    I think its more the new standard in gaming today, "Shits broken but release it anyway and we'll patch it" metality. The old standard where they release games that work but may have hidden glitches that can get patched is dead. The fact that Delta is delayed becasue they want it to work right away is music to my ears.

      With this specifically I guarantee Konami higher ups rushed it out because they were forced to pull the HD Collection for PS3/360 from storefronts because of historical footage they couldn't get renewed and had to end up replacing with new historical footage due to the company or companies just no longer existing. As far as the actual devs go I think it's very clear they care. They did a lot of things they didn't have to do but very clearly didn't have enough time. It's not a matter of laziness or not putting in the effort, it's just corporate greed.

    When it launched with issues i think a lot of people just assumed Konami was doing a quick cash grab, Silent Hill 2 remake was going to end up being a mess from Bloober and there weren't a lot of hopes on the mgs3 remake. Now they've significantly improved this game, Bloober launched SH 2 really well to a lot of success and the MGS 3 Remake looks very good. Its a nice surprise.

      I think that’s a factor, but extremely small and dwarfed by a bad launch product.
      For years or even decades to come people are going to look this game up and see that 90%+ of the discussion and reviews from the game are negative and talk about how low effort it is because they are from or near launch time. Very few people in 10 years or whatever are going to know this game got patched post launched and brought up to what their expectations would be.
      The fact is, especially for single player games, the launch product gets the most attention by leaps and bounds and kind of establishes the narrative forever.
      It’s the same thing with the GTA trilogy. Only a tiny fraction of people who know about it know it was patched to fix basically every issue people had with it.

    I don't think Konami should get credit for fixing this collection. Imagine a situation where you buy a new car that ends up being a total lemon with many features not working or working worse than your 20 year old car. Then the dealership says "you gotta come in a few times over the next year and we'll keep fixing it until it's all good". And once they're done fixing it, your car works just as good as the 20 year old one. Are you gonna be ecstatic about what a great experience this was and praise the dealer? May I remind you that these games did not have to be developed. All the heavy lifting was already done by Kojima's team. All Konami did was put the games into a single package and charged the price of a brand new triple A game. To each their own, but I don't give someone credit for doing the bare minimum that they should've done initially. If it wasn't for the backlash, they probably wouldn't even bother fixing anything.

      I guess I’m confused. I know you’d prefer it launched well and I would too, but you think that we should just not care that it was improved? All that really does is incentivize a lack of effort in general. That doesn’t make any sense. They should be held accountable for screwing up, but also people should be willing to say it’s a good thing that it’s in a better state than it was. That really should not be debatable.

      I think the main thing that old versions did have over this was those mini games. They weren’t in the HD collection obviously, but it is a shame that they weren’t able to be brought up after the original release of two and three. Off the top of my head I know we lost a skateboarding mini game for two and I believe an ape escape one for three. Not the end of the world, but disappointing.

    About the download code for MGS1 in legacy collection, I think it's worth to note that mine was from the wrong region.
    I had an european box with an european disk, but the code was for the US store. I had to figure this out by trying the code on different regional accounts, I have EU, China, JP, UK, US.

    If they decide to make a new MGS game, I would like to see it centered on Liquid Snake. Show him leading a group of, or going against a group of enemies in battles that that have only been hinted at in MGS1.
    I would also like to see a full remake of Ghost Babel. That was a pretty good story and set of villains. Or hell, make the Liquid story about those villains being his enemies or the crew he leads. That might be interesting.
    Although, change the dude that manipulates corpses, into him manipulating mannequins or something. Cool character, but just like they changed Psycho Mantis origin from being a serial killer, make that GB character more pliable too.
