/vr/ - Retro Games

>>5641224
Snake Eater is my favorite overall but yeah, Ghost Babel is the best retro Metal Gear game.

>>5641236
First post, best post.

>>5641261
this old sack of shit looks and moves like modern indie pixel trash

>>5641275
Lowest IQ post I've seen in weeks. Congrats.

>>5641224
>mgs

>>5641301
Wait, I'm retarded I thought it was just metal gear ghost babel.

>>5641305
It was renamed Metal Gear Solid in North America since most gamers here weren't familiar with the older games.

>>5641275
Slow clap friend, slow clap. You're a special level of retard.

>>5641314

so it's not an mgs port or remake to gbc it's an actual different game?

>>5641350
it's kind of an alternate universe/non-canon sequel to the original metal gear

MGS3 > GB > MGS2 > MG2 > MGS > MG

>>5641364
MGS1 > MGS2 > MG2 (MSX) > GB > MGS3 > MG (MSX) >

>>5641364
Switch MGS2 with MGS and you get my ranking. I like all of them a lot though, MGS2 is still awesome.

>>5641224
Maybe not the best but easily the most underrated but it still has some annoying segments like the conveyor belt puzzle. The power outage section can also be annoying if you missed the NVGs, funny how you never get to actually see Owl of you miss them cause the cutscene is in total darkness.

Still a great game really liked how it continued the MSX style and made the game an alternate sequel to MG1.

>>5641292
>>5641329
give one reason why that comment is low IQ or retarded. It's simply stating a fact.

>>5641460
Show me a single modern indie game that looks like Ghost Babel.

>>5641635
Show me a dog and I'll tell you who you are

>>5641656
Mmhmm.

>>5641353
It's raiden training pre-MGS2

>>5642309
The vr missions are, but not the main game.

Conveyor belt, bomb placing, and door switch puzzles are much worse than anything in MGS. MG2 is the best game in the series.

>>5642343
This. GB is objectively inferior to MGS. Why is /vr/ full of click bait contranians?

>>5642343
>puzzles too hard for me! me can only handle brainlet-tier PSX MGS!
Git gud fag.

>>5642370
You too nigger.

>>5642638
stay mad

Snake's Revenge is teh most underrated MGS game. Everybody shits on it yet it's a more fun sequel than MGS2

This actually looks pretty good. Missed out on the GBC, just wasn't playing many games at the time. Going to play this for sure.

>>5642672
It definitely helps to emulate it, whether by PC or by a more recent handheld. I love Ghost Babel but it always felt a little uncomfortable to me because of the radar. A bigger display helps a lot.

>>5641460
Because it's simply good pixel art. Your statement is a tacit admission that you only like pixel art if it looks shitty which is both idiotic and hipster to the max.

Ghost Babel sucks.

>>5641656

>>5642721
This. Only poorfags who grew up with a handheld and no console like it.

>>5642738
>a handheld and no console
haha, can you imagine that?

>>5642738
Actually the GBC came out just in time for millions of kids to want one for Pokémon. I had never owned a Nintendo handheld before that.

>>5641224
Random question for you Europeans: Was ‘Game Boy Color’ spelled as ‘Game Boy Colour’ on your packaging?

>>5642901

>>5642924
based

Why don't you actually make an argument for it instead of bringing your shitty /v/ threads here

>>5642980
He got buttblasted in the other MGS thread so he had to make this one.

>>5642738
MGS is the ultimate poorfag Metal Gear since you could easily pirate it on your PSX or PC back in the day.

>being this butthurt

>>5641224
Hahahahahahahahaha. Fucking CHRIST the contrarians around here are legitimately retarded. Anyway, 3 > 2 > 1. Now go back under your rock.

>>5643043
>having a PC with internet to pirate the game back in the day
>a poorfag
Holy shit he is actually retarded

>>5642309

No

>>5643074
>he didn't get free burnt games from his piratefag friend
Wow, what a loser.

>>5643081
>had to rely on other people to play games
>not a poorfag

>>5643086
Thanks for proving that PSXfags were the poorfags of the '90s.

why you don't admit that you don't care about metal gear op?

>>5643092
>so retarded he makes shit up

>>5643104
Are you denying the fact that the PSX was the most highly pirated retro console?

>>5643112
>hes now just arging with himself

>>5643065
This is probably a bait thread, but liking Ghost Babel the most doesn't seem that unusual to me. It's a 2D application of MGS1's stealth in a game that stays more focused on stealth. Anyone that likes the MSX games will likely also love Ghost Babel.

>>5643114
This game probably acted as a gateway into the MSX Metal Gear games for a lot of people in the west as well. It definitely was in my case.

>>5643114
>This is probably a bait thread
Definitely a bait thread, but OP shitposting shouldn't ruin a good game.
>>5643137
I had played both Metal Gear 1 and Snake's Revenge (yes I know not Metal Gear 2) on the NES and didn't know about it originating on the MSX until much later, and glad I did play them. They are still pretty fun

>>5643065

>>5641224
metal gear acid exists

>>5643452
Are the Acid games fun if I don't normally enjoy CCG stuff but love the Metal Gear series?

