For example, MPO is not a main game. MPO is an MGS3 spin-off. Is it canon? Yes. But so are the VR Missions “on board the Discovery”. My collecting reflects that as well. The collection reflects the games I hold dear.
I started looking at your site but I quickly realised the pictures on the homepage were spoilers so I quickly avoided it I'm afraid mate. I haven't played MGS4 yet so I don't wanna know anything. However, when I finish the game, which will be at the end of my MG Marathon, I'll be sure to catch up with your site. It looks good at first glance BTW, pity I couldn't take the second glance at the time! lol.
A.G. wrote:Now, why would I stop? Because MGS4 gave me closure. I feel that in terms of gameplay and in terms of plot that has fascinated me for a decade it is finally finished. That doesn’t mean I won’t play future games. But there won’t be any site building for them nor expensive collections. MG, MG2, MGS, MGS2, MGS3, and MGS4 is what Metal Gear means to me, written and directed by Kojima. I do give honorable mentions to Ghost Babel and MPO as they were written by Kojima. As for future games... I have no interest. If they start a new story with a new cast, that’s great. If they continue the current plot, that’s horrible, but it’ll just reinforce my desire to be done with the series.
As I said I've not played MGS4 so without spoiling it, what if Kojima decided to carry on with the games?

I remember looking them all over and thinking that it must be an interesting game. Months later I got a PlayStation for the first time and played the demo. Went out, got the whole game and was hooked ever since. I then remembered the figure set and lucked out at Toy’s R Us. The whole set! They had a few in the back so I got the last of what they offered (September of 1999). I remember being happy that I got Raven since it was one of the harder ones to get.
So, that’s my brief tale of woe. LOL.
Thanks for that mate, sounds cool. It just makes me wish it gotten into MGS earlier.
