Reply #37: Oh, I like Snake. [View All]

I think I must be the only person on Earth that actually liked MGS2, but I didn't like it so much for the game but for the supreme slashiness of it. It's one of those situations where I think the fanfics & doujinshis are better than the source material, because they take the characters places my brain wanted them to go but couldn't in the game itself.

Of course, I also played the original MGS only once years and years ago and barely remember it at all, except that I liked it, so I wasn't coming into MGS2 with any prior baggage or preconceptions. That might have something to do with it, I think. :P

MGS3 looks supremely boring to me. Yay, another sneak-sneak-sneak game set in Vietnam. Because, you know, there's just not enough of those right now. Unless there's some hidden scene where Snake does a striptease or something, I think I'll be skipping this one.

I'm sick to death of everyone treating Kojima and all things MGS like it's the second coming, though. Then again, if you look in the Final Fantasy thread you'll see I don't have a single leg to stand on, so I think I will just shut up about now. :P
