I made a tribute to the Metal Gear Solid series and put it on youtube. It is basically the "Metal Gear Saga" theme set to synchronized clips of every game in the series. I wanted to share this video with the community to see if there are any MGS fans out there.

I like it. I'm an MGS fan too. :happy:

What is your favorite game in the series? I think MGS1 is the best and 2,3,4 tie for second, and all the spin offs tie for 3rd. :turtle:

I love Metal Gear Solid it's hard to pick a favorite, 3 had some cool features, like having to eat and healing your self but 4 had the best equipment and environment. But at the same time I liked the simple-ness of 1
I would guess it would go: 4,3,1,2 and I've played Ac!d and Peace walker but not as much as I should.

And I love how you put Scream by Avenged Sevenfold at the credits of your video, mixed my 2 favorite things: MGS & A7X :goodjob:

Yeah, I loved eating Snakes in MGS3 :wink_smile:

I don't understand why everyone doesn't like MGS2 as much as the other games though I like Raiden no matter what they say and MGS2 had the thickest plot of the games.

And Avenged Sevenfold is my favorite band by the way :mohawk:

"And it seems I am buried alive..."

I think that the biggest problem with MGS2 was that virtually the entire game took place in the same structure, involved covering so much ground that you had already been over 2-3 times, and the story was so outrageously convoluted (yes, even more-so than the story of the entire series).

Yes, the plant was all you were on the whole game. I still loved it very much.

Needs more Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 D:


Tanker?

Nice video. Snake Eater is by far my favorite, followed closely by Metal Gear Solid. About the only game in the series that I didn't care for was Portable Ops. The PSP's nub and limited camera controls made sneaking a bit troublesome and I wasn't really sold on the idea of recruiting people. AC!D was a surprisingly good take on strategy though and I really should get around to playing AC!D 2 and Peace Walker.

Not sure what to think about Rising. Kinda wish Kojima would leave MGS be for now and go make a new Zone of the Enders and then port Snatcher to a system more accessible than Sega CD, not necessarily in that order. Snatcher looks amazing, but the game and a Sega CD are mighty pricey.

2 was good but it was just wasn't as fun, tho 2 has a special nostalgia to me cause it was the first MGS game I played. However while playing it I remembered when I was younger, watching a friend of my parents playing 1 and I use to like watching him play it but never tried my self but just around the time I finished 2, they re-released 1 for the GC so I got it and loved it.

"you should of known, the price of evil and it hurts to know that you belong here, yeaaah"


I've been saying this since I've heard of Rising: I really think it should be called Metal Gear Rising NOT Metal Gear solid: Rising. Since this is a sort of spin off and is involving Raiden the most they should take "Solid" out, kinda like when they added "solid" to the name when they leaped from Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid.

Well Kojima is hardly involved in Rising. A new ZOE would be awesome. Hopefully it will be one of the two rumored games he will reveal this years E3. Also, snatcher and Policenauts will probably never see english release.

You know what I loved?
Metal Gear Online for MGS3S. I wish Konami would release it as a PSN game or something, but that's never going to happen.

Next to God of War, Metal Gear is another game series I love :wub: .

I remember playing MGS on the first playstation when I was like 10 years old or something, still remember sneaking around in a box lol.

Haven't played any MGS since then. Are recent titles PS3/2 exclusive?

I never got into MGS. Played MGS2 a little, and enjoyed it, but it wasn't great, in my opinion. I respect it though as a solid series.

I love the Metal Gear Solid series, definitely some of my favorite games. As much as I do love them, I still haven't managed to complete MGS 4 yet, which is a shame because I'm sure I'm missing some great stuff. Also, as much as I really do not like Raiden, I'd still say that MGS 2 is one of my favorites. I believe MGS 2 was one of the first PS2 games I played, so it holds a special place :nod:

Ive only beaten 4, 3 times but the last 2 times I did it I did it without getting caught on Hard
I've beaten 2 only twice
I've beaten 3 quite a few times
and 1 at least 10 times

Would be awesome. That is the only MGO I haven't tried/played. Portable Ops is supposed to be very close in style, but... yeah. There is always that glitchy mess that is MGO on the ps3(which I enjoy playing even though it's great flaws).

I liked 2 and 3 the most, 3 slightly more. 4 was too much of a movie for my tastes. And I haven't played 1.

I think the MGS series is very mixed. There are some games I enjoyed greatly and others I enjoyed not so much.

MGS1 <- Brilliant
MGS3 <- Quite fun
MGS4 <- Not really recommended unless you rather watch a film than play a game.
MGS2 <- Absolutely horrible (such a shame too, considering the E3 2000 trailer was absolutely brilliant)

Back during the NES games, Metal Gear (and Bionic Commando) were my favorite games for it too ^_^

In any case, I think I'm done with the series now. My interest in the characters and it's universe died with MGS4 and I very much doubt I will buy any of the future games. It has clearly not been developed in the direction that I would have wanted.

What I want Konami to do now is a new Suikoden and a new Zone of the Enders

In order of best to least favorite

MGS3
MGS4- if you take out all the the cutscenes the game is way to short
MGS1
MGS2- just couldnt get into it.

Why? I see lots and lots of people dislike mgs2, but I never quite got why they dislike it so much. Sure I get that people don't like Raiden and that the story got a bit too twisted near the end. Other than that it improved many things from the first solid title, like shooting in first person to name one. Gameplay-wise it's better than the first one. This isn't only pointed at you Freddo, but I would want all of you who don't like mgs2 to answer why you don't like it.

I loved MGS2. I don't see anything except naked Raiden wrong with it.

It was an excellent game with the added bonus of film-like cutscenes IMO (ignoring the occasionally silly story that I've come to love from the series). Excluding a few pivotal moments, I thought the length of cutscenes was mostly exaggerated, with plenty of gameplay in between.

I do love the story though, so I guess even the lengthier scenes don't bother me much.

I am a veteran of the mgs series and MGS4 blew me away all the more since I've played the older ones.

The original Metal Gear had so many flaws...just watch the Angry Video Game Nerd episode on it :rofl:
But its still a classic
