It seems whoever i ask, nobody has heard of Metal Gear Solid only Splinter Cell... I've played through MGS1 MGS2 and MGS3 especially liking the story line and can't wait for MGS4.

Comments?

You must have asked the dead because MGS is one of the most talked about games in this forum and other sites.

Speaking of which, what the hell is Splinter Cell? I guess that's what you get for trying to compete with a game that has Kojima's ideas all over it. Too bad.

not to many people like it because of the camera, but once you get used to it it becomes quite fun

It is sort of a love or hate game.

But if you ask in a PS3 forum, everybody will know about it. Even the people that don't like the game knows about Metal Gear.

Is not that MGS is unpopular is just is not as popular as some of the titles out there. MGS don't really advertise much as other games. It rely on word of mouth and fan appreciations. So is not really a mainstream game. Still, is popular enough among hardcore gamers. :P

the only reason people havent herd of MTGS, is because they are all fat abnoxious halo playing 360 tards. :/ thats why.

And if you ask me, i think its better that thoes kinds of people never hear or see of metal gear solid. so that good games like MTGS stay for us good gamers. and they dont get ruined by these slugheads :)

Erhm, wrong again Einstein. NOT everyone has heard of MGS. you do know that there are people out there who are not that much into gaming right? the dumbest people i know are the ones saying that others are dumb just because they don't know One game... acting like 10 year olds and what not.

The TC is actually asking about opinion on MGS being unpopular not whether or not you know WTH MGS IS. Secondly, the comment you gave, is not a comment, it is a question. Next time, please give useful opinions instead of typing something to joke around when the TC is actually being serious and no, you don't win anything. Do i even need to tell you the reasons.

All I know, as in "all the people i know knows what the game is" didn't know i had to cut everything out so teens could understand it. i'm terribly sorry if i got you mad. please don't hit me oh dear leader with thong up his something..

you guys are sure picky today.. what's wrong, did the PS3 lose another exclusive that i don't know of?

I never cared for the series. Stealth games and games with tons of cut screens or movies are not my cup of tea. Plus, the story, if you can call it that, makes virtually no sense.

No way! Even the non gamers in the office hark back to the PS original and look in awe at the new trailers of MGS4

Its the ONLY reason i am buyin a PS3 to be honest since i have a 360..

I mean shelling out £300 to play one game is extreme but its the only game this generation that makes me wanna do that!

Not since HL2 when i had to build a comp in 04 have i wanted a game so much hehe

Sadly, when Halo 3 spent 10 million dollars on advertisement alone, everyone hear about it. Even my local NPR station's people heard about it. Although they don't know anything at all about what the game is about, they know the name Halo 3.

Metal Gear series on the other hand, is superior in almost every way, yet it has no 10 million dollars on marketing. So it's not a wonder why many people have never heard of it.

Or you are a new gamer, or your were not a PS x gamer... many other posibilities. Believe it or not, I have seen people in this forums that never heard of Final Fantasy, which is far worst...

I've heard of Metal Gear... I'VE HEARD OF METAL GEAR!!!

But all I know is that you play as a snake... not too funny if you ask me. I mean, all you must be able to do is bite people and eat mice. Not to mention that it doesn't make any sense lol what is it about?? a snake eating mice in some clock tower?? lol

You are absolutely right. I've never played an MGS game, but I still know about it and I am really excited about MGS4.
