Rush Hour is well funny! and Rush Hour 2

If I want to entertain myself I go to the facebook page and read the replies

I was only there today chuckling to myself actually reading everyone trying to, and not to justify Quiets attire

I've been banned from quite a few of then, mainly for mouthing off hate about Hayter's firing.

Rush Hour 1 and 2 are great! 3 was a mess though.

I had no idea Jackie Chan hated these films.

Saw this trailer of Hayter voicing the winter Soldier. Yup, he can still do MGS1 Snake

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Man that bit where he says "I'm not anybodies weapon anymore, I'm here for my own reasons" could have been straight outta MGS1

Definitely. Makes me want him in another MGS all the more.

One last Solid Snake game with Hayter as VA

Come on kojima...

Saw this trailer of Hayter voicing the winter Soldier. Yup, he can still do MGS1 Snake

Funnily enough, he voiced Captain America in the 90's Spider-Man cartoon.

I have to eat my shorts, I didn't think he could do young Snake anymore, he totally can, and if he's not quite there yet, I'm sure they can digitally manipulate his voice a little to make it perfect.

We need the remakes with David for sure.

Figured this thread needed a bump...

I just saw the news. I'm not interested in the collector's edition, but it seems good. Never would I have thought people would want creepy baby toy versions of these characters, and folks like those, so I guess I'm not the guy to ask what would be good for fans.

The cover doesn't even seem real! It looks like a knockoff copy! I doesn't really matter. No matter how good the case looks, I'm only going to be looking at if for 5 seconds before it goes on the shelf.

I didn't see a release date. Did I miss it? I want them to take their time making the best experience possible. This is my most anticipated entertainment release of the decade! Well, unless MGS6 comes out in 2019. Kojima just said that MGSV was the last Metal Gear, so I guess that means a sequel is confirmed!

I know I'm the odd man out here when it comes to Solid Snake's character, but for me, he was just a lame version of Wolverine in MGS1. With how preachy it got, he might as well just looked at the screen and said, "Kids, it's okay to be yourself and you can love whoever you want. Now remember, say no to nuclear weapons!" The plot in that game is so good, but the characterizations are really silly. I think it has the best cast in the series, but sloppy execution when it comes to dialogue.

With MGS2, Raiden was a much more interesting character, which made Solid Snake seem like such a legendary badass. It's kind of like Superman stories. He's pretty one-dimensional, but if you develop the cast and the world around him, he seems so much more interesting. It falls apart when you put him with the rest of the Justice League, because he can't rely on that "Truth, Justice, and American Way," because every hero has that, plus more depth to their character.

I didn't think Snake was a great character until MGS4, which is very unpopular. The only thing wrong was parts of the scene where he meets with Meryl in Act 3, and that dumb ending of making him quiver and shoot the gun—as if he cowardly shot the gun in the air. I didn't mind him breaking down in front of Liquid's ship; it wasn't out of character, and humanized him further. Thankfully, the last we see of Solid Snake is helping Big Boss, despite how much torment he went through because of that man. I don't know. MGS4 is where I really fell in love with the character. On reflection, I always think MGS is the best for him until I play it. That dialogue messed it up. Some of developments don't resonate, because it comes off so cheesy. Not to say that MGS4 was a dialogue wizard. Although, I think some should remember Psycho Mantis' and Gray Fox's dialogue before getting upset at Eva's ridiculous tangents.

That's an odd complaint that actually makes Solid Snake sound even cooler


I think it has the best execution of everything in the entire franchise.


In my experience, I have never met a single person, not one, who has actually read a Superman comic, or actually knows the Superman character for that matter, and dislikes him or thinks he's boring, one dimensional, etc etc the only people that say such things (again, in my experience) are people who don't know Superman, the people who are only familiar with the "aura" of the archetype Superman "represents" and has been passed on by the mainstream, but not know Superman himself.

Superman is by no means one dimensional, and in fact, when you put him with the rest of the league, Superman is the one who sticks to the truth and justice stuff the most making it a staple that the rest of the characters follow as an example.

Dude, read The adventures of Superman #40 and #41, and tell me he's one dimensional, I dare you and there are plenty more examples.


I actually like the ending, because it's a big **** you to the people who wanted Snake to pull the trigger, fans included, Snake's a fighter, he's not giving up.

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

Yep, i guess it was horrible to dig up this thred but someone had to do it.

 

[krec9]

Recently started to play MGS1 again ****ing love this game.

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

i never get tired of it but i always like to take a long pace before a replaythrough.

 

[krec9]

Going to do 2 after this hopeful I would like it this time around its my least
favorite in the series.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

I used to not hold MGS2 in high regards, for me it's a game that gets better with age and the more you play it.

I did trophy runs for MGS2 3 & 4 last year and out of the 3 I enjoyed MGS2 the most.

I thought Metal Gear Solid 2 was the greatest game I ever played upon release. It was my favorite story in fiction! However, my favorite game on the PS2 was Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3. Everyone was playing it, and it didn't hurt that my friends and I were skateboarders! I just thought it was so darn cool that you got to play as the Eyeball Neversoft guy. Although, for some reason I would always choose Bucky Lasek.

Actually, until I re-visited the MGS games in hype for MGS4, my favorite PS2 games were:

1. Metal Gear Solid 3
2. Tony Hawk 3
3. Tekken 5
4. Prince of Persia the Sands of Time
5. Tony Hawk 4
6. Resident Evil 4
7. God of War (The story put it over 2)
8. God of War 2
9. Metal Gear Solid 2
10. Ico

On the PSOne, I think my favorite games were:

1. Tony Hawk 2
2. Tekken 3
3. Crash Team Racing
4. Metal Gear Solid

Prince of Persia was really the game that got me into playing single player games, since gaming was more of a thing to do with friends. I'm a sucker for romance, I guess! Then when I played MGS3.....it changed me! MGS3 is not just my favorite video game, but one of my favorite "things" in life. It's definitely flawed, but oh man, do I love it! Although, I actually played Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops more than it. That was the first game that I was ever addicted to.

I love all the MGS games, which I think I've shown repeatedly on the board. While I can list a bunch of flaws in them, I still consider MGS2, MGS3, and MGS4 to be "10's." The rest of the games, I still give an 8-9. I value something that I can find 100 things to like and dislike 10 aspects, versus something that I can only name 5 likes and dislike 2 aspects.

Might as well list my favorite PS3 games:

1. Metal Gear Solid 4
2. Rock Band
3. Dark Souls
4. Demon's Souls
5. Uncharted 2
6. Batman Arkham Asylum
