Metal Gear Acid

.Xion The Unborn · 02-22-2005

Now normally you hear the name Metal Gear and instantly think of sneaking around and shooting the f**k out of everybody, but Metal Gear Acid for the PSP is a puts a new twist on the tactical espionage action. The thing that makes this game different is that it has intergrated a Turn Based Battle System which actually works pretty well from what I've seen. The basic storyline, from what I gathered is puppets (yes, puppets) have hijacked a plane that contains a chemical of some sort, and your mission is to retrieve. The graphics are amazing, not what you'd expect from a handheld, infact you might think you're walking round with a PS2 in your hands. That's all the info I've got for now, I'll try and get some screenshots

why do the japanese have to screw with something that is already good by adding that crap. DAMM U JAPAN!!!!!!!

Actually it doesn't look that bad, honest, you should check out the official website

i saw. i saw the pics and a vid. the graphics are very nice, but i don't like something that has cards in it!!! japan wants every game to have some kind of card thing in it.

I know, Phantasy Star Online was ruined by card play

I like the way Konami made this Metal Gear Solid a card based game. Kinda unique in my opinion. In fact I also pre-ordered Metal Gear Acid along with the PSP.

Any idea why you are blaming Japan? It's Konami you want to blame not Japan. Personally i think Metal Gear Acid looks Shite with a capital S.

personally it looks like a load of random ideas thrown together to attempt to make a game in a short time. one way they can improve things in this is to not have so many damn cut-scenes.

.Jammy · 02-24-2005

Lol imagine if the cutscenes were still stupidly long. The PSP has a 2-4 hour battery life, if the cutscenes were still long, you would have to have loads of batteries just to play the damn game. lol

Z Warrior · 02-24-2005

the psp still only has 2-4 battery life? i am definetly not getting it. the game does look good, but that's it. just looks

.Jammy · 02-24-2005

Yep, the battery life is still pathetic. They haven't fixed anything since the Jap version. I haven't read about them changing it at all.

Im interested to see how metal gear acid plays. Anything metal gear tends to be great.

I read about Acid at the Snake Soup site, and it looks like Konami has created a monster. Incorporating a card game (which are always not fast-paced, unless you're playing that retarded "Speed" game) to a game that is all about action is downright stupid, but I'm not going to go blaming Japanese people for it ..

.. but it still sucks ..

.. and I'm not buying it ..

.. and it's not just about puppets taking over a boat; there's parts outside of the tanker, 'k.
