I played it for about 20 mins once but had to give up. Dated unplayable relic.

I played Metal Gear Solid 1 for the first time 4 months ago and it was a masterpiece. Play video games better. 😑

MGS2 was probably the most prophetic and relevant Metal Gear game and I will always love it for that despite the fact that snake eater is the best.

I played MGS around the time the president man was talking about how lame the START Theory was and it was like "playing his video game makes me more qualified than the president to discuss this thing" and that was a very weird feeling

What is "START theory"?

Edit: ^ 2 is amazing, but it's more amazing if you've played 1. That's why I was lamenting how inconvenient it is to play 1 nowadays.

It is a treaty between Russia and the USA regarding nuclear disarmament and Hideo Kojima finds this so important a thing that there is a character in MGS1 who lectures you about it the whole game. I played this around the time it was a news item that the president just learned it existed and hated it. It has nothing to do with why Metal Gear Solid is one of the greatest games ever made but it was definitely distracting at the time

The lesson is play video games and ignore politics even if the game is basically about politics

if i had to guess, i think they mean the START treaty, which is about reducing the nuclear stockpiles of the united states and the former soviet union

This is correct and I did not mean to use the word "theory"

The only reason i haven't gotten to MGS 2 yet is because I bought VR Missions because 1 is just ... a perfect game. It is Resident Evil 4 levels of perfect game.

VR Missions is not a perfect game but I need to destroy it.

Do I need to to beat the game, or just if I want lots of toys?

You always need to beat the game. You need to decide what that takes is all. :colbert:

Here's an example I just made of how the game's physics are screwed up:

In the original you've got more than enough leeway to clear these boxes but this same jump is so precise in the HD version that your foot has to actually be touching the nitro crates to get over them all. The slower movement speed really sucks.

This thread is dead Poindexter 😡
