Yeah I wondered about that.

The Shagohod certainly wasn't that impressive but as far as 60's metal gear tech goes, I guess it's "ok". BTW it's interesting how the mechs here look like a combo of Metal Gear Rex and Metal Gear Ray.

Plus, Snake was a pretty damn cool character.

Still, there were planty of things about the game that irked me. The aforementioned "love on the battlefield" crap, the vomit-inducing "Live, Snake...LIVE!" garbage, the lack of gameplay in favor of cutscenes/codec conversations (every time I got into playing a certain section it would be over and, bam, another cut-scene)...I could go on and on.

MGS would be the greatest series ever if they just killed Heido Kojima.

Haha, it's one of those love hate situations. Kinda like the Final Fantasy series right now....

First, it wasn't a Metal Gear and it wasn't trying to be. It was the Shagohad. Second, the idea was that using a rocket-powered tank to launch the missile at high speed into the sky you wouldn't waste fuel used for initial takeoff which would increase range. In theory, it could work. Obviously it's not very practical but why does it have to be?

No it wouldn't, it'd be garbage.

Don't like the cutscenes? HEY HERE'S A NOVEL IDEA - SKIP THEM!

I do, sometimes. But since the whole game revolves around the cut scenes and what happens in them, that's not the brightest suggestion. Specifics of the missions or pivotal plot points that affect gameplay are sometimes part of those cut-scenes. I'd like to know what the fuck is going on, thank you.

I don't know why I let myself get suckered into it again. We do this dance everytime an MGS game comes to the fore. Now all that's missing is another of Strider's tired routine of ragging on the story.

Takes about two seconds to call on a codec and get the gist of what you're supposed to be doing. Nothing in the cutscenes you can't live without, trust me.

Yeah, let's just STFU about it. It never goes anywhere.

I've been waiting for him to show up, actually. At least he's funny when he does it.

Forgot about that. I'm so scarred from 20 minute codec conversations that I blocked out the fact that you can just call these people back whenever you want.

Like I said, Snake is a cool character. Well, the one in MGS1 and the beginning of MGS2, anyway.
