I take less offense to people not liking 2's story and more to people saying 3's story was good. Or that it had a story

There's no sense of urgency in that game.

When does MGS2 have one apart from timed missions?

Which suck, by the way.


Timed missions always suck period, that's not the point. In 1/2/4, you were rushing to stop "terrorists" from nuking something. In 3, "Volgin could mass produce [Shagohods] tomorrow if he wanted."

Great, why doesn't he?

MGS2 did the espionage part excellently.

The big shell's plot was for the most part fine until the Patriot BS came into play.


Totally disagree. From the point you meet Johnson until the ending, arguably the best stretch of gaming ever made.

I wasn't honestly assuming those things (though I think they are legitimate claims, but I take your point about sprite Snake), I just love the idea of ridiculous and awesome upsets occurring. And I want Crono to look as good as possible.

I don't recall there being a problem with the rest of the game sans the slow start, which is admittedly a problem, but nothing major.

In other news, if we assume MissingNo. > Pikachu and Snake > Sephiroth, then awesomeness ensues tomorrow night.

Keep in mind this is sprite Snake. Even if Snake was stronger than Sephiroth in a fair match, I wouldn't take sprite Snake to win.


This reminds me that I'm quite interested in seeing how Sephiroth does with his picture. Characters seem to do really well with a picture of what they actually look like in their game, and I don't think Sephiroth's had an in-game shot like this before.

I think he looks great, personally. Especially with the Masamune extending off-screen.

I'll take one dimensional Cobra Unit over the B'n'B unit any day, where all their development comes from five minutes of exposition from Drebin after you beat them. That was neither interesting nor fun, and didn't affect my view on the characters in the slightest.

Well, I was referring to the middle of the game!

Although I'm personally a fan of slipping on bird poop and shooting pigeons in retaliation! Seriously, MGS2 had so many fun little nothings you could do everywhere you went. It's the only MGS game in the series where I'll take the gameplay over the story.

Fatman was unintentionally hilarious, and actually menacing(outside the fight I mean. Rollerblading demolitionist fatty fight is lol). Vamp at least caused the saddest scene in the game, along with the best case of poetic justice in the game as well.

Fortune can go eat a bowl of dicks.

There have been seven matches so far where the character winning at the freeze didn't end up winning the match:

Wesker/Ken
Phoenix/Jecht
Crono/Missingno
Dante/Ryu
Yoshi/Missingno
Ness/Big Daddy
Pikachu/Snake

And we could potentially get three in a row, depending on how Squall/Auron and Seph/Missingno go!
