    On the subject of Snake's ass:
    In Metal Gear Solid 2, although Raiden was intentionally designed to be appealing to Japanese female players (which is why he looks so bishonen), Kojima insisted on Snake's ass being nicer-looking. I'm not making that up.

      The games all do have strong stories. I hate all the retcons, plot holes and inconsistencies but the raw emotion behind this series is undeniable. That said, this game's story is the biggest mess of them all. If nothing else, why the hell is Shadow Moses still unsecured?

    • @Gadget-Walkmen
      @Gadget-Walkmen Před 6 lety +1

      Kojima's admitted jealously in what? What the hell are you talking? What Jealously is there?
      And Snake's characterization didn't get ruined in any way, it's still the same in 1 and 2. If you honestly except a man to be devoid of emotions and just pull a "cool" attitude from being to end and just be "Macho Man", than that's not a character, that a fucking archetype with no humanizing traits.
      (But I guess you prefer stuff like that given your name and icon)
      And a kid being good with computer trope is something that was a thing before cowboy bebop like in Jurassic Park and in Voltron , so nobody stole anything. And for all the other shit that you pointed out just seems ridiculously. your complaining about that shit in Mgs4, but in MGS 1 and 2 we have otacon crying his ass off, a guy who can summon fucking birds from his mind, and have a BDSM psychic solider man telling you that you like castlevania yet nobody complains about any of that stuff!
      He's writes for all the games he's been director for, and I'm not seeing any reason for why he should stop for the great narratives he's written before. It's practically impossible for anyone to create/director a new game without having any story implications. The only reason way MGS4 narrative is a mess is because it wasn't supposed to exist and Kojima had to come up with answers to questions he never intended. And this game was supposed to finish off the series which is why so many cutscenes are here to address everything.
      You would have known that if you did any background research ,but it seems you don't like to go into any of the research needed to understand why things are the way they are.
      Their are plenty of great narratives that kojima wrote on his own like Policenauts and MG 2: Soild Snake for the MSX. So like I said, what comes off as misinformed.

    It's a shame that after 12 years this game is still a PS3 exclusive. I mean, you can't even play it in PS4! How's that possible??!! In 2008 this was THE PlayStation exclusive! But today it's completely abandoned in that platform. I love this saga but this is the only MGS I haven't played on my own because I never bought a PS3.

  • @ExExister
    @ExExister Před 8 lety +25

    Guns of the Patriots was actually my first MGS game and I can honestly say that I didn't understand probably half of the stuff happening. I understood some things because I had knowledge of the lore from my cousins and general nerdism but many things went over my head. I expected this however and I actually liked Guns of the Patriots. The next MGS game I would go on to play would be Peace Walker which I also enjoyed. I think MGS 4 was a good starting point for me because it allows for a more action oriented approach and I have never liked many stealth games, especially ones where you can't kill guards etc with stealthy means like Deus Ex Human Revolution. I'm also not fond of an overheard camera which was also a reason I avoided earlier MGS games.

    MGS4 was my first Metal Gear game... and I absolutely loved it. I loved it so much, that it inspired me to play the rest of the series, and now MGS3 is my favorite game of all time, with MGS1 and Peace Walker coming close. So, the fact that MGS4 is a huge nostalgia filled flashback trip doesn't mean it's not a good game. Sure, I was totally lost on what was going on in the story and who the hell everybody were, but to be fair, it's the finale to a long running series, and it's technically the 7th game including Metal Gear 1 and 2 and Portable Ops. So jumping into the 7th game in the series without playing the others is bound to leave you asking questions.
    I will say that I feel like the game lacks it's own identity. For example, when you think about any other game in the series, you have a clear idea of what made that game stand out, like MGS3 was in a jungle and you fight the Shagohad, MGS1 was on Shadow Moses and you fight Rex, MGS2 was on Big Shell and you fight Ray, but when you think about MGS4... you think about all the flashbacks. So that's where it's lacking in my opinion.

    Considering that Big Boss also treasured the individual's ability to fight for one's own ideals rather than simply because one was told to as a result of how he was used by his superiors during operation Snake Eater, which eventually lead into him breaking away from the US to form the independent MSF and finally, Outer Heaven, I doubt he'd appreciate the dehumanizing nature of the SOP system where soldiers are nothing but cogs in the automated machine.
