Question about Metal Gear Solid2...

D-Member
So, I'm playing on extreme...and this is by far the most annoying, ridiculously stupid and difficult part of the game:

How the HELL do I get through Solidus's second choke(After the 20 Rays battle)? I've tried everything, I've read all kinds of tips...nothing helps. It seems like it goes on forever too. I need some help here. :P
 
If you move the camera to look at the moon, the power moves down slower. I haven't tried it on extreme, but it'll probably help.
 
MGS2's "AI" is all about patterns. It's pretty easy to work around the grunts. Why is it ridiculous? :P

BTW, what does that have to do with this topic?
 
Finished MGS2 on extreme a few hours ago...am I nuts or is the ending's dialogue different on extreme?
 
I know this thread is old but it's pretty small so I'm guessing bumping it is better than making a new topic...?


So, I just finished Sons of Liberty. Amazing game.

My head is spinning right now. Everything was so awesome until the
codec transmition after solidus talks about the sons of liberty at the end
and now I really don't know what to make of the story. A few questions..

- What the hell were campbell and rose? AI? Some sort of life form as they say...? That's just too weird. Seriously wtf? It was nice finally hearing the motives for the patriots on why they want to control information, sort of eva-ish, but it kinda made sense (in an anime sort of way...).

- What really spins my head here is raiden acting like it's all fine now and having this new beginning with rose. She was a spy! Wasn't that the real her?

- patriots = dead. I guess we'll know what's up with that in Guns of the Patriots? I also hope ocelots stays ocelots and isn't taken over completely by liquid. He's the coolest character after snake. :)


Just some impressions and random stuff...


- codec was never a problem really. I skipped most of the rose ones. Only at the end when
campbell was going crazy - you've been playing for too long! turn off the console! :lol
I thought it was annoying. Other than that it's fine. What's the deal with this? I keep hearing how codecs ruin the game or whatever.

- cut scenes were awesome and only too much in one or two parts. Again, why all the hate? I wouldn't want any less cut scenes in a MGS game.

- rarely had any problems with camera.

- gameplay just rocks in this one. I had way more fun than in the first game.

- same with story.

- man I hated the
real life videos
at the end. Depressing. :(

- I hear fan were pissed this game was short - is this true or am I mixing something here? I completed the game in a little over 12 hours, about 1 hour more than my time for 1.


I have Snake Eater and will play it this weekend; I need to take a break from MG and play some other games. Can't wait. :D
 
MGS2 seemed to take a little longer to beat than MGS1 for me, so I don't really get the complaints on length too much, than again I played on hard on the get go with like no kills and like zero times being caught, while trying to get all the dog tags. Let me tell you, that's hard as a bitch!!! In real time it must have been like 30 hours counting all the deaths, restarts and such.

Campbell was an AI throughout the entire game, Rose was real until she tells Raiden that shes pregnant in Arsenal Gear. When she talks to you over the codec on the roof of Federal Hall shes already been replaced by an AI.

- What really spins my head here is raiden acting like it's all fine now and having this new beginning with rose. She was a spy! Wasn't that the real her?

Yes, thats the real Rose at the end. I guess since they were both used by the Patriots that Raiden forgave her.

- patriots = dead. I guess we'll know what's up with that in Guns of the Patriots? I also hope ocelots stays ocelots and isn't taken over completely by liquid. He's the coolest character after snake. :)

You'll get more info about the Patriots in MGS3.
 
Oh one more thing -
why the hell did the president try to feel up raiden and make sure he's a man? :lol

It must be some sort of MG joke because I saw a similar thing in a MGS3 trailer. Come to think of it I think I saw raiden in there. o_O

President Johnson mistook Raiden for a woman. He believed that the Patriots had sent an assassin to kill him for his betrayal so I guess he wanted to get some action before he died. :lol

I'm stuck at all the Rays on hard. Any tips? I have a video of it on extreme but its too whacky.

Take out the knees first and then shoot the mouth, you can aslo use chaff grenades to make the missles lose their accuracy. I think there is 10 of them you have to disable on hard so keep moving, constantly. Only stop to fire a stinger missle.
 
Whats next for raiden ? I actually like him better than snake :) I also dont understand the raiden hate, such a cool story behind him as well.

I just finished the game and it was pretty cool. The camera didnt bother me much at all once i got used to it. Next stop MGS3.

He'll be in MGS4. This is his MGS4 art

He'll be different though in that game, probably more like his White Devil persona.
 
Chrono, you should play MGS3 now. The one problem with MGS3 is that it makes MGS2 look shit. The first time I played through MGS2 I was in love with it. Raiden didnt bother me that much and even though the story received a lot of hate for the poor presentation, it was still the most compelling and exiting plot I had played through, but once I finished MGS3, MGS2 didnt look so good.
 
I actually decided to pick up MGS2 substance after I beat MGS3. I haven't really played 2 since it first game out and the ending kind left me burned so I never felt like touching it again. Until now. :lol
