      MGS2 is a revolutionary game that is still eerily ahead of its time in 2023. To think that The concept of memes, free will, and simulation theory were being discussed in 2001 still blows my mind.

    100% agree with Jake. This game is the reason I am a gamer. MGS3 had such a great ethical and moral impact on my life, it made me come up for games every where. When people say "how can you game, it's for kids" I am like you do not understand what games can do for you in the positive.

    Man, mgs3 snake eater is probably my all time favorite game. I used to LOVE taking my time going thru every little detail i could to discover everything i could. This is probably the only game i could beat, then restart it again and go thru it multiple times back to back. Uses to love changing my outfits to camo myself and stuff like that. The game, for me personally, really was a "game" changer

What Kojima and Konami managed to squeeze from an MSX with limited capabilities with their vision and creativity back then is phenomenal. I dare to say that it laid the foundation for the ongoing successes.

He let me try it and since then I was hooked on MGS. Me and my cousin spent countless hours playing it over and over. Really was a defining moment for me as a gamer. I’ve since then have always been a MGS fan, and I’m eager to pick this up on my Switch to be able to play on the go. Thanks Jake and crew, appreciate what you guys do.

    I remember playing the PC demo for MGS so many times before I was able to finally pick the game up for the Playstation, and God, it was everything I wanted and more. And then MGS3 came out and I was IN LOVE. MGS4 took me some time to finally play because I didn't have a PS3 at the time, so I had to settle for the few times I went to a friend's house and THEY had a PS3. In the interim tho, I played through MGS2 finally and loved every second of that. Finally got a PS3 after I joined the Army, and was able to play MGS4 to completion an insane amount of times the way God (Kojima) intended, by not skipping a single cutscenes through any of my playthroughs. I cannot wait for MGS4 to drop on modern consoles, and in the meantime, I can't wait to play the collection. The only thing stopping me is that I don't want to support Konami, so I'm between a rock and a hard place. Might just be time to buy a PS3 and a PS2 and track down my HD Collection instead

    I remember watching my brother play MGS1 as a child, remembering how blown away he was by it - at the time, I didn't understand because of how young I was. When I got a PS2 I got MGS2, it was the first game ever to genuinely freak me out (in a good way) how it almost spoke to the gamer. The twists and turns at the end of that game will be a memory I'll never forget and like Jake said, the reason I'm a gamer today.

    Makes me happy to know MGS made you into a lifelong gamer as it did me. I remember getting a copy of MGS 2 in a pile of games as a young 8 year old kid. Any sane child would have reached for a sports game or shooter in that pile, but the rough 80s action sketch of Solid Snake holding a silenced pistol drew me in. The moment I put that disc into my dad's PS2 and the loading screen started playing music, I was hooked. That was easily one of the most impactful moments of my life as a gamer, and to this day only a few titles have ever made me feel that small and awestruck. MGS is by no means a perfect franchise, but it is my absolute favorite of all time, and the one closest to my heart.

    I started with MGS 1 on the PS1.
    I actually discovered that game because Pizza Hut had some kind of promotion where if you ordered a specific pizza, you got a PS1 demo disc and it had the demo for metal gear solid part one as well as crash bandicoot. So Pizza Hut technically open my eyes to a whole new genre of gaming. 😂

    Info on the resolution for the PC version: If you edit the .exe file of MGS3 with a hex editor you can actually change certain values to boot the game in upscaled 1080p/4K - and it actually looks good, better than expected. Also, MGS2 and 3 do NOT work properly on Steam Deck as of now. If you plan on getting the collection on PC I would advise you to wait until the kinks are patched out.

      It's really easy to skip that prologue cutscene by accident, so easy infact that I've only ever seen that cutscenes 2 or 3 times out of the 20 times I've played that game, and I have to consciously make sure I don't even touch the controller and I carefully put it down to let it play out. It's kind of always been that way.

