It wasn't raiden that ruined it for me as a kid. It was that long drawn out matrix style explanation ending

the controls are garbage tho.

Now yeah.

But the cumbersome controls worked back then, they built up the tension and difficulty. Nowadays you can run away from anything and do almost anything, makes the game easier and less challenging. Same reason why something RE1 was a classic for the tension, or TR was a classic because the platforming was punishing as fukk.

Yeah, lotta nikkas on the Coli are still 14 years old mentally :huhldup:

Do ya'll realize Raiden wasn't even talking to actual people during the codecs for a good portion of the game? Let that marinate
Right. Usually on message boards these people whine like little dikkriders and bytches about the game. "Bu bu bu bu..why did I have to play as Raiden? I wanna suck Snake's dikk". fukk outta here :camby:
The game was genius and creative in what it attempted to pull off.
With that said, MSG3 is the better game of the two but I play MSG2 the most and have an appreciation for what it was.

MGS3.... I couldn't get into. People loved it, and I still dont understand why it doesn't click with me. I guess I just feel like im playing more make up/dress up than anything else. MGS2 was one of the few games that lived up to all the hype it had. I can't think of a game to do that since.

MGS3 is the best in the series. MGS2 had the deepest story and best demo, however.

Played MGS2 demo for hours. Then ZOE dropped, bought it and played the MGS2 demo on it too.
