tl;dr: dumb ign is dumb and they think the ladder scene in mgs3 is weird.

 

[Original Man]

And this is why I love mgs

 

[CambriaRising]

Only 41?

 

[Storm Raider]

How could OP get the title of the thread wrong?

These are clearly MGS's 'GREATEST' moments.



Especially 12.

 

[Vire]

How is the ladder scene only #12?

Oh right.. Metal Gear.

 

[kamineko]

I approve of this list, though, sentimentally, "scissors" is my favorite

 

[Maddocks]

somethings on the list are head scratching.

Sunny cooking eggs while reciting elements from the periodic table. - How is this weird? can't do two things at once?

Snake crawling through a microwave tunnel. - Just shows you how badass snake is to be able to survive that.

 

[brandonh83]

List is weird, like #40 should be nearer the top for example.

 

[brian!]

a dud

 

[criesofthepast]

I admit I turned off my PS2 when the colonel went crazy in MGS2 with Raiden and kept telling me to shut off the system. I was young, tired, and had been playing all day because I did not own a memory card at the time and had to marathon the game if I wanted to beat it.

So yeah, I turned off my PS2 and when I turned my PS2 on to see I had to start from the beginning and realized I'd been trolled and was an idiot...mmm I died.

Next day speed ran that shit and got back there within 3-4 hours.

 

[LowlySmokeGuy]

Shocked that the Johnny and Meryl scene from MGS4 isn't there.

 

[Kyou]

*ctrl f "Mt Rushmore of all the snakes on top of a submarine"*

List is a failure

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

No mount Snakemore?

 

[malfcn]

That's a lot of bat shit, and there could be more.

 

[akidnamededdy]

*ctrl f "Mt Rushmore of all the snakes on top of a submarine"*

List is a failure

Seriously how does this happen

 

[brandonh83]

Yeah it's just IGN list listin' that's all. They rarely ever make a lick of sense.

 

[Vire]

Shocked that the Johnny and Meryl scene from MGS4 isn't there.

You could probably do a top 100 list for this series tbh.

 

[Boogalogist]

Weird? Those are all awesome!

 

[Hoje0308]

41? Bit on the nose, no?

 

[GDJustin]

The moments aren't ranked FYI - just numbered.

 

[Chairhome]

What about Pooyan? Probably more awesome than weird.

 

[The Last One]

Screaming Mantis pretending to reset the game is kinda weird too.

 

[KOMANI]

How did the ball grabbing salute from mgs2 ang mgs3 not make the list

 

[Hoje0308]

How did the ball grabbing salute from mgs2 ang mgs3 not make the list

Or just about anything Volgin said or did. Putting dudes in barrels before punching them with bullets in your hands, anyone?

 

[RangerBAD]

By "weirdest" do they mean "awesome"? Most of them are awesome, except Nude Raiden.

 

[The Last One]

Another weird one is snake breaking the statues's penis.

I love this series.

 

[antitrop]

Sunny cooking eggs while reciting elements from the periodic table. - How is this weird? can't do two things at once?

I mean, unless you're cooking breakfast right before an upcoming Chemistry exam, I think it's pretty weird.

I have no idea who Sunny is, but it's definitely weird out of context.

 

[Hoje0308]

That's a lot of bat shit, and there could be more.

I haven't played most of the games in years and I can still think of many that weren't listed.

 

[Ridley327]

41 seems like a weird number to cut it off at, especially when there are so many more notable examples.

 

[brandonh83]

I mean, unless you're cooking breakfast right before an upcoming Chemistry exam, I think it's pretty weird.

I have no idea who Sunny is

Oh well, in context it's not weird.

 

[KOMANI]

The b&b corp
Dancing to specific songs off the iPod? The iPod?

 

[antitrop]

Oh well, in context it's not weird.

I haven't played MGS4, but I definitely played all of MGR. I didn't even remember her character from that game, until I looked it up in a wiki. Eh.

 

[Sub_Level]

Sunny is a savant.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

41 seems like a weird number to cut it off at, especially when there are so many more notable examples.

Should've went to 61.

 

[dugdug]

I don't know, guys. I think vagina bomb deserves a spot.

 

[Vire]

I don't know, guys. I think vagina bomb deserves a spot.

This is weirdest moments - not worst.

 

[KOMANI]

I don't know, guys. I think vagina bomb deserves a spot.

This should be first, and foremost
What about "infinite ammo" bandanna

 

[dugdug]

This is weirdest moments - not worst.

I think putting a bomb in a vagina is pretty weird. But, yeah I get what you mean.

Maybe on a "most disturbing" list.

 

[Glix]

Thread reminds me why I love these games so much. Add Rising and you would have a bunch more lol

 

[lord_lad]

The weirdest moment for me involves Otacon has his antics

~ "Snake, can love blossom on the battlefield?" A WTF moment for me

~ "I have a relationship with my stepmom, while my dad commited suicide knowing this. Also my stepsister and me has some sort of thing going on too. But for some reason, i still cant talk to woman."

~ "I fucked Naomi in MGS4. Yet, i still have no confidence to talk to women."


What the fuck is wrong with Otacon? I'll be a Casanova if i had the 'experience' of Otacon. Is he deep down the subconscious of Kojima himself?

 

[Sami+]

"IN THIS ARM" is an odd exclusion

 

[bojie1986]

using banana as a weapon

Edit: by weird, they mean awesome right?

 

[MechaX]

I wish they would have included the MSX Metal Gear games too.

Remember when Snake was put in a chokehold by an 80 year old scientist and had to shoot nikita missiles at said old man to get him off?

Or how about the time Snake almost got killed by poisonous hamsters? Good times.

 

[the_batman]

that list is too short, and it didn't even include this:

MAJOR SPOILER, SON

Spoiler

the fake-me-out credits in MGS4 that lead up to Big Boss appearing out of nowhere

 

[Darkangel]

How could they not mention this?

 

[RyanardoDaVinci]

1. Mt. Snakemore.
2. Presidential crotch-grab.
3. Everything else.

 

[nubbe]

These things is what makes it great

 

[Arklite]

The crazy thing is that any single MGS game can have a longer list of oddities than that.

 

[Aurongel]

Liquid Ocelot's accent not changing.

The creepy trench coat man who stalks you in MGS4

Crop circles in MGS4

The MULTI MILLION DOLLAR fake commercials in MGS4.

Infinite ammo bandana

US president junk grab

Deepthroat

Ghosts in shadow Moses.

 

[the_batman]

3. Everything else.

lol

42. Vamp running on water
43. Otacon telling Snake and Raiden about his affair with his step mom that led to his dad's suicide
