Ooh! Ground Zeroes is only 5gb. I can set this to download overnight.
Pro-tip, if you plan on playing MGS3 anytime soon don't play MGSV.
But if not then go ahead. Make sure you read the pre-mission story stuff. You'll know it when you see it.
I might to a verbatim style thing where I report my progress and give my impressions.
I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts. It's cool to hear how these games hold up to today's gamers.
I'll efinitely read the context. I'm that guy who reads all the books in skyrim because he enjoys playing video games to read.

It's free on gold so I may as well. Anyway, I'm setting it to download overnight, should be done by tomorrow.
what should I know going into GZ? Are there any tricks I should learn that they don't teach you?
I'll probably do, like, my impressions as I go along (shamelessly ripping off verb's idea) so it should be fun.

Wup, verb's now on T&R
Y'know, while I'm on the subject. You can't understand my glee when we were doing about apartheid in history and how they set up 'Truth and Reconciliation' commitees for people to admit what they did after apartheid was done.

It's like you guys don't take into account the MP when comparing Halo games.
They don't.
I'm sure my opinion of the Halo series would be massively different if I disregarded the hundreds upon hundreds of hours I spent in matchmaking/customs/forge, and judged it solely on a few linear 3-4 hour campaigns.
Why would I judge a game on the part I don;t give a shit about?
Many of us would say the same thing in reply to the "full priced games should be able to stand on their own in singple player" thing.
The difference is, what is the point paying for a fully priced game when you can't guarantee you'll be able to play it? If people stop playing, the servers go down, you have a bad conenction or a whole myriad of other issues, then you've just got an expensive paperweight.
Titanfall and Evolve are both basically empty servers now. It sucks if you bought them and you can't play them because no one else is playing. Whereas with Halo 3, I can still replay the campaign, should I want to, regardless of if there's other people.
I don't see how that applies at all to the Halo discussion
A game should always be able to stand on its single player alone
The single player will always be play-able (lol except destiny) regardless of playerbase or connection issues. Multiplayer won't.
That doesn't apply to any of the Halo games aside from like, MCC and maybe the Spatan Ops games. CE, 2, 3, ODST, Reach, and H4 all had local competitive and cooperative multiplayer options. I get what you're saying but it doesn't matter in this context.
I'm a loser and have no friends But seriously. I know of no one irl who would prefer to splitscreen. But that's another argument also; Spoiler lol halo 5 doesn't have splitscreen

...w..what..?
"I only play single player cuz le story I am lore master"
Its CSGO.
oh I don't even counter-strike anyway. I prefer combined-arms warfare in my multiplayer. Besides, I am the lore master. I generally read up the lore on most game series I play- Halo, Mass Effect, Fallout, Elder Scrolls and so forth I'm that guy who reads all the books in skyrim because I play video games to read books C:

I might get a PS3 at some point then
there's a couple games I want to play, and I'm guessing PS3's are relatively cheap now. I got a PS3 slim 250gb model for £58 the other week on ebay. You definitely should get one, if not for the complete MGS experience, then for the other franchises you missed.
Aside from MG, I want to play Killzone, Last of Us (Shut up I think it looks cool) and Shadow of the Colosus HD port. ?
TLoU is a fantastic game. Nobody is judging you for it.
whenever it's mentioned, I always see it referred to as ladder simulator and shit I might get a PS3 at some point then
Probably your best bet. Especially since the prices are dropping fast.
FUCK I knew I should have got it on my account while it was free
Pretty sure it's still free, though. I wouldn't pay for it, to be honest. Too overpriced.
Don't think it is. I think that was last month's game. I'll have a look now. I have something else I need to do on xbox anyway...

