that happened often since? In Snake Eater and 4? If it was done as a pinnacle moment, to show just how disturbed the people you're up against are, and the agency of the act in the situation, I could probably get passed it. But if it's something consistent in the series now I'll probably just decide MGS isn't for me anymore.
