(like if a movie series had a prequel that released after the first movie would you watch the prequel before watching the first movie or after the first movie when it was released)

#playing mgs3 has got me thinking abt how different my experience w mgs1 and 2 mightve been if i had played 3 first. so now im curious

[zaddyazula]

i need a new game (series) to play does anyone have any recs

#once i finish mgs1 that’s it for shorter games #everything i’ve been played since i got my xbox i’ve already played or seen before so i need a new game or series to go through #preferably on game pass #zad talks

hm it is perhaps time for a Video Game. it is friday evening and i am allowed to rest. amen.

#started mgsv over again today because i hate myself #but also it's been like a year since i last played the story so sigh i figured i'd start it over #it's just that i have come to absolutely fucking hate the opening #like it's FINE it's just that you play it twice per playthrough and i have played this stupid game. so many times. #it loses its novelty quick #was at the sahelanthropus fight last time which again is fine it just takes too long and i don't care #velegrin it sounds like you don't even like that game. do you even like that game? #the answer no but also yes <3 #though might crack and put in mgs1 #solid snake my beloved #was worried about the quality of the remaster and yeah it might end up being not-as-good as existing emulators #but GOD lots of little details and extras that i appreciate #oh wait you know what i'm going to play mgsv i just remembered my wife kazuhira miller

[mencnfire]

*holding my boys in my hand*

i just think they're neat

#we've been playing the collection ofc #and mgs2 is as great as always #mgs1 was stellar i still get upset about miller tho smh #(ooc) #im gonna try and post here a lil more and heid #this blog will get a revamp though :) i was gonna add muses but idk

[angryisokay]

"what's wrong snake?"

idk man. my freak 'brother' with "all the recessive genes" somehow survives a helicopter crash, and a mech blowing up around him, and is still hearty enough to do 6x the damage i can land while being able to do shit like tackle me and stomp on me while i get to punch-punch-kick and that's it.

this fight isn't even going to be enjoyable to win. i just want to progress the game.

#been playing mgs1 - the boss fights are tedious and not rewarding

#mgs #snavid #solid snake #mgs1 #metal gear #metal gear solid #hai tumblr im. back #chabrugmina #so im playing twin snakes for the sake of reliving mgs1 and i. forgor.. . how much i adore this guy. ... #by forrget i mean its been what a month since i played mgs1 for the first time. i already miss this guy #Spotify

[0possil]

i have been playing mgs1 with the mentality of "fuck it, we ball" and "if i run fast enough, the bullets cant catch me"

#im so close to seeing my babygirl hal #also now i understand what people mean by mgs has bad female writing #yikes #metal gear solid #mgs #otasune #solid snake #otacon #im so bad at mgs lol

[demilypyro]

Coming into MGS1 having never played that but having played MGS3, Peace Walker and MGSV a bunch of times was super funny from a lore perspective. Ocelot rattles off his credentials and it only tangentially matches what he was doing in 3 and V. Miller shows up and all I can think about is how much Peace Walker was openly shipping him with Snake's dad. And the whole game I'm thinking about Zero and Cipher and having to remind myself none of that had been written yet.

plss gimme the fucked up ocelot/liquid dynamics

i dont know if this is gonna make any sense because i just wrote it in a haze but

i definitely think ocelot is weird about all of the bibo clones. he has way too much fun torturing snavid, and he works closely with solidus during mgs1-2. those two look the most like bibo, so ofc he has a strange attraction to them.

for liquid i think its a little more complicated because a) he met liquid as a child. but he didn't watch him grow up, and i dont think he felt any kind of familial bond with him. he was an annoying little shithead for a few months and then he fucked off into the wilderness to live with a bunch of other feral children.

and b) due to the whole liquid-miller situation. i have a lot of thoughts on ocelhira and how it mightve played out, and half of them contradict the rest, but i do think ocelot genuinely liked kaz and liked working with him. whether or not that was reciprocated is where my contradictory thoughts lie. they likely worked together post-1984 in foxhound, but it's unclear for how long.

so fast forward to 2005 where hes working with liquid, who has grown up into a handsome man who, aside from the hair, is the spitting image of big boss. hes more vindictive and hateful, but still eerily similar. his motivation to create a safe place for the genome soldiers mirrors big boss's goal of a nation of soldiers. and hes willing to blow up the rest of the world to do it. hes got a similar inspirational charisma that lands him leadership of foxhound, commanding the rest of the mgs1 bosses and the entire genome army.

so not only does ocelot draw parallels between him and big boss, which has tangled romance feelings involved, but also when liquid decides to kill miller and impersonate him, ocelot gives him a lot of information in order to be convincing (im assuming). tapes and videos and records to get to know miller better, and ocelot watches him literally transform into a copy of younger miller, very similar in age to when ocelot first met miller. (assuming they met at some point after 1975, kaz wouldve been early 30s, and liquid is also early 30s in 2005).

liquid's impression is of foxhound miller, but its probably still uncanny and takes ocelot off guard. so now hes contending with his past relationship with big boss AND miller, with whatever insane feelings he must have about the two of them focused into one guy.

the entire time this is happening, ocelot is working to undermine the entire plan and conspiring with solidus. so he doesnt fully respect liquid nor does he take him seriously. their interactions with each other feel like ocelot is just going along with whatever liquid says, because liquid thinks hes in charge. ocelot is willing to be insulted and humiliated by liquid to advance the overarching plan. (solidus' to overthrow the patriots using the data stolden from REX, ocelot's to later betray solidus and maintain the patriots. all that fuckery.)

