Iirc similar thing with silent hill 2. He played cause the silent hill transmission announcement and 2 remake was unveiled. Pretty sure if rumors of remakes or new games coming and he hasn’t played before he tries jumping in before the announcement truly made so he knows what expect of remakes and prolly helps him get ahead whatever TH-cam recommendations things works with for his views so honestly it’s prolly working out well for him and expanding his game knowledge and getting into fandoms. Just got a little more video thought this was a first time played video of his, either way great timing and shows he stays on top things.
MGS2 created a healthy fear of internet information in me at a pretty young age that has always stuck with me. It's a one-of-a-kind game. Very excited for the MGS3 remake!
Something still wild to me is how well Snake Eater 3D works on the 3DS, particularly if you have a New 3DS. My first playthough of 3d was the first time I ever managed a no alert playthrough of the game, despite having only ever played the game on PS2 previously. And things like menu navigation and camo changing were much more streamlined with the touch screen. I still think HD collection is a better way to play the game, but I can definitely say 3D is way more solid than I ever expected.
The controls of 3d are based around peace Walker. You can crouch walk and there is 3rd person mode for shooting. The major negative is the framerate but I personally found it to be the best controlling version by far
@@dsimpson530 Honestly I think it's impressive the game runs as well at it does on 3DS while still looking pretty decent. Of course I did also play it on a New 3DS so that helps.
The 3DS version is inferior to MGS 3 on PS Vita not only does it have blurry graphics on 3DS but the frame rate is constantly going to 15 to 10 FPS per a second while the Vita version has solid graphics and locked at 30 FPS
MGS3 is favourite in the series i'd put it in my all time top 10. The jungle setting was perfect for stealth, The survival mechanics made it way more immersive. The Boss and the Cobra unit make for some of the coolest boss fights ever, I'm stoked to play it again.
This game is in my top 10 of all time. It's SO good, I don't trust Konami to not fuck up the remake, but they'll never takeaway from how near-perfect the original is.
MGS3 being the start of the timeline makes sense to me being a DMC fan...DMC3 did the same thing and it was awesome! Just got done watching the Playstation showcase for the remake, so perfect timing for the upload there, Matty!
Yup. I also got into both DMC and MGS around the same time, by playing the third games. Which is probably exactly what they were expecting comercially by releasing a prequel, so , it works!
When I first saw the reveal trailer for the new remake my immediate thought was okay this is cool but why are doing a snake eater remake first? I forgot this is technically the first timeline wise of the solid series so I guess it makes since to do this one rather than metal gear solid 1 and 2
Every time I see a Retro Rebound video I wonder if it's an old one that I missed but no... you just pump out content like a machine and it's nuts man. Great stuff.
Oh, the memory of being called to dinner with my family while I was wailing after finishing this game when I was 14 It was the first, and certainly not he last, time I cried with a game
Really well thought out retrospect. I would like to add that in 2004, video games still had clunky controls (GTA:SA, Spinter Cell, Pandora Tomorrow, Battlefront 1), which some younger gamers may not understand how we managed to play these archaic games. MGS3 is still my top favorite game that I play to this day.
MIND BLOWN AT THE END OF MGS2. ESPECIALLY HAVING REPLAYED IT YESTERYEAR. HAVING GROWN UP AND UNDERSTANDING MORE THINGS ABOUT SOCIETY, TECHNOLOGY, POLITICS, THE INTERNET. DEFINITELY AHEAD OF ITS TIME AND IT EERILY PREDICTS INTERNET CULTURE BACK IN 2001. WAY BEFORE SOCIAL MEDIA
I had the same attitude towards death stranding as you have until a week ago when i finished director's cut. It's incredible, pacing can wonk a tiny bit at one point, but it's absolutely worth it
It's a great game but personally I like MGS 1 and 2 even more. I heard some creators say that 3 is universally seen as the best MGS and I don't really agree with that.
It's not. I've come to learn it's a very vocal minority. The problem is these games are so spaced out there's a good chance people played mgs3 first and the other ones later and that has a huge impact on opinions. Also people can't tell the difference between "my personal favorite" and "the actual best one" For me mgs2 is my favorite But if we're being honest MGS1 is the best game in the series.
