What do you think of the series? I think the games are fun, but sometimes I think that Hideo Kojima just goes so far out there that I think he's lost his mind. As long as he makes good games, I could care less what kindof hair-brained stories he comes up with.


I just picked up Snake Eater today. (Don't care about multiplayer modes and crap in subsistance)
The food thing is annoying, but everything else is pretty enjoyable.

I've been a long-time MG fan, all the way back from Metal Gear on the NES. (I've also played Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake on the MSX, not to be confused for SNAKES REVENGE, to which my shameful parents got me for christmas back in the day).

Thoughts?

Movement in general felt.... weird somehow. You seemed to be gliding instead of running/walking.
Then the way you switch items and weapons, and how you use them. I would often forget that I had cigarrettes equipped, until I got into a firefight and realized my health was next to zero.

And I always blew myself up when trying to use grenades...

I agree, but I never used the cigs. The Grenades are impossible unless you happen to be using a wall for cover. Even then the distance honestly is too hard to guess.
For switching items, I agree also, if you happen to be moving or doing something else when you want to switch, you're more than likely going to mess up the switch and end up with the Coolant Spray instead of a SOCOM. xD
And I totally agree on the throttling part. I've gotten better at that now, but I still do it occaisonally.
I really am making it sound like I suck at the game, but I can beat it European Extreme. I have gotten used to the controls, but they always seem a little wierd.


Has anyone by chance tried Metal Gear Acid? I really should just check a review, but I'm rather lazy to try..xD
