RE: Metal Gear Solid
I have this really sweet comic book of MGS, air brushed by an artist named Ashley Wood (I believe). It's one of my most prized possessions and only comic series I own the complete set of. Also still have my original copy of MGS for the PS1! Thought you may appreciate that :)
dude, I love you. #same everything you said, including the crush on Wolf.
She was the first game character to break my heart! I have a smile btw, thanks for noticing. I got so much love for this series...
IMO one of the coolest stories and list of characters ever created! He's got his own unique feel to his work, you know? Over the top characters, crazy powers and personalities, government espionage/conspiracy and a subtle dose of humor. A student and I were just talking yesterday how Snake is probably the only dude to look cool with a mullet. I do miss David Haters (forgot how to spell last name), but Keifer does alright as a voice actor I suppose. I heard Hideo is going to do one last game true to the series after his contract is up with Konami? I feel like I heard something like that. The series has been a little watered down, but still fun. I enjoyed Ground Zero and Phantom Pain, but they were kind of lacking in story.
I agree they were a let down in the story department, which's a shame since the technical capabilities at that point were so mind blowing I still haven't seen a game with that level of quality or attention to detail, it was also very fun and addicting to play but I don't feel the pull to replay it that I have towards MGS1, 2 or 3. I wonder how much of market pressures influenced business decisions that effected the final creative output (which is ridiculous I know since the creative is usually what fuels the business as we saw in MGS1 and 2.
I do miss David Hayter's voice for Snake too.
I didn't know he's going to do one last metal gear. It will be cool if they produced the Fire of the Flies chapter in the Phantom Pain, have you seen that?
in terms of antagonists, MGS1 had my favorites!
How about you?
I have not heard of the Fire of the Flies chapter! I will look into this. I would have to agree on the antagonists, too, with a close second to Snake Eater. Between Revolver Ocelot, Raven, Sniper Wolf, Liquid and (especially) Grey Fox, they were some of the most memorable bad guys.
sorry I mistyped, I meant to say Lord of the Flies. (sorry long hours at work recently got my brains all jumbled up.) Revolver Ocelot is the only one who witnessed all of the games, like a boss. :]
I'd love a gray fox prequel, how sick will that be? like a ninja stealth game involving him with some espionage, oooooffff!!!! and are you calling Gray Fox a bad guy! 💔
it's so sad knowing they never got around to finishing this
Wow this was really cool! I always wondered what Eli was going to get into after he escaped the base. I'm pretty sure he's Liquid Snake, and it would be cool to get more back story. You are right about Gray Fox, too. MGS does a great job at blurring the lines between good guys and bad guys. Besides, I guess he does help you defeat metal gear
I felt the same way about a lot of the villains in MGS1. Sniper Wolf's character was so tragic and I almost hated Snake for killing her.
while driving today though, I started thinking about the Boss and I think she is definitely my ultimate favorite antihero (probably of all time)
There's also Eva from MGS3. ugh, that guy is a genius at creating these worlds and rich casts.
another great game by him that is under-rated is Zone of the Enders 2, and it is getting an HD remake.
also another one is called Boktai, it was a mobile game that made use of the sun in a very clever way. :]
I loved Zone of the Enders!!!! Such a fun mech game. I never heard of Boktai, though. Knowing who made it, I'm going to have to check it out! I may have to agree with you on THE Boss, too. You think she is so evil the whole time then come to find out she was probably the biggest patriot of them all!
dude, check out the reward for this post. what the worm!
