lol true.

MGS blew my mind. MGS2 was also damn cool.

I think I'm going to talk my PS3-owning friend into buying this game... then convince him to let me have his room for 28 consecutive hours.

I guess I could steal my bro's PS2 and check out MGS3 while I'm waiting for that too happen.
 
after all the hype, the game is pure fucking shit. the cutscenes are ridiculous. the controls are fucking pathetic. the story makes no sense unless you're a die hard fan. the vehicle stages are particularly terrible experiences. i don't know if i'll even try to finish it.

the fight with vamp pissed me off so bad, yeah i know how to kill him, the controls just don't fucking do what they're supposed to ... anyway.... pissed me off so hard, that when i was trying to repair a controller my flatemate seemed to have fucked up a bit, as i was having great difficulty putting it together again, it was stubborn, so i smashed it into the ground. pieces are everywhere, i don't even know where the battery and some other parts are. that controller's now in the bin.

and i've put that controller back together before.

and i've killed vamp before but for some fucking shit reason it didn't save in the just as bad following stage in the stupid mechwarrior wannabe. seriously, this was the only game i wanted on ps3, and it just fucking sucks hard.
1/5
 
Really? Damn dude. I didn't like the mech bs either but, I thought the game was great. The story rounded off the series well. The cutscenes may have been a bit excessive but, I enjoyed em save a few needed bathroom breaks. I had no complaints about the controls at all. I actually found them pretty accurate.

The 2 parts in game that I absolutely despised were the stupid button jamming race to the end of the microwave tunnel and the endless fight with liquid at the end. Other than that I thought the boss battles were difficult enough yet not frustrating. Maybe some experience with the series swayed my point of view.
 
the cut scenes really ruined the experience for me. entirely. i couldn't get into the swing of the game at all since in order to play it i had to set aside extra time in case a cut scene cut in. i really don't have the time to committ so much so i was playing it here and there, each time having to remember what the controls are.

i never use CQC so the necessity to use it on vamp makes the ordeal just fucking crap.

i haven't been this angry at a game in ages. maybe it's due to how badly i want to like it.
 
Wow man, I played the game, beat it, and the controls are identical to the every iteration prior all the way back to MGS. The story makes sense, if you played the previous iterations, and does a damned fine job at finally ending the story arc. The fact that you're having any trouble with Vamp just tells me you obviously suck at games, I killed him in like 5-6 minutes.

Your issues with the cutscenes... either skip'em, or watch'em. Although why would you wanna skip'em? They are the driving force in the game. They are the story, and while they may be long, they are important, and the centerpiece of the game.

Beyond that, you don't even touch on some of the more frustrating issues that people have with the game. Primarily the large installs between chapters. The game didn't have to do that... but is it a game breaker? No.

And you're obviously missing the point of the MGS series, since you say you NEVER use CQC. It's a stealth game, by the time you get to vamp you should be so adept at CQC that you have no problems.

It's ok to say that you don't get it cause you don't understand the story. That's fine. You can even say it's just not your style of game, that's fine. But to sit here and say you're having fits of rage because you cannot grasp the controls (which btw are so similar to a lot of other shooters) and blame the game and say the game "sucks so fucking hard" is pathetic.

I am calling B.S. on your gaming skills.
 
i played the first two, but not the third, am fine with all other games, even other horrible crap control ones like both assasin's creeds. stealth, my arse. i bought this game FOR the stealh aspect, but there's hardly any of it in there. the closest it came to stealth was that lame street clothed stage and that was just following a stupid set path very slowly... and tediously. cod has more stealth in it than this.

the cut scenes were so melodramatic and convoluted i wanted to gouge my eyes out with spoons.
 
If you played the first two, then you should have no problem with this one.

I dunno I thought there was all kinds of stealth involved, like when you enter into the town with the hostages and you gotta take everyone out silently, and then move forward undetected.... And then in the scenes where you can pretty much avoid all fighting by moving up slow on the left hand side and taking out a few guards here and there.

Geez I haven't played the game in two years but I remember a ton of stealth in the game. You don't have to play it as a stealth game, you can play it as a straight up head on shooter, but you waste a lot of ammo.

And again if you played the first two, the controls are identical you shouldn't be having this rage issue.

Also, you played the first two, and you're talking about melodramatic and convoluted? DID YOU NOT PLAY THE SECOND ONE? The whole game was melodramatic and convoluted. It was pure EMO CHEESE. Which is why a lot of people didn't like it as much. So I'm still calling B.S.
 
yeah the only thing i remember from the second was that it put me off the franchise. i literally remember nothing from the game.

ok, maybe i should retry 4 from the start skipping all the cutscenes
