I agree that MGS is one of the greatest series for the PS systems and I read the MGS4 Database DLC, it really helped me understand the plot.

Mgs 1 = Amazing
Mgs 2 = Mind blowing Story , Crap lead Character
Mgs 3 = Cool Twist, Hardest of the series, Lots of needless changing of camo
Mgs 4 = Epic game, too much dialogue, Octocamo FTW

Not a fan of MGS, sorta liked 2 but the others are just too boring.

Deffinate hype, back with my old ps1 on the first game i got to the bit where you fine the radio channel on the back of the booklet for the game and i’d lost the booklet, ruined the games for me. But the dialogue was just painful

Yawn indeed

Couldnt get past the first 100 (slight exageration but you know what i mean) hours of dialogue before i even got to play the damn game

I had not played any MGS until MGS4 and I thought it was bloody brilliant. In fact I’ve strated playing through it again recently and me playing game through again a second time is unheard of.

I mean I know I shouldn’t judge really, but surely it can’t be entirely me if a series I previously really enjoyed fails to grab hold of me, drag me into a store and wave the game in my face yelling “THIS! BUY THIS!” and then takes the money from my wallet and pays.

I don’t like to ever judge a game too quickly.
I hated Prince of Persia all the way through it. Then I played it a second time and LOVED it. I platinumed it and STILL want to play it again.
Had I gone with my gut instinct, I would never even have reached the half way point.
I did judge DJ Hero the other day, but, like Guitar Hero, I’m sure it’ll get better if I get used to it.

I’ll judge if I want to *glowers*

Also if they didn’t grab me surely I should judge. If I liked 1 and 2 and was turned off by 3 and 4 maybe they’re doing something wrong?

Three has the best stealth and bosses in any game in my opinion. It had you hiding in plain sight, but in camouflage, so you were literally right under a bad guys nose, and you were holding your breath waiting to see if he would spot you.
Also, you haven’t played the fourth! Don’t judge! It’s all about the complete experience. Not just a playtest.

The fourth game is my favourite game of all time.
Never loved a game so much!
The gameplay, story, music, voice acting, it was all perfect.
I understand the story and cutscenes might not be for everyone, but I think there’s nothing better!
Fantastic characters! And it was so involving. That microwave corridor scene!

Don’t have a PS3 (or a PS2 at the moment come to think of it).

By: Raen

Yeah but it’d be more of a re-design really to change everything. I’d just like to see a port and keep original graphics. Retro games should stay retro.

Are any of the PSP MGS games any good?

By: bajere

bajere — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:30:21 +0000

errr yea, thats y i said re-build re-release.lol

By: bajere

bajere — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:16:49 +0000

the jump back in time helped with the story, and also gave more meaning to MGS1 and 4…you should really pick up the whole lot and play from start to finish. reviews and write ups are never the same as playing

Well the originals were top down so they’d be kinda weird to play on the MGS4 engine. I’d just like to see them rereleased
