ost_uid0="SSJKarma"]you get to play as BIG BOSS ?
BIG DEAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its always been a game based off the SNAKE charcater that started from Metal GEAR on the old NES...
METAL GEAR : OUTER HEAVEN
METAL GEAR 2 : SNAKES REVENGE
METAL GEAR 3 : SOLID SNAKE
METAL GEAR 4 : SONS OF LIBERTY
in all those there was snake in the story so at least the fourth one wasn'T a total faillure story wise !
if there are no snakes int he fifth one, then there is no METAL GEAR as we know it !
don'T take me wrong on this... i love the metal gear series...
but what you are talking about right now, isn't a love for the game,but a love for the GENRE !
its not the same, if you loved the series then you would be as disappointed as me to see this game coming down to his knees cause they removed the head character that made the game what it is !
its like watching
ROAD RUNNER AND COYOTE, but no ROAD RUNNER
see where i go !
its gonna be a big FIRST PERSON SNEAKER, like SPLINTER CELL... but without SNAKE there are no real deal about calling this game METAL GEAR
SOLID cause the SOLID referred to the legend !
also, at the end of the first MGS... he says to meril that he is called DAVID...
did you know the guy who voice acted SNAKE is called DAVID HAYTER ?
yeah, the david came form his name ![/quote]
dude big boss is the badass of all badassses. Snake would not be in the metal gear series if not for big boss. and Im sure mgs fans would like to have the background story of the man behinde solid and liquid. the metal gear solid series isnt all about snake(but he is the hero) ...its been based on METAL GEARS(the giant weapons of mass destruction)
and big boss and snake are pratically the same person(he is his clone you know) and im sure snake got his code name from his "father" before him.
and who are you to say that we are in love with the genre?
metal gear is what is because of it's tactical espionage. shoot you could have sonic in there and still people will play it because they love the whole sneaking stealth feel to it.
i know that its sort of a downer that snake probably(you never know) isnt in it. but i don't hear you whigning about sons of liberty when raiden became the hidden protagonist.
