Re: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

We are ALL sad. Not just you man .

I know. And we all deserve to vent about this. I just wanted to refer to my own posts and say I still would talk about positive things for this game, if someone came to this thread to spazz. Just trying to cheer myself up.

Re: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

If you want David Hayter to sit out on JUST this one then SAY IT. Sheesh, it's not that hard, Konami.

Yeah I know, that would certainly calm the water a little.

I know. I just wanted to apologize for my own posts, I didn't want to scare away people who wanted to come here and spazz about the game, but I think we all deserve to vent about this.

No need to apologize and speak your mind. At least here on Sideshow we're (probably) all working adults. So let your opinions be heard and if you disagree with a fellow forumer tell them why. I ran away from Gamafaqs because they were just too many annoying people there.

That's also exactly why I left Gamefaqs! And thanks for your words, I think my constant apologizing is a side effect from offending people on other forums even though I always try to be nice, or people arguing with me for no good reason. This is the first time I've ever been able to talk on the internet about MGS with civilized people, I feel right at home here already, thanks to you guys.

Same here, too many condescending jerk offs there and they all lap certain members ***** who apparently are MGS gurus

Life could be worse y'know. We could probably end up with a soulless remake of Escape from New York. Oops.

I pray in stays in indefinite development hell, it will be poorly casted and poorly executed. Carpenter has let go of all this great films to these stupid studios. They did that terrible Thing remake, and now they want to destroy EFNY.

Gamefaqs is a cesspool of trolling and terrible people.

Escape from New York is classic John Carpenter and 80's goodness, definitely give it a watch.

Escape from LA is OK, not great but the way he inserts to LA was totally ripped off in MGS1 with the SDV out of the sub

Re: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

I was aware of the references of EFN in MGS, but I never really wanted to watch it until now, thanks, I definitely give it a watch.

The shark...swallow you whole...little shakin'....little tenderizin'....'n'down you go. Now we gotta do this quick. That'll bring back the tourists, that'll put all your businesses on a payin' basis. But it's not gonna be pleasant. I value my neck alot more than three thousand bucks chief. I'll find him for three; I'll catch him and kill him for ten. Now you gotta make up your minds...wanna stay alive and ante up...wanna play it cheap; be on welfare the whole winter. I don't want any volunteers; don't want any mates; there's too many captains on this island. Ten thousand dollars for me by myself. For that you get the head...the tail...the whole damn thing.

Re: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Its awesome. It is aging gracefully. I like the 2nd too. I can watch the 3rd because i liked the cheese. I cant remember if theres only a 4th movie or a 5th. I have vague flashbacks of Brodys wife having some Revengeance and stealing a boat. And a scene swimming through a sunken ship being chased.

I though some of You might find this interesting:
https://metagearsolid.org/
This probably one of the best, if not the best MGS fan site. Lots of original content, and game analysies and articles (especially on MGS2)

And classic articles:
https://metagearsolid.org/classic-articles/

Sometimes the author may seem a bit pretentious, but he hits more than misses. Lots of good content here.

The original owner of that place was such a ****, I had a couple disputes with him when I was running my own site.

If I ever need info, I usually just go to thesnakesoup.com.

Re: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

I am sure I am going to get lynched for the following statement, but I am completely fine with Big Boss being voiced by someone else. Two completely different people in my eyes. While Solid Snake will always be Hayter to me, he didn't define the MGS series for me. It's always been about the interesting story and stealth mechanics. Should Hayter never return, I am sure I will manage to find a way to embrace the new voice actor (so long as he doesn't suck of course).

Btw, Nolan North is the best voice actor in video games.

 

[TheProcrastinator]

Re: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

I agree with that. And even if it will turn out to be a bad decision, it's definately not the end of the world as many here seem to think.

Besides, though Hayter has a strong fan follwing (as evidenced by the public reaction to his absence in V), there were always many amongst MGS fans, who thought his voice to be a bit lacking in acting chops departament. Too over-the-top in some moments.

The whole "gruff, gritty badass" is quite an easy gig to pull off properly. There's lots of talent out there that can make a great "New Boss". Besides, with all this talk of "change" and "giving the franchise a whiw of fresh air", it may turn out that Boss in V is quite a different person than his previous incarnations. After all, we are yet to see the version of Boss that was murdered by his own son.

I don't think that makes you less of a fan or anything. As I said, I understand that perspective completely, and I'm super excited for this game and buying it regardless. It's something that will affect cutscenes for me, but when I'm playing the real game for hours on end, I can imagine him with any voice I want, so I'll deal with it.

I'll admit I'd be even more upset if Solid Snake's voice was changed. After MGS4 and Peace Walker, at the time my theory was we would get Hayter as younger Big Boss and a new actor as older Big Boss. It's just disappointing that the playable character won't have that iconic voice. Letting Hayter go with little explanation and no word of his future with the series is a big part of the problem, like others have said.
