!! Who here sucks at Metal Gear Solid?
I do, I do!
I got MGS2:S for Christmas but have not played it as I've been waiting for TTT. Well, I got TTT yesterday, and... DAMN I really suck at it. I get caught and usually killed at least 3 times per room, and I'm only in the 3rd or 4th one! I enjoy playing it, but I don't know what to do... I can sneak past guard ok, but the securuity cameras always spot me. I really like this game but just can't seem to get it. Can anyone help?!
Egbert, I miss you...
Re: !! Who here sucks at Metal Gear Solid?
I'm trying to decipher this post. Is TTT Tekken Tag Tournament? Why did you have to wait for TTT before playing MGS2? I tend to run about a year behind on my games, but you've got me beat by a long shot!Originally Posted by Querjek
As for MGS2, you can usually see the guards before they see you, so shoot them. Or knock on the wall and grab them from behind when they come looking. The camera will not spot you if you cling to the wall. The first MGS had some sort of device that could temporarily deacivate the camera; I don't recall if this is in the 2nd game. The 2nd game is easier IMO.
TTT=The Twin Snakes... as in Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, an updated version of the original Metal Gear Solid.

Actually TTS=The Twin Snakes :P
Yeah, if you hug the walls you could usually get past most of the camera's. I haven't played the Twin Snakes yet but I do have the original...I heard they upped the difficulty in TTS so I'm not sure if that much has changed. There were plenty of times in the original when I would get caught and killed like crazy. Most of it wasn't that bad but some parts were a bitch...all I can say is to keep on trying, eventually you'll make it through.
You can use chaff grenades to disable cameras or just shoot them. Make sure you have the silencer before you start shooting cameras or you will set off the alarms.

Don't feel so bad. I STILL can't get beyond the first screen on the original PSX version.

I suck at Metal Gear Solid. I've been playing the game for about 6 years now. But I still get stuck at the point in the beginning where you're supposed to wait for an elevator. I always just end up running around while the guards chase me. I did make it up to the snow a couple of times, but they catch me in the lights!
I suck in MGS to, tried the original on the PSX and after the first elavator i gave up. Bought MGS2 and gave up after 2 hours of playing. I dislike the game to, not my kind of game
Tht's the problem... I really like the game, but can't get anywhere with it...I dislike the game to, not my kind of game

I'm awesome at, and love, the original PSX MGS. I don't like the MGS2 control system though (the first person option, specifically) so I"m worried whether or not I will enjoy TTS.
Well, I just made it past room 3... my total game time=44 minutes... I hope the next room has few guards *prays*

The only factor that I suck at here is that I can't get the Big Boss ranking. *EGO*
It's a damn hard game, I'll admit. So many points where death is random... anyone know how much harder Twin Snakes is compared to the original? Drexel said it was increased, but specifically what was altered to make it more difficult? The AI, I'm guessing...

Dig out my OWN thread on MGS: TTS if you want examples of how the AI was cranked up.
Yes, the game CAN be hard at times.....I'm proud to say, however, I have once again taken TTS and spanked it over my knee.

Well, I can't say much as I'm being whooped in Very Easy for the most part... damn trap doors... I got through Ocelot (1st time maybe?) and now am wondering just how long this game will be (2 GCN disks!?).The only factor that I suck at here is that I can't get the Big Boss ranking. *EGO*

Two ways to avoid the trap doors -- use your Infared Goggles and you can see them, or just run! They make a little 'ching' sound when they get ready to open, so stay on the move!
The best advice I can give you in general is to use patience, take out enemies and hide the bodies, avoid major firefights if you can help it, save a lot, and just think about the best way to get through areas. Calling your allies for help can give you a lot of usefull advice as well.

I never could get past the torture sequence in MGS. I gave up at that point because I was afraid I would ruin my controller if I kept trying.
I played through MGS on the PC. I didn't think it was all that great - lots of melodrama. I think we had a thread where we were laughing at the love blooming on a battlefield garbage.
On the PC it's a little tougher because it doesn't seem like it accepts an analog controller - it's only 8 directions. Makes it a little harder to aim. Some of the tricks for winning the boss fights have been removed, too (i.e. - the one where you have "two minds"). I beat it, though. I'm not going to get Twin Snakes, though, nor am I going to get the sequel.
For stealth games, the Thief series is way better.
You are startled by a grim snarl. Before you, you see 1 Red dragon. Will your stalwart band choose to (F)ight or (R)un?
I love Metal Gear, but although I am usually not a great gamer I always experienced them to be pretty easy if you play on a normal difficulty.
I suck at most Metal Gear Solid games. The only one I have had success with is Portable Ops on PSP.
Currently catching up on PSN, WiiWare, Wii U E-Shop and Xbox Live Arcade exclusives I missed.
