Ebi plays MGS1 for the PC

[hebbycakes]

You know


It's times like these that I am so thankful for having this computer gaming controller.


I may know what to do in MGS1, it doesn't change the fact that I'm still freaking terrified. XDDD I SWEAR, I AM SO HORRIBLE AT THESE GAMES, WHY DO I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

So anyway, I've been playing the trial of MGS1 for the PC, and am right now downloading the actual game. 8/

I've already died once because I keep forgetting which buttons I set the items menu to, and I couldn't figure out how to stop the guards from seeing my footprints.






OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH. IF I CRAWL, THEY DON'T SEE MY FOOTPRINTS.

... WHICH IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL I swear. like. sdjfk. I FORGET EVERYTHING WHEN I PLAY THESE GAMES, WHAT'S IT TO YOU

Why am I playing MGS1? Well, one, I'm playing an MGS1 Solid Snake and I want to remember as much as I can about how he is, as well as make funny fourth wall commentary. And second, when I was looking for textures from MGS1 (mainly so I could stick Snake's blankface everywhere), I found a trial for the PC version of the game. muahahahaha.

Now if only I record my awful progress via video. XDDD


I must say, I totally forgot about the "who's footprints are these" part, and found myself quoting Egoraptor on "WHAT THE FUCK I DIDN'T EXPECT THAT" Jesus, I swear, me and that guard were playing "RUN AROUND THE STORAGE BOX" for about five minutes straight. WHY COULDN'T HE HAVE A SHORT TERM MEMORY LIKE THE ALERT COUNTDOWN ;O;



Okay, so after sneaking around like a moron and avoiding security cameras (and squealing over Miller's voice, and then proceeding to wonder why I can turn around in vents while crawling a lot easier than I can when crawling outside of vents, I end up getting a message from Colonel going "USE ELEVATOR". OKAY. So, I head around a bit and run around on the floor and giggle at the sounds. I also think for a moment "Wow, I can't believe I'm doing this all by myseeeelf~". Then I realize I have to go down near the stupid tanks in order to get to the elevator. Ffff. Well, it wasn't so hard, except. Snake has this bad habit of pressing himself against the wall rather than PUSHING A BUTTON. I swear, I'd hate to be stuck with this guy on an elevator. "WILL YOU JUST PRESS THE FLOOR YOU WANT TO GO TO?" "I'M TRYING THE ACTION BUTTON ISN'T RESPONDING" "STOP LEANING AGAINST THE BUTTONS, SAGET". Anyway, then Colonel decides to CALL ME and say "LOL JUST PRESS DA BUTTON AND IT'LL SHOW UP IN NO TIME", of course right after I close the call, a guard spots me. fffffffffuck. I quickly equip my whatever the fuck (IN THIS VERSION IT NEVER RUNS OUT OF AMMO 8D... or is that normal?), and the elevator takes FIVE PRECIOUS SECONDS TO ARRIVE while I'm being turned to swiss cheese. I turn around and shoot the fucker in the head, then run into the elevator... Only to be FOLLOWED by soldiers. I guess the elevator randomly refuses to move until the threat is eliminated. So, I nom a ration and continue to eliminate the soliders, until finally it dings and I'm clear. Elevator goes up, my psyche goes down. I get out of the elevator on the right floor (IMAGINE THAT), and Meiling goes "OMG DARPA CHIEF". I love her accent in this game, even if it's not correct. She's so cute. After running into every door and wall I possibly can, I make it to the ladder. And that picture was posted because... Hell, how can I resist? XDDD "GODDAMMIT I KNOW HOW TO CLIMB A LADDER, JESUS CHRIST, OW MY EAR." I like the codec calls, personally, I just wish the trial version would LET ME CALL BACK. I want to call Miller repeatedly! DDD8


Eeee Johnny. XD I love him so, even though he's kind of annoying in MGS1. IDK WHY I FIND HIM ANNOYING I JUST DO


EWWWWWWWW MAGGOTSSSS WHY ARE THERE MAGGOTS IN ALASKA

ARE THEY... GENOME MAGGOTS?!

I like how I actually notice this crap now. And why the hell was Johnny taking a dump with his pants on. Seriously. I know he loses control of his bowels in MGS4, but there's a toilet right there, man! Seriously!

Okay, time to look at Meryl I guess, doop doop.



IS THAT A WOMAN? NOT HIM...

Because Snake has never seen another woman in his life. Maybe Meryl has facial hair in this game, but we can't see it because of the quality graphics. JUST SAY IT'S A YOUNG BOY, SNAKE, THAT EXPLAINS THE HIGH PITCHED PANTING.

Oh boy, I love this scene. Mostly because there's so much head bobbing action. But first



YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I still find Snake's face in this game endearing. It's just... so horrible, but I adore it. Then again, I find Purugly adorable and turtles even cuter. I'm surprised I didn't find Psycho Mantis' true face cute.

