Anyone her NOT like MGS?

MGS was ok.  It is overly hyped. I mean it was way too short. And all those cut scenes. The story was great. The features where great but it was not deep enough and too many cut scense and talking.

I still think it is a game that should not me missed though.

Altered, I joined these forums about the same time as you I think.
I lost the login to my other account so I made a new one.
Been here since late \'99 or something.

Anyway, I don\'t mind people not liking MGS at all.
Didn\'t know there were so many here though. He he.

The story is very good, but the gameplay is kind of lacking.  MGS2 completely changes this though.  The gameplay from what I\'ve played is nearly flawless.  I hope the story is just as good.

Have you read ryu\'s msg review part 1 on the main board he give a run down of the complete story from the begging to end you should check it out.

IMO, the gameplay is pretty identical in MGS2 compared to the 1st one. So I\'m having problems sharing your view, Ironfist. But to each their own.

I think the gameplay is extremely different now.  There were so many things added from MGS1 to MGS2 that almost make the gameplay completely different.  In MGS1, you were very limited as to what you could do.  But in MGS2, you can do almost anything you think of doing.

I love it. It is the best PS game with thousands of brilliant and funny details.

Love MGS2, acquired taste for sure,

gimme a break. The game came out at a time when, IMO, games were still better on Saturn. This was a huge title, and desevedly so, since most of the games around it were crap, anyways. The game get\'s too much praise from people, and I don\'t find what the big deal is.

This is funny, you get all pissy with me when I say " I dont see what is so special with these Saturn Shemue pics", but when you say "I dont find what the big deal is" with MGS it isnt a biased comment, and yes you are correct in putting "IMO" with that whole Saturn still having better games at that time

Love MGS on the PSX

though "oh My God" the First time i played MGS2 Demo and still do.

Not played the older versions of Metal Gear.
so can\'t comment on them but i have played Rambo III on the SPECTRUM and it was Superb.it had the gameplay and depth to keep me hooked.

there where 2 versions of rambo 3 on the Spectrum

An Arcade shoot-em-up
and a Metal Gear Style Game (i.e close to the earily Nes versons)

and i love that one.

Did\'t own a Nes back then so never got the chance to play it.

So Metal Gear Soild was the First Solid snake game i played, still play it now and then.........

that\'s nice bozco. I am not alone in this topic, so obviously MANY others share my opinion. ANd on the Saturn one, you were alone, and deservedly so.

I can\'t stand the series. I never have liked it and even gave away my MGS game. Too much damn talking..Wayyyyyyyyyyyyy over-rated...

everyone has a right to their opinion,  but i dont see how metal gear has too much talking,  whatever talking there is,  it\'s essential to the game\'s realism and storyline....just like an rpg,  in which you have to talk to a million people to move along in the game and understand the story....atleast metal gear\'s voice acting is \'the best\'....unlike the resident evil and shen mue games,  in which the smallest dialogues were annoying.

Shenmue has even more talking and a lot less gameplay than MGS.

Still I\'ve been enjoying Shenmue the last days but it didn\'t turn out to be that good of a game after all.
It\'s like an interactive movie where you press a few buttons to keep the story evolving.

[Evi]

I love Metal Gear Solid and I can\'t wait for the sequel.  But that\'s just me.  A lot a people have been raving about the next game in the series, and it makes the people who dislike the game a little distraught.

It\'s okay though...everyone has their tastes...
