Board 8 > Board 8 Experts, Day 12: Metal Gear + RULES DISCUSSION FOR NEXT TOPIC

(+) Yeah! (+)

Hello, and welcome to Board 8 Experts, where we figure out who is the expert on this forum for a particular series. To participate, post a list of every game in a series that you have beaten.

The rules:

• I'm still figuring this out
• You must have played through a game's entire campaign. 100% completion not necessary
• The same game for multiple platforms is allowed, but you must have beaten it on every platform
• DLC campaigns count as .5 of a full game (possible exceptions for something like Shadow of the Erdtree)
• In the event of a tie, trophies/speedruns may be considered
• Individual games in a compilation count if they were originally released separately
• Emulators are not their own category. If you played a game on the SNES, and then later played the SNES emulation of that game, it is only counted as the SNES version.
• Different routes do not count unless they were separate releases; only one route is necessary to count
• One nomination per person per topic

Nominations:
2 - Final Fantasy
1 - Monster Hunter
1 - Capcom Fighting Games (No SF)
1 - Doom
1 - Myst
1 - Yakuza/Like a Dragon
1 - Kingdom Hearts
1 - Bioware
1 - Atelier
1 - The Legend of Zelda
1 - Suikoden

Looks like RikkuAlmighty is our resident Warriors expert! I'd make a joke but I know very little about these games.

Rules discussion for Final Fantasy!!
Okay, so I was thinking of the following rules:

• Individual Expansions for the online games should be listed separately, as they all count
• Royal Edition for FFXV counts for an extra .5
• FFVII Remake Intergrade counts for .5 (please denote this when posting list)
• Spinoffs with "Final Fantasy" in the title count (but not further SaGa games)
• Chocobo series counts

Please let me know if you disagree with any of these rules, or propose any additional ones.

Today, we have the Metal Gear series, so without further adieu...

Played Snakes Revenge, but never beat it. Still need to play MGS2 and MGS3 in the Master Collection. Never played the Acid games! Didn't count any of the Metal Gear Onlines even though the wiki lists them as separate entries, but they're just part of the games they're included with I don't consider them separate entries. However I did count things that aren't really games, but are their own disk or executable. Also maybe one day I'll start Metal Gear Survive lol

If they count I have to add too:

Bold are platinums - I'm only missing MGS4's among 1-5 + PW. Should really grab MG1 & 2 also.

Up (too lazy to make new topic)

ok so

Metal Gear Acid (PSP)
Revengeance (PS3)
MGS 1 (PS1)
MGS 1 (PS3)
MGS 1 (Master Collection)
MGS: The Twin Snakes (Gamecube)
MGS 2 (PS2)
MGS 2: Substance (PS2)
MGS 2: HD Collection (PS3)
MGS 2: Master Collection (Switch)
MGS 3: Snake Eater (PS2)
MGS 3: Subsistence (PS2)
MGS 3 (HD Collection)
MGS 3 (Master Collection, Switch)
MGS 4 (PS3)
If you want to include it, Metal Gear Online via MGS4.
MGS PO (PSP)
MGS PW (PSP)
MGS PW (HD Collection)
MGS V (PS4)
If you want to include it, Metal Gear Online via MGSV.
MGS Ground Zeroes (PS3)

Also worth noting:
MGS is the reason I got a PSP (in anticipation of Portable Ops, and to play Acid), PS3 (for MGS4, the first console I bought with my own money, during the middle of my A-Levels - fuck studying, MGS4 was out), and the PS4 (for MGSV - special edition red diamond dogs version, came out like three days after I left to Qatar, had to have it shipped).
MGS2 and 3 are the only games I've completed on every difficulty level, in the case of 2 multiple times each I think.

I actually liked Acid, but never bothered with 2 for whatever reason. Metal Gear 1 and 2 I kinda lost interest in and never bothered to finish. Just totally different games.