but i think ocelot is having the time of his life during this. it feels like working with big boss. it feels like working with miller. every time liquid puts on the sunglasses or gives an order as the boss of foxhound, its like standing in the room with one of two ghosts that feels entirely real. thats gotta be confusing as fuck. but also hot.

so i think ocelot has a lot of conflicting feelings on liquid but ultimately is attracted to him, not for who liquid is, but for who he reminds ocelot of. its something ocelot can have a little fun with while still achieving his overall goal of supporting the patriots. (until its his turn to overthrow them. jesus christ ocelot why is your plan so convoluted.)

meanwhile liquid i think believes ocelot IS the foolish old man he portrays himself as during mgs1. he didnt respect ocelot when they met in the 80s, and he still doesnt take him seriously in 2005. i dont think liquid is interested in ocelot at all. if anything, it would simply be for the power trip of controlling his father's former right-hand man. possibly feelings of anger/hate from ocelot's close association with big boss. he probably realizes ocelot has some kind of feelings toward him, maybe not realizing the extent of it, but uses this to his advantage. perhaps he even believes this is why ocelot is willing to endure the insults and humiliation.

overall i think their dynamic would be strange, nostalgic pining against a somewhat bitter distrust and disrespect + a mutual feeling of superiority/incompetence.

they both think theyre taking advantage of the other. ocelot wants what he can no longer have, because both miller and big boss are dead. liquid is a stand in for them. liquid thinks hes in charge and in control of shadow moses, and he doesnt take ocelot seriously enough to consider something else is going on behind the scenes. he focuses his anger at big boss towards anyone who was associated with him- snavid, miller, ocelot. they both use each other as proxies to channel strong emotion.

its fucked :]

actually this is a good chance to get to know you a bit better. top 3 animals, top 3 colors, top 3 games

Top 3 Animals

1) Crocodiles — There used to be many saltwater crocodiles back in my mom's province. These are the largest reptiles in the world so just seeing them (from a very far, safe distance away) is pretty awe-inspiring. One of these was so gargantuan we put a replica of its skeleton on display in the national museum in Manila, hung over the lobby. We also have Philippine Crocodiles which are endemic to the country, but I've only seen juvenile ones at a zoo since they're endangered and all.

2) Turtles — There are very few experiences like being on the beach and seeing a sea turtle in the wild. One time we were on a fishing boat and someone screamed, I thought for sure it meant someone spotted a shark, but when I leaned over to look, there was a sea turtle poking its head out right above the coral reefs to watch us. There's not many perks to living in the tropics, but this is one of them.

3) Kulasisi — These are very tiny parrots (I think the smallest in the world even?) that aren't common, but can be found virtually anywhere. One of my favorite classes back in college was birdwatching, where one of our sessions found a couple nesting pairs right outside one of the buildings. It was because of that class that I realized it was a Kulasisi that was making the bird calls I would hear when getting up in the morning to go to class

Top 3 Colors

1) Purple — My grandmother's favorite color, and mine eventually. I used to be a blue person until I shifted to darker purple and violet as I got older

2) Blue — I still like it

3) Black — I really liked the Matrix

Top 3 Games

I'm a big gamer (enough that I went into gamedev for a living despite everything) so this is probably the most malleable list. I'm not difficult to please and generally like a lot of stuff, so a top 3 favorite games list could look very different each time, barring one game.

1) Dota 2 — I have over 5000 hours in my favorite game of all time. Picked it up in 2012, and then it was all over for me. I can go stretches of up to 6 months without touching the game, but when I reopen it, the hype comes flooding back.

2) Devil May Cry 5 — I continue to hold the opinion that DMC5 hit the platonic ideal of stylish action game design, V's lack of depth notwithstanding. The game has been out for 5 years and people are still uploading new runs, finding all these tricks and secrets in the game just as they did with DMC3 and 4 before it. If Dante only got wall running and Wild Stomp back from 3, it might be as close to perfect as you can get. Devil Trigger and Bury The Light are also among my favorite video game songs of all time, among the likes of Killer Instinct's or Metal Gear Rising's

3) Metal Gear Solid 4 — MGS3 is the better game, MGS1 and 2 are more iconic, but MGS4 rescued the PS3 from irrelevancy before Uncharted 2 made it big. Holy shit that game looked unbelievably good when it first came out. The way Snake would lie still and camouflage into the floor while bullets sprayed the ground right in front of him while mooing mechs and soldiers were mere feet away blew my mind.

Games like Resident Evil 4 three years earlier really popularized making cinematic cutscenes that were rendered in-game rather than pre-rendered, but I didn't realize the possibilities behind it until MGS4's Raiden vs Vamp. A complex action scene where Raiden and Vamp had a sword duel would always be cool, but what pushed it over the top was that you kept playing the whole time it was happening. MGS4 would split the screen, playing the cutscene in one half, while in the other you had to carry on with your mission, and goddamn that sure was a moment of thinking "Wow this really is next gen"

Been playing mgs1 lately…

[exeggcute]

right now I'm playing mgs1 for noelle (whose only exposure to the series so far is mgsv) and the number of times we've been watching a cutscene and she asks a question right before snake asks the EXACT same question is insanely high and extremely funny
