The endings of MGS and MGS2 are pure kino, particularly MGS2. It was really surreal hearing the nice jazz song, and Solid's motivational speech after the mindfuck that is the end of MGS2. I haven't played 3 yet but I'm sure it has some wild shit in it. It's Kojima after all.

I'm likely forgetting a shit ton of issues but in no way could MGS3 have ruined the canon when 4 exists. MGS3 was at least a good game.

>>375959316
>Vamp exists because NANOMACHINES
Entirely false.
The ONLY thing that was nanomachines in Vamp was his regeneration, and even that was said to only be enhanced by them, implying he normally had supernatural regeneration in the first place.

>>375958863
>>375959081
V failed hard. The first hour is one of the most boring interactive movies in gaming history. You literally cannot do anything but crawl in the direction the game wants you to. After that, the story goes away completely. Every now and then you get a five minute cutscene introducing your dog or Huey's robot or that stupid bikini sniper. Then once you've completed enough missions, you find out where Skullface is hiding, and you listen to him ramble for like ten minutes before you fight Metal Gear and Skullface dies.

And if you really want, while you're doing all that grinding to try and raise your R&D level high enough they can invent a fucking glass bottle full of gasoline, you can do those side-missions where vision-impaird Kaz is somehow able to recognize former employees who are wearing masks *over the radio* which enables you to hallucinate a loli in a hospital room for a minute. And as sad as it sounds, that's the closest thing this game has to story except for just sitting and listening to recorded conversations because for some reason it was really important to reserve the codec system for SO THIS IS RAVEN TERRITORY. THAT'S A NUBIAN GOAT. BOSS GET DOWN! THE ENEMY SNIPERRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

>it's an anon hates MGS4 even though he was probably among those who pressured Kojima intl making it, demanding him he answer unanswered questions and then completely missing what each of the games have been trying to teach you episode
MGS4 is great and nothing you say will change that, you hating it just reinforces my opinion that you literally couldn't understand the game.

Is PS2 emulation good enough to emulate MGS3 yet? The last PS2 game I tried emulating was Parappa 2 and it was completely broken.

>>375960261
It's literally in the conversation post-Vamp boss fight where Naomi explains it.
The only thing Naomi says is enhanced by nanomachines in Vamp is his healing factor.

>>375960261
I'm pretty sure Naomi explicitly states that her anti-cancer nanomachines are what caused Vamp's body to be like that. I've played MGS2 and 4 a LOT and I don't remember anything about Vamp having had healing powers before that.

Nope. If that were true I wouldn't like MGS2, and MGS2 was great. I got into the series a few years after 4 came out. MGS4 is irredeemable trash apart from MGO2.

You mean it didn't have normie-friendly dual analog stick layout? I don't know about pc, but you can get the camera control on the right analog stick on Vita. Most of the time I just move the camera when I'm behind cover, since it's a stealth game and not a run-and-gun, so I never understood why so many people complain about it.

>and dragging enemies back to trucks wasn't fun.
You don't even have to do that. You can just drag them to the nearest team-mate (or drag them next to a hiding spot and then switch characters) and call the prisoner-evacuation CODEC number.

Gameplay in video games should ALWAYS rate higher than everything else combined.
MGS4 has excellent gameplay.

>>375961354
Or they play it for tactical stealth espionage operates with cinematic cutscenes. "The story" was still there in MGS4, you just didn't like it, and let it ruin the game for you. Just like how people got butthurt you didn't go nuclear as Big Boss in MGSV and are STILL saying the games crap because of it even though its a great game. You don't get to decide if the writing and plotline is terrible, you just get to bitch about it because it wasn't what you wanted, not because it was inherently or empirically bad.

>>375960975
The shadow powers weren't explained, but they unfortunately didn't show up in 4 either. Really, from the dialogue in the game you'd think that Vamp got everything from nanomachines and robo-legs. MGS 4 underutilized his full array of powers and supernatural elements.

It's a series filled with plot and is story-driven, that's hard to ignore in the case of MGS.

>>375961753
>MGS 4 underutilized his full array of powers and supernatural elements
Sure, but that's another issue entirely, mainly to do with the game being filled with disappointing boss fights.

>>375961705
Just because (You) liked a mediocre entry in the series doesn't make it a great entry.

Calm down.

