Title: Assholes
Post by: Tom on March 16, 2002, 09:42:16 AM
Did anyone see that show on TBS (or was it TNT) with those 2 assholes, the fat guy and the skinny guy, who said that anyone who liked FFX was stupid? I hate that show. Bastards.

I kinda agree with you in ways. Logan has one helluva personality, which snake definitely lacks.

The realer the game the better, just because snake showed emotion when he was getting tortured, doenst make him bad, and in that case why have both MGS and MGS2 out sold syphon filter, must be because of the characters, or the graphics or gameplay. People don\'t want pure fantasy anymore, they want realism, so they can feel like they are the one in the game.

You make great points, but do we really have to point out the differences in "realism" in the universes of both games? Giant robots, cloning, gene splicing, and what about Psycho Mantis and VAMP for cryin\' out loud? I think that a deadly virus is a lot more believable. When I think about it, both games are great because Syphon Filter has it\'s realism, and MGS has it\'s never-could-happen-but-thats-why-we-love-it style. Oh, and the graphics for MGS2 are incredible.

Tom G, you can\'t "make" a virus like in syphon filter. The virus was made by scientists. I don\'t think that is possible to do. That doesn\'t seem to realistic to me making a virus from scratch.

EDIT: They are only games, don\'t think too much into them. Just enjoy them for what they are.

Yup :D I don\'t think it is possible to make a new virus. Alter, maybe, create, no.

Hey, I never said that Syphon Filter COULD be made, I just said it was more believable than MGS\'s storyline. For the record, I love both games. I\'m not biased to Gabe or anything, I just think he\'s cooler, thats all. Here\'s a little tidbit of information you might not know; Syphon Filter was not created by scientists, it was extracted by them from some mines where it was discovered. Remember Lawrence\'s level from SF3?

Solid Snake ownz j00, sucka ;[
Snake is a much better character with a much better personality. Not to mention hes just downright cooler.

Snake is certainly the coolest cat on campus..... or the hippest cat on the block, whichever you prefer!!

Dante whoops them both! ;)
Title: Dante
Post by: Tom on March 16, 2002, 12:41:06 PM
You know what? You\'re right, Dante is the most bad-ass character ever in a videogame!
Title: Snake vs. Logan
Post by: Solid Snake 88 on March 16, 2002, 03:46:58 PM
Dante is cool, but then again its not hard to be cool when you\'re a sword wielding half devil monster thing.
Title: Ultimate Teamup
Post by: Tom on March 16, 2002, 05:19:56 PM
Forget the "who would win in a fight?" thing. What about if the three guys were to team up? Gabe and Snake would want to be as quiet as possible, but thats hard to do when someone keeps shooting like crazy and spitting out oneliners. Maybe a teamup is a corny idea, but a guy can dream, I guess.

If we\'re talking about the "cool" cats on PS2 street...

my vote goes to Auron. :D

Post by: Bobs_Hardware on March 16, 2002, 08:07:08 PM
i cant believe you are even comparing the two..

as much as i like Syphon Filter.. Gabe is a punce, Snake is the real deal.. no one is as badass as Snake.. possibly.. Vincent and Sephiroth from FF7.. but thats it..

quit yer yappin\' little boy

I have to disagree. I am a sword wielding half devil monster thing, and I never got dates in highschool.

So what it boils down to is that we\'ve got 3 of the coolist characters in videogame history, while X-Box has...Munch? Wait, isn\'t X-Box getting a MGS game? Well. hopefully Dante will stay right here. Gabe isn\'t going anywhere, he\'s a Sony product. BTW, has anyone heard anything about a PS2 Syphon Filter game?

I haven\'t heard anything on a Syphon Filter game for PS2 but I hope one comes out.
