metal gear solid 1 is a really good game

kojima is peter molyneux but he follows through on every one of his insane ideas

he needs to quit writing dialogue, the dialogue in MGS games is insanely bad

mgs1 is mediocre at absolute best but it was on the ps1 that was awash in bad games, so a mediocre one gets more attention than it's worth

it's painfully obvious how much kojima wants to make movies because his games got less and less interactive as they went on

lol. I remember seeing this tweet before ( I've never played the game ) and asking yospos what is the reason for her exposure

The sniper girl can't wear clothes because she had her lungs removed to make her shooting more accurate and now she breathes through her skin, you see :pseudo:

no, MGS1 is good (and Twin Snakes remake is gooder)

He does lots of weird interesting gameplay stuff, as well. But he seriously either has the absolute worst ear for dialogue or his stuff is translated straight across very poorly, every piece of information the game gives takes like 5 minutes and could be summed up in two sentences.

seriously I think of him as Peter Molyneux but he commits to whatever stupid thing he thinks of, his games have so many weird interactions

mgs1 is a game that is mechanically good when compared to ps1-era games but still includes like five hours of cutscenes to tell your dumb child brain that you're supposed to be learning something and that's how you know it's smart

quick reminder that "fun" is a useless metric for a game's quality

it is a mediocre game that was the first in an increasingly bad series that was capped off with a game that was so bad it literally killed konami (as a video game company)

mgsv was just the most obvious because it was the last straw for konami who chose to literally leave the video game market rather than publish another one of his "games"

incorrect, they are objectively bad as in the quality of their gameplay, writing and ratio of gameplay to cutscenes are quantifiable and steadily decline as the series went on, plus they had the objective impact of changing a corporation's business plan to exit the video game industry as a result of their quality