>>375960979
That's some impressive cognitive dissonance you've got there.
An hour long cutscene is a terrible thing. A complete lack of story is also a bad thing. But there is a very wide range of possibilities between "no story at all" and "tactical floor flopping simulator". The CODEC in the older games, for example, gave you story exposition from 30 seconds to five minutes. Also short cutscenes featuring dialogue from actual characters like Vulcan Raven, The Sorrow, Psycho Mantis, and so on are missing because all of the enemies in MGSV are nameless grunts or parasite zombies with no personality whatsoever. The closest thing in MGSV to any of those character cutscenes is Skullface blabbing his evil master plan while Snake just sits there like he's stoned to the gills. Oh, and a few "This naked chick is CRAZY" cutscenes that hardly qualify as story.

Honestly, the long-ass opening movie has very little story in it for being a whole hour.

it wasn't awfully bad, but some parts are trash.

the overarching 'theme' is how about even tho you get old, you still are 'unique' in some way, sort of like kojima can't distance himself from MGS because no-one else can make it and how snake has to keep fighting the patriots etc

some unique 'mgs mechanics' are fun, like the psyche meter and back aches and stuff. the guns and modifications are neat. crouch walking is great. the octocamo is great. in fact, snake has more cool moves, like simplified cqc, flipping over while prone, etc. the codec conversations are cool- you can interact with the camera, rose gives you psyche advice, etc. and the cutscenes where you can use the Mk2 are neat. but there's not nearly enough codec conversations- 2 and 3 had way more, for so many different occasions in-game

there's a bunch of good levels, but not nearly enough down time. in mgs3, there's plenty of free time for you to actually enjoy the extra detail put into the game, have codec conversations, hunt around, have a bit of fun with the odd isolated guard... you're always in some shoot-out, and they advertized it as if you would be able to influence this a lot, and you can't. you can help the rebels or not, that's it. so that's acts 1 and 2, now i actually enjoy and 3, but i'm in the minority. i also enjoy act 4. now, i'm talking purely free gameplay moments. all of the 'turret' sections are irredeemable cancer. the boss fights, while mechanically good, aren't meaningful because of the characters, and drebin's post-fight exposition only makes it the more obvious. also, tons of lore rape with the fucking unbelievable amount of cutscene time.

you can skip the cutscenes on a consecutive playthrough, but the turret sections are cancer, especially on the hardest difficulty. getting 'big boss' rank is crazy

in the end, it's not that good, it doesn't have as many cool 'mgs' gameplay/codec/story moments

hard to rate mgs games, but

And not only was the story "still there", it interrupted the gameplay so often unlike any of the previous entries, and it wasn't even good.

The cutscene to gameplay ratio was totally imbalanced in MGS4.

>>375962732

>>375961973
>Didn't know this, I might have to get a Vita.
Make sure it's on 3.60 or lower (any boxed model other than the two new colors they released last month) and you can install exploits by going to henkaku.xyz. Molecular Shell, Vitashell, and then Adrenaline-3.1 to have full PSP fw6.1 *including USB support*.

To get the camera on right analog, go into PO's options and set the controls so the camera is on circle, square, triangle, X. Hold the PS button until the Adrenaline menu comes up, select "Open Official Options" and set the right analog to the four buttons. You'll basically have Peace Walker controls but with the right stick.

>>375963186

Good god, yeah. Took me a couple of attempts to get into PW. You could tell it was designed to be picked up for five minutes or so on a Vita, so the HD collection made the story seem almost glacial in pace.

I mean 4's gameplay was great, but I still wouldn't put it over 1. PW gets my sympathy because it did so much as a portable game and the story wasn't terrible, just kinda luke warm.

>>375963256
Thanks for the info, anon. I'll screencap this for reference.

Gotta say I'm shocked that the prices on those memory cards haven't gone down much though.

>>375963967
>I'll screencap this for reference.
I'll go a little deeper then.
Molecular Shell is kind of like Filer was on PSP. It will permanently install a bubble onto your home screen that you can use to enable homebrew. It requires wifi access to enable homebrew, and has to be re-enabled every time you completely power off the Vita (which won't be often). If you get a message saying it failed and asking you to report the problem, just close the browser and try again. Sometimes it fails two or three times before it works. When you click the bubble on the home screen, there will be two selectable spots on the pre-load screen. The one in the middle that you normally tap to start a game will load Molecular Shell itself. The little yellow strip to the left of it will run the Molecular Shell installer again. Once you install, you'll need to open Molecular Shell and turn on "Unsafe homebrew" to be able to install things. NEVER write to any part of the Vita except ux0 (the memory card).

Vitashell is a lot like Molecular Shell, except Molecular Shell kind of fails at installing anything that isn't itself or Vitashell. So Vitashell is what you'll need to install apps, which will be files with the .vpk extension. This will be how you install Adrenaline and possibly more importantly: Mai Dump Tool which allows you to dump Vita carts to a folder on your memory stick and also install games *from* a folder on your memory stick (insert WHEN YOU'RE A PIRATE song here).

