You go from forest to top of mountains. What do you think?
Can you imagine if you moved from forest to mountain top like you go from Poison area to lava pit in DS2? You homosexuals wouldnt stfu
Wrong. Did you even play the game? Games back then didnt need long animations to load new areas zoomie, thry usrd loading screens.
MGS3 transition is hidden behind the area title youre moving to.
no, that doesnt make sense. See, in Dark Souls 1, time and space is convoluted. So it is perfectly reasonable to think that as you go down the giant hollow tree that you enter into a different universe or dimension.
To be memorable, way more interesting than a cutscene transition or an elevator. Considering how often its remembered and how people associate every longer than average ladder in a game with it after they play MGS 3 you cant argue with the results.
>people associate every longer than average ladder in a game with it after they play MGS 3 >that ladder in elden ring at the bottom of the first dungeon and all the marks from player
To "seamlessly" transition the game from a jungle to a mountainous area, and also to throw in the theme song of the game while climbing the mile long ladder.
Long most of the slop Kojima puts out: it's 'meta!!!!'
Realistically it was just there because 'haha you must suffer to understand what Snake is going through' It's a struggle, anon. See, at this time period, something something fanboy whacky bees on Ocelot strategy
Does that help you understand, sir? Are you now a Kojima fan?
kek, was looking for exactly this. surprised to see it in this thread and the only reason I'm commenting. I noticed it as soon as I played the tomb raider games last year, surprised anyone else even did.
Naw. I used to make Tomb Raider threads literally ALL the time back before the remaster hype, like i was almost the sole one making and carrying them. I made dozens of essays about the game. But, I'm no longer interested in the topic of it. My style of engagement is too much effort + I've exhausted most of the topics that could go down in those threads. I imagine there's still a LAU circlejerk especially, so if that still exists. Then I'm definitely not coming back.

i can assure you that there is no LAU circlejerk and that your effortposting would be greatly appreciated by just about everybody in the threads because that's mainly what we do in there anyway
we usually just talk about the classics and some angel of darkness (which is mostly just me talking to myself, lol)
i would love to read some of your essays in the threads
3 reasons:
It marks the half way point of your journey.
It takes place directly after the fight with The End which is a grueling test of your survival skills and endurance, and the climb acts as a tension reliever after a tiring battle.
It's a reminder of why you're on this mission. When you hear the song in the intro, the lyrics don't have any meaning. But by this point in the game, it's clear that it's from the perspective of The Boss and gives the song a new meaning. You're here to kill her and there's no turning back.
>tension reliever
I found this part the tensest moment of the game - I was sure some surprise boss was going to appear and knock me off the ladder or something the whole way up.
I think I might be projecting my fear of heights but to me it was sort of a test of determination and a point of no return, like cutting open your palm and making a blood pact
lol
Its a hidden loading screen.
You notice how the textures of the game go from a jungle to a rocky mountain and interior...
its because of the blue ray drive it did not have a disc 2 and this is what you got for it.
Seems all MGS games except V have shit memory management >you now remember MGS4 installing acts.
I havent played MGS3 in years but from what I remember this was after one of the boss fights, so to me it always seemed like a nice way to sit back and relax after an intense battle.
I know its something do with loading because if you die while climbing the ladder or go to the top and hang over the rail and drop to your death, it takes a long time to reload you at the bottom.
To test the player's will and determination to continue dispute no end in sight.
The Ladder was the lamest boss fight. I only lost once to him.
render the next zone

DS1 did the same shit

The trees hold up the world above, brainlet.
that's not how trees work you moron

A prototype for Strand (tm) type gameplay
A quiet moment of reflection, something anyone below 25 is incapable of doing.
Woah, we got ourselves a real adult man here. Millennials just can't wait to be boomers.

Imagine being this delusional to justify stupid decisions by a fricking westaboo who cant write for shit
Yet it's remembered fondly 20 years later.

Real motherfrickers learned how to dive off the top and not die
kojima is a hack

do ladders this long even exist?
Could a person climb a ladder for over two minutes without fatigue causing them to fall?
nope
yes. Climbing ladders isnt that intense. If you can do squats, you can climb ladders
?si=rWPDRoYht71U1aDz
I thought the ladder scene in MGS5 was like 6 minutes, but even then, yeah youre right.
Isn't this the job where they do this once a year and get paid 600k?
Clearly you dont know what a tower climber does
They have climbing gear. Who would build a ladder that long without safety features or platforms along the way?
Those have landings pretty frequently, they don't have to climb hundreds of feet all in one go.

TECHNICALLY, it was to make up for the PSP's lame hardware
Thematically it's to give Snake a breather between fights
it's just a neat little scenario, a cheap thrill.
>a cheap thrill
but WHAT a thrill
To look up 2Bs skirt but they forgot to put her in the game.

It's a throw back to that long elevator ride downwards in the first Metal Gear.
it's an intermission that lets you reflect on the journey so far while the main theme softly plays as you ascend.
It's a tribute to Fred Dibnah, who died 11 days before the games release.
One of the most memorable moments in gaming history, unironically.
musical interlude, not for honor, but for YOOOOOOoouuu!

Point of what, a thrill?
To make some sense for a biome change. Shut up nerd.

I would sometimes roll off the ledge once I made it to the top for shits and giggles

To be a scene memorable enough to still be the topic of discussion 20 years later.
