Metal Gear SOLID Thread: Snake? SNAAAAKE!

There is just no way RAY should ever lose to REX. this isnt a case of street fighter matchup, its a case of RAY being technologically superior in every way conceivable. But oh well, it happened and its done.

You were probably one of those dudes that took pics of the Beauty unit when you defeated their beast counterparts.

Only Foxhound and Dead Cell got fleshed out. MGS3, we knew they were The Boss’s old squad and that’s pretty much it. MGS4 B&B Squad was got you a 15-30 minute codec from Drebin explaining going “they went crazy, imagined animals, when they came to, realized they killed a bunch of people!”

MGS4 had Mt. Snakemore

I can’t stop laughing at this.

what? I didnt know you could do that.

honestly I beat MGS4 once and never played through it again, didnt like it

Mt Snakemore was sick. You did get a little extra backstory on The Sorrow in MGS3. I thought the Sorrow was a pretty clever “boss fight”

What about favorite supporting characters? Campbell? Mei Ling? ParaMedic?

I loved Eva and ParaMedic. Para was one of the last characters with entertaining codec convos imo.

The only thing I wish they would have done with bosses in MGS3 was give more background info on each boss. I like how in MGS1 you could codec the Colonel/Naomi and they’d pretty much give you a full background on each boss. It just made you feel more immersed in the game. In MGS3 here was some background, but not much. You never got to know much about The Pain, The Fear, The Fury, or even The End.

Mei Ling hands down

Plisken was the best Codec, when he fucking answered.

I read some where that The Fury was a Kosmonaut that got badly burnt, I think on re-entry, so much so that he has to wear the suit and that is why his emotion is Fury. That may not be canon so… The Cobra Unit’s mythos is an awesome concept for boss fights, especially in a psuedo-reality set game. They each carried their own emotion into battle and that is what lead them to fight most of them being good motivators: Pain, Sorrow, Fear, Fury, being a fucking Boss. But what the fuck is the “End”?

I guess the same thing is true for Foxhound and they established the whole thing. The Psycho Mantis fight was so smart, HIDEO. Sniper Wolf was kinda of w/e to me, especially because I fought The End first (MSG3 was the of the series I played). Eh I guess I prefer the Cobras to Foxhound, but I bet I am in the minority. Vulcan Raven fight in the freezer >* though still…

Best Support Team is still MGS1

Naomi
Mei Ling
Master Miller AKA LIQUID!
and let’s not forget the gravely reassuring yet stern-when-it-needs-to-be Campbell. Zero aint got shit on Campboss

Go up to the door and press the action button

YES SIR

There is way, way crazier shit that goes on in the MGS universe. Not all that unbelievable if you ask me. Ocelot also a scrub at piloting mechs, obviously. Hasn’t watched enough Gundam anime.

Still doesnt change the fact that that fight was fraudulent. MvC2 Sent should never lose to MvC3 Sent

Otacon and Gray Fox best support

WUT?

CHICKEN BUT NIGGA

I just realized I got the numbers wrong

Just cause Ray vs Rex was designed to be a losing matchup for Rex doesn’t mean it’s unwinnable. Old Snake just outplayed Liquid Ocelot.

Rex looks like it has a huge weight advantage too.

MGS4 is the only one in the series with anything really crazy.
The rest can be crazy but not super duper over the top type shit like the entirety of MGS4.

i understand where nick is coming from. Not only is Ray the anti-Rex, but Rex hadn’t even been touched since Snake fought it. no repairs, no maintenance or anything.

doesn’t bother me but I understand it why it might irk some people

Then I’d probably say you’re fucking retarded because the Big Shell fucking sucks.

That’s if you said it tho

Edit: Man that’s a good point, you just know Otacon made Snake sit through a bunch of Mech Anime cuz they all live on a fucking plane.