One last thing, is there a huge risk in bricking the Vita doing all this? Or can it just be reset? I've only ever homebrewed my Wii.

Guys I want to play MGS remastered but don't have any PlayStation. What's the cheapest way to make it happen? Refurbished ps3? If so from where?

No, not if you *ONLY* write to ux0:/

It *will* give you the ability to write and delete from the Vita's system folders, which you DO NOT want to do, but if you do that it's your own fault. There is no reason for you to perform any file operation anywhere other than the memory stick, and anything you do on the memory stick is perfectly safe.

That said, there have been reports of people downloading pirated Vita games that have malicious code in them to cause bricks. Don't go downloading pirated Vita games from random people's blogs and whatnot. You cannot brick your vita by anything you do with the PSP firmware (which is how/where you're going to be playing Portable Ops and Peace Walker).

Pirating PSP games = perfectly safe
(including all emulators that run on PSP!!)
Pirating Vita games = be careful
Deleting things from os0:/ = THIS KILLS THE VITA

>>375965289
I don't know what you mean by "MGS remastered". The first one was on PC, although in some ways emulating the PS1 version is better. 2 was also on PC and Xbox other than PS2, and alongside 3 it was remastered for PS3 and Xbox360. This HD remaster also includes the console version of Peace Walker. Then there's the legacy collection only on PS3 that adds MGS4, obviously

Pick your poison

>>375959978
What about Metal Gear Acid 1 and 2?

>>375966443
Oh, and i guess it's worth mentioning MGS3 was also remastered for the 3DS. But i don't know much about that one

>>375965289
MGS1 was remade on Gamecube as Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes.
It uses MGS2 game mechanics in the MGS1 environment/maps with re-recorded dialogue for all the scenes and codec calls.
You can get a Gamecube for $20-$50 and the game for $30-$50.
OR
You can get a PSP for $80 and download the game's two disc iso's for free from coolroms or wherever, then convert them with PSX2PSP. There's even a PSP version of Popstation that could convert the iso's to a two-disc eboot right on the PSP without using a computer.

>>375966235
Anything I'd buy for the Vita I'd likely end up just buying a copy anyways (like MGS HD Collection to play VR mode on the go), but in the grand scheme of things this would just be to play Portable Ops and some other PSP games.

Anyways, thanks once again, anon! You were really helpful.

>>375966443
Fuck legendary looks great but not sure if I can justify getting ps3...wish it was on ps4..thanks tho anon

I think it's sad that more people didn't play those games.
Because if more people had played AC!D, more people would have known that the Venom Snake twist in MGSV was totally ripped off from AC!D (you're not actually playing Solid Snake).
Also having AC!D saves unlocked Venus and Teliko in Portable Ops.

>>375957334
MGS3 had more retcons than MGS1 and 2.

It's not just the length either. Most of MGS4 scenes are filled with a ridiculous amount of padding and/or nothing of substance. Just look at the ACT 4 briefing scene.

Scene opens up with the Mk.II eavesdropping on Liquid Ocelot, Naomi, and Vamp discussing how they're going to use Rex to launch a stealth nuke at JD since SOP won't be enough. Then it takes Snake and Otacon at least Ten. Fucking. Minutes of talking with Campbell in order to figure out what LO is trying to do.....even though LO flat out said his plan right at the start of the damn scene. Unbearable levels of dialogue and padding just for the sake of it. And don't even get me started on the next ten minutes of Snake and Raiden's poetic showdown.

Actually, you do play as Snake in Acid 1. It's just that he's brainwashed to think he's someone else during the course of the game. You're thinking of Acid 2, which starred a clone of Snake.

>>375954671
Liquid's hair isn't naturally blonde dummy, originally it was because of spending a lot of time in Iraq his hair went lighter. In MGSV it still makes sense since he ran away from his handlers in Africa. In V since he's younger you can tell that it's just starting to turn blonde because you can still see brown roots in his hair. Also the whole use of "recessive" and "dominant" in MGS1 is mostly because Kojimbo can't into genetics, also translation errors. The dominant and recessive stuff was mainly shit fed to him by the Patriots
also a bunch of stuff was retconned, e.g in the original Metal Gear BB was from Hawaii or some shit

>>375959179
That's not possible because Snake is viewed as a terrorist during the Big Shell incident, if the Tanker mission were the VR then it would be known Snake wasn't the cause of it.
