Re: Metal Gear Marathon: "Sons of the Guns Eater" Ops
I think I'm going to have a marathon Metal Gear session soon. The only games I don't have are the PSP titles. I have an MSX emulator for the first two Metal Gear games.
It's just a case of finding the time to do it, but I'll need to do it soon before I go back to college.

Re: Metal Gear Marathon: "Sons of the Guns Eater" Ops
done with MGS3. Forth time on Subsistence/Normal. i never get a hang of what happends to the microfilms. Snake got one which he handed to the US?
"EVA" (what's her real name?) got none?
Maybe Ocelot crossed everyone again and stole the other part?
Anyway, i will speed trough Very Easy and Easy without watching the movies or anything. And i got portable ops in the mail. This time i will play it legally =D

In the phone call at the end you only hear Ocelot. And he says "Thanks to Snake" and nothing more i guess. China did not get any part of the legacy, but they got the Shagohod Data. US got the REX-data =D

I've read your blog. You just got to play MGS on PS1! That one is not in the list :O
and completly of-topic: the box of the GA-KO clocks so damn good
edit: it's pretty fun nerding out MGS3 =D today i carefully looked trough the MGS3 Premium Pack "making of book" and right now i'm watching Existence. I will maybe try to:
*get all fruits and animals
*shoot all kerotans (should have done this years ago...)
*hear all codecs (this is going to damn hard)

Re: Metal Gear Marathon: "Sons of the Guns Eater" Ops
I think i'm nearly done with MGS3 this time. I've played Normal, Very Easy, Existance and now Easy. I will probably play Hard, and try Extreme and EE.
And after this i think i love MGS3 more than ever. The first time i played MGS3 i hated Ocelot. A little spoiled brat, but now i really like him. but The Boss is still my favourite in all MG. I love the part when Eva explains how she died for her country, and could do nothing about it, while Snake walks out after recieving his "BB award", knowing how used they both are.
I'm also getting used to sneaking in the jungle. I hated it at first after playing MGS and MGS2. I thought that MG should be in urban invironment. But i really have come to love the design.

Re: Metal Gear Marathon: "Sons of the Guns Eater" Ops
Yeah it is but it used to say "Metal Gear Solid & The Twin Snakes", I've changed to read more clearly "Metal Gear Solid & MGS: The Twin Snakes". However, I won't be playing the PS1 version in the marathon, I'll be playing my PC version when it arrives. After the marathon I may well go back to play my PS1 version but we shall see.gixo wrote:I've read your blog. You just got to play MGS on PS1! That one is not in the list :O
Yeah I love the Ga-Ko clock! hehe. Geeking it out was awesome, I watched all my MGS3 Extreme dvds and loved every second of all the stuff I did to complement my MGS3 experience. Existence, scouring the net etc. All of it! lol.gixo wrote:and completly of-topic: the box of the GA-KO clocks so damn good

Yeah I wanna shoot all the Kerotans next time around too. There's so much to do isn't there!
Yeah I love that part of the game, its so eerie and the sound effects are phenomenal on a 5.1 surround sound system. Since playing through the games again, I have to say having a good sound system really makes a massive difference. It is phenomenal!Henry Spencer wrote:Currently up to The Fury with his pyromania and space phobia, is voiced very well by Richard Doyle. It's essentially an enhanced version of the fight against "Fire Trooper" from MG1.

Re: Metal Gear Marathon: "Sons of the Guns Eater" Ops
What does Extreme feature? is it someone playing trough the game? (+cutscenes?). I actually liked Existance. A bit odd switching of the scenes here and there, and the narrator suck . However it makes me want to do an Existance with MGS2. And i would do it if i hade the tools...jonthomas83 wrote: I watched all my MGS3 Extreme dvds and loved every second of all the stuff I did to complement my MGS3 experience.

However i just watched trough this http://wiki.junkerhq.net/index.php?titl ... remium_DVD . Not so much to see... other than the females got bigger breasts in the E3 2004 Trailer . Or is it just me?
I think i'm pretty done with MGS3 now. I'm playing trough Easy now, but i'm starting to feel sick of it. And i don't want to ruin the game. Anyway, this was a GREAT idea. first i did not really like the game. But now i just love it! All the cool environment, all the exploring, the sneaking, and the massive amount of material it is in it! Codecs, Fruits, Plants, Animals! Thousands way of defeating enemys.
And... The Boss
(one more thing i though about, this is maybe spoilers for PO, dont know, thats part of the qouestion...)

Ah fair enough then! Elisa sounds right to me, I was really confused then! lol.gixo wrote:i already had a save near the end I needed to complete it to start a new play trough. Right now i'm at Elisa.
I'm only really playing on the weekends at the moment as I don't get much time during the week, I've just got past Python, I didn't dodge his bullets or anything and just kept shooting so I used a lot of medipacks, I'll probably end up regretting it but it bored me so I just wanted to get on with the game! lol.

The Extreme difficulty was still surprisingly easy :S

Re: Metal Gear Marathon: "Sons of the Guns Eater" Ops
So i finally completed Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops on Extreme. I acutually managed to complete it in 1970 too =D
The game has some awesome moments in a few cutscenes. Since i don't know if jonthomas has completed it i will keep it in spoilertags.
This is the fifth time i played it. But it now i really like the first cutscene where Jonathan discovers that Snake is Big Boss. "Big Boss! The one who fought The Boss!". Or something like that. Anyway, i liked it because of how he shows how legendery The Boss was.
The other scene:
The final and most emotional scene:
Those are probably the best things with PO. But i disslike a few things too. I actually hate how they used the ability to get new soldiers. Why have 100 soldiers which you never use when Snake can do everything. And i hate how short the maps are. You can actually run through most of the maps getting alerts and everything, and complete them in like 20-30 seconds.
I hate how only can have 4 items.
Yeah, im a confused. It's an awesome game. but i hate it.
Anyway i will now be playing PO+ and MG.
(I also completed Metal Gear Solid 3 on Easy)

PO+ changes everytime. Each level will give you an objective when you start it, but it usually involves "Find the Exit."

Re: Metal Gear Marathon: "Sons of the Guns Eater" Ops
Just finished MGS:PO! Awesome stuff. I echo Gixo and seraphssavior's comments about the last Elissa scene and after Gene etc. It's a very good game, of course it has its flaws but thas probably due to the liitations of the Portable conversion of the ethos of MGS, but overall its a cool game and excatly what I wanted in a MGS game on the PSP.
I'm nearly finished writing up my MGS3 document, I'll move straight on to MGS:PO and documenting my ourney as soon as it's finished.
Enter...Solid Snake, 'Metal Gear'...I cannot wait!