I love MGS1 the most, but MGS 1-4 for me are fantastic. Don't really have much issues with MGS3 controls, you need a little bit of time to adapt, but I don't really find them clunky, just different.
I hope they keep the classic codec calls the same. In MGSV I largely ignored/ was too distracted by playing the game to care what what being said in any call and thus the game lost a lot of it's charm that the older titles had. Hard to get invested into the lore when you accidentally trigger an alert phase and are fighting back, ya know? Sometimes modern conveniences aren't always needed. We THINK we want them, but only because we've been conditioned into thinking new = better.
The "meat" of the codec calls in previous games was moved to the cassette tapes of MGSV. That's where all the deeper story details lie, inside that big collection of tapes. I recently started playing Ground Zeroes again after hearing about the MGS3 remake, and plan on getting back into MGSV:TPP afterward. I've been watching some videos about those games too, and there are some great essays on the TH-cam channel "FuturaSound" or something along those lines regarding MGSV's story. Highly recommend, but long story short, Kojima was telling that story in a very specific way with how he created the game. They did one recently called "MGSV Is Not Unfinished," very eye-opening stuff.
The controls in MGS3 are janky-but if you truly master them and play this game on European Extreme there is no satisfaction like it. The fact that the game is difficult to control is part of the design in my opinion. If Snake were agile and ability to just pop off shots no problem, you wouldn’t feel outmatched and like every decision counts
I personally enjoy Death Stranding, but you definitely need the right mentality when you're going into it. The story is strange and very interesting! The ending blew my mind!
I did too! That game was great! I think a lot of the issue comes with people expecting another mgs, or not letting the game establish its own expectations.
I love Death Stranding, but you’re right about going in with the right mentality. It’s a very unique game. It’s almost like a survival game, where you plan your route and check your equipment before every trip. Nothing else gives me quite the same feeling.
Besides the og Resident Evil 4, this is the game I've played and beaten the most out every game ive ever owned. There were so many secrets and unlockables. Not to mention the online mode the ape escape mode. Also like you said the control scheme was a little clunky almost by design since the ps2 had the pressure sensitive button feature that the mgs games liked to use.
I'm also late to the mgs party. But I am playing through the HD 360 version on Xenia. I am super shocked by how well it holds up. The controls are quite crazy and the game is very hard. I love it. I'm still figuring it out. But I am loving it.
I played MGS3 (my first MGS experience) back in 2006 when i was 8 years old and I was hooked from the start. Then we got a PS3 with MGS4 and i played that forever and finally got to play MGS and MGS2. Played MGSV GZ & TPP when they released. Been obsessed with the lore, stories and gameplay ever since MGS3 and im so excited that it’s getting a remake

*The OG MGS3 had a fixed camera, so you HAD to constantly scan in first person for enemies. That + no Soliton radar makes this game REALLY frustrating. Story is awesome, but the camera and controls hold it back*
Few games have made me cry , 3 of these were MGS games ! The memories I have of 14 year old me crying like a baby at the end of MGS3 circa 2005-6 after finishing the game past midnight in my bedroom in the pale flickering light of my CRT TV. These are memories that will stay with me for my entire life , I hope the remake does it justice for a whole new generation of people to experience that , If it is anywhere near as well executed as Final Fantasy VII Remake I will probably experience the emotion all over again.
I played the original version of mgs3 had a fixed overhead camera. You had to go into first person constantly to scan for people in the area. The subsistence version had the upgraded third person camera made the game alot better albeit easier
Bruh what timing! I started playing MGS1 the first of this month and just finished MGS5 last night, now they announce 3 remake and Matty puts this out!
my first time playing this was on the 3ds in the halfway house. my roommate’s thought i was watching a movie every night😂 it was a great experience after wanting to play it for years.
