Games: What games are you currently playing? [OT!]

[Cataferal]

I agree. Thats one thing i really have a gripe with in the original MGS. However, i cant imagine how they would lengthen it any further, everything is resolved, and in my opinion it had good pacing.

On the other hand, i found MGS3 to be a lot longer. The first play through took me over 20 hours, and i didnt get all the items and camouflage. Considering there are 4 alternate endings and a variety of different ways through the game, i found myself clocking around 50-60 hours to see all the various cut-scenes (including the strip-tease XD). Theres a lot more replay value, and its longer; however i prefered the original MGS story for being a little more realistic.

That's it! perhaps, it took me 16 hours to end CSOTN, and i found it very good while it lasted, and also, it has a replay value.

But Metal Gear is just too short, it leaves you wanting more, even with the replay value...

By the way... how do you get the cloaking device?

[Cataferal]

Ah, this is where the replay value of MGS comes in. There are two endings. One if you survive the torture, the other if you dont.
I dont know whether you gave in or not, but if you do the opposite on your second play-through, you should get stealth, and the alternate ending.

Okay... i endured it [img]tongue.gif[/img] (using a dirty trick of the emulator... to press much more times the circle and get more life, i slowed down the emulation speed XD)

There are also a lot more of extras in Metal Gear Solid... I wonder... the modes in which you could "examine" Mei Ling and Naomi are in the Metal Gear SOlid game, or in the VR missions expanded disk?

[Cataferal]

You could examine them, as well as play as the Ninja in Special missions. The add-on is ideal if you wanted more of a "gaming" experience from MGS. Im not sure if you'll be able to play it through an emulator though, since it requires swapping with the original MGS.

[melfice]

Mmmm.... i don't think there is really any trouble emulation even emulates the disk swapping thing.

IRT Xel: One month?! That sucks. I'll have to play during my halfterm...

I'm becoming immersed in "Way of the Samurai 2" all over again (I haven't played it for about a year). It is incredibly fun.

[Cataferal]

Ive got a lot of games to be getting on with, so i probably wont be able to play WotS2 for a while (although it would arguably be good to play at the same time). Currently i have Xenosaga and Resident Evil 4 on my plate.
