The All-Around Gaming Thread

So I won't have to keep making new threads to be a fanboy about whatever great classic I've rented this week.

Currently on the first Metal Gear Solid. Rather problematic as it's been a good six years since I've played a PS2 game and I do not have a memory card for the PS1.

While depressingly dark, I did like the Game Over sequence. (Snake? Snake? SNAAAAAKKK-*gunshot*)

Pretty intriguing so far. I am currently just past

Spoiler:

Looking forward to playing the rest of the game when I get a memory card, I grudgingly turned off my system so it wouldn't melt. I debated just leaving it on...it's pretty interesting so far. I accidentally ordered all 3 MGS games when I just meant to order one, but I was only charged for the first so it worked out pretty well. If I like the first one, I might just buy the HD remastered version for the Xbox, as there's something satisfying about getting an Achievement and it would include another MGS game anyways (there's also no telling when my ungodly-old PS2 will give out on me-really, I'm trying to talk myself into dropping 35 dollars for games I already have, haha).

Anyways, any and all games can be discussed here, I figured it'd be easier than continually making threads about it. Well, that's mostly just me, but whatever.

Theyre doing an Xbox port of MGS? I will bludgeon them with cacti.

Ah, cool. I once played a little MGS. I only made it past that heliport area.

An HD version of MGS2, 3, and Peace Walker. And apparently the newest Metal Gear is coming out for Xbox.

I must admit, I find the PS2 controls a little hard to get used to, but it's been a while since I played anything but the 360. It's intuitive enough, it's just the player that's the problem.

Yeah, Tex, because of my Memory Card issue, it's not looking like I'll make it much further than the heliport either.

The Metal Gear series needs MOAR RAIDEN.

MSG, yes. I've bought the Collection for PS3, and after several distractions, I finally got to playing it. So far, the Collection has the trilogy, and lists them in in-game chronological order, So I'm playing the 3rd game first. Probably not such a good idea, but eh.

Chronology is great.

And yeah, that sucks, Shade.

Meanwhile, I've been slowly working on a play through of Sly Cooper.
