Best Metal Gear poll

there's no way in the game to find out where you get tech specialists other than looking at mission descriptions and interrogating randos, right? the only straightforward way is to look on the web. kind of ridiculous.

it'd be cool if you could tell Ocelot to scout for a sleeping gas specialist or w/e and after a couple outings he'd contact you with a lead

I'm guessing some of these dudes were ones I did extract in particular missions but didn't understand the direct contract system yet.

RIP Solidus :(

playing MGS3. i think it is my pick for the best one overall. there really is a mythical nature to all of the characters in this game. if they were to make a movie based on any of the games this one would be my pick.

just defeated The Fury. he is the Cobra member i think of the least, but the fight is pretty good and his intro/outro cinematics are so cool. i guess his backstory is that he was an early test astronaut? they start playing audio from a test flight right before he kills himself, engulfing himself in a ball of flame, thinking he is coming home to Earth. then he turns into a giant face made of fire.

my fave's still 2 but yeah i love fury's patter. I CAME BACK FROM SPACE.

yeah no game has made me think im tripping like MGS2 has, but MGS3 is just the most solid all-around, and the level design has it beat.

this is either the best or worst news ever

i watched playthroughs of 1 and 2 bc i just straight up suck at these games, and i gotta say at this point i would vote for 2 which blew apart my tiny little mind

I was obsessed with MGS and played it many times, but never even tried the sequels. I'm worried they'd be a letdown.

I'm guessing the movie is going to be completely stripped of everything that makes the game so weird and magical.

Play Phantom Pain. It came out too late to be polled here but it's just the best. And very nicely balanced, difficulty-wise (as I am also kind of shit wrt the old MGS games). See discussion upthread and, I'm sure, elsewhere on the board.

in a way i prefer ground zeroes. it’s almost like an arcade game. same layout +
tweaked objectives = totally different levels. you can do speed runs even.
