gmaes about sneaking are the best

I have to agree with John on this one. MGS3 subsistence is amazing. There might be games with better stealth (though MGS3 still has really good stealth), but the entire package is simply phenomenal. Few games have a story that can come close to the caliber of awesomeness that is MGS3. My favourite in the series. Exceptional game. Cheers! :smiley:

It was also the game that began my obsession with anything Metal Gear related that has nothing to do with snakes getting their revenge, ops that are portable, or AC!D.

I’ve never been able to get into a MGS game… I think it’s because the idea of vampires on roller skates as legitimate bad guys is a hard thing for me to accept.

So? Half-Life came out in 1998, and it had the best AI anyone’d ever seen up until that time.

And yet you accept a giant floating baby as a legitimate bad guy? Well, I don’t remember Vamp being on roller skates but that would only be the second one. Go play one of the other MGS titles.

It’s a video game. Play it with an open mind.

He was talking about Fatman.

Half-Life wasn’t a stealth game, or a PS1 game.

Didn’t realize that he was a vampire. And yeah, I’m sure that if MGS was made specifically for the PC then it would have better graphics and AI. There were limitations for the PS1 though.

Psyborg is getting the two mixed up.

That’s because no one is. If we’re talking about Vamp, that’s a common misconception. He might act or look like one [and has the name[b]Vamp/b], but he really isn’t. He just regenerates exceptionally fast due to the nanobots inside him (as explained in MGS4). No blaming anyone though, I thought he was a vampire when I first saw him in MGS2 too… He was very convincing :3

God damn I hate how they explained away everything with nanomachines in MGS4, but in the case of Vamp, I guess it’s better than believing that, somewhere in the Metal Gear universe, there exist a colony of sparkling vampires.

Yeah, but that explanation isn’t offered until MGS4. So someone that has only played MGS2 wouldn’t realize that he wasn’t a vampire :wink: .

Especially considering that his name is fucking VAMP! I’m sure anyone would be fooled with evidence like that.

Haha, true that :stuck_out_tongue: . Afterall, I do admit I thought he was one myself as well haha :smiley:

I think everyone thought he was a vampire before MGS4.

All you said was that the only reason that enemies in the MGS games can’t see you unless you’re 6 inches in front of them was because it was 1998. I pointed out that in 1998, Half-Life came out, and enemies can see you from a mile away.

The whole 6-inches thing was also a problem in MGS3, and that came out in 2004. You would think that technology would’ve improved between 1998 and 2004, wouldn’t you?

It was allot more than 6 inches in MGS3.

It wasn’t by much. Though I still loved MGS3, but the AI was some of the worst I’ve ever seen.

It probably has to do with the camo system.

…well… this is shocking.
Since when did ā€œVampā€ mean bisexual?!?!?!
I need to pay more attention to the Codec.