Also, I love the Darpa Chief's voice. Mmmm-mmm. I mean... the "DARPA CHIEF".


Uh... woops.

So, I accidentally skipped half of this scene, and ended right up on "Metal Gear... it can't be!" "YOU KNEW?" ffff PRESSING START IS NOT A WISE DECISION, EBI, WHY DO YOU DO STUPID THINGS

So it kind of looked like Snake popping out of the ventilation shaft gave Mr Anderson a heart attack. Geez Snake, you should be more stealthy. 8/ Totally wasn't my fault or anything. Listened to Meryl beat up Johnny while I ran around the chief's body in circles. I'mma go look for stuff under his maggoty bed now wooooo /o/ If anyone would like some MGS1 screencaps lemme know, I might be able to get some.



And so this is the last screencap I have for the trial, since the trial ends right after you kill the onslaught of soldiers that arrive with you and Meryl. And I love how I realize that my amazing gun thing auto aims. 8|;; WELL, THAT'S BETTER THAN Z TARGETING, SERIOUSLY. Still wish I could steal that one cat Ocelot has that Z-targets.

I'll play the actual game when my torrent is finished. In the meantime, I am going to go do less horribly this time! :D

lmfao and I died so easily wtf

BUT

OH JESUS I FOUND A SCARY GLITCH

Okay, so, Darpa Dude dies and I hear Meryl commence Operation: Johnny Beater. After that, she unlocks my door. Instead of leaving, I edge towards the exit and turn left, and go into first person view. Pressing down on the 1 button (for my pc game controller), I lean to the right to get a better look... and this is what I see:



;O;!!! Freaked the HECK outta me. Who the fuck is that?! My guess is that it's Johnny before Meryl pwns him, but Johnny's down there... and Meryl is already waiting to apprehend me.

IMO, the guy is standing like a Redead. I think it's a Redead dressed as a soldier. Which makes things so much worse hwuasdfnkhe.

xDD Maybe crawling hides the footprints 'cause of his belly. So instead you just leave skid marks like some horrifically large snake or somethin'. :D

Purugly has such an awful English name, but yes! They are cute, fat, huggable cats.

I think his face looks cute in a... super-deformed way, almost. xD;

I have almost no idea what these games are about or who more than half of those characters are, but, this was fun to read anyway.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

:D Buahaha, yes. Metal Gear Solid is... complicated ish. But basically SNEAK AROUND AND DO STUFF /o/

[respawning.livejournal.com]

/will eventually get round to playing these games

/eventually

The PC version's pretty cool, I recommend it. Unless you want prettier graphics and not as blocky people, then you can get The Twin Snakes. MGS1 is easier on my compy, though, and I love the blockiness. Kind of like how I adore the polygons in FF7.

[respawning.livejournal.com]

FFVII was the first console game I ever got and I remember being blown away by freakin' block people with no hands. Especially when you finally get out of Midgar and it's like HOLY SHIT THERE'S A WHOLE WORLD OUT HERE. It's amazing that... those graphics are almost painfully bad to me now. And the controls painfully clunky. And the English translation just painful full stop. That game was the shit, but it did not age well. o.o

But uh, yeah. /off-topic

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

XDDD Hell, I'm still blown away by FF6 for the Snes. I loooved that game, and I think it aged very well. X)

I never really liked FF7, BUT I like it as a game more than the fandom, I think. X)

[respawning.livejournal.com]

The fandom for FFVII is fucking batshit and best avoided. I love it as a game even if I don't think it's the best FF game ever. I still think it has one of the weakest endings of any FF game. Like, ever. It's one of the few I didn't cry at, and you know a movie or video game is good when they get so involved with them and they move you so much that you end up crying. They made the story and world a lot more epic with the Compilation, but at the same time they're just milking it to death. I'm kind of in two minds about it. =\

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, same. I like FF6 but I avoid the fandom as well. I just love playing it so much, but I'm also afraid of what would have happened if they milked it...

I wonder if they'd rerelease FF7 on a different system but like, with the original blocky look. That'd be fun. XD

[respawning.livejournal.com]

There have been rumours of a re-release of FFVII since the PS3 Tech Demo years ago. They've said nothing official about an actual remake, though, and I'm pretty sure all their teams are busy (or have been busy) with the various KH and FFXIII games, as well as others.

...Truth be told, they probably will re-release it, if only because they know everyone would buy it and it would make them a fuckload of money. Again.

I'm kind of hoping for a re-release if only to fix that utterly fucking terrible translation the original game got. It fucked up so much of the story. Although it'll be amusing watching the batshit fans go all "OMG HOW DARE YOU CHANGE IT?!" when actually... it was the first translation that was wrong.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

XDDDDD

I've like to see a better translation. 8)
