Metal Gear is Awesome and you know it
 

As the "seil likes video games" thread kind of went on a Metal Gear tangent, and I am currently obsessed with Metal Gear Solid, I figure a general thread about the awesomeness that is Metal Gear would be appropriate. Also, please remember to use spoiler tags as not everyone has played every game in the series.

So what's your favorite game in the series? Favorite boss fight? Favorite character? What would you like to see in the future of the series? etc etc etc.


Personally right now my favorite remains to be the first Metal Gear Solid. I swear in a span of a couple weeks I beat it at least three times. It's such a great game. I would really love to get my hands on the remake of it with the improved game mechanics.
Metal Gear Solid 2 was really fun too, my favorite part has to be the Tanker part with Snake. Raiden was alright too, and it was kind of neat to see Snake from a not-playing-as-him perspective.
Currently playing Metal Gear Solid 3 and I am generally enjoying it so far. Not very far yet. I think I'm about ready to go squash some bees or something.
And I very much desire to play Metal Gear Solid 4. I've read some stuff about it and it sounds like it is excellent. Unfortunately as it's pretty much never going to come out on the 360, and I don't have any intention on buying a PS3 (I don't even have a 360 either so...) so the likelyhood of my playing is not looking good. D=

EDIT: Oh yes, and I think my favorite boss fight ever has to be the fight with the Hind in the first game. I love it, and I don't know why.

So yeah, Metal Gear! Talk about it!

I'm going to reinforce my earlier point and say that MGS3 is my favorite and CJ, after you see a bit more of her Eva's whole

thing fits perfectly with her personality.

Favorite part of MGS3 - the absolutely revolutionary The End fight, as well as the fight with The Boss at the end. The surge of music, the flowers, and Boss' just being hardcore badass solidified it.

I've not played the original MGS, only Twin Snakes. Most people were complaining about Snake doing backflips in the cutscenes. So the already cheesy cutscenes were... cheesier? To be quite frank, if people don't like the cheesy moments (of which there are plenty) they shouldn't be playing anyways, and you have to be patient enough to withstand the 50% cutscene content. Occasional Edam makes it more bearable from my POV! :)

MGS2 and 3 were still prone to it anyway.
MGS2: "We've managed to avoid drowning!"
MGS3: *EVA unzips at every opportunity*

Fighting 25 Metal Gear RAYs in MGS2 and the MGS3 chase scene remain my favourite fights of the series.

Oh god, and Ocelot's little gun kata while Snake just kind of stands there and watches.

Yeah MGS has always been HARDCORE REALISTIC UBER INTENSE GRITTY WAR ESPIONAGE mixed in with some fucking batshit loco drama queen with Magneto powers, vampires, and other balls-crazy weird stuff.

I played Metal Gear Solid who knows many times when it came out. Especially the first few hours of the game messing with the guards. It was all weird and wonderful!

Mm, boss? Probably Psycho Mantis as he always cracked me up. In fact I really liked the cast in FOX-HOUND in MGS1.

MGS3 I never played but watched my friend play through it which was riveting. It was like watching a film (If a somewhat surrel one...) Mostly I remember THE PAIIIIIN! being said a lot.

Anybody else when reading the above comics hear all the voices in the style of Metal Gear Awesome?

I actually was gonna say "Seil Likes Metal Gear Solid And Won't Shut Up About It," but I've been talked to about my habits when posting threads afore, so I decided to make a thread everyone could enjoy.

I really like four - stereotypical, yes, but come on: Shadow Moses, the dream before Shadow Moses, the bosses, the music, the end fight with Liquid Ocelot, the way the end fight was handled, everything. It was just pure awesome. The only thing I couldn't quite figure out was Naomi.

But off four, which I feel is going to be a lot of people's favorite, I have to go with three. At first I was totally put off by the amount of menus and having to patch myself up and this and that - and the camouflage system was weird. But then I actually began to play through it and I got to know it and wow. Was a little frustrating at times, but it had a great story, great characters and great game play.

I remember a friend of mine constantly referring to the Pain and the Fear and the Lame and the Queer.

But yeah, I sat through the first two games like I was at a theater and at times couldn't look away. Only game I know that could do that to me.

[Edit] That whole sniper fight in 3 was made of win.

Four was a great movie... Video game? Not so much... Not to say it was bad, but it was a much better movie than it was a video game.

Favorite boss fight is either Psycho Mantis or... Psycho Mantis. He's my favorite, but I haven't played the third game, so maybe it's bosses would be better.

I have to admit that I watch the second part of Metal Gear Awesome pretty much at least once a day. "Damn right I'm gonna hit that" And I always read those comics. XD This person's "Les Enfants Terribles" comics are quite awesome too.


I always liked Psycho Mantis too. It was always fun to get to him and hear what he was going to say to me that time. I love his voice too.



Also guys, I can do nothing but draw Metal Gear fanart what is wrong with me?