The camo system and hunting for animals to give you your necessities and the field medic system to heal you was totally different from the usual pick up health box or use potions to instantly heal. And the story was captivating! Crazy antics, memorable villains, was a big fan of Ocelot. For now, I'll probably emulate them. Or get it when it's dirt cheap

    Thank you for this insightful video. First metal gear solid I played from start to finish was 3 when I was 10 years old. I played through it SO many times, it’s still one of my favorites to this day. Rewind about 6 years and my dad loved playing the first one. I would watch him and play with his mcfarlane toys MGS action figures and imagine being a stealth god haha! I begged my parents to get me the ps2 online attachment so I could play the first MGO. That was my first online game ever. Of course I picked up MGS4 the day it dropped.. I didn’t think I could love MGS any more than I already did but the quality of life improvements in gameplay just really pushed it to be the best series I had ever played to this day.
    I got pretty heavy into MGO2 back then. Was in the GoldKingz clan for a bit, not to toot my own horn. I just recently discovered SAVEMGO and couldn’t recommend that more to anyone who is looking for a unique online shooter or has the nostalgia of playing it back in the day!

    Metal Gear Solid definitely was the game that got me into video games. I originally played it on the original playstation but a few years after it was released, probably between 2000-2002. It absolutely blew my mind with it's cinematic cut scenes, stealth gameplay (which is still unmatched to this day), and story telling which as was said in the video, was the perfect balance of being a bit goofy, while also being quite poignant and asking some really important relevant questions that continued to become even more important as time went on.

    Back in the day, I heard of Metal Gear Solid. Got to try it, but didn't really play it. Many years later I got to play MGS4 on the PS3 at a friend's house. This really impressed me. Since I only had a PS2 at the time, I got MGS3 and played that. So that was my actual real first MGS title. Later played a lot of MGS4 on PS3 and then a while later played a bit of MGS1, but unfortunately lost track and never completed it. Ever since, I never had the drive to go back to MGS, which is probably a shame.

I’m thankful for the nod but, as you stated, there’s just a lot Konami could’ve done better with this one, dragging out 2 releases has me bummed as well but as long as they don’t try to lump Survive in with Vol 2 of the “Master Collection” I think I’ll be happy.

I'm ALSO one of the rare birds that loved MGS2, I played the Snake section on the boat a million times and unlocked all the little extras you could, and I liked Raiden form the get go. I'll admit, I didn't play much of 3 or the newer ones, taking it out of hallways I think was a little hard for me as a kid. I might play it through now that it's out now.

    9:55 - “MGS 3, a relatively grounded story”
    * flashback to man lifting a scientist with bees*
    I would personally say the first MGS is the most grounded one. And that one is off the fucking rails

    I'm like you, Jake. Metal Gear Solid is one of the games that really defined gaming for me when I was growing up. I was really excited for this collection, mostly because I'd love to replay MGS1. I might have to buy it, despite its flaws.

  • @jaykay4137
    @jaykay4137 4 місяці тому +3

    As someone who never played Metal Gear games before this collection came out, I can answer your question about what this game feels like to an outsider. For context, I played on Switch.
    MGS1 felt like it was a top-down game trying to be a 3D game. This makes a bit of sense given the era it was released in. Lots of frustration due to the camera angles being all over the place. Also a small amount of frustration from a few unexplained game mechanics, and the occasional cryptic instruction or deliberately hidden hazard. I didn't pay much attention to the story, which I now regret having finished MGS1-3 since there were some pretty amazing characters introduced.
    MGS2 was a massive improvement. I liked the optional item menu categorization system, and the camera issues I had in MGS1 were gone. It felt less like a top-down game and more like a 3D game because of this. This made gameplay much more intuitive since it's closer to what I'm used to. The final bosses were so much fun I kept a save from just before them so I can go back and replay them whenever I want. I did get lost a few times, but that was mostly because I wasn't paying enough attention to where I was and where I needed to go.
    MGS3 was fantastic. The story was captivating, the new mechanics were fun but not overbearing, and it was finally a true 3D game with (mostly) modern 3D controls. I was now used to the "unique" weapon select and firing methods, so that wasn't an issue. I did have some trouble figuring out the new CQC mechanics, but I figured out everything that was necessary. I'm definitely going to replay this game some day, which is a compliment I don't give many games that have a definite end.
    I really hope they get the Vol 2 collection to run on Switch. I'm hoping for everything left up until The Phanotom Pain. I'm a bit of a Nintendo fanboy, though I admit the Switch is underpowered and will probably only be able to run the PS3 versions of these games.

      On what platform would you get it? I'd advise you to not buy the PC version at the moment because the state of it is kinda abysmal. It seems fine on any console though. They seem to have released a faulty version on PC that boots up the game in 720p resolution and you have to manually hex edit the .exe file so it boots up in 1080p. It looks even worse than the PS3 version right now. After the 1080p edit it looks pretty nice though. Hope they'll fix it soon.

