Metal Gear SOLID Thread: Snake? SNAAAAKE!

I just saw that footage via IGN.

I. Cannot. Believe. Snake threw that grenade so that Quiet would shoot it into the helo before it went off, to wreck it.
WTF! LoL! And using the inflatable Snake dummy to knock that armored dude off the cliff! LOLOLOL!

The shit that can be done in this game. Holy crap.

~K.

MGS1 through MGS4 only.

Overall, I’d say MGS1 had the best bosses, followed by MGS3. MGS2 had the worst. MGS4’s line-up is pretty bad, too. So MGS1 > MGS3 >>>>> MGS4 > MGS2.[/details]

[details=Spoiler]Boss Groups:
S-Tier
FOX-HOUND

A-Tier
The Cobra Unit

C-Tier
Dead Cell

D-Tier
The Beauty and the Beast Unit

This is pretty much an open and shut case, imo.[/details]

[details=Spoiler]Final Boss Sequences:
S-Tier
The Shagohod -> The Chase -> The Ambush -> The Boss

A-Tier
Metal Gear REX -> Liquid Snake 1 (On REX) -> Liquid Snake 2 (Chase Sequence)
The Microwave -> Liquid Ocelot

B-Tier
Metal Gear RAY Units -> Solidus Snake

These are basically the playable end game events as a whole, not the actual final bosses themselves. To me, it makes more sense to rank them as such. When I think of MGS1’s final boss, I don’t just think of Liquid Snake. I think of Metal Gear REX all the way to the end of the chase.[/details]

[details=Spoiler]Final Bosses:
S-Tier
Liquid Ocelot
The Boss

A-Tier
Liquid Snake

B-Tier
Solidus Snake

For people who bitch at the sequences tier list

[/details]

[details=Spoiler]Support Crew:
S-Tier
MGS1

A-Tier
MGS3

C-Tier
MGS2

D-Tier
MGS4

Open and shut case. A, C and D tier have nothing on the dream team of Campbell, Mei-Ling, Naomi Hunter, Master Miller, Nastasha Romanenko, Otacon, and Meryl. A tier is carried heavily by Paramedic. C tier is like the rest of MGS2–underwhelming. MGS4 should not even be on the list.[/details]

[details=Spoiler]OST
S-Tier
MGS1
MGS3

B-Tier
MGS4

C-Tier
MGS2

Open and shut.[/details]

[details=Spoiler]Ending Theme Songs
S-Tier
The Best is Yet to Come (MGS1)
Here’s to You (MGS4)
Way to Fall (MGS3)

B-Tier
Can’t Say Goodbye to Yesterday (MGS2)

Open and shut.[/details]

[details=Spoiler]Intros
S-Tier
Snake Eater (MGS3)
MGS Theme (MGS2)

C-Tier
War Has Changed (MGS4)

D-Tier
Mission Briefing & Rogue Gallery (MGS1)

One of the few things MGS2 beasted on. Just short of the #1 spot, but Snake Eater too stronk

[/details]

I ranked these based on my first time experiences. All this backtracking through memory lane makes me want to play some MGS1 again. Maybe this weekend I’ll do a hard difficulty/no radar run. Haven’t done that in years.

Tier list so fucking terrible I was caught between wtf and lol, went with the closest one :stilldrinkincoffeenigga:

Unless you also have a tier list to post you can keep it moving

Here is the TGS footage for anyone who missed it:

3 Day MGS Marathon starting tomorrow 9/19, 12pm est/ 9am pst/ 4pm gmt. All nine canon(Big Boss/ Solid Snake) MGS games played in chronological order(MGS3, PO, PW, GZ, MG1, MG2, MGS1, MGS2 and MGS4) at:

Stopped reading when every boss in MGR was listed as the lowest tier.

It’s funny too because Gametrailers have been doing their own Top 10s. And they did a couple for MGS (to note, Music and Bosses). In both they left out MGR because, in their own words “MGR would dominate the top 10. You can’t compete with Rules of Nature”.

It was a joke, you mook

This is a MGS tier list. MGR is not MGS.

game looks swag but really i dont care about this single player stuff feed me MGO please!!!

Come on, you know you wanna watch.

I’m about to put your ass on ignore!!

You don’t want to watch the top five MGS bosses and songs?

Alright, suit yourself. I guess everyone else will enjoy more love for Psycho Mantis.

The master baiter (pause) will not be baited!

Unless that list is:

Psycho Mantis
Liquid Ocelot
The Boss
Liquid Snake
The Sorrow

and the music is:

The Best is Yet to Come
MGS Theme
MGS Saga Theme
Calling to the Night
Enclosure

In any random order, SCREW THAT LIST

You’re literally mad because of two comments that you can easily skip over and pretend didn’t happen.

Even though they did happen.

I’m surprised that The Fury and The Rage ain’t in beta’s top 2 :imaginarycoffee:

Edit: Yo that TGS footage! Quiet looks like a mgs boss but she’s on your side, and that teamwork hnng!

I think Crying Wolf is one of my favorites. It’s hard to actually pick just one, though.

MGSV is going to be a b**** to level up and develop all weapons and gadgets. Peace Walker was a b**** as well, but I think TPP will be an even longer road to reach that 100% plateau.

PW wasnt that bad man, plus it goes swiftly when you play with your buddies, TPP doesnt look like its gonna be as repetitive so theres that

Anybody got info on the base building aspect?
