Just played metal gear solid. Damn, that actually surprised me. The story was good, gameplay was good, and this was all done on the PS1? I'm taking a small break before heading up to MGS2 and figured I'd share this screenshot for all my fellow gamers XD
Snake?....Snake...?....Snaaaaaaaake!!!
(EA logo voice guy) M G S, It's in the genes
M S G: it's in the noodles
BANG!
EVERY entry in the MGS series from ps1 onward in its entirety (minus Survive) is one of those "if only I could play it for then first time again" games.
Have you ever played them or is this your first time through the series?
Boldly diving into the series for the first time! I needed something different, and I figured "Fuck it, Metal Gear time. I've been wanting to try it for a long time. Snake was one of my mains in Smash." lol
Anyway, obviously i've heard PLENTY about the series, but thankfully in casual conversation, most people dont talk about story details, so im pretty blank on twists and turns.
Yeah extremely jealous of that lol. Enjoy the ride, it's a wild one.
In case you aren't aware, there's also Metal Gear (1&2) for the NES. Most people just ignore those because they aren't nearly as good, but they're the start of the series. If you want more, they're there.
I knew about them, i tried 1 and... well, it's a little too far back for me. I don't care for too many NES era games, apart from a few JRPGs
I just started playing MGS for the first time! When I was a kid MGS was one of those "grown up" games I couldn't play. I picked up a copy from a retro game store a few weeks ago and finally sat down to play at the weekend. I see what all the hype is about, it's like diving into a 90s espionage thriller. Looking forward to playing further!
Enjoy! :)
Enjoy it, I wish I could go back and play MGS1 for the first time again. Such a good game.
It was my first Rated M game and it set the bar impossibly high
I wish I could go back and fight Psychomantis for the first time
When I was a kid a babysitter I had brought MGS1 and played it. It always stuck in my mind and later got me to try the series and I loved it. The portion I saw included the >!jail cell and using the ketchup to get out.!< No other game was doing things like MGS at the time.
I must have been around 5/6 at the time. Its safe to say that game wasn't appropriate, but it really showed what gaming could be.
Edit: added spoiler tag. I hope no one saw that who shouldn't have. I forgot that despite talking about a ~26 year old game that it's in a thread for people just now playing it.
How'd you enjoy the fight with Mantis? Please tell me you went into that blind.
Sadly no, too many damn lists, "top 10 details in gaming", and other such things like that to avoid the spoilers lol.
But, i sat back and enjoyed the game as not only a "game" but a little piece of gaming history and DAMN, MGS is very ahead of it's time in style, meta references, and presentation. I couldn't stop a big dumb grin spreading on my face when
(Mantis fight spoilers)
I even loved the little deathtraps in the game, trap doors in the floor, bullshit little gun turrets hidden around corners... but my dumb ass likes Fatal Labyrinth on the Genesis, so do with that as you will XDspoiler
the screen blacked out with a green "Hideo" in the corner in Mantis's fight.
I imagine you played the remaster on Steam, how did you defeat him though? In the original
spoiler
You had to plug your controller on the Player 2 slot so that Psychomantis couldn't read your mind.
And that seems hard to reproduce the feeling on a PC while still giving everyone a chance to win the fight
spoiler
There's a setting in the Master Collection's options menu that let you mess with controller settings, and one of those settings is connect as P2
I also just re-played through this, mgs1 is a fantastic game for so many reasons. It brought me back to when games were meant to be fun and not a grind fest.
I would also like to say maybe take the downtime you have now and play through the VR missions for 2, they add a lot in when it comes to functions of sneaking and playing those will really make you aware of the tools at your disposal, that's currently what I'm doing when I feel like it.
I'd love to able to experience MGS2 for the first time again, you're in for a treat.
You're pretty good.
