[8/31/04] Metal Gear Solid 2

[Wizard]

There are different type of great minds in the video gaming business. Kojima is one of them, but if you don't see, why should I even convince you?

 

Kinda like why I don't see anything thats popular with the WWE and their still people that still watch that bullsheit of wrestling.

 

Edit: Substance is fun, if you don't own the original MGS2, get Substance, if you already own MGS2, you're just missing out on just some VR, minigames and sometimes funny alternative funny universes.

 

Oh and SNK, please specifiy "Video Game Designer." All that means to me is nothing much.

What the hell do you mean? How can you not know what it means? Take a guess.

It means I design video game concepts, characters, stories and everything else. Basically everything that goes into a game (visual style, type of music, clothes on characters, what collectables are in the game etc etc)

 

And it's the other way around, it's you that doesn't understand why he is NOT a genius. Just because all the magazines, web sites and so on think he and his games are good, that makes you automatically think the same. It takes someone special to realise he is a joke. Videogame geniuses are Yu Suzuki, Shigero Miyamoto, Akira Nishitani, Hisao Oguchi etc. Kojima is just a wazzock who wishes he was in Hollywood, but isn't because he is completely useless. The only talent involved with MGS is Yoji Shinkawa, his artwork and character designs are excellent. Hideo "sucks" (to use vernacular you'll understand).

Lies or jealousy?

 

I remember so many people complained about this game's storyline. Like it was too confusing. Obviously it wasn't confusing to me.

[shin_nihon_kikaku]

It's impossible not to understand the plot, but the reason no one got it, is because it is appallingly written. Over-complicating a sh/t story with terrible plot holes and pointless obligitory Kojima twists.

 

Where did all this "not understanding the plot" come from anyway?

So basically, your the director.

 

You know you could of just said that.

The entire world. As in forums, magazines, etc.

 

No one (that complained) understood it cuz they are retarded. It wasn't difficult to understand the story of MSG2 at all.

 

Basically, 90% of gamers in this world complain about a game because it wasn't made the way they wanted it. You could, technically, change gamers to people and take about everything in this world.

No, a director who creates the whole ideas aswell. Mostly, directors don't contribute much to the design, just make sure everything put in is good quality.

[shin_nihon_kikaku]

If you completely understood the story, you wouldn't think it was something worth boasting about. It is only because you have to put so much effort in to try and work out what's going on in this mess of a "story".

 

People who think there is something to understand, and think they are clever for pointing out that they do are only saying it because in actuality, it confused the hell out of them.

 

Why don't you brag that you understood last week's episode of 24? Because outside of any "hidden meanings" the events are as plain as day to anyone.

... I don't watch 24.

 

 

This bickering is stupid. People, write some more reviews.

[Skythe]

Same.

I prefer 60.

 

I say plot is overrated in games. A game can have the lamest most cliché plot on earth but it can still be an awesome game.

[shin_nihon_kikaku]

OMG!!! (agozer and Skythe)

 

I used 24 as an example, stop wasting your time replying saying you don't watch it. Completely pointless.

[Wizard]

I like 24...

[Skythe]

Do you want some cheese to go with that whine?

That was the whole point.