One of my absolute all time favorites. I litterally modeled my own teenage personality after Naked Snake (I know I coulda done better) but my god was this game impactful. Idk how a modern remake will go. if they opt to smooth out the controls the game will be far too easy but I don't want them to change the layout too much to add difficulty. I think it should be a mix of borth, get rid of the annoying tropes like no crouch walking and the aiming system but do not make snake as fast and versatile as the MGS5 version, that way it remains a slow-paced stealth game just but a bit more fun to play
I'm torn on this myself. It seems from the released screenshots that the maps will remain largely the same. So if they update the controls to more of a MGSV scheme, I could see the game becoming way too easy. But then again, I'd absolutely love to play through the world of MGS3 with intuitive controls. So hopefully they can alter the enemy AI so enemies are better matched to Snake's (potentially) augmented abilities. It's going to be a balancing act for sure, and I'm not extremely confident in Konami's ability to do it without Kojima.
@@ioncewasmikey Kojima is a great creator but in this case the creation is there. The amazing story, setup, themes etc... as far as technical game design goes I should hope that Konami can hire some top tier experts. But MGS3 definitely deserves a remake. It's a masterpiece that new generation won't get to experience otherwise
@Curious Consultant Oh I would never argue that it doesn't need a remake, that's for sure. And you're right, the bones are already there, Kojima put them in place back on the PS2. But I feel like the super realistic graphics combined with the more or less archaic controls of the original could be quite a jarring experience. So if they start altering the gameplay while keeping maps, etc largely the same, the whole magic of the game could fall apart. Hopefully the company Konami has partnered with for this can manage to find that balance. I have a feeling the game play itself will be largely augmented for these reasons. And after all, they're still planning on porting a remaster of the original to current Gen with the "Master Collection Volume 1," so what would be the point in releasing the exact same game maybe a year or 2 apart, just one has better graphics? I think that's the main thing that makes me believe they'll be fiddling with some things for Delta.
Great video as always Matty. Have to say though the cut scenes in MGS are a part of what make the games great. I love the the thought and attention to detail which go into those cut scenes, especially in MGS4
MGS2 I much prefer for its vibe and loved Kojima basically middle fingering the worlds sequel expectations. MGS3 though has the better story by a long shot
It's definitely doesn't have a better story. The only part I think was great was the boss and snakes relationship. The rest of the game really seemed kind of pointless and hammy 😂 They was literally introducing characters just to die, their deaths had no effect on snake or the plot that includes volgin. Only the boss' death mattered
@@colinnixon7739 Well to be fair the boss/snake dynamic is strong enough to make the story more compelling than MGS2 alone. I think both are equally pointless. I enjoyed the pointlessness of 2 better but many disagree.
@Matthew Sommerville bro, the boss and snake were together for about 10 percent of the total game.... that's not enough for anything to be more compelling. Raiden vs all the other characters in mgs2 was intense, had purpose and left a lasting impact on him and the in game world. I'm sorry but outside a few convos with the boss and maybe ocelot the rest of the game is meaningless/boring
@@colinnixon7739 I agree about MGS2, its scope is huge and I personally like it more. But from a story stand point I still think the entire story (even if short) between boss and snake is more compelling from a micro / character building perspective. They really are completely different worlds, with MGS2 big picture and MGS3 deep and personal. Just because its short doesn’t mean it didn’t have a huge splash, and even so, the entire story holds up that dynamic without them ever even being together which is why the finale is so good.
For the remake they said there going to be using the OG characters . It is unsure if there going to re dub or there going to port the old line to the new game
I remember being like 12 or 13 and sleeping over at my nan's after I rented this game, completed it in 2 days and sat up in tears watching the final cutscenes
MGS 3 is the Rambo game we deserved. one of the best games ever. 2 was ahead of its time with the AI stuff, and 3 is my fav of the series. even today it’s very much playable and enjoyable - still a lot better than many games nowadays. only thing that bothers me is the controls, and maybe that some areas are really narrow due to technical limitations.
I remember in the online portion we would make the characters "dance" while aiming/shooting at other opponents so that our character's head was a moving target while in one place. This required holding R1 + L2 to aim while tapping R2 and L2 to shift to the sides while also tapping X to stand/crouch, and finally Square to fire. It was a steep learning curb but once master it was highly effective
We got 3 discs for Subsistence over here in the UK. 3rd disc was called Exisistence and was MGS3 as a movie. All the cutscenes but without the gameplay.
