excellent video! It's nice to see that someone loved these games! welcome to the fan community! As a Metal Gear Solid fan, you have no idea what a blessing this collection is. after many years of rumors and frustration because these games were inaccessible on most modern machines, Konami FINALLY returns not with a collection but also a collection series and a remake of MGS3! The Master Collection has a total of 11 games so its a huge collection for a Vol 1 and a good deal ! (not counting the Japanese versions, I count Metal Gear Solid Integral and Special Mission/VR Mission as different games because they were sold at the time as separate ) and that is so much fun to have it all on one disc! I had seen a lot of people criticizing it, but as a hardcore fan who pays attention to the different versions, I can tell you that this is the definitive version of these games! Konami is releasing patches to improve the experience (4K is expected) full of graphics bugs present in the old PS3 collection (yes MGS was a bit dead since around the end of PS3!!) have been patched! So, I'm so happy to see new people discovering the saga, thank you for this video ❤
Love your screen name by the way! Thanks for this assessment of the collection. Great to hear your perspective as a hard core fan of the series.
I am shocked but pleasantly surprised to get Clayton's take on this! This has been my favorite series since I started Metal Gear Solid at 7 years old! By a mile, this is the best game series ever! Hideo Kojima is brilliant and nothing beats the intelligence of Metal Gear Solid.
great games
Who made you leader of MGS? He’s got NO RIGHT playing these games now
@@gunsharck Lol.. Why not? Hopefully you're trolling.
MGS was the first game I ever completed on the PlayStation.
I had been diagnosed with testicular cancer, had it removed and guided Snake to victory while I had weeks off to recover.
God bless you brother with health & wealth for you & yours!
🫡 🤜 🤛
@trillionaire8886 happy with health thanks 👍
You found your way out from the sight of the Reaper while playing Metal Gear, how awesome is that?
That’s awesome you’ve recovered! I was diagnosed with testicular cancer as well but the game I played while healing from surgery was Borderlands 2. Video games are such a great escape from reality.
@thatonegeeksite5251 yes they are. Mine was caught early and has never returned. They actually found the tumour while I was having a vasectomy so I kind of got two for one!
The Psycho Mantis moment is one of the most groundbreaking and significative moments in video game history if you think about it closely Clayton.
Dualshock had just come out, and it was wild programming how a game could access game data from other games. If it was a Konami game Psycho Mantis would say, "So you like ____?". It was wild.
Played this game as a kid - legit freaked me out at that moment!
MGS2 is horrifyingly ahead of its time. There’s the Simpsons making a joke that turns out to come true because reality be crazy, then there’s Kojima straight up predicting government Internet censorship and fact control all the way in 2001 before mainstream social media was even a thing yet.
I tell people about this at least 5 times a week😅 max derrat has a great video on it called "the most profound moment in gaming"
On top of that a deep state rogue government uploading their ideas into an algorithm so it lives on forever and affects the daily activities of citizens. Like wtf so perfect and spot on
Shhh... The Patriots are listening
They’ve been doing that with TV since it’s inception
@@AutoAndChill pawns can't become players
Can you imagine playing all three of these games for the first time in quick succession like this?! So so jealous. Congrats, sir.
Thank you. Was a blast and I couldn’t stop playing them.
I can't wait to grow old an gain dementia so I can play these games for the first time again. :D
Finally a fan who isn’t butt hurt about every little detail, you’re pretty good
I like what they did with this collection, they kept everything original and didn’t mess it up like the twin snakes on game cube
The final cut scene of Snake Eater had me shed tears. It was so intense. Gave me a 24 Jack Bauer vibe.
Damm, game reviews done by a real journalist hit different
Hey thank you.
This gives me 90s feel. Where reviews had real, actual input. Top notch job
I know, right? We might need a real mortician to do the MGS: Survive review… or a priest. Someone needs to repent for creating that abomination.
Damn, you can't spell damn correctly.
The ladder is so iconic 🙌🏻 what a thrill!!
I'm sure you mean "What a thrill."
