Even if you don't like Raiden, 3 and 4 are badarse games, especially 3. 3 is widely considered to be one of the best games on the PS2. Disclaimer: I'm a rabid Metal Gear fanboy.

COI Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 No, but the first solid was one of the best videogames ever What a classic. Didn't enjoy 2 nearly as much. Haven't tried the entries after that. All 4 games are If I were to recommend one to you, I'd say play 3 because it's a prequel to the first game and it's insanely awesome. #2 is sucky. When I play A MGS game I want to be snake not some effeminate pretty boy who can't tell what's real or a vr simulation. And do naked cartwheels Haters gonna hate. Without spoilers, that's one of the most memorable parts of any game I've ever played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Aldred Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I really liked the Playstation 1 MGS game, if that's the one Dan means? The trilogy pack on PS3 has been out ages in the UK, but it's still quite pricey for something which is basically just a HD upgrade of games from an earlier console.

Bronty Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Is there a GPA equivalent for VGA graded games?? No but pricecharting.com does track sales of ebay games including new copies. It shows the auction title which usually includes the grade, so its a starting point. However it needs a lot of interpretation as it doesnt tell you what variant, and non vga sealeds picked up by its program might include reseals... Etc. Starting point but only a starting point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking of MGS, anyone here like Splinter Cell? I thought the first 3 games were excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

october Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Opened up X-Com: Enemy Unknown the other night around 8 pm and the next time I looked up it was 3 am. Killer game, nice to see a quality strategy title on a console system. I never played the original, but might have to go back. So good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe_collector Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Graphics do cost money, but they also drive the industry (whether they should or not). The developers that made money this generation made A LOT of money, and it's in their best interests to push graphical fidelity as far as the tech allows. Developers who are struggling to hang on may cry foul, but they are not driving the industry. What rising development costs likely mean is fewer developers, fewer new IPs, and more indie games. The financial heavyweights will continue to push graphics. Of course, and as long as you don't mind playing CoD games all day then it's great. Just don't expect anything new or innovative as the next-gen platforms don't make economic sense for anything but sequels or spin-offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strategy isn't my favorite genre, but I may have to check it out at some point. It's a nice break from shooters, and a great throwback to the pre-MMO Warcrafts, Age of Empires, Castles 2 type games (though not exactly the same as any of those). Also glad to see some turn based combat and top-down views. Why does everything have to be first person these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
