the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
Eligible Monster has a good batch of videos too, if you don't have 28 hours to kill.

It's 100x better to play the games in release order, though.

Don't judge.

MG, MG2:SS, MGS, and MGS2 follow the story of Solid Snake. After MGS2, there was to be no more focus of that particular Snake, so Kojima went back in time to focus on Snake's dad/clone, Big Boss. That's where MGS3 takes  place. After that game became a critical success (and Kojima admitted to liking BB more than SS), he decided to focus more on him than anything else. But there was a problem. People hated the way MGS2 ended. It was too ambiguous and meta, and after getting multiple death threats, Kojima decided to make MGS4. Which is why it's shit, but that isn't the point.

After that, he went back to focus on BB. Which is where we get Peace Walker, Ground Zeroes and the final act, The Phantom Pain.

Like it irks me so much

because mgs2 is really the magnum opus of storytelling in the series

and people are mad because it's too complex for them

so then we get the WORST sequel in the series that fucking ruins everything

mgs4

ugh.

That would be pretty fucking hilarious. Sounds like something Dunkney would do.

To be fair, I can't think of any long-running game series where the series' chronology falls perfectly in line with each game's release date.

Speaking of metal gear, here verb THIS is what exploiting women in video games looks like
Not a plot relevant nudity scene

I posted this pic in that thread, hehe

While Kojima has said that her partial nudity actually has a narrative purpose, it's still exploitation IMO.

I mean, it's not like he hasn't needlessly done shit like this in the past. MGS1 had Sniper Wolf, MGS3 had Eva and The Boss, Peace Walker had Paz.

Paz in Peace Walker...
"Zoom in" it says! It'll be great it says!
I had no idea what that truly meant. Best part was that my brother was in the same room with me while i did that...