Here's a tip for MGS2 and MGS3, you can shoot the radios with your tranq gun and the enemies won't be able to call for backup.
OMG. Can't believe I didn't learn that. Would have saved me hours!!!!!!
What the. I'm about to tap into mgs2 & 3. Haha, thanks for this!!!
@@Kuli240003 is legit one of the greatest games ever made
@@mookiestewart3776 I ended up getting mgsv, lol. Because snake eater will be released soon and that's just mgs3 remastered right?
I played the OG and Snakes Revenge on the NES when i was a kid. I was blown away when they made MGS. The intro to MGS on PS still gives me goosebumps. It was so new and invintive back then. I loved how Snake was coming out of the water while the intro credits where playing. Omg the soundtracks are so good too. Don't forget the VR MISSIONS there super fun and funny AF as well.
Now play mgs4
don’t play mgs4. 1-3 is all that matters.
@@kujumzmgs4 is pretty important
Blasphemy! MGS4 is a masterpiece in terms of the end of a fantastic story. @@kujumz
Phantom pain is amazing too
@@17vmrivas mgs4 is pure spiteful garbage disguised as fan service. kojima wanted everyone to hate it so he could move on.
Mgs 1 was the first game that let you play while the intro credits were still rolling. It was the first game that got compared to movies as a result of how amazing the cutscenes were. I have mantis, gray fox and big boss tattooed on me.
Certain frequencies in all of the games are also iconic. For example, frequency 141.80 was always used by a character that was lying or hiding something in all the games.
Out of all of the remarkable boss battles throughout the Solid series, everyone remembers The Ladder.
Best boss in video game history!
Today, I ( a redacted fan) discovered that Clayton has a gaming channel. This is awesome!!
Hey thanks! Glad to have you here.
In MGS2 you can sneak up on an enemy soldier, point your gun to different body parts and literally make them shake out ammo and other items.
What??? I had no idea.
@@ClaytonMorris you can also do a nut punch going into first person view and it’s a faster way to knock them out for no kill run. You put them in a chokehold first then go fps mode, look down and press circle. There’s so much
You can sneak up behind them, point your gun and Jack says “freeze!”. The enemy will stop and put their hands up. It’s still an amazing game and series 🔥
Tranquilizer shots in the head take enemies longer to wake up from than if they are in the leg or arm

I have fond memories of the 90s and playing MEtAL GEAR SOLID was one of them - It was intense and extremely cinematic experience - Back then I had a portable SONY analogue TV, a PS1 and I was in my bedroom, everynight coming back from college. I remember the drama and the intensity, especially the telekenetic scene where you placed the PS1 controller onto the floor and one of the characters started moving it around. Kojima was a genius creator who thought out of the box, and nothing like it had been seen before in the gaming world. It made history. I love the entire Metal Gear Solid series - brilliant games with brilliant storylines.
This is a great stuff, I love seeing people discover these games now with the new collection. As a long time fan of the series, welcome to the family :)
I grew up on the MGS franchise, I still remember the trip home reading the MGS manual on the original playstation, which is my favorite game.
Not to say it didn't keep getting better, it felt like an eternity waiting for the next game, playing them over and over to get that perfect playthrough with no kills and alerts.
Enter MGS2, little did I know how scary the ending would be even to this day, this was before the internet really blew up, and the message is even truer today.
MGS will forever be Kojima, how he wrote the story, the cinematics, eastereggs, 4th wall breaking, MGS without Kojima is like a Tarantino movie without Tarantino, it can't be done.
Glad to hear your take on this, Clayton! This is my favorite series EVER! I played Metal Gear Solid 1 when I was 7 years old in 1999 and have been hooked ever since. I'm so glad that you could experience these pertinent, intelligent, fun games!
Have never played 2 or 3 but you've inspired me to get this collection for the PS4 and have a catch-up with this amazing series.