Great video Matty! It’s always fun to hear people talk about one of my favorite series. I jumped onto Metal Gear relatively late, finishing the first three MGS games just in time to play MGS4 at launch, and it quickly became one of my favorite series ever. I go back and forth whether MGS1 is my favorite or MGS3, but MGS2 and MGS4 are also way up at the top too. I’m less fond of MGSV and the other games, but it’s still part of this series I love. For those of you who are curious about the timeline, here it is: - Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater - Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (the canonicity is questionable as Kojima did not work on it, but there are a few references to it here and there in the games) - Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker - Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes - Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain - Metal Gear (this is the original game that started the whole series back in 1987) - Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake - Metal Gear Solid (there is also a GameCube exclusive remake for this one called The Twin Snakes) - Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty - Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots - Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Non-canon games include but are not limited to: - Metal Gear Solid: Ghost Babel - Metal Gear Ac!d - Metal Gear Ac!d 2 - Snake’s Revenge
MGSV seems to be one of the most polarizing games of all time. I’ve seen and heard so many different opinions on it. Some seem to think it’s a 10/10 masterpiece but I’ve also heard others say it’s trash, I’ve never played it myself but I just find it interesting that it’s such a divisive game among the fandom of metal gear
@@jeremyroberts8822 Yeah... it's definitely a unique entry in the series lol. I generally like the story and the twist ending, but it was also way too wide open compared to literally any other game in the series, the vast majority of which are actually really linear. And the story is mostly only told through audio tapes that IIRC you can only listen to in the menu, which is actually something that Peace Walker did before it, but it seemed much less egregious to me. Act 2 of the game mostly consists of replaying chapters from Act 1 but with harder and IMO less fun constraints, and generally feels like a whole bunch of filler. Plus, best fans can tell, there was a whole third Act that seems to have been cut, both due to the Kojima/Konami fiasco and to also avoid drawing out the already lengthy dev time any further. Definitely a contentious game in a series many fans would say is full of contentious entries lol
I think MGS 2 is one of the greatest games of all time.. I think stylistically, aesthetically alone it's stands out more than MGS 3.. from playing as Snake to Raiden... the Brooklyn bridge intro on the ship... to then switching characters... I think the boss fights, the story, just about everything is 10x more iconic, and memorable. I loved MGS 3... but it was forgettable in comparison to MGS2. I can't wait for them to remake that.. Hopefully MGS 3 remake is a great start.
I get tired of people saying Death Stranding is a “UPS simulator” it is definitely a weird game but it has so many Unique and fun mechanics. The acid rain by itself makes they game very interesting
Well I mean they say it cus that’s what a lot of the game is. It’s you traveling cross country delivering packages for a good majority of it with combat and stealth encounters and even some boss fights mixed in as well.
I’ll be honest and admit I don’t hate MGS3 but I think MGS2 and Twin Snakes are far better games. Twin Snakes gets a lot of hate but it was a really fun experience and Sons of liberty needs no introduction, the game is peak MGS to the fullest.
Oh hell no, he just called Naked Snake "Solid Snake". On a serious note, I can't wait to play Snake Eater on PS5, I agree that the controls even on the collection were very clunky, I prefer MGS4 controls but now I can't wait to play Snake Eater with hopefully mgsv tpp style controls. I loved mgs3 for how innovative it was especially for The End alternative endings and the immersive sniper battle, how enemy soldiers morale was affected by ration storage sites being destroyed.... I could go on but it's spoiler territory... One thing that looks interesting from the trailer is how they show an anaconda and a croc fighting, so I'm wondering if in the swamps we might be occasionally ambushed by anacondas or other reptiles if we don't spot them earlier enough. I haven't been this excited for a game for a long time.
