Come on Dabookerman, even you must admit that Metal Gear Solid 2 just became silly in the end, it certainly made me keep saying; 'WTF'. The end kind of left me with a bitter taste which made me think badly of the rest of the game, but now I have learnt to forgive MGS2 and appreciate the fantastic parts of the game.

MGS2 was an awesome game but I also have to admit that the latter stages of the game were very disappointing.

 

MGS3 on the other hand is a different story.....

Wait, me admit what? The story being way ahead of its time? The fact that the patriots ended up being controlled by AI? And the fact that all of it was a rouse to create the perfect soldier? The perfect Solid Snake?

 

Where do you see the silly? I certainly don't.

 

Is this to just grab my attention?

Is it because people can't handle long cutscenes? Long codec sequences (which I repeat, are skippable)

 

Lets.

Yeah, the MGS2 ending did suck, that part about the mechs firing over the refugees and Snake saves them with a cloning gun, right before the meteor strikes them. A bit far fetched.

hmm... surely zelda can't slip towards the end, altho Wind Waker did, didn't it when you had to collect stupid amounts of rupees to give tingle money for maps...

i totally missed something. why is red steel getting "bad" scores? is it the controls?

 

yep i think so, its slow turning circles.

 

EDIT: Etoys major problem with it was the sword play not being responsive enough,

I know it was mentioned above but wasn't sure if everyones read it yet:

^-- Red Steel Review. Decent review overall. Multiplayer best part of the game. [JIST: Very poor AI As we all anticipated months ago, tedious sword combat that actually detracts from gameplay, inconsistent graphics and control issues but fun overall].

Play it through to the end, and then decide.

Yesterday, there were a bunch of you guys knocking Battle Royale 2, but Flaight ended up liking it. Maybe you'll like this two, you ain't gonna know til you finish it.

Can anyone tell me why there are three different avg. ratios on the gamerankings site? The one near the top of the page says 98% and the two others further down say 98.3% and 98.4%

 

http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/928519.asp

 

I can answer that question, being the review expert, the 98% at the top of the page is rounding to the nearest decimal in .5 increments taking into account the scores from publications that are BOLDED, in other words, eligible to be added to the average ratio score. The 98.3% represents the average rating of all scores (Its 5 + 10 + 10 + 9.9 + 9.6 + 9.5 + 9.9 [not bold] = 63.9/65 = 98.30) Then you have the average ratio which is the scores from each publication out of 100 marks (Its 100 + 100 + 100 + 99 + 96 + 95 + 99 [NOT BOLD] = 689/700 = 98.42. But seeing that publications that aren't bolded are not eligible to be added to the average ratio, the average ratio in reality is 590/600 = 98.3, hence the 98% above with the rounding down to the nearest .5 increment.

Lets.

 

codec sequences are essential to the game.You can't skip them For the first time.If you do you won't have a clue what to do next.You were forced to watch them telling you you're ruining your eyes and to reset the game.It was hilarious but didn't suit the game

Who are you gonna believe, me or them?

It does not go downhill.

Because MGS games are not allowed to have humour.

I'm guessing you would support this game to the grave anyway.I love the game.Not saying it's bad but everyone can see the decline in quality at the end except you

If by downhill, you mean uphill and since a uphill cannot go downhill, its certainly a uphill.
