Retronauts Micro 83: Metal Gear Mailbag
Added 2018-03-17 19:09:22 +0000 UTCWith Metal Gear Survive flopping and Hideo Kojima absent from Konami, the future of Metal Gear is fuzzy—or completely nonexistent. But, thankfully, Retronauts is a past-based operation, and there's plenty of Metal Gear behind us to look back on and discuss. On this episode, join Bob Mackey and Henry Gilbert as the two-man crew tackles you most burning questions about Metal Gear.

I do remember in metal-gear.net there was post of a guy who pirated the game and talked about Raiden as vague as possible. Community didn't believe him.

2018-03-19 17:52:45 +0000 UTCI haven't completed MGS3 or MGS5 (yet), but I've played through the rest and am a pretty big fan. I don't know why MGS4 gets so much flack, I really thought it was just a fun game all around. Maybe I need to play it again, because I don't know anyone else who still enjoys it anywhere near as much as the others.

2018-03-19 05:28:45 +0000 UTCThank you for responding to my letter. While I think MGSV has great gameplay, it doesn’t really provide what I felt the Metal Gear Solid franchise was all about. I guess for me “Metal Gear” was more about Tactical Espionage Action and less about whatever you could classify MGSV’s gameplay as. I’m not a fan of all the base building stuff that got added to the series in the PSP era either, but I loved the Ac!d games (which I believe is another pair of Metal Gear games Kojima had nothing to do with).

2018-03-18 14:46:51 +0000 UTCGreat answer, thank you! I have plenty of nostalgia for the PS1 era, but it sounds like MGS V is the way to go. You've steered me away from Twin Snakes at the very least, which I'd been deceived into thinking was an upgrade on the original.