Yes but I disagree with you on the gameplay. I feel that the first three games are perfection embodied as far as story and controls go. The only minor thing is controlling the second analog stick while shooting but it's so minor it may as well not be an issue. I DO agree with you on MGS2 being your favorite - absolutely mindblowing and also my favorite game. It was my favorite game of all time for a long time but I haven't played it in a while.

Few games have made me cry , 3 of these were MGS games !
The memories I have of 14 year old me crying like a baby at the end of MGS3 circa 2005-6 after finishing the game past midnight in my bedroom in the pale flickering light of my CRT TV.
These are memories that will stay with me for my entire life , I hope the remake does it justice for a whole new generation of people to experience that , If it is anywhere near as well executed as Final Fantasy VII Remake I will probably experience the emotion all over again.
yea the Outro was a shocking plot twist and just too sad.
Only two PS2 games made me shed a Tear - MGS 3 and FF10 - both sad endings
I played the original version of mgs3 had a fixed overhead camera. You had to go into first person constantly to scan for people in the area. The subsistence version had the upgraded third person camera made the game alot better albeit easier
Matty is an absolute genius. Knowing the rumors were true 👏🏻👏🏻 legend
You picked a helluva day to upload this
what is the background snake eater theme used in this video?
Damn Matty had this locked and loaded!
Yes.
Yes it is THAT good.
My fav is still MGS2 but yeah. 3 is amazing.
Matty knew something we didn't 👀
Bruh what timing! I started playing MGS1 the first of this month and just finished MGS5 last night, now they announce 3 remake and Matty puts this out!
Sir... you absolutely can crouch that's what the boxes are for
I played this for the first time last year and fell in love. I didnt have the control issue honestly. I got it pretty quick
Timing couldn't be any better great video
You can move your PS2/3 clock a week forward during the fight with The End, and a cutscene will play of him dying of old age.
my first time playing this was on the 3ds in the halfway house. my roommate’s thought i was watching a movie every night😂 it was a great experience after wanting to play it for years.
It’s Pretty Good and it’s my Favorite VideoGame of All Time
One of my absolute all time favorites. I litterally modeled my own teenage personality after Naked Snake (I know I coulda done better) but my god was this game impactful.
Idk how a modern remake will go. if they opt to smooth out the controls the game will be far too easy but I don't want them to change the layout too much to add difficulty. I think it should be a mix of borth, get rid of the annoying tropes like no crouch walking and the aiming system but do not make snake as fast and versatile as the MGS5 version, that way it remains a slow-paced stealth game just but a bit more fun to play
I'm torn on this myself. It seems from the released screenshots that the maps will remain largely the same. So if they update the controls to more of a MGSV scheme, I could see the game becoming way too easy. But then again, I'd absolutely love to play through the world of MGS3 with intuitive controls. So hopefully they can alter the enemy AI so enemies are better matched to Snake's (potentially) augmented abilities. It's going to be a balancing act for sure, and I'm not extremely confident in Konami's ability to do it without Kojima.
@@ioncewasmikey Kojima is a great creator but in this case the creation is there. The amazing story, setup, themes etc... as far as technical game design goes I should hope that Konami can hire some top tier experts.
But MGS3 definitely deserves a remake. It's a masterpiece that new generation won't get to experience otherwise
@Curious Consultant Oh I would never argue that it doesn't need a remake, that's for sure. And you're right, the bones are already there, Kojima put them in place back on the PS2. But I feel like the super realistic graphics combined with the more or less archaic controls of the original could be quite a jarring experience. So if they start altering the gameplay while keeping maps, etc largely the same, the whole magic of the game could fall apart. Hopefully the company Konami has partnered with for this can manage to find that balance.
I have a feeling the game play itself will be largely augmented for these reasons. And after all, they're still planning on porting a remaster of the original to current Gen with the "Master Collection Volume 1," so what would be the point in releasing the exact same game maybe a year or 2 apart, just one has better graphics? I think that's the main thing that makes me believe they'll be fiddling with some things for Delta.
