500+ hour Metal Gear marathon on Twitch started today

Just began watching... What is he/she doing? Seems to be just screwing around. Which is fine, but is there a goal? Easter eggs?

Yeah it's all with a goal in mind. The plant kicking I think was basically him showing off the engine and how advanced it was for its time. Most times he's doing things which trigger unique Codec conversations, or finding easter eggs.
 
Sounds like drk got first dibs on debuting TPP on the uKnighted channel.

He probably deserves it considering he's been the lifeblood of the OHN community but wish it could've been ThreeDogg since his analysis is usually the best, imo.

drk said that he would be turning over to ThreeDogg for GZ right? Wouldn't that put ThreeDogg in position to stream PP first?
 
Never ceases to depress me how accurate that final codec conversation is. Society fucked up :(

The game can certainly be defined as a zeitgeist of the early 2000s. They actually changed a lot of stuff right before release due to 9/11.

Wikipedia said:
Significant changes to the game's ending were made late in development following the September 11 attacks in New York, where the finale occurs. A sequence depicting Arsenal Gear's displacement of the Statue of Liberty and crashing through half of Manhattan was removed, as was a short coda to appear after the credits, a breaking newscast showing the Statue of Liberty's new resting place, Ellis Island. At the point where Solidus dies, Raiden was supposed to have cut the rope on Federal Hall's flagpole, causing an American flag to fall over Solidus' body, and American flags that were supposed to be on all the flagpoles in New York were removed from the title.[42] More recently, Kojima revealed that the name "Raiden" was spelled in kanji rather than katakana due to the latter form of the name resembling "Bin Laden" in Japanese.
 
Something about MGS4 is really unappealing to watch sadly, only game I cant catch on the stream.
 
When does twitch allow TPP streams?

I'm wondering this too.

All they have said so far is this I think:

Not sure what timezone though as that's pretty important. Can't believe they didn't mention one. Really confusing.
 
Ground Zeroes again? Last I checked (last night) they were in the middle of MGS2.

They finished MGS2 and Dogg went straight in to GZ. Not sure if they're playing MGS4 as the release time for the TTP may come before they finish it. Looks like they're in full TTP hype mode now until release.

Edit - Yeah he just said they're doing GZ now because they may be able to stream TTP in 6/7 hours.
 
First time actually listening to the tapes was their last GZ run, thats some dark dark stuff with Paz and Chico, honestly never realised the MGS series went to those places or how sure I feel about that, all the other games give off this campy semi serious feel.
 
The use of the word, "Huh?" in MGS is so awkward. It reminds me of all the strange startled/confused sounds from guards.

The other games don't go that dark. Hell, I can't think of many games ever that approach that vile stuff. I know I could have done without the detailed account of the horrors they were apparently subject to and it's strange to have that stuff juxtaposed with all the silliness.

GZ and I assume TPP are the darkest (though possibly not most depressing) games in the series. The main mission of GZ also keeps a fairly serious and consistent tone throughout, as opposed to rapidly switching between serious and funny moments on a dime.

IIRC I think there was an article where Kojima says that he wanted to keep a lot of the goofier elements separate from the serious moments so the side missions have more humor than the main story.

In MGS1's good ending, it's implied that Ocelot raped Meryl.
 
lmao just slamming a fourth passenger onto the jeep and letting game physics carry him on the car trip.

Anytime I've played GZ and extracted a ton of prisoners that's how I did it after I saw Dogg do it LOL. It's great. I hope it still works in TPP (for when you need to evac a base to get to a safe distance away to fulton them away).
 
Ocelot says something along the lines of "ill get rid of her after i have a little fun".
But it could also mean that he tortured her because of the time and place where he says it.

My memory is kinda fuzzy on this one.
She talks about being tortured and worse. The worse can be implied to be rape.



Oh, okay... This is what happens when I look at the thread right after I wake up. I read it as she had been raped by Otacon, not Ocelot.

Yes, OK, I accept your explanations.

Well Otacon DOES have the stealth camo...

Not to mention the weapon to surpass Metal Gear: The infamous Dick of Death.