It's sad knowing 343 won't ditch the shitty outdated human weapons because people will just cry about it.
But... but muh shitty and useless SMGs!!
ay bruh dont be talking smack about the smg, i fuck shit up with those things in halo 3
dual wield that shit, niggas just drop before they can get their little br 4-shot in
>dual wielding in Halo 3
I bet you were one of those bks that wouldn't veto Team Duals
you bet your mexican ass i dont veto team duals
I'll shrek you with a Plasma Rifle/SMG combo
you wanna go mate
let's go right now what's your fucking gay ass GT
If you could buy me a 360 with a disc tray that reads games and Gold I'll 1v1 against you
typical cop-out smh
still more respectable than going 4-25
If we played, I guaran-damn-tee there won't be cross-map Mauler shots
I don't know man, those things have some impressive range on them Spoiler compared to a melee strike

Rising is fun.
It's silly fun.
I'm one of those cool edgy kids who doesn't really enjoy a game unless it takes itself seriously
Not in the gears of war sense of "manliest man competition" serious, but not being over the top
Except the lego games. Those games are great.
MGS does have some silly stuff in it, like pictures of random Japanese girls being on the inside of locker doors and toilet cubicles.
I know there's an easter egg where photos of the developers are there in frames on a wall or something

To be honest you could just start playing at Ground Zeroes and still enjoy yourself. TPP is going to be a blast, and Kojima said new fans won't be left behind, due to flashbacks and stuff.
I mean, it's a gameplay heavy game, so even if you don't get the story, we can explain it on Sep7agon and you can still enjoy the masterful gameplay.

Because ever since watching that, it pretty much turned me off metal gear. I'm not a big fan of the japanese thing of having people wielding swords the size of helicopter blades flying through the air.
Oh, I concur. I'm not the biggest fan of Japanese culture (or, modern Japanese culture) but Metal Gear is certainly not weeb shit, if that's what you're thinking.
I mean, it definitely has it's Eastern influences (the translation, the writing style and the MGS4) but I've always seen Kojima as a backwards weeb: he's a Jap that's infatuated with Western culture. I think the mix is absolutely perfect.
As Lemon said, the complete experience is on PS3. But MGS1 can be emulated flawlessly on a computer (I think it's actually better this way, the keyboard is better suited to it's retro gameplay) and MGS4 can be skipped entirely (though that's controversial in itself. Basically, MGS4 is the Halo 3 of MGS: overrated by nostaligafags.) As for MGSV, it's on X1, so. . .

Revengeance looked... over the top, I guess. just ridiculous.
I can get past some janky gameplay for a cool plot. I still happily play mass effect 1, after all.
Thanks for the advice ^ ^
Rising Revengeace was developed by Platinum Games. Those kind of games are their thing.
Ah. In regards to the playstation thing. They're making a shit ton of titles available on launch of the program. It's a 360 emulator rather than a MCC style port; they said the hardest bit is getting the license to port the games. So hopefully they'll be ported. I'm planning on selling my 360 when the compatability is out as the only games I still play on it are my RPGs. Are there many for the PS2? I still have one of those and PS2 games are dirt cheap now.

the crying about the rocket launcher was bad enough
god help them if they try to make the battle rifle a reasonably balanced weapon
there will be tears
but muhh one gun that dominates and makes the rest of the sandbox the equivalent of throwing rocks
no no no you can only be good at the game if you can use the easiest weapon to use proficiently I have more respect for people who can run around with a plasma repeater or an smg than people who can use something that is useful in pretty much any situation

Is Revengeance 'that game' for the series, like Reach for Halo, or is most of the Metal Gear series like that? Because if it isn't, I might have a look into it.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Revengeance is the furthest thing you could get from Metal Gear.
Like if you have a 360, get the HD Collection.
Ah. Because ever since watching that, it pretty much turned me off metal gear. I'm not a big fan of the japanese thing of having people wielding swords the size of helicopter blades flying through the air. I like stuff that takes itself more seriously. I might look into getting the HD collection once XB1 gets backwards compatibility. I'm planning on having another go at dark souls at some point.

So, I have a question. A while back I watched NerdCubed playing Metal Gear Revengeance, and it looked ridiculous and really put me off getting into the series.
Is Revengeance 'that game' for the series, like Reach for Halo, or is most of the Metal Gear series like that? Because if it isn't, I might have a look into it.
