Metal Gear Ghost Babel, the Game Boy Color title that relied on precise timing and expert stealth, is now being played by an anonymous mob, able to input random commands at will. What could possibly go wrong?

Unlike the crowd-played Pokemon, which ended up OK, this is already turning into something more akin to Twitch’s attempts at playing Halo, which just weren’t able to get past even basic enemy encounters.

Harder than my... Solid Snake?

 

[Raonak]

sounds fucking impossible.

 

[K.Sabot]

This is probably impossible if it gains traction.

The game looks pretty fun. Never played it. Sadly, it's a mint on eBay.

edit: Actually not too bad. Dat CIB doe.

 

[Kouichi]

Hahaha they took out a guard!

What's the point in doing games that will be impossible to beat? Pokemon worked because it was turn based and thus beatable.

They tried Halo, which was nuts.

Reminds me when Twitch played Five Nights at Freddy's and managed to beat the first night.

You never know until you try, I guess. I'm sure there are a few games out there that will surprise in this format.

I'm pretty sure from what I recall that there are some parts in the game that you need to slide alongside a wall and this doesn't have a "hold" input for the chat so yeah

Seeing how far they can get should be amusing though

It's a fantastic game

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Impossible. Even something as simple as going to the right codec will be a miracle.

 

[Nafai1123]

Haha yea this is gonna be impossible.

Gameboy.

They did that a lot with the DS--Dragon Sword, Dual Strike, Dawn of Sorrows.

 

[MaddenNFL64]

No way this gets done.

How the hell did that even go? How far did they get? I can't imagine it.

I can't remember. They might have just quit. But I can't recall much just messing around with it.

there's no chance in hell of succeeding.

There's a part where you have to go through a precise series of conveyors in the right order, it's hard enough doing it alone.

Cool though.

My thoughts exactly. If they even manage progress this alone will destroy them. That section is still the stuff of nightmares.

 

[zma1013]

They just snuck past 2 guards and shot one of them, no alarms

They did it in Pokemon..

 

[MaddenNFL64]

They killed a guy, with a gun!.

I was so wrong.

 

[entremet]

Idk why this is so mesmerizing. I have no history with the game. Love the classic chip tunes.

 

[MaddenNFL64]

All they do is talk to Mei Ling. If you love Mei Ling, this is a must see.

 

[petethepanda]

They're playing better than Drew Scanlon.

Spoiler

I feel bad for that one. <3

 

[AuthenticM]

This is great.

 

[Slowdive]

They actually did it.

 

[brickarts295]

They actually did it.

Unbelievable

 

[MMarston]

They actually did it.

Pretty good.

 

[JayEH]

Wow. I didn't think they would make it past the codec screen haha.
