Metal Gear OOPS thread.

[A.G.]

Let's start this one about all the flaws in various Metal Gear games. You can include ALL the games, official and not. List things that are stupid, things that are mistakes, and just plain things that don't add up.

I'll start us off.

MGS: The guard AI is BAD! Shot him, hit him... as long as you hide afterwords, no alert is signaled. You can abuse the hell out of the guard, but as long as he doesn't hear or see you, you'll just get a "huh?".

MGS2: Due to time/budget/technology issues, cutscenes were replaced with Codecs, even when the people were standing next to each other. Think it works? Try talking to your friend on the phone while standing right next to him. See how you feel.

[Genaside II]

As far as MGS2, when you hit the bosses in the damage spot, they start flashing where you can't hit them. Very outdated if you ask me.

[A.G.]

Huh?

what did that happen?

[Genaside II]

Okay, well shoot Vamp in the head or knock down FatMan and they start flashing where you can't shoot them.

No one understands me

I get ya.
Whenever i fight vamp i pull out the stinger and pump him with rockets.
It takes out half his health then stops but the actuall character doesn't flash.


Here is one of mine.

In MGS1 when you first start and go near a camera snake says "A SURVEILLANCE CAMERA!!!!!!!"

How is that a big deal?
HE IS AT A NUCLEAR WEAPONS DISPOSAL FACILITY FFS!!!
THERE SHOULD BE MORE CAMERAS IF ANYTHING!

(Yes i know its not really a weapons disposal facility but at that point of the game the player and snake is supposed to think so)

[Econs]

In Twin Snakes (which I know most of you HATE but I think is a grand boon), when you get caught in the tank hangar, and the backup squad come to look for you, guess where they come from? NOWHERE! They come out of thin air. And if you try to follow them to where they came from, they run in circles, until you stop following them.

[A.G.]

Or watch where they run to. Once they're called off, they go to the second floor to the room where you find the cardboard box. They go in and vanish. ;D

I think mentioning Twin Snakes in this type of thread is almost pointless.

I think it's sufficient to just say "Twin Snakes" ;D

[-ANTH-]

Ha ha thats so true.
I think its because the levels were designed based on the PS1's capabilities and in MGS they used to come out of no where but that was because of poor AI and al that bullsh*t, so in twin snakes they also come out of no where.

[leon]

Got to love poor spawning points in the game...now lay some claymores around those spots

[-ANTH-]

Thats the problem its not a specific spawn point like in MGS2 when they would come out of either the entry or exit of a strut.

[Black Snake]

In MGS2 when they went into detail about EVERYTHING. Even the stuff that doesn't matter. I WANT TO FIGHT YOU VAMP, NOT LISTEN TO YOU BABBLE ABOUT HYDROGEN BOMBS!

[A.G.]

That was the other thing abut MGS2. On useless plot twist after another. The hydrogen bomb, Ocelot's version of the S3 plan, Solidus killing Raiden's parents. All of that was just useless.

[Genaside II]

So you would have rather had none of that stuff in the game?

[-ANTH-]

I dont mind it.
BUT why bother put the bullsh*t in when CLEARLY they badly explained the stuff that was important.