>>5643469
sure its like a puzzle game more than a ccg

>>5643482
>its like a puzzle game

It’s is a contraction for it is or it has.
Its indicates possessive.

FUCK 3D metal gears and FUCK sonyggers

>>5645459
Why do /v/ and /tv/ post like this? I swear everyone on those boards thinks and types exactly the same. Probably the worst examples of hive mind behavior on the entire site.

>>5645459
go back /v/

>>5645459
why so much seething nintoddler

>>5645465
>go back /v/
ironic coming from a /v/irgin that likes mgs

>>5645476
you know so much about what /v/ likes maybe you should stay there.

>>5645470
>nintoddler
msx got the most good 2d metal gear games

try again seething gaystation nigger

>>5645478
why should i? i wouldn't fit in there, unlike you with your shit taste in shitty "games" like mgs

is the /ogg/ poster having a breakdown or what?

>>5645481
He was having a meltdown in the other Metal Gear thread, this one is sort of an offshoot bait thread to trigger him.

>>5645480
>your shit taste in shitty "games" like mgs
but im not the one who likes ghost babel

>>5645483
Good. That dork spends way too much time here.

>>5645484
ghost babel sucks too. everything metal gear related is utter trash

FUCK METAL GEAR
FUCK KOJIMA

>>5643065
>Hahahahahahahahaha
Yeah so anyways, the GBC game improved on what the MSX/NES Metal Gear titles had built before. Ghost Babel is the best Metal Gear game, but it is not the best Metal Gear Solid game.

>>5641224
I've never played a MGS game, apart from a few times playing the NES one as a kid and having no idea what to do. Is it worth going back to try now?

>>5645545
Not him but I deffinitely put it on the level of MGS, though I'd have a hard time picking which I think is ultimately better.

>>5645552
What kind of games do you like playing? Do you enjoy story and cut scenes?

>>5645558
Sims, strategic shit, air combat, I guess some action/adventure shit, sometimes a FPS if I'm in the right mood, some entry-level platformers and the occasional RPG. A game with a story is fun as long as it doesn't drag, I think the last story-based game I played was the first Asassin's Creed some months back. I'd sort of like to give the first MG a shot, it's been on my shelf since a friend gave me a box of NES stuff he found at a garage sale last year.

>>5645569
I think you'll probably dig it then. Start with the first one and go from there.

>>5645580
Cool, been hemming and hawing all day trying to pick something to play, think I'll go with that then.

>>5641224
You only claim that because it's a solid yet still overlooked game. If it were more popular you'd be flocking back to MGS2 like all the other contrarian faggots.

>>5645619
>MGS2
You mean MG2SS, right? Lots of people liked MGS2 the best.

>>5645786
No he's still pretending like MGS2 was unpopular and only contrarins like it lol

>>5645798
MGS2 was definitely hit with a lot of backlash shortly after its initial release. There was no shortage of used copies available at any GameStop back in the early 00s. If anything, it’s been reappraised over the years and is now thought of more highly.

Ghost Babel was shit. Now skateboarding on MGS2S was kino

>>5648174
>kino
Opinion safely discarded. Are you here because you're waiting for your /tv/ ban to end?

>>5647590
This. At the timeGamefaqs basically got derailed, because 90% of the site's traffic was people on the MGS2 board, bitching. And that lasted for months. And once the bitching died down, people just moved on and left MGS2 behind. That's why MGS3 was such a drastically different game. MGS2 was so hated and so controvercial that Kojima wouldn't even touch any kind of real follow up to it.

MGS2 has become more popular as time has gone on. But even now, older games like FFVII still fetch halfway decent prices, despite being quite common. While any copy of MGS2 goes for $5 or under. Even now, at the arguable height of it's popularity.

If you don't believe me, do some digging.

>>5641364
What the fuck?
>>5641380
Getting warmer.

>>5642309
Raiden training can be MGS1 as well

>>5648942
It's five bucks because it sold 8 million copies. I liked it so much I bought it back in the day, and the re release substance.
Fucking awesome game
>Not retro tho
>>5641224
Gameboy Color MGS is real fuckin good, I feel that most of the people giving it a hard time maybe didn't play it?
It translated MGS gameplay so well , and there's nothing comfier than handheld gaming

>>5641236
>Liking snake eater
Ehhhhhhhh
It was ok

>>5649323
Ghost Babel is great but I just can’t get enough of that 60s spy movie aesthetic.

>>5641224
Well I think it sucks to look at. I don't like the graphics much. MG1 and MG2 looked more visually appealing.

>>5649552
Yep.

Technically not retro because it was released post 2000?
But what do I care, I prefer this over a GBA or Gamecube thread.

>>5649610
>Retro gaming means consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games on platforms launched in 1999 and earlier.

>>5648853
Board only bans are really rare unless you get banned from boards like /trv/.

>>5641224
i wanna argue that MGS3 is the best but ghost babbel & MG2 are probably the only metal gear games i haven't played so i can't give you an opinion on them.

as for handheld metal gears i prefer MGA2 or MGPW.
