Super Smash Bros Brawl was the best Metal Gear Game imo
I would kinda say either 4 or Twin Snakes is. Twin Snakes is a remake of MGS1 with the updated gameplay, but that kinda breaks the game, especially a certain bossfight. 4 is cool, but you’re given alot with no encouragement to use it, the game has cutscenes before every mission that are like tv show length.
I know MGS has always been a bit cinematic but it was ridiculous. And the villain group in 4 is kinda wack compared to the 1st 3.
People think 2 is bad when it’s really not. Some people don’t like Raiden in that game becuase he’s a rookie and kinda soft, but I mean what do you expect he’s not a vet. I can’t comment on Peace Walker. But generally 1-4 are all solid, but i feel 4 is the weakest entry from that set
2 and 4 just piss away the story though, they could have made Solidus the major villian of 4 instead of Locelot. Infact going full HAM with nanotech really kills a lot of the atmosphere created in the MGS 1, it kinda went from hard Tom Clancy to fucking Nickelodeon.
Raiden was only ever conceived cause Kojima didnt wanna do sequels, this has been lampooned enough for people to get by now.
DMC2 of MGS is metal gear rising
Hell no that shit would be DmC
Avoid Twin Snakes at all costs.
And miss moments like this?
Dem recessive genes! Need to get Po in here to sort Beta out.
MGR is what will restore your faith in the Metal Gear name, if you lost it after MGS4.
Maaaan twin snakes is not THAT bad. I used to hate it but its grown on me as time passed. Even with its problems twin snakes still tells the story of MGS1 the best one ever made
One thing that makes the graphics better of OG MGS1 is if you play it on psp/vita the smaller screen crisps up the graphics nicely :>
I hate TTS dub. It’s fucking awful.
my only major gripe with TTS is the GrayFox VA change
I hate how everyone lost their accents and personalities. Mei Ling sounded cute and like she really cared about Snake. Yea the accent may have been a bit fobbish but there is no malicious intent there, and it gave her a lot of personality.
For Natasha is sounded cool, and it was fun listening to her talk about stuff. The way she says “Shove a Stinger Missile up his butt” when talking to Snake about how to shoot down the Hind is awesome and hilarious. In TTS she has this boring American voice and listening to her talk about guns, specifications, and the dangers of nuclear weapons is a drag. It’s like listening to a lecture.
Naomi just sounds bored as a mother fucker. It is very clear Jennifer Hale was not interested in doing this again because she phoned that shit in.
I don’t even understand why they needed to rewrite and redub like every fuckin Codec call. I get the cut scenes, but the codec? I don’t see it.
After that my complaints become nit pickey as fuck, but I don’t like the script changes, a lot of lines are just flat out worse then before, and some are completely ruined imo. Liquids line about hunting jackals and the types of dogs they use is an amaaazing line in the original, but the change they made isn;t just not as good as the original, but it’s actually bad. Uhg.
But hey that’s me, I love MGS1, I even think the graphics have aged great. I think the game has a super unique, really gritty, really atmospheric look and it holds up.
shrug
MGS2 was actually one of the more interesting entries for me since it had some surrealism going and shit went down like a David Lynch movie from a certain point on. Game was good, hated it on release though.
MGS4 is hot garbage aside from the Metal Gear vs Metal Gear fight and the fist fight at the end. Not the worst game in the world but trying to make all the shit from MGS2 canon and trying to tie up EVERY lose end Kojima clearly didn’t think through, made the game horrible from a story perspective.
Also holy fuck the bosses are so boring and don’t have any personality. Even worse than Dead Cell.
Talking about charismatic bosses and memorable fights, MGS1 is the only one that got it right and over the course of 4 sequels all Kojima came up with was The End (The Sorrow maybe if you consider that a fight) and The Boss everyone else sucks.
Mind if I ask what you didn’t like about dead cell? Personally they are my favorite group of bosses from the series with a very close second place being MGS3.
FOXHOUND was by far the best group of bosses.
4’s “group” was ASS
its just some random-ass hoes in suits thats it. nothing cool about any of them.
dead cell was such a cool name for such a weak group…and mgs2 is my fave. but foxhound was infinitely better
Hard to beat the classics. Sniper Wolf and Psycho Mantis alone would solidify such a spot. The only underwhelming one was Raven but every group has to have muscle and he got to do it in two different ways.
Really it’s a matter of who’s fighting for second. Dead Cell, The Cobra Unit or Maverick LLC/Winds of Destruction. MGS4 has the fun honor of being in last place though.
oh and all I was saying is twin snakes is not a fucking replacement for the original mgs1 game. you can still play ts but AFTER you played the real mgs1 game. it was alright I guess but they did ruin the game by adding bunch of extra/unnecessarily bullshit and changing voices.
