Sheesh, I didn't realize it was such a sensitive subject.

I apologize.


No more or less sensitive than every hissy fit you've thrown when someone challenges FFX's ability to win the contest.

Which at this point reads: none.

Well when it's compounded with two Ulti topics on the board and how you've been acting towards MGS all contest, why are you surprised when people don't know why you're rooting for something?


you make no sense with this. You acknowledge that I've been anti-MGS all contest to the point of saying SEPHIROTH > SNAKE REMATCH every chance I get, and then when the MGS series is getting embarrassed in two straight matches that it should of won easily, I get excited over it and get called a bandwagonner for it?

How does that make sense?

I'll chill out and all, but seriously I've got every right to say HAW HAW SUCK IT MGS a few times.

HAW HAW MGS is a bandwagon. I've never seen so many anti-MGS people on this board in my entire time here. Probably because this is the first time it's safe for them to voice their opinions!

And given that you don't really hate MGS, you just hate that you lose a contest because of Snake (not the same thing), yeah.

ONE HUNDRED VOTE BARRIER ACTIVATED


For what it's worth, if Halo 3 and KH2 are a sign of anything, MGS4 may have a comparatively better ASV than MGS2. Who knows if it will show up indirectly like this (we only really saw the other examples show a preference head-to-head within their own fanbase), but MGS4 may put up a better fight later.

While we're HAW HAW'ing MGS, I'll say this: despite having considered the first three MGS-games among my favorite games of all-time, I tried to replay them all earlier this year and couldn't complete much more than an hour on any of them before giving up. I dunno, something about the series has lost its touch to me.

also MGS4 is holding up well enough now that it can still easily win with the ASV.

Honestly, MGS1 is hard to play nowadays. It really is.

The other three are still fun, at least to me anyway.

Honestly, this applies to SotC way more than the MGS games. It's a great game, but that camera/framerate/other technical difficulties looks just plain embarrassing nowadays. Doesn't help that every game and their mother has gigantic boss fights nowadays.

MGS1 has aged absolutely terribly. It's a shame, too... really is.

Don't see how 3's aged that poorly, though. 2 has a lot of flaws gameplay-wise and has that damn bomb disposal chapter, but 3 should still be, at least, playable.

Ironically, I felt the best replaying this one. Could be nostalgia or just being the first MGS-game I tried replaying, but it still holds for me. Then again, I still feel good playing Goldeneye/PD on the N64 too.

Yeah, if AC1 was stronger or even the same as AC2, Zelda:WW would not be in good shape. =P (I mean, it would lose to MGS2!)

Apparently AC1 will not be much stronger than ICO in the final stats, though, which will be interesting.

Glad to see Shadow of the Colossus performing respectfully in the contest. Easily one of the best games ever made, and certainly better than any Metal Gear title outside of Metal Gear Solid.

Yeeeeeah that's 100% nostalgia. Goldeneye is unplayable nowadays, and this is coming from someone who enjoyed playing it again.

I played the game for my first time earlier this year, and I enjoyed it quite fine despite already knowing how to kill most of them (watched my brother play it a few years ago). I've even been itching for an excuse to play it on Hard Mode lately.

Flawed, yes, but it's held up anyway.

Granted, I haven't played it single player in ages.
