Current Events > Mgs3 snake eater on switch

(+) Yeah! (+)

They can do it (albeit poorly) in 3ds. Why stop now?

It's not Nintendo that has the final say. Konami over the past few years has been an asshole about publishing their games, because "They want to be a Pachinko company now". Plus I'm sure there are a ton of legal issues especially with Kojima probably holding some rights to the franchise.

It's a shame they haven't attempted to port 4 to anything else. Or 1 to anything other than the collection on PS3, with the exception of Twin Snakes.

I wouldn't mind a mega collection. All the games except for 5(I hate MGS 5, worst of the series), and that includes the Metal Gear series, Acid series, Portable Ops and Peacewalker.

I dont get it, why 5 is the worst?

There's so much replayability in that game than any of its previous iteration.

Konami in 2020 is the only thing holding things back here.

Sigh, here we go again...how many times more do I have to do this? Alright, I'll repeat it once more, then (and I'll do it each and every time, until you finally stop on being absolutely uneducated, completely inexperienced, utterly ignorant and extremely arrogant scrubs): there is no Solid, it's not David's ark, it's solely John's story. Konami 'dun goofed it all up big-time when they've added the "Solid" part to A LINE OF FRIGGIN' PREQUELS TO ACTUAL METAL GEAR AND SOLID. ALL of the prequel games are purely John's ark and stories, they have abso-effing-lutely nothing to do with David and thus Solid. They're NOT Solids, because there's no Solid anywhere in any of these. Just because a company fucked up massively by adding that word to the game's main title, does NOT necessarily make it a part of that line of games, it's a different line. There are two main arks - John's (Big Boss) story and David's (Solid Snake) story. ALL of the John's games should be called WITHOUT numbers and without "Solid", this is THE ONLY truly legitimate and absolutely right way to name them. Metal Gear Snake Eater Subsistence, Metal Gear Portable Ops, Metal Gear Peace Waker, Metal Gear Ground Zeroes/Phantom Pain. These are ALL prequel stories and solely Big Boss' endeavors, they have absolutely nothing to do with David the Solid Snake. ALL of the David's stories however, with just the exception of the very first two games, are THE stories about Solid Snake, about David, they are HIS stories and not anyone else, and thus they're Solid. Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2 - Solid Snake, Metal Gear 3 - Solid Integral, Metal Gear 4 - Sons of Liberty Substance, Metal Gear 5 - Guns of Patriots. Both AC!D games don't count, nor does Rising Revengeance, because these are completely uncanon "fanfic"-like tales. Especially Rising Revengeance - it was made only (and ONLY) because Kojima made a promise to a little girl who asked for him to do one more game with Raiden. That is ALL it is, nothing less or more than just THAT. Rising Revengeance is a 100% uncanon fanfic based on one particular little girl's request. It's a FACT. I never ever said anywhere that "Snake Eater doesn't exist". It friggin' obviously does. All I'm just saying to your think arrogant skulls all the time is that it shouldn't be called a "Solid" game, because there's NOTHING "Solid" in it. All "Big Boss"-related games are a series sequels that happen before Metal Gear, before very first introduction to David "Solid Snake", There's nothing "Solid" in any of the Big Boss' stories, because Snake's not there. What's so hard to understand and memorize about this? Konami simply made a mistake with naming scheme, and decided to ride along with it, but it does NOT make it right just because they didn't fix this and everyone else took the bait. It's EXACTLY the same kind of a situation like with the late "Persona" games, which been STUPIDLY dubbed as "Shin Megami Tensei" games while NOT having anything to do with actual SMT line AT-EFFING-ALL! It's just a one big, massive, nasty naming SCREW-UP by the bigwigs of major video game developing studios! And me being a truly hardcore and absolutely sophisticated gamer with tons of actual experience behind my shoulders - I simply REFUSE to go with this flow of crappy BS that everyone's been taking into their heads lately! I have my own opinion and vision on all of this. If you don't like it - you don't like it. But don't imply or say things for me which I've never said. I never denied Snake Eater's existence, all I did is refuse to call it a "Solid" game, because IT'S NOT a "Solid" game in any way whatsoever at all. I'll keep on standing solidly with my points.

I dont get it, why 5 is the worst?

There's so much replayability in that game than any of its previous iteration.

Replayability doesn't help when the story is garbage. Does it have better combat? that's actually something I argue about. There are subtle things it took out from previous games that to me just make no sense. For example, you have to take out a relay box to prevent enemies from swarming the place your working through, yet if there is one enemy left, and you shoot the walkie talkie he's carrying with a silencer, somehow every enemy in a 20 mile radius is alerted of your location.

I also didn't like the boss fights. I thought that was a cop out. Just like the missions in the game, bosses had to be fought multiple times. Compared to the previous games where for the most part each boss was fought once, and if a boss was fought a second time, it felt very different than the previous time.

When I got the game, I had hoped it would have big condensed areas like Ground Zeroes had. A military base where you had to stealth your way through, maybe a small city to abduct an enemy leader. While it was explored during the Africa area of the game, Afghanistan was just sand on sand on sand on sand. It didn't need to be Assassins Creed Afghanistan, but at least have something other than the same cave and outposts reposted every 10 miles.

Every time on that damned helicopter just felt like one big middle finger from Kojima to Konami.

Yeah, that's my 5 rant. Honestly, there were just better games during the time I grabbed the game. Dishonored had just came out, and even Black Flag did the open world thing a bit better than MGS5 did.

Having no story at all makes it vastly superior to the trash MGS4 was. God thats whe worst fucking garbage ive ever seen in any medium for a conclusion to a story.

As wise as the ocean but as deep as a puddle. Thats MGSV.

200 different ways to engage enemies but nothing is more efficient than the tranq and balloon combo.

@Professorkukui The solid subtitle has to do with it being fully 3D. Solid means to third power. Not Snakes code name.

Officially, yes, and also because Solid was the third game in the series. Butt Kojima is and always has been a troll and knew what he was doing and how people would interpret it.

There are so many PSP games I want to try but never got the chance to.

Acid
Acid 2
Portable Ops
Mega Man Powered Up
Mega Man Maverick Hunter X
Wasn't there even an Ape Escape game?

I would love for these things to get a collection but there's no way lol. At best it would be another mini system.

PSP's are dirt cheap these days, and even if you want to go the legit route to get the games most of them aren't very expensive.

That's a fair point. Cheap is very subjective based on a ton of different factors.

Guessing you've never played Fable 2, where the final boss is literally you shooting him once. PSPs sell for about 50 CAD where I live. Dirt cheap, and they can be used as an older emulation machine, including psp games.

V > 1 > PW > 3 > 2 > 4 > PO

Haters gonna hate

Maybe kojima is trying a new way of film making that not relies heavily on cut-scenes like the previous titles. Before the jump of from 4 to ground zero there's this game called peace walker that blends in the interactivity and the cutscenes together that borrows a lot from the Quick time event mechanic from other popular games like god of war and resident 4 evil. But as he goes on, this quick time event branches and evolve and takes a unique twist of how interactive cutscenes should be made. Just think back to where you can decides wether you want to take quite a prisoner or kill her on the spot. But the game did not explicitly gave the yes or no but utilize the no action decision as a nod to take quite back to the mother base.

A LINE OF FRIGGIN' PREQUELS TO ACTUAL METAL GEAR AND SOLID. ALL of the prequel games are purely John's ark and stories, they have abso-effing-lutely nothing to do with David and thus Solid. They're NOT Solids, because there's no Solid anywhere in any of these.

Pretty sure Solid Snake is in Metal Gear
