Actually there's a really nice recap of the entire story on Youtube.com I'm not exactly sure what it was called but let me see if I can find it for you. It really helped me understand the story, even though I've only played MGS2 & 3

edit: no luck....couldn't find it....sorry.


Do you mean this?

Well my friend was telling me if I didn't play the Metal Gear series back in the NES days that I should in order to understand the story better.

Visuals look nice. I don't care if its Green blue red you can't deny how good it looks.

==> well, it is hard to say since we dont know the story of MGS4

but remember lot of people never played to MG on NES (the first 2 episode).

also remember Kojima has said there will be cinematic in game of the ancient episode to allow everybody to understand (for example some cinematic of MGS1/2/3 will pop in the screen and u will be able to see them or pass them if u alreayd know them)



Time to Work !

I hadn't played Metal Gear or Metal Gear 2 before I played Metal Gear Solid. They talked about the stuff that happened in the past in MGS (like with Gray Fox) so that I really didn't feel like there was something I was missing. Oh, and not to mention the briefing clips that helped a little bit to establish some things as well.

However, it was kind of cool to get a chance to go and play it in MGS3: Subsistance.

"too weird" ...

The only weird thing are maybe
- the Cow-mecha but I suppose Kojima will explain them to us during the game
- Raiden killing 10 mecha by himself but since Raiden is "The Ninja Warrior", he is supposed to have extra skills and be vey strong (same for Vampire)
There are also the news "boss" (Mantis/Wolf ..) but since we know nothing about these robots ...

The only important point is to keep Snake as a human being with good fighting skil but that is still vulnerable.

You forgot:

-Psychic guy who can read your memory card

-Bisexual vampire for no particular reason

-Otakon incest

-"It's all a training mission" or whatever

-"They've all been dead for years!"

-"I need scissors! 61!"

-All of the weird stuff in MGS3 (I hated MGS3, so I didn't get more than a few hours into it)

 

The Metal Gear series has always bordered on self-parody. It's not meant to be taken entirely seriously.


 Kojima has always enjoyed breaking the fourth wall, so to speak. You also had to switch controller ports mid-way through the fight so Mantis couldn't read you mind and avoid your attacks.

Why does their have to be a particular reason for Vamp's sexuality? It only got a single line of dialog in MGS2 and it was to explain why he cared about his "Queen" (since he'd been plowing her father before Liquid killed him and sank the tanker while escaping with Metal Gear Ray).

Yeah, Otakon having an incestuous relationship... that was messed up. And to the other poster, no, it wasn't with his little sister. It was with his step mother (his sister's mother), IIRC.

 The "they've all been dead for years" thing is explained in MGS3 and it actually makes some sense.

That was hilarious! The random bits of dialog when the AI was breaking down from the virus were about the only worthwhile dialog in the last two hours of MGS2.

There wasn't a lot of weird stuff in MGS3 at all. It's like someone stepped in and actually edited Kojima. Metal Gear Solid 3 is an amazing game and it makes up for MGS2 in every way possible and even manages to make some sense of what happens in MGS2 via information revealed in the ending. I absolutely loathed everything in MGS2 except for the gameplay itself and MGS3 makes up for all of it.

 You should go back and play MGS3 (pick up Subsistence for the third-person camera).

 Don't forget Mantis asking you to put the controller down while he makes it "dance" by rumbling. Also, when Snake is captured and held in the cell, Naomi asks to place the controller against your arm and says that she'll have the nanomachines make it rumble to help with the pain. 



I turned rumble off, so the game actually skipped both of those segments when I played through it!
