hey friend I have a question...
..do you have the metal gear series that came out early?

May I also add, Resident Evil is a series that was going great until they came out with:

Gun Survivor
Outbreak, Files 1 & 2
Resident Evil 4


4 ruined a great tradition with the way things were changed, such as the camera angle, and....humans injected with some mind control crap, and NOT being zombies? Sacrilege. Resident Evil 1-3 plus Code: Veronica are all true to tradition and remain as my favorites.

I do. If you buy Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence for PS2, the original MSX versions of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake are on the 2nd disc.

No way man! 4 is my favorite of all time sure it was completely diffrent but thats what makes it that much better. You obviously have not played it and beat it so dont knock it. RE4 orginated from a project meant to be Devil May Cry, but the change wouldve been to drastic from the orginal RE gameplay. RE 4 you get to shoot more and kill more, more physics interactions overall a good game. I recommend you rent and try again .If not im getting you a copy! Expectations for resident evil 5 are beyond belief but to say one game in a series signifies a decline in the series is propostourus

Ill agree with you on the final fantasy series ever since 9 I lost interest , also another series i lost touch with was Tekken.Not saying the newer ones arent good but after awhile it just became "meh" to me.

I wish they continue the street fighter series. I miss Ryu and that blonde hair guy.

most PC sequels are better than their first outing

hello thar

i love the metal gear solid stories. If not for the *meh* gameplay, definitely for just sitting down and reading about the plot of the universe. Its like my very own manly soap opera. I've never played the original Metal Gear series
While I think Vice City and San Andreas are 10/10s, I still hold my original top-down sprite GTA as an 11/10.

People claim video games to be a work of art. bleh! I think there are only 2 inductions into the "art gallery" and that would be the Silent Hill series and Shadows of the Colossus. Serially, the music, direction/presentation, characters, dialogue, and of course the story is what more games need these days! I don't think any game in the SH series has been a grand scale hit and Shadows was a high-renter until it became $20.

as we can see, i'm not from the 1980s.

Actually I did play it and that's how I know I don't like it.

The Metal Gear series went to shit about 20 minutes into Metal Gear Solid 2.

3 was without doubt the biggest disappointment in gaming history for me. Utter shit, I don't know how it marked so high.

And how in fucks name you can say RE was "going well" until RE4 and still call yourself a gamer absolutely astounds me. That franchise churned out more turds than my asshole on Chili Wednesday, RE4 was the ONLY game other than RE2 in the entire series that was worth playing. The "great tradition" you speak of with regard to camera angles was one of the worst atrocities committed on gamers, ever.

I agree that rehashing the same shit over and over again is bad, but honestly, Metal Gear didn't get better, RE did.

What exactly about MGS 3 didn't you like? Granted, Raiden was a major downer on MGS2 but still the game was a drastic improvement over the original MGS, graphics and control-wise.

As I stated before, RE was about tradition. Okay, the graphics and moving camera angles were great in RE4, no doubt about that, but come ON. RE was all about zombies, not humans under some kind of hypnotic/chemical control, that's just plain LAME.

IMO the fixed camera angles made the RE experience scarier, and made the "Survival Horror" theme.