Well modders got you covered, there's a crough walking mod for the master collection on Nexus! ;)
Yes it is THAT good.. and it's naked snake lol
Your timing was unbelievably good
Great video as always Matty. Have to say though the cut scenes in MGS are a part of what make the games great. I love the the thought and attention to detail which go into those cut scenes, especially in MGS4
Nice coincidence! Never played MGS before but about to dust off my Vita for this :)
not a coincidence
@@lloydirving6209 Sorry, my comment wasn't clear
I got interested in MGS again last week without knowing anything about the remake :D
Ew vita
MGS2 I much prefer for its vibe and loved Kojima basically middle fingering the worlds sequel expectations. MGS3 though has the better story by a long shot
It's definitely doesn't have a better story. The only part I think was great was the boss and snakes relationship. The rest of the game really seemed kind of pointless and hammy 😂
They was literally introducing characters just to die, their deaths had no effect on snake or the plot that includes volgin. Only the boss' death mattered
@@colinnixon7739 Well to be fair the boss/snake dynamic is strong enough to make the story more compelling than MGS2 alone. I think both are equally pointless. I enjoyed the pointlessness of 2 better but many disagree.
@Matthew Sommerville bro, the boss and snake were together for about 10 percent of the total game.... that's not enough for anything to be more compelling.
Raiden vs all the other characters in mgs2 was intense, had purpose and left a lasting impact on him and the in game world. I'm sorry but outside a few convos with the boss and maybe ocelot the rest of the game is meaningless/boring
@@colinnixon7739 I agree about MGS2, its scope is huge and I personally like it more. But from a story stand point I still think the entire story (even if short) between boss and snake is more compelling from a micro / character building perspective. They really are completely different worlds, with MGS2 big picture and MGS3 deep and personal. Just because its short doesn’t mean it didn’t have a huge splash, and even so, the entire story holds up that dynamic without them ever even being together which is why the finale is so good.
For the remake they said there going to be using the OG characters . It is unsure if there going to re dub or there going to port the old line to the new game
I remember being like 12 or 13 and sleeping over at my nan's after I rented this game, completed it in 2 days and sat up in tears watching the final cutscenes
MGS 3 is the Rambo game we deserved. one of the best games ever.
2 was ahead of its time with the AI stuff, and 3 is my fav of the series. even today it’s very much playable and enjoyable - still a lot better than many games nowadays. only thing that bothers me is the controls, and maybe that some areas are really narrow due to technical limitations.
Matty, the mystic seer of the future
Amazing timing. I just started Peace Walker yesterday
matty 100% has a friend in the industry that leaked the remake announcement lol
This music in the background is amazing. I need to add it to my playlist.
Yes it really is that good. I replayed it last year and it's still in my top 5 games of all time.
The timing of a god
I remember in the online portion we would make the characters "dance" while aiming/shooting at other opponents so that our character's head was a moving target while in one place. This required holding R1 + L2 to aim while tapping R2 and L2 to shift to the sides while also tapping X to stand/crouch, and finally Square to fire. It was a steep learning curb but once master it was highly effective
This reminded me of the end of the boss fights in MGS4 when you point the camera at the Beautys and they start dancing. 😂
We got 3 discs for Subsistence over here in the UK. 3rd disc was called Exisistence and was MGS3 as a movie. All the cutscenes but without the gameplay.
Well this was timed perfectly
The remastered game has been out of online stores for a few years, now.
I bought it about 6 or 7 years ago on Xbox live, and I’m glad I did.
