Baldur's Gate 2, OP

I've met dozen of people who claim that it is the best wRPG of all time and at the same time they never made it out of the first dungeon.

Don't get me wrong the first half of the game is fine D&D adventuring but it lacks a good main story and roleplaying options like choice and consequence. It also falls apart after the first half/when leaving Athkatla.
>>
>>318396950
MGS2, because every time I see people say they like MGS3 anons start to shit on them because they like MGS2.

There was a vote here a while back of what game was everyone's fav, and MGS3 won, which only lead to more people shitting on it that thread.

Then you clearly dislike stealth because those were the only parts were you actually had to take the surrounding environment into question because doors would open/ close and the scientists would casually walk by. Also, due to the scientist costume, you needed to take into consideration when to pull out your weapons and when to keep yourself disguised. All other areas were huge and allowed you to just crawl inside a bush or shadow and wait for a retarded soldier to pass by so you could either CQC or tranquilize him. Also, I'd like to add that the Ocelot ambush at the beginning of the game actually gave me hopes that there would be more awesome parts like it. There weren't.
>>
>>318400815
>retarded soldier
Not that anon, but I never played the MGS series because it was realistic.

Its silly and has cartoonish soldiers that you can fuck with, plus the over the top and silly plot.

If I wanted realistic gaymes, I would play something else.

MGS 3 is easily the best MG game, only V even comes close to being as good.

The camouflage play, the level design, the stealth, the survival mechanics, the incredible bosses (Superior to the ones in 1, yeah, I said it) and excellent and godtier story.

It will not be topped.
>>
>>318401138
Well, that's not the point of my post, really. I'm just saying even on European Extreme the game is so easy compared to the two previous titles there's barely any comparison when it comes to gameplay. I'm also not saying they're all stupid, the AI is quite good on the higher difficulties.

MGS3 had the most simple plot, and being the first game story wise makes it pretty easy to follow.

This makes it a prefect game for a first time MGS fan, and the main cast are all rememberable.

>No its not
I had a friend in high school that wasn't all that into games and we were able to talk about it just fine, and he clearly enjoyed the game.

My best friend also played MGS3 and he liked it, the characters, and plot.

>The plot has nothing to do with MGS
Its a good stand alone game then, and a good backstory for a character that wasn't in the series anymore at that point.

Without a doubt, MGS3 is one of the most fucking overrated games in existence. People will never stop sucking Big Boss' dick because of it even though it's a highly mediocre game.

It's right up there with some Final Fantasy or Legend of Zelda titles.

>>318402005
>perfect for a first time fan
Okay, know what else is the perfect game for a first time MGS fan? Metal Gear Solid.
>the main cast are all rememberable
The Pain and The Fear could have been replaced by the chopper going lower when they needed to kidnap Sokolov. The Fury and The End don't even play into the plot. Sokolov and Granin could have been the same character. Same for The Fury and Volgin.

Except it doesn't matter because that backstory is not touched upon on 1 and 2 at all.

Going with that logic MGS is easily the most overrated video game series. I see people fighting each other over which has the best plot but all of them lean heavily on the "so bad it's good" side.

Holy shit, what are you smoking? I played Metal Gear 1 and 2 before even playing Metal Gear Solid.
Metal Gear Solid 3 tells us Big Boss is a bad guy who used to be (from a very specific point of view) good. But that doesn't add anything to the plot that already had been worked out but Metal Gear 1 through Sons of Liberty because it's not even mentioned.
I'm surprised you've even managed to communicate something since apparently your only means for saying the game you like is great is by calling another one terrible. If you could only actually see past the blatant fanservice Kojima had to put in on 3 so people like you wouldn't keep begging for sequels (but you did anyway) you'd see that the plot in MGS2 does not make room for "messy pretensions" and is barely convoluted at all.

Just because you didn't understand or grasp everything in 2 doesn't mean it's convoluted or bad. It's amazing because of the amount of detail and underlying themes. Get taste you fucking pleb.
>>
>>318403083
>Metal Gear Solid 3 tells us Big Boss is a bad guy
No, that's MG 1 and more importantly, 2. Naked Snake starts as a pretty alright guy that seems to be doing his best to avoid world war and a nuclear apocalypse. It's at the end of the game, in a brilliant twist, that it becomes clear why he turned into Big Boss years later, in the events of MG1.