    I'm in my early 40's, which means I'm old as hell and fell in love with the early 3d mgs's. I never got into the 8 or 16 but ones. Metal gear solid was my first. Didn't ever have a chance to play 2. Was VERY into 3. Played tidbits of 4. Absolutely loved ground zeros and phantom pain. Never played any of the portables. I finally downloaded mgs3 tonight and found the controls very frustrating. My son and I were passing the controller back and forth. In the clips I saw of mgs3, you're moving around and shooting with a lot more ease than we experienced. I know we just need to keep at it. And the controls will begin to feel more natural.

    I was introduced to Metal Gear Solid through V and loved it. It was my intention to play the originals at some point but never got the motivation to dig out old consoles. I’ll likely try this when it’s discounted later on as let’s be honest, it’s expensive for such old games that are simply ports and I’m not even sure I’ll enjoy it.

    I remember seeing the commercial back in the late 90s for Metal Gear Solid and thinking how cool it looked. My problem was I never played the first couple of games on NES. So I wondered if it was a game I should jump into. Rainbow Six had come out around the same time and that was a game that looked really interesting to me as well. None of my friends were playing either game yet and the only magazine I was subbed to at the time was Nintendo Power. So I grabbed my hard earned cash that I had scrounged together from odd jobs and headed for Circuit City. They had both games and they happened to be side by side on the rack. I had no idea which one to pick. I looked on the back of the CD cases to check them out. The sales rep watching me, this punk 17 year old kid trying to make a decision. Finally after a few minutes of waffling I chose Metal Gear Solid and brought it home that evening. One of the best decisions I ever made in life.

    Possibly unpopular opinion here, but I was REALLY hoping that this collection would have had the Twin Snakes version of MGS1, but like you said, it's better than nothing at this point.

      I used to think this too but after playing the twin snakes emulated, the remake didn't work out. The boss fights and areas were obviously not designed with first person shooting in mind. The cutscenes often diverge from the original in extreme ways, i.e. snake threatening to shoot otacon as a joke in TTS but not in 1. Many easter eggs are not present in TTS that are present in mgs1.

    • @arbi9506
      @arbi9506 5 місяців тому +1

      Revengeance probably won't come since it's a massive game that feels separated from the franchise I think. Like how if a supposed Shin Megami Tensei master collection were to appear, you wouldn't expect the Persona games to be there since despite being spinoffs they're so distinct from their parent games that they're basically almost completely separate.

When Metal Gear Solid came out, it changed the way that I saw game development forever, eventually inspiring me to become a game developer myself. My first AAA game studio job was at Kojima Productions. It was a dream come true and the man himself is as advertised. Passionate, playful and constantly unbelievably down to earth. Best boss ever.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but Metal Gear Solid 1 was never included in the HD Collection, but rather on the Legacy Collection. I know that because I own the HD Collection for PS3 but have never owned or played MGS1 on it, and the promotional material for the Legacy Collection heavily showcased Solid Snake's design of MGS1.

    They should have included the updated visuals and gameplay from Twin Snakes, at least as an option.

I stayed with the series up to 3, played Portable Ops on PSP then didn’t try Ac!d or Peace Walker and jumped back in for MGS 4 and eventually Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain.

The next time I played I was so invested in the story that I didn't stop playing until 4 in the morning, 2 hours after I realized in had a shift at 6am. No other game has ever made me feel more invested that I needed to know what happened and would not stop until I was finished.

    On the Nintendo Switch ports, my theory as to why the games are locked to 30fps is based on them being ports of the Bluepoint PS3 remasters. Since the GPU performance of the Switch is variable depending on whether it is running handheld or docked, to get it to run at 60 for either or both probably would have taken extra optimisation that Konami was unwilling to provide. Then again we also have the Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition Switch port running 1080p/60fps docked, so who can say just how hard it would have been to get the MGS Collection to do the same (although my money says it wouldn't have been very hard).

    That 8 bits game included was not snake's revenge (which is a NES game made by Konami America). The one included and which you shown in the video is Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, which is an MSX2 game made by Kogima in response to the incredibly terrible "Snake's revenge" Konami America made for the NES, and as an owner of an MSX2 since the 80's I can assure you it is a master piece. Many of the elements of that MSX2 game were ported and remade into the PS1 sequel: Metal Gear Solid, which is kind of a remake of the MSX2 game, actually, but just set a few years later.
    Totally worth playing. One of the best 8 bits games ever made.
