Honestly, SOTN isnt the same to me without the more cheesy voice acting. I dont know, my mind already has the original copied to a T to the point that hearing the newer stuff they made feels so god damn wrong.

I don't mind the voice acting, it's cheesiness fits the tone of Castlevania, I just hate the naming of some of the bosses and enemies, it was Blaustein trying to be too clever.

It's been a meme for decades. Even if he didn't notice, Roy Campbell or someone else would.

If you think about it, a pair of glasses and a comb-back is all it took to impersonate Miller. That's Lois Lane-levels of retarded. (A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who stares at Superman's face for 40 hours a week.) Snake hardly recognizes BB without the simple props.

How about voice? Didnt anyone notice how Miller changed voices suddenly? Sure, Liquid was a good impersonator (even tho it would make more sense for Decoy Octopus to be in said disguise role) but Roy would notice something is off with Miller first before Naomi

Phantom Pain at least gives us access to the explanation that Li'l Liquid had a good amount of time and incentive to work on an imitation of Miller behind his back. "Blah blah blah kids aren't allowed to fight people because it's bad for business, but on the other hand OH WAIT." Years later, with his adult pitch, it'd kill with FOXHOUND alums.

Other than that, I guess we have to suspend our disbelief with the possibility of CODEC being tinny and the picture being tiny. Snake can probably tell his fifty huskies apart, but he is apparently not the operative to send out if you're looking for someone specific and they don't have a huge facial scar. Or a hat.

Was the codec not just nanomashines who work as a radio? No one actualy see eachother, but would explain why Liquid would say "did you like my sunglasses?" After fulling them off.

Codec is a lot like the force. It works however the fuck it needs to work. For example, "it stimulates the small bones of your ear, nobody but you will hear it." meanwhile IIRC Otacon can hear Mantis theme playing when you talk to Meryl after rescuing him. And then in MGS2 it's tied to nanomachines and apparently relays thoughts in nanoseconds or something?
 
I bit the bullet and got Survive since it was only 4 bucks on Microsoft's Chinese New Year's sale. It wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. Then again, I'd have been disappointed if I paid full price for it. It has an odd sort of Gmod feel to it, thanks to all the reused assets and cost-cutting. Wasn't the worst game ever, but it made me wanna replay V again.

How much content does it actually have? I don't know anyone who owns it.

I got shit on so much for saying Survive was perfectly serviceable as a 20 dollar game by Kojima fags when it was released

I mean, maybe the online service shit was awful. I didn't play it past the campaign. There was nothing about Survive that was inherently shittier than MGS V. I'd even argue it utilized the world space far better than MGS V did. (not that it was mindblowing turning half of the world into silent hill, just it was less boring)

It just would have been a way better game if it ditched the dumbass Zombies and dimensional stuff and was a straight up base defense expansion for MGS V. Like the entire time i was playing it I was like "I'd rather be building these defenses against rebels, mercenaries and tanks than zombies and monsters."

But yeah, no idea how bullshit the online shit got. I think it had more content than the campaign (which is roughly like 4-8 hours, it's been 5 years so I don't exactly remember but it's not very long) because I remember seeing videos of dudes pulling out Rex's and shit to fight Zombies.

It has a fairly robust single player campaign. Decently long and you get lots of stuff to fuck around with. And a story that would probably be cooler if it wasn't in a Metal Gear title. It's a weird, sci-fi horror story that homages that movie The Final Countdown of all things.

Same. The base defense stuff and fortifying your facility is pretty cool. I'd just rather it be stuff that's ore fitting for Metal Gear than spiky zombies. Something where you fought off, like, a variety of different MG enemies would be cool.
 
I never knew Metal Gear Survive had a campaign. It is an actual story and shit?

Not too long ago I "played" through Metal Gear Solid: Digital Graphic Novel (PSP). I was too lazy to play through the actual game but wanted a dose of MG. It's surprisingly different than the game. I mean, it's mainly the same but there's different emphasis on certain things and a few different scenes. The Mantis fight was notably different and is the only time "Miller" actually shows up (it's just an illusion).

Also, they expanded a bit on the Otacon/Wolf "romance" (in other words, it was sort of an actual romance now).

I think it's about time for the Metal Gear series to get remakes.

Yeah, there's a narrative. It's stupid as hell but no more stupid than something Kojima would come up with IMO.

Basically you're an MSF survivor who witnesses the destroyed mother base get sucked up into a wormhole that appears after Big Boss and Miller escape. You get picked up by a government agency that informs you you're infected by a lifeform from the wormhole and you get sent into the other dimension to find a cure. You end up teaming up with other people who got sucked up into a wormhole to survive and find a way back, and find out that you're actually in a post apocalyptic future where nano machines destroyed the world and are now trying to time travel to the past to destroy it again or something.

You end up creating your own wormhole back but you can only send one person through and send an African child you found to warn the world, and then you end up killing the nanomachines and saving the world, but you're trapped in the alternate apocalyptic future. You find out the kid you sent back was your handler from the government agency and he says he's going to try and find a way to get you home or something and the meta game is you "Surviving" while he does that.

There are some cutscenes, but most of the dialogue is told in the same way as codec sequences just...without the pretext of it being through a radio or anything. (it's just dialogue with characters faces shown on screen)
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Survive is so far the last all new game from Konami, correct?
