I'll take Raiden holding an electric sword over holding his meat sword any day.

Pretty much this. I felt conflicted about him in MGS4 too.

I'm genuinely surprised anyone still cares.

I guess a big part of it for me is that we already had Gray Fox, who I found was better handled in the one game appearance he had.

Raiden suplexed a Ray where Gray Fox is a dogshit smear Rex trod in.
Olga was a better Gray Fox than Gray Fox.

I said better handled not who was stronger.
Plus the cybernetics were vastly improved by that time frame for raiden.
Gray Fox didn't even have his installed correctly thus why he was always freaking out.

Gray Fox is the one and true Cyborg Ninja.

But you're asking me to forsaken Elizabeth for the holiday? I'm not sure if I can do that. I thought you were going to suggest me a picture of Elizabeth I can use for the holiday
I'll be happy if your avatar just looked the right direction >.<

i think talking about metal gear should count as animu talk, but at least MGS has some decent gameplay attached to its lengthy and often bloated cutscenes
oh c'mon, what are you even talking about? The best thing about animu games is gameplay.

He is literally a robot dog though.
If he wasn't so moapy I'd like him more but the way the rub "self awareness" in your face every time there's a cutscene with him just made me detest him. Even his theme song didn't get away.

I thought MGS4 was a step back from the earlier MGS. It felt far more casual, the levels were all kinda linear and act 3... this fucking act 3...

MGS4 is a very uneven game. The first two acts are by far the best MGS stuff from the whole series. Then, Act 3 begins and it's like, why you gotta ruin a good thing Kojima

I, for one, welcome our new steam-powered overlords.

Robot. Dog.
I agree with this. MGS5 just needs to be act 1 and 2 of MGS4 for the entire game.

I don't agree, the game had some amazing moments in the later acts.

Okay okay, I get it xD
Can I just say how Mistral promised to be awesome, yet her boss fight was rather poor in comparison to the others. She gets all those extra arms and all she does is attack you with a staff whip. She could have at least tried throwing a dozen knives at Raiden or something.
It's also a shame that her theme song, which is my favourite out of all the boss themes, only hits the vocal part at the very end of the fight, which lasts maybe 30 seconds?

Actually her arms make that polearm so she can't use a combination of both, to be honest the reason she's so tame probably comes down to the fact that she's the first proper boss. (Yes, Ray is a boss but that's a battle that doesn't repeat itself until the first part of the final boss)

I think the statute of limitations has expired for spoilering MGS4 stuff, right?
Both of those moments were pretty awesome, first more than the second. I did like how they handled the last boss fight as well.
I did find her fight to be relatively easy. Can't say the same for Monsoon.
Fuck that guy.
Finished up my playthrough of FFXIII on Steam last night (had previously played through it on console at release).
It has left such a sour taste in my mouth (can't believe how much more I hate it now than I did before!) that I'm going to need some quality gaming tonight to wash it out. Haven't quite decided what yet. Considering a new game of EUIV or perhaps starting up Binding of Isaac Rebirth.

yeah but it also has so many stupid scenes, too, and the gameplay takes a complete dive into some real shitty stuff after 2 fantastic acts of solid (hah) gameplay and story.
Theres the metal gear rushmore, the
return of big boss, using solidus's body as a garbage plot point
It makes it hard to look forward to the supposedly more-serious TPP, especially given how incredibly animu Peace Walker was and how unnecessarily trashy and gross some of the plot details in MGSGZ were.

If it has a Block button instead of only parry it would be perfect.

... So you re bought a game that you didn't originally like?

Blocking doesn't really fit the Raiden character though. I wouldn't feel immersed in the narrative if that replaced the Parry as the primary defense.
MMBosstones86

It could work but I really like the "offensive" parry-only system. Together with the Defensive Offense dodge it suits Raiden's character perfectly.

I only played the first MGS on the Vita and couldn't enjoy it cause of the HORRIBLE german voice acting.
I also did, but I'm getting my moneys' worth out of it screenshotting. Which is the purpose I bought it for
That's one of my greatest shames, I keep hearing people talking about it and making a big deal out of the franchise but I only played Rising. It doesn't help that it's confusing which game is the real first and in what order they should be played but most of all I think that if I were to play them I wouldn't have them in such high regards as everyone else due to every other game I've played. Instead I let others show me the significance of those games to them.
I didn't hate it back then. It felt more like the worst of the Final Fantasies than a bad game overall. I wanted to play it again to see if I'd actually like it more now. And once I started, I kept telling myself that once the game picked up, I'd start enjoying it. And then it became, well, once I get to Chapter 11, I'll enjoy it more... And then when I got that far I realized I just wanted to be done with it as fast as possible.
Well I've also played the NES game but I don't count that
I thought those games had pretty much nothing to do with the 3D games.outunderthestars

Can't seem to get an answer in the steam sale thread:does the sale end today at 12:59 or tomorrow at 12:59?
PSX MGS is the first game, play in release order and avoid the GameCube remake at all costs. The two MSX Metal Gears are included in Snake Eater, I heard they're pretty cool especially when you've played the Solid games because those are essentially remakes of the MSX ones. Haven't gotten around to playing them myself yet though.
HÄ? FUSSSSSPURN????
