I just saw the news. I'm not interested in the collector's edition, but it seems good. Never would I have thought people would want creepy baby toy versions of these characters, and folks like those, so I guess I'm not the guy to ask what would be good for fans.
The cover doesn't even seem real! It looks like a knockoff copy! I doesn't really matter. No matter how good the case looks, I'm only going to be looking at if for 5 seconds before it goes on the shelf.
I didn't see a release date. Did I miss it? I want them to take their time making the best experience possible. This is my most anticipated entertainment release of the decade! Well, unless MGS6 comes out in 2019. Kojima just said that MGSV was the last Metal Gear, so I guess that means a sequel is confirmed!
I know I'm the odd man out here when it comes to Solid Snake's character, but for me, he was just a lame version of Wolverine in MGS1. With how preachy it got, he might as well just looked at the screen and said, "Kids, it's okay to be yourself and you can love whoever you want. Now remember, say no to nuclear weapons!" The plot in that game is so good, but the characterizations are really silly. I think it has the best cast in the series, but sloppy execution when it comes to dialogue.
With MGS2, Raiden was a much more interesting character, which made Solid Snake seem like such a legendary badass. It's kind of like Superman stories. He's pretty one-dimensional, but if you develop the cast and the world around him, he seems so much more interesting. It falls apart when you put him with the rest of the Justice League, because he can't rely on that "Truth, Justice, and American Way," because every hero has that, plus more depth to their character.
I didn't think Snake was a great character until MGS4, which is very unpopular. The only thing wrong was parts of the scene where he meets with Meryl in Act 3, and that dumb ending of making him quiver and shoot the gun—as if he cowardly shot the gun in the air. I didn't mind him breaking down in front of Liquid's ship; it wasn't out of character, and humanized him further. Thankfully, the last we see of Solid Snake is helping Big Boss, despite how much torment he went through because of that man. I don't know. MGS4 is where I really fell in love with the character. On reflection, I always think MGS is the best for him until I play it. That dialogue messed it up. Some of developments don't resonate, because it comes off so cheesy. Not to say that MGS4 was a dialogue wizard. Although, I think some should remember Psycho Mantis' and Gray Fox's dialogue before getting upset at Eva's ridiculous tangents.
WTF Konami? I was like the only one here supporting the robo sex hand and you go a flip me the bird like that?
