Guys, if any of you need a complete set of McFarlane MGS 2 figs, send me a PM with an offer.

First Hideo Kojima tweets that he's playing Uncharted 4 and now this:

https://wegotthiscovered.com/gaming...ma-likens-new-game-to-uncharted-the-division/

I guess we'll see a Nathan Snake soon...

 

[Snake Plissken]

Who wants to bet it's going to have needless gay sex between men and pedophilia? Peace Walker rules!!

 

[FSLAR]

Oh

oh that's bad

Sue the crap out of Naughty Dog! :

 

[Jameson Rook]

Remember all that Breaking Bad / GTA reference Kojima over and over again made when he was making MGSV? I guess he found his new inspiration. History is repeating itself all over again.

 

[FSLAR]

SUE! SUE THE MAN! Dismantle the oppression!

 

[Snake Plissken]

He's found his new material to rip off since he can't use Carpenter and Bowie's works anymore.

 

[Jameson Rook]

A real lawsuit almost happened. The rights holder to the Escape films went after Kojima, but they were dissuaded by John Carpenter because he was a fan of MGS2. While the news wasn't heavily publicized, Kojima/Konami dodged a bullet with that debacle.

Food for thought: Imagine how bad thing could have went, considering people have won lawsuits over ripoffs much less blatant.

After the debacle, Kojima went on record to contradict his origins of Snake. I still have the magazines where Kojima specifically mentions that "Snake" was indeed derived from Snake Plissken, all the way to his personality and eyepatch. David Hayetr also recently said Kojima wanted Kurt Russel to voice him in MGS3, yet here is back peddling on the whole affair:

As much as I respect Kojima's contribution to the industry, the man has become a hypocrite and has consistently proven that he could not own up to anything he says.

 

[FSLAR]

I would just love to see the fan reactions if Kojima was sued by Carpenter, and he actually succeeded. I can imagine them defending Kojima and saying Carpenter was in the wrong.

I wonder what it's about. Maybe we'll see something at E3. Maybe we'll even see Uncharted 4 DLC with an optional eye-patch for Drake... ugh.

That was a pretty crappy explanation by Kojima. But, on another note, I think he did a better with "Snake" than Carpenter and Russell ever did. Escape from New York is a cult classic, but they severely ran out of ideas after the first movie. I'm kind of glad that Escape from Earth never happened.

The series wasn't as established back then, and I can say that OG fans were much better at conducting themselves, than the fans who've just hopped on board the last several years. Also, there weren't any Internet forums to troll .

I'm not sure there's enough to win a law suit... Not that the characters aren't similar but in media every character is a copy of another in One or many ways.

I think Plissken is more of a rogue and more of a "bad" guy

 

[FSLAR]

I guess that's true Solidus, I'm starting to wonder how many of these fanboys are posers, or actual diehard fans from back during the PS or even MSX days....

We can all totally name one poser, who is certainly good at posing

He also sucked at espionage, was caught stealing from the Federal Reserve, and got put into the slammer. Sold Snake at least avoided jail time and knew how to do it .

One thing I've noticed, was that a lot of young kids got into MGS around Peace Walker's release in 2010. And even more with the announcement of MGS V. While I don't mind new fans, it's their general attitudes and argumentative demeanor that's a ****ing turn off. The fact is, if someone recently got into MGS, they aren't as invested as those who have been with it since the beginning, and it's pretty presumptuous for them to act like they are. But, it's not just limited to MGS, the same goes for any series - whether it's Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, etc. Fair-weather fans abound, they desperately seek approval from the "big boys", and they feel themselves entitled to a level of respect that wasn't earned.

I'm just thinking, Pliss recently got me into Berserk. I like it a lot, in fact, it's one the greatest manga series I've read. But, I'm not in the discussion forums, arguing it out with fans who've been with it for much longer than me, or providing my unique perspectives on the future a series that I never cared about, or the creative direction of the author that I never knew about about, until recently. I know there's at least one former member, who was like that with MGS - "she will be missed".

Christ I don't want to open up that can of worms again, but there's plenty of those douches in this place. I don't know why one needs to latch onto a person on a toy forum so hard and constantly lap their ass. One would assume, outside of a toy forum, their lives are very void of anything.

And speaking of "she", I think it's back and all the boys are swooning in the movie section. Nothing but predictable rubes.

I think it is really around Peace Walker's release that the series got more interest, might have been due to the PSP or something. Not quite sure why...I saw a lot for MGS 4, but strangely it may be Peace Walker. But you're right on those kids, my god. They do ruin a lot of things, like those ones who try to compare Sonic and Mario that we've joked about, even though Nintendo and SEGA have friendly jokes about that. Approval and entitlement, no other way to say it.

I've been intrigued by the series since MGS 3's release when I saw it in stores and tried a demo - I knew of it prior but never cared too much, liked the jungle setting though. Admittedly, of all things, Super Smash Bros Brawl is how I got my true introduction to Solid Snake. I was hype for Sonic more, and saw a lot of people into Snake...almost obnoxiously so. Some people didn't know who Solid Snake really was...and they got blasted horribly. Then those same kids didn't know who Link or Samus Aran was - on a Nintendo forum discussing Super Smash Bros no less - and they acted like it was no big deal. I'm not making that up. I'm questioning if they just said 'how do you not know Solid Snake OMG' to be cool or something. Oh and of course, you know how about my baggage for getting into MGS1 in particular.

On discussion of some things, depends on what it is but usually I'm not into discussing some stuff. Like Attack on Titan, I like it and got into it in 2014, but I never found a reason to discuss. Same with the likes of Kill La Kill though I did love that. I'd give opinions but it depends. The main reason I got into discussing MGS was since I fully experienced the franchise the same year I joined SSF, saw a new game and figured why not? Probably a horrible idea in hindsight...oh and that member, that is who I was referring to

This reminds me. There's a Berserk reddit and a fan site forum which are run by the same people, and I utterly refuse to post in there. They've been in it for 20 years and the place utterly reaks of arrogance. I don't put myself in a place where I know more than them, since they've been able to mull the series over for well over a decade or more. I'd prefer to just read theories than getting in the middle of it.

Funny how said person was back a few times already. Like I said before, this forum's going to hell.

I just ask you about the story whenever I have questions or think about something . That said, I've gotten back into it today. I hate when I start a chapter in this series, I have to force myself to put it down. The series is way too addicting for its own good.
