I feel like Bill Murray.

World of difference here. Metal Gear on the NES was always an awful game.

DS is generic slash n hack stuff imo, or it it only yours that matters? :pac:

Actually it really isn't generic hack n slash. Have you beaten the first boss yet and opened up all the online options from the other stages? Also if you aren't playing the game online you're also missing out on most of what the game offers. It's something totally new in terms of how it uses online features, there's nothing else like it. Even if you want to say it's generic hack n slash in terms of combat and level design nothing has done it better than Demon's Souls.

If you are having trouble with the difficulty then stick it out and don't be ashamed to use the demon's souls faq because you really are missing out on something special. If you aren't playing online then you're totally missing out on what makes it special so I could see where you get that point of view.

Lol, nah your grand thanks

Multiplayer online? Not my cup of tea either dude, I knda grew outta that :P Single player story based stuff appeals to me more tbh, & after a few mins of killing skeletons I found myself moving on. That being said, I havn't given the game a proper chance.

Ah you see that's the beauty of Demon's Souls. I'm not a big fan of multiplayer either but the thing about Demon's Souls is that the online features actually enhance the single player game. Some people have even labelled the game a massively singleplayer online RPG. There's also very little interaction with other players so no whining over the microphone.

Online you will see the ghosts of other players playing the game and they can leave messages to help you, and also hinder you. You can rate messages and if yours gets rated you get your health back so it's good to leave helpful messages. Also you can bring 2 other people to help you through the levels by summoning them and you can also offer yourself up to be summoned. Helping a player beat the level brings you back to body form giving you extra health and also allowing you to summon other players. However in body form you can be invaded by a player that will try to kill you and can also invade other peoples levels to try and steal their experience. And one of the most innovative things is in one of the levels you canbe summoned to be the boss of someones game and in the same way when you face this boss you will be facing another player. The online modes really are totally essential to full enjoyment of the game.

There's also more than just zombies to kill in the game! They're only cannon fodder in the very early parts of stage 1.

My real point is, is Metal Gear crap because you think so? Or would some people like it?

Usually I'm ranting about overrated games. Donkey Kong Country, not the best platformer in the world but a decent one.

NES Metal Gear on the other hand is absolute dirt, it really is a dreadful game and a disgraceful port. It's nigh on unplayable with tonnes of stuff cut from the original and the new stuff like the mazes (especially the one the game begins with) being awful to play through. Colision detection is way too sensitive so when you get caught you will almost certainly die and you willget caught because of the unfair enemy placement.

Metal Gear didn't become the successful franchise it is off the strenght of the NES games, it did so off the vastly superior MSX games. Now these games really are gems and still very playable. Sure MGS is basically a remake of the second metal gear game on the MSX. Play metal gear through an MSX emulator or from the MGS3 subsistance bonus disk, not the terrible NES port. Hideo Kojima has personally come out about how much he hates the NES Metal Gear games.

Metal Gear on the NES does have one redeeming feature:
