Yeah, I know. Where have I been for the last four years. Anyway, I finally finished it and JIGGA WHA??? I didn't understand a single bit of that goobledy****. Seriously, what was that? I got the impression that it was quite deep but I don't know what it was saying. And could there BE more cutscenes and Codec conversations. I love the series but they really are more like movies that games. You spend far more time watching than playing.

Re: I just finished MGS2 for the first time.
Ha it may take ya another playthrough or two to get it all but it does halfways make sense and even goes back to MGS1's genome soldiers and stuff. But yeah those games are more of movies then games lol, I still think they should make em into movies, but those would be like 6 hr long movies lol.Everything is a Riemann sum of a lot of nothing. -

Re: I just finished MGS2 for the first time.
I just recently played through MGS2 a second time. I think it's one of those games that if you overanalyze it too much you begin to try to calculate the ammount of acid Hideo took when he was writing the script. Still, there's some honest-to-god philosophical discussion that keeps it from being completely incomprehensible. This is probably the one game that goes right to that fine line between the entertaining side of darker themes and conspiracy theories, and the side of those elements that makes people turn off the game and swear off video games forever.
MGS3 leaps headfirst into the philosophical nonsense right away, though, which kind of scared me away from it in favor of lighter fare, like Ace Combat 5. Still, now that I'm playing beyond the Virtuous mission, I'm begining to think it's probably the best one to date. Nothing like having the enemy look straight at you and not see you, even though you're right in front of them, just blending into the scenery.Comment

Re: I just finished MGS2 for the first time.
I did like the stuff about how each generation passes information like it does genetics. And the nature of digital entertainment, preserving all information, even the most trite useless fluff, is like genetics keeping all the junk DNA intact. Which would halt all evolution. (And please whatever gods exist don't let this turn into another evolution discussion.
) That was really cool. But everything else they said in that hour long movie after the metal gear super burly brawl, ya know all the stuff pertaining to the plot of the game itself and what was really going on, it all made the kind of sense that doesn't. And much like MGS1, the last few words which you get to hear if you sit through the credits, throws the ENTIRE PLOTLINE into question. I want some of whatever Kojima is on cause it's either made him exquisitely brilliant, or maniacally insane.

Re: I just finished MGS2 for the first time.
Basically, Kojima tricked you into thinking you played a game. And then laughed in your face just before beating the final boss....and that's why.Comment

I know he's both, but I figure the drugs only caused one and he was the other to begin with. I'm just not sure which is which.Originally posted by RPGProgrammerI want that Mulan McNugget sauce, Morty!Comment

Re: I just finished MGS2 for the first time.
MGS has been his outlet for completely cluster****ing videogame players. Luckily, MGS3 is a little more balanced in having gameplay mixed with insanity. And a little gayness.Comment

Re: I just finished MGS2 for the first time.
The gameplay is great, yeah. The story is magnificent. Even the insanity is refreshing. But the gayness?
The gayness puts it all together.Comment

Re: I just finished MGS2 for the first time.
You're saying the gayness has a sticky quality?
Interesting.
