remember the day you picked up metal gear solid 1, not expecting anything out of it

you think to yourself 'hmmm tactical espionage action, stealth.....' *you put ur cd in*

and hours into the game... you cant put it down, the graphics were awesome for its day, the codec conversations were interesting, character developments were there... you actually care about snake... and you think hes cool.

the environments a blast to explore, decent variety, the guards do funny things, you find cool stuff lying around.

and then theres the bosses, each of them were well made and liked... i liked sniper wolf the best cause shes hot xP.

next being psycho mantis, which was one of my favorite bosses since it really seems like he was reading ur mind.

great fun.

and the story gets even jucier as you get to the end, with more being revealed and the epic battle between ur brother.

sick.

now comes metal gear solid 2... i thought the graphics were awesome (especially the beginning part where u play snake) the rain and everything was like whoaaaaa, awesome.

then comes the tanker.... you play this guy call raiden.... i felt like we were force to like this guy, a character that came out of no where, i honestly didn't care much for him... hes some whiny dude but rose was hot...

the main point is... i really really wanted to play snake... and the convulated story didn't really help me enjoy it.

then comes metal gear solid 3

okay we get to play snake but this is his DAD, great, but not what i wanted

environments are a nice change. but still.

then ccomes metal gear solid portable ops

okay u play as his dad again, decent game, it did get tedious collecting people but nonetheless it was a cool game (especially the comics)

and then we have metal gear sold 4 supposedly the last metal gear

now im thinking w-t-freak

i want to play YOUNG snake

not some old junk thats gona die soon and end the trilogy.

what you guys think?

Are you calling MGS 2,3, portable ops and upcoming 4 spinoffs?

I guess you do not know what spinoff means.

I didn't think anything could top the original until I played Snake Eater. The story was amazing in that game, and Big Boss is almost identical to solid snake, so I have no complaints. Can't wait for MGS4.

I dont agree with you. Though MGS 1 is great, to tell the story well you need to develop the characters too. MGS 2 adds information about lots of stuff. And MGS 3 has the first MG. And toghether with PO tell us how Big Boss got that title and why he decided to create Outer Heaven.

Acid and PO are the only spin offs, but ctually an spin off is when they change the story.

Imo, MGS 3 story is better than MGS 1. And how Kojima captured those 60 films feeling is amazing.

Err...none of these games are spinoffs, dude. :?

Basically, you're just whining because you can't play as Solid Snake. Ironically enough, the only MGS spinoffs were MGS Ghost Babel, Snake's Revenge and MGA 1 & 2 and you play as Solid Snake in all of them.

while i disagree with you 100%, i can understand your desire to again play as the 'original' young solid snake. but i think you need to reflect on that desire, because that desire is what the mgs series is about. the whole series is all about 'the disappointing sequel', not that each game (in my opinion) is worse than the previous, but that's the entire narrative thrust of the game. i mean, mgs2 was explicitly about being forced to play raiden, who was in many ways a sequel to solid snake, in a mission that was a replication of the first mgs game, in the sequel to the first mgs game... the irony of the games is that in metal gear solid 1, the character you are controlling is in fact a sequel himself, being a clone of big boss; you're 'original' and 'cool' snake was never the original snake to begin with and was essentially just like raiden. and then, once you play metal gear solid and are playing as the 'original' snake, you desire to play the clone, the replication.

All I got out of that is that you are attracted to pixelated women. Good luck with that.

You forgot about Metal Gear Solid VR Missions. And they are all good games, all the MGS spinoffs were fun to play unlike Final Fantasy who just tags the Final Fantasy name to anything Square makes even if it's a complete piece of garbage; inherto create sales.

VR missions was included in MGS, so there is no reason to count that.

You do realize that by keeping the game in the present, the plot twists that is a major drive for most players of this game, wouldn't be there. The game's storyline is what makes MGS better than all the other espionoge games on the market, not the gameplay, although that is my opinion, but I do think a majority of the people would agree with me there. It's those sequences where you go "WTF HOW?" that makes you want to keep playing. Kojima is probably one of, if not the best videogame story writer's I've ever come across.

Well, reading all of that. I've gathered that you don't seem to know what you're talking about, so I'm not going to explain. Just continue wasting your time looking at "hot girls" in polygon form.

I mean, if you and your flawed mindless rant want to play the spin off card. Then technically, Metal Gear Solid is the spin off of Metal Gear. So you are playing a "spin off" in the first place.