Great video Matty! It’s always fun to hear people talk about one of my favorite series. I jumped onto Metal Gear relatively late, finishing the first three MGS games just in time to play MGS4 at launch, and it quickly became one of my favorite series ever. I go back and forth whether MGS1 is my favorite or MGS3, but MGS2 and MGS4 are also way up at the top too. I’m less fond of MGSV and the other games, but it’s still part of this series I love. For those of you who are curious about the timeline, here it is:
- Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
- Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (the canonicity is questionable as Kojima did not work on it, but there are a few references to it here and there in the games)
- Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
- Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
- Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
- Metal Gear (this is the original game that started the whole series back in 1987)
- Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake
- Metal Gear Solid (there is also a GameCube exclusive remake for this one called The Twin Snakes)
- Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
- Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
- Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
Non-canon games include but are not limited to:
- Metal Gear Solid: Ghost Babel
- Metal Gear Ac!d
- Metal Gear Ac!d 2
- Snake’s Revenge
MGSV seems to be one of the most polarizing games of all time. I’ve seen and heard so many different opinions on it. Some seem to think it’s a 10/10 masterpiece but I’ve also heard others say it’s trash, I’ve never played it myself but I just find it interesting that it’s such a divisive game among the fandom of metal gear
@@jeremyroberts8822 Yeah... it's definitely a unique entry in the series lol. I generally like the story and the twist ending, but it was also way too wide open compared to literally any other game in the series, the vast majority of which are actually really linear. And the story is mostly only told through audio tapes that IIRC you can only listen to in the menu, which is actually something that Peace Walker did before it, but it seemed much less egregious to me. Act 2 of the game mostly consists of replaying chapters from Act 1 but with harder and IMO less fun constraints, and generally feels like a whole bunch of filler. Plus, best fans can tell, there was a whole third Act that seems to have been cut, both due to the Kojima/Konami fiasco and to also avoid drawing out the already lengthy dev time any further. Definitely a contentious game in a series many fans would say is full of contentious entries lol
I fell in love with this series in middle school when MGS3 came out for 3DS im so excited for the remake
left a like especially for that amazing timing
I think MGS 2 is one of the greatest games of all time.. I think stylistically, aesthetically alone it's stands out more than MGS 3.. from playing as Snake to Raiden... the Brooklyn bridge intro on the ship... to then switching characters... I think the boss fights, the story, just about everything is 10x more iconic, and memorable. I loved MGS 3... but it was forgettable in comparison to MGS2. I can't wait for them to remake that.. Hopefully MGS 3 remake is a great start.
I get tired of people saying Death Stranding is a “UPS simulator” it is definitely a weird game but it has so many Unique and fun mechanics. The acid rain by itself makes they game very interesting
Well I mean they say it cus that’s what a lot of the game is. It’s you traveling cross country delivering packages for a good majority of it with combat and stealth encounters and even some boss fights mixed in as well.
MGS 3 was initially meant to be a PS3 game. It aged way worse than MGS 2 because it's technologically limited
codex stores contacts if you press down on dpad
I will save you all 16 minutes and 53 seconds. The answer is Yes.
I’ll be honest and admit I don’t hate MGS3 but I think MGS2 and Twin Snakes are far better games. Twin Snakes gets a lot of hate but it was a really fun experience and Sons of liberty needs no introduction, the game is peak MGS to the fullest.
Oh hell no, he just called Naked Snake "Solid Snake". On a serious note, I can't wait to play Snake Eater on PS5, I agree that the controls even on the collection were very clunky, I prefer MGS4 controls but now I can't wait to play Snake Eater with hopefully mgsv tpp style controls. I loved mgs3 for how innovative it was especially for The End alternative endings and the immersive sniper battle, how enemy soldiers morale was affected by ration storage sites being destroyed.... I could go on but it's spoiler territory... One thing that looks interesting from the trailer is how they show an anaconda and a croc fighting, so I'm wondering if in the swamps we might be occasionally ambushed by anacondas or other reptiles if we don't spot them earlier enough. I haven't been this excited for a game for a long time.
"Cuz I’m solid snake" while talking about mgs3 is wild NO THAT IS NOT SOLID SNAKE
You got me excited to play these games
Bro. You have to beat Death Stranding. At first glance, you may think it’s not good, but omg that story was amazing. Years ahead of its time.
Your timing was impeccable
God Tier timing.
“I’m Solid Snake baby”
NO THAT IS NOT SOLID SNAKE
Matty comming in hot with the timming
Yes but I disagree with you on the gameplay. I feel that the first three games are perfection embodied as far as story and controls go. The only minor thing is controlling the second analog stick while shooting but it's so minor it may as well not be an issue. I DO agree with you on MGS2 being your favorite - absolutely mindblowing and also my favorite game. It was my favorite game of all time for a long time but I haven't played it in a while.
