500+ hour Metal Gear marathon on Twitch started today

Wait, I just tuned in again. Did he do the whole if someone donates $1K+ I will play twin snakes thing again? And someone actually donated it?

edit: Reading past msgs sounds like that's the case, oh lawd, sad I missed that live now!
 
The entirety of the last like, 5 minutes are just absolutely marvelous.

"This is good... isn't it?

Sigs I made after beating 4 in 2008.

It's rather funny that this stream made me realize that...yeah, Guns of the Patriots is a mess...and yet...

Like Kojima himself said, don't obsess over words so much. The emotional payoffs with MGS4 still make the game great, at least for me.
Is that some warning he's trying to say with 5?

Don't know anything about 5, it's a quote from the ending of 2.
 
About this part, since it's the little robot that use the virus, was there any justification behind having snake go through the microwave corridor ? It's not like he had to shield the robot or anything.

There were those little robots in the server room he had to shoot to defend the Mk. III

MGS4 has story problems imo but that microwave hallway isn't one of them. It's actually a pretty neat torture substitute. 3 of the games have electrified hallways so an electrified corridor isn't much of a stretch.
 
Rewatching the beginning of the drk stream. Dear Lord, watching Akiba shit himself to calling in the night may be the most amazing thing I have seen
 
The amount of times the alert noise happens when someone subs/resubs and it fits perfectly with what's going on in the stream is amazing.
 
MGS3 bosses are so cheesy, almost as cheesy as MGS4 bosses.

I hate that Ginyu Force flip that Pain does. And how he yells TOMMY GUN or GRENADE. Jesus. Such a stupid character.

I like all the other COBRA members. Especially the Fury who is just ridiculous and death metal personified. Whoever voice acted the Fury is a badass.

"The voice actor for The Fury, Richard Doyle, would later provide the voice of Big Boss in Metal Gear Solid 4. "

That's why he's so awesome :)

Edit - also cameoed as the host of the 7th Circle game show during the commercials sequence in the beginning of the latter game

I've been playing Ground Zeroes to try to 100% it before TPP while I watch/listen to the stream, and occasionally the various noises end up freaking me out.
 
Is there anyway to watch something like this from the beginning? Or at least in the time they were released?
 
Volgin is the worst Villain. This guy spills out all his secrets for no reason. Snake doesn't even know what the hell was the Philosopher's legacy in the torture scene. This guy blabs out everything about it. It's pretty funny.
 
Seems like Drk29 gets the highest donations. Well deserved since he saved the stream so many times by being backup and he checked into a hotel for 14 days just for this marathon.
 
You could give him that excuse in MGS4 but my GOD he was terrible in peace Walker

even in Peacewalker, I could justify it. Peace walker is supposed to be the beginning of the turn for Big Boss. He's supposed to be evil.

Now, looking back at it, with adding ground zeroes and phantom pain, it makes no sense. But at the time, to me, it makes perfect sense for Big Boss to stop being naive, and start becoming "Cobra Commander", for lack of a better analogy.
 
The issue with Hayter in MGS4 and PW isn't the sound of his voice (okay maybe it is in PW to an extent because you can clearly tell Hayter is struggling to hit even the same tone as MGS3 which is supposed to be the same character), it's the voice direction and lack of any real emotion put into the acting. It all falls very flat most of the time, especially in mission briefings (see: the exchange between Snake and Raiden before Act 4 -- terribly delivered lines that is supposed to be for an emotional moment between the two characters).

There is actual emotion behind the voice in MGS1-3 -- 4, PO, and PW lack any real emotion and... acting.
 
Everyone complains about his voice in MGS4 but I don't get it, he's supposed to sound half dead.

He sounded a bit overdone, if that makes any sense. It's still fine when Snake speaks low.

With Peace Walker the gruffness just became weird for a man of BB's age. It was as if he'll turn into a werewolf any moment now. The change in voice is a bit too much for just 10 years between MGS3 and Peace Walker.
