I don’t know, I thought the way MGS2 ends was pretty whacky when it gets into the whole discussion of Arsenal Gear, GW, and the essence of the Patriots. The ending to MGS2 doesn’t really make sense without the larger context that MGS4 provides.
I’m afraid of Campbells voice due to the last segments of MGS2.
Was totally not prepared for that shit
I thought my new new expensive-ass ps2 broke :((
hahaha
I remember my younger brother was deep into a grind session, 3 in the morning or something when he got to that part. delirium + campbell literally telling him he’s been playing too long and to turn off the PS2 freaked him the fuck out. he thought he was hallucinating lol
That’s why MGS2 is awesome. Games trippy as hell and makes you question your own sanity. A lot of parts in MGS2 suck, like the whole design of the Big Shell is awful, the Bomb Defusing is shiiiiiiit, and swimming is only good in Majoras Mask so it does MGS2 no favors. That stupid snipe the laser grid boxes right before the Harrier fight stands out as pretty terrible to. But the way the game plays with your mind is crazy and ultimately makes dealing with those…other parts less of an issue.
MGS4 is much the same way. When Mt Snakemore busts out of the Alaskan Ocean the first time you see something you never even thought you’d ever see and your mind breaks a little as it tries to process it. That shits incredible.
I got a cold chill in my body the first time Campbell told me to turn the game off.
Man, I dont think any game (including MGS) could ever make me feel that way again haha
I was also playing MGS2 at about 2:00 a.m. when the AI started fucking with me. It’s one of my favorite gaming memories.
I also liked that some of the themes (digitization of information, non-genetic human legacy) in MGS2 were timely and relevant, which was pretty rare for a video game at the time.
Go fucking play peacewalker with it’s all vehicle boss fights and see if mgs4 still has it’s worst boss fights title.
tank battles dont count
also, MGS2 is still relevant. especially the speech about the internet being content without context
If tank or any vehicle fight doesn’t count, then PW has the worst boss fights simply because it lacks any boss fights.
I just finishes MGS 2 who the FUCK gave this story the green light? After this I’m surprised any more were allowed to be made.
MGS1 Psycho Mantis and MGS2 Arsenal Gear are some of the greatest gaming moments for me. I was young and didn’t know about it beforehand, holy shit.
I flipped out when psycho mantis told me what other games I play 
Sniper Wolf death…
Gonna stream MGS2 a little later today, btw.
edit: Are image tags not working?
Sniper Wolfs death was pretty damn sad.
I feel worse for Otacon, though
oh man, Sniper Wolf dying was a major bummer. Shes one of my favorite boss’s character wise. I got my ex to cosplay her one year at SDCC :x
Every female Otacon loved ended up dead, pretty much. Poor guy. I’m surprised Sunny even lived.
He don’t need no females when he got Pliskin.
Kind of a shame regardless, i’d figure he’d finally find someone in 4.
