And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.
I'm so glad this gets archived. My sides still hurt LOL
The chat is half the fun though

lol, basically. The Cobras' lack of individual backstories doesn't seem so bad in comparison.
Turns out "I CAME BACK FROM SPACE!" was all I really needed.

Not for me, I think they fixed that issues plays smooth all the way through for me.

I remember being able to download Twitch streams some time ago. I found it on Google search.
Something that's really undervalued in MGS2 are the plethora of VR missions added in with Substance. Yes, it is a lot of added content overall, but after putting 50+ hours and getting 96% of them completed I understood a lot more tricks and exploits that I never knew existed. Playing with and manipulating the AI never gets stale in MGS2. Almost all the sneaking missions can be completed without doing what that VR mission set out for the player to actually do.
Learning which direction guards rotate to run right past them briskly, being inches away from a guard and using their own movement to sneak past, using noise and getting past guards without waiting for any period of time. The VR missions really do make you a better soldier or spy. Of course completing them just to complete them won't help much, but "breaking" MGS2 and using every oddity and mechanic to your advantage is exhilarating.
So whenever a random person trashes MGS2 it's hard for me to take them seriously, because the design of MGS2 itself is brilliant. The narrative, themes, and motifs elevate it even more.

Just put in the archive link, problem is only 30 min at the time sadly.
You can download the entire videos with a few firefox plugins though.
It's amazing to me, that game must have been written in 1999/2000 and is so relevant to today. Best MGS game.
No other videogame comes close to seizing what the beginning of the 21st century could or would be like. It's not that Kojima and his team got all the details right, it's how he presented those details and ideas through gameplay itself.
MGS as a series is inherently replayable. Well, except for MGS4, the pacing issues the series has as a whole get amplified when it comes to MGS4.
You can download without problem with jDownloader. Just insert video link, and he will download all video archives of that stream [30min chunks]. I downloaded MGS3/MGS2/MGS4 runs that way. Strangely, only MGS2 was recorded in HD [500megs per chunk].

All unjustified hate due to raiden
Oh, the hate is very justified, but it's a good game in spite of him.
I typically have only been watching 3dogg stream, but watching uKnighted play now and he just seems really bored. I like watching 3dogg because he legitimately seems really into any part of Metal Gear he's playing, and that enthusiasm (as well as his amazing skills) is infectious. I'm really excited for MGSV after watching all of his playthroughs.
Threedogg doesn't really dig MGS4 as much as the other MGS's as well, they both are really apathetic towards MGS4.
Apathetic would be a nice word for what they think of it.

omg when she was hauling ass up the stairs it actually kinda scared me lol
A game starring The Boss during her WW2's exploits sounds awesome on paper, but there would have to be a lot of work done to make it work. For it to be considered part of the "Metal Gear" franchise it needs some sort of Metal Gear, and a Metal Gear existing in the 40's would be really bizarre. Of course it could be a spin off of Metal Gear without Metal Gear being part of the game itself.
It could work though, German engineers might've figured it would be best if something as significant as a Nuke would have to be guarded by something advanced and menacing. Germany was also naturally cornered in WW2, so for them to launch a nuke they would have to deliver the nuke by forcing themselves onto certain territory. The Boss's top secret mission would be to secure design notes on nuclear weaponry and destroy the main delivery method of said nukes (Metal Gear).
She gets the engineer notes and designs of German nuclear weapons, destroys Metal Gear, and then with the information she gets the United States development of nukes gets sped up drastically. She's deemed a hero and patriot, but The Boss then feels deep regret after the United States uses nukes on Japan.

Considering the number of experimental weapons the Nazis developed towards the end of ww2, that's a hell of a lot more plausible than a self-aware AI in 1974.
