Just in case anyone missed it- if you don't view all the briefing files in MGS1 you'll get an alternate cutscene.

Speaking of alternate cutscenes, there are 4 more that I recall.

- Completing the VR Missions prompts a comment from Snake during the Codec conversation on the Helipad.
- Not picking up a SOCOM prompts an alternate cutscene with Meryl, with different music.
- Not being spotted up to the air vents in the Tank Hangar omits the cutscene where the guards discuss about a second intruder.
- Killing the Ravens will prompt a comment from Vulcan Raven when you meet him.
- Calling Miller during the before he tells you about Naomi will trigger a correction from Miller regarding the Ravens, as Snake mistook them for crows. This carries over when you call Otacon as well.

Didn't know about the VR missions or not picking up the SOCOM, but the rest of that stuff I remember.

I remember Master tells Snake that he's part Japanese, which would explain why Raven says that "we share many ancestors you and I." I forget what you have to do for that one, probably call Master after the Raven fight.

MGS1 and 2 had TONS of easter eggs that took me years to discover. I think I'm the only one here who got Snake to express his jealousy on Raiden if you perform much better than him during the Arsenal shootout, he will say something along the lines of "Since you have the time to call me, why don't you worry about yourself?"

Nothing. Just call Miller during the Raven fight.

I remember that. I don't necessarily think he was jealous though

Snake is like the Terminator in that section.

I struggled with that part on Extreme for ages

I'm still stuck on the RAY fight

You never got past RAY on Extreme? I had trouble with Extreme the very first time. I mainly was stuck on the Harrier.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Nah not yet, i haven't been back to play it for awhile

Once i figured out how not to get blown up by the rockets the harrier shoots when its hovering on the top platform it wasn't that hard. I'm sure I'll get a groove for the RAY battle and finish it

I needed a break from MGS2 at the time, i was going for the plat and all the dog tags etc burnt me out. Only for me to realise i missed the last dog tag from the dude in strut E after the sniper section in hard mode

I need to go back and lube myself up on MGS2 again though otherwise I'll never get past it, i was in the zone at the time too and still couldn't do it. I need to do the VR missions as well as the extreme run on MGS4

I've sort of been putting it off

[Frank Jaeger]

In all honesty, I'm not usually one to play the extreme difficulties for trophies but i got the itch

 

[Snake Plissken]

I still need to get the Platinum in MGS2... but after Ryan saying how difficult the VR missions are... I don't' want to bother. I've been getting all the trophies in GZ though, they're easy.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

VR are painstaking but worth it once you get past the problem ones imo

I haven't done anymore of GZ but i may

Off topic, but I just realized that Big Boss from MGS 4 has an uncanny resemblance to that foul-mouthed dead man, George Carlin .

[Snake Plissken]

Big Boss looks good all scared up, minus his forehead erection... I hate that his appearance we all knew is now retconned, even right out of MGS4.

 

[Solidus]

And mentioning significant character changes, since when was Master Miller missing limbs? It seems like MGS has deviated into an alternate universe.

 

[Snake Plissken]

My question is... where the hell is Campbell and Jaeger?

 

[Solidus]

My question is, do they even exist?

 

[Snake Plissken]

I think they were sucked into the Langoliers alternate reality

 

[Solidus]

that Stephen King movie freaked me out when I was younger.

I guess one of the reasons why Peace Walker seemed so odd, was that there weren't any of the old characters; absolutely nothing to harken back to any of the previous games. No Ocelot, Campbell, Eva, or Jaeger. I was really expecting to see them back in 2010. But, instead, I got treated to Chico and several people whose names meant "Peace" .

 

[Snake Plissken]

This is exactly why MPO > PW.

 

[Solidus]

Absolutely .

But, I still hated the whole "Null" concept from MPO . Why couldn't Frank just be a normal guy in his younger years?