MGS 2's plot is not convoluted, as in, the actual story itself. It's the way it's poorly shown and edited (and perhaps translated?) that results in it being a dumb mess. Kojima basically throws 20 different ideas he read in a newspaper at the wall in 30 to 1 hour monologues and sees if anything sticks. MGS 1 and 3 were much more focused in what they were actually talking about.

Supposed to be what? MGS 3 again?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvKGqNWKhxk
MGS 3 was all that was ever needed to explain why Naked Snake turned into the villainous Big Boss in MG 1/2. Ignore Peace Walker. Ignore Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain. AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PRETEND MGS 4 NEVER HAPPENED.
His leader and hero, The Boss, taught him to be a soldier for the good of the nation, he learned how to fight and to serve from her, and then she seemingly betrays him and joins the Russians. Snake, wounded and looking for revenge, goes through hell and manages to kill her.
And that's when he learns the truth. The Boss served as the ultimate pawn to save the USA from it's own mistakes. She had to betray her comrades, had to harm her apprentice, had to get killed by his hand and had to sacrifice her honor and become despised by the entire world (although she ended up letting Snake in on the truth, not wanting to be despised by him)
The greatest soldier that ever lived, the woman he loved, instead of being celebrated as the hero she was, ends up being vilified as the greatest threat to the world.
Not only does Snake hate the government for basically assassinating her and her honor, but he realized that he had no guarantees he or any soldier he fought alongside with wouldn't end in the same position.
As he salutes her grave and a tear falls from his eye, the heroic sad music takes a turn into a menacing tune, his face twitches with anger and it cuts to black.
You can very easily deduce what happened from here and link this shit yourself. Ignore the retcons that turned him into a person that ran away, a fighter against Zero, all that retarded bullshit.
He kept working for the government with his anger growing, serving as Foxhound's leader until he finally found the chance to create an Outer Heaven for soldiers like him, who would never become tools of the government and suffer The Boss's fate.

Halo 3's campaign is the worst one too

>>318403545
>No, that's MG1 and 2
Incorrect. The ending for MGS3 clearly shows why he turned bad, and that's what I meant.
>brilliant twist
Killing the Boss is now a twist?
>20 different ideas
It only has one idea, which is "think for yourself". It's trying to point out that following references is pointless because the world in its current state has inherently contradicting values. That's shown as soon as Raiden takes off the mask and you realize Snake is not coming back, and it can only really sink into your mind by the ending, when you realize you're kind of an asshole for killing Solidus. I sincerely suggest you read more into it. MGS2 is even more focused on its themes than 1 and 3. But hey, I think 3 is a great game too, just not on par with 2 in my opinion.

Yes, and it does it well.

>Killing the Boss is now a twist?
No, you dumbass, the fact that The Boss was on your side and had to be killed by you as part of her mission is the fucking twist.

How can you seriously expect me to take your criticisms of MGS 3's plot seriously when you obviously don't even remember it?

>It only has one idea, which is "think for yourself". It's trying to point out that following references is pointless because the world in its current state has inherently contradicting values.
Yeah, the thing is that the game was very poor in executing that idea.

Her ideology was to save America and to stop a World War giving them the Philosopher's Legacy after getting herself killed by her apprentice. That's a really dumb idea if you ask me.

You can't ignore it's sequels that show the same kind hearted and somewhat goofy Jack, not a warmonger.. If anything he's only fighting what is perceived as a greater evil, Cipher.
>>
>>318406303
>You can't ignore it's sequels that show
I can actually. The retarded shit about cipher and Zero and Millitaire Sans Frontiers can all be safely ignored, because it was retconned later in.

MGS 3 explained the story of Big Boss pretty well, the rest was just made because fans kept asking for more games so Kojima had to keep making new useless shit up.
>>
>>318406303
Even if want to take the later games into account, the two ending speeches of Peace Walker (which were already unnecessary by themselves) have Big Boss straight up saying "I am evil now, I am going to start being a warmongerer because I feel like it"

Again, even that was unnecessary, MGS 3 drove the point home, it hit it right in the nail.

Saying that there's still no reason given for Big Boss to be evil is the most retarded shit in the world. Apply yourself.
