Unpopular Opinions On Gaming

Hayter was awful in Twin Snakes. Actually, everyone was. Anyway, I liked him far more in MGS1 than in that one.

But that's more like a parody than a real game.

Hayter's best performances were in MGS 1 and 3 IMO. Which makes sense, as those were the games that came the closest to actually having good dialogue.

The dialogue in 2 and 4 is fine. You're wrong.

Also, I think Hayter sounds a bit too, for lack of a better term, gruff in MGS1.

I will never listen to your opinion on anything ever again.

I can understand why you don't like the story. But is there anything that bad about the dialogue? Unless you mean that there is far too much of it, which is true.

Oh yeah, I keep on forgetting that this is Big Boss...

Very little of it sounds like stuff people would actually say in real life, regardless of the situation. Granted, this is a problem in every MGS title and something like 70% of video games (and probably about half of fiction in general), but while every entry in the series is overly wordy to an extent, I think the lines themselves were a lot better-written in MGS 1 and 3 than the others.

...this is Metal Gear Solid. How people sound in real life is a terrible measuring stick.

I'm not trying to shit on the games or anything. Their stories are amusing at worst. It's just that lines like

We're all born with an expiration date. No one lasts forever. Life is nothing but a grace period - for turning our genetic material into the next generation. The data of life is transferred from parent to child. That's how it works. But we have no heirs, no legacy. Cloned from our father, with the ability to reproduce conveniently engineered out. What is our legacy if we cannot pass the torch? Proof of our existence - a mark of some sort. When the torch is passed on from parent to child... it extends beyond DNA; information is imparted as well.

don't feel particularly natural, regardless of context.

Oscar worthy.

I liked MGS1's dialogue because it sounded like it should-- the script for an 80s action movie. From what I've seen of things like Peace Walker and 3, they look like their own thing which is fine. MGS2's dialogue is like Attack of the Killer Tomatoes written for anyone who even remotely enjoyed the first one. Thanks, Kojima.

When I walk into Guardians of the Galaxy 2, I sure hope I get treated to Space Mutiny 2 instead.

I was thinking more along the lines of the conversational dialogue. Those are the parts that mainly show off characters' voice acting, which is what this topic was really about. I can agree that things like the exposition isn't so good, but chitchat shared by characters such as Snake and Otacon is fine.

To be fair, that quote is similar to Naomi Hunter's monologue at the end of MGS1, which is equally bad. I can agree MGS1 has a better script overall, but it really falls apart during the ending.

As someone who loves Disney a lot, I kind of wish that I could get excited about Kingdom Hearts, but I can't at all. It's the worst of modern Square and Disney pandering in one dull package, yet I feel alone in my dislike of the franchise.

Can someone on here tell me what I'm missing?