I was there at the release of MGS1 in '98. Had been watching its progress in all the gaming magazines since its initial announcement and was just beside myself with excitement waiting for it to release. All the hype and excitement was justified. Such a unique and stunning gaming experience back then in '98.
I love that he not trying to spoil games over 20 years old
So intriguing listening to someone talk about a game I’ve been playing for 26 years now. I’m 29 btw. I’ve been obsessed with Metal Gear my entire life. This is just so cool to hear. Especially from a legit journalist. Badass man.
MGS made me the man I am today. Can't believe you had the time to finish all 3🤯. I wish they would re-release Twin Snakes remastered, not re-made.
You just reminded me i need to revist these masterpieces, especially 3. Excellent vid btw
Thank so much.
Technically Snake from MGS3 is a Big Boss origin's story and not the same Snake from MGS 1 or 2
Well technically big boss is the same as solid snake but your right big boss and solid snake are two different characters. Big boss/naked snake is the original snake born in the 1930s and solid snake is a clone of big boss/naked snake born in the 1970s les enfants terrible project (cloning of big boss).
@@cantsuggestareasonablename9101To me all snakes are the same snake. A snake is a snake
@@epicon6 Your pretty much right
@@cantsuggestareasonablename9101Solidus is big boss´s perfect clone, solid snake only has the dominant genes so it's not a perfect clone/not the same.
@@daniela.z.892 They still have some genetical similarities. I know who solidus snake is and he is indeed the perfect clone of THE big boss. Big boss back in mgs4 said something along the lines of brother to solid snake because solid snake is a clone of big boss so they both have genetical similarities.Solid snake and big boss are technically the same maybe not physically though since solid snake does have some differences with his facial structure when compared to big boss.
When it comes to these 3 games, I don't think there is a single collection of games I've replayed more than the first three games of the metal gear solid series. For the longest time, the third game was my favorite of all time only to be dethroned by the Witcher 3...or Red Dead Redemption 2 depending on which I've played more recently. But man, I'm head over heels about this series and it's so cool to see someone experience them for the first time. I personally own all of these games on multiple platforms so I likely won't get that collection but I'm glad people have a way to get them on a modern platform.
Man great review, I enjoyed your insight and talking points throughout, very well done Clayton!
It’s controversial but if you didn’t know MGS The Twin snakes is a remake of the 1st solid game with MGS2 controls and graphics for GameCube. It was my 1st MGS game. Some like it and other don’t but I think it’s worth playing.
Clayton! Did you catch MGS1 bringing up the Military Industrial Complex? 😂
Kenneth Baker dropped some knowledge for sure.
Im doing the exact thing now! 7 hours into mgs2 now and then right into 3. Looking forward to it.
I watched my cousin play this as a 7 year old and been hooked ever since. Even got a ps3 just to play mgs4. You should check out the trailer for the mgs3 remake that's coming it looks great.
Did you get that codec message in MGS3: Snake Eater that revelases Ocelot's parents? It was mind blowing. Also, check out Peace Walker, for more Big Boss... dood!
Oh man, also, wait until you play MGS4, and find out who the Patriots/Philosophers REALLY were. Another mind blowing reveal... dood!
I saw my younger brother play MGS1 on PS1 and I made the time to play it myself and wow it was great. I bought MGS2 instantly when it came out and it was amazing. Snake eater I played on my own as my brother was deployed in Iraq and I’d send him letters of the game and the ending. It was so good but MGS2 ended up being my favorite. The action and gameplay and bosses. Crazy how ahead of its time it was. I named my youngest son Raiden.
In "The Fear" boss battle you can shoot the poisonous mushrooms in the area, when his stamina is low he'll come down and eat them thus getting poisoned.
you can also drop rotten food and he'll get poisoned when he eats it
Holy crap I never knew that all these years
Easier to collect rotten/poisonous food beforehand, equipping them in your weapons menu, then dropping them all in the same area.
@@MGsubbie watch me on MGS Delta using this new tactic 🫡
Snakes characters based off of character in escape from New York his name is also snake play by Kurt Russell
WELCOME TO THE FAMILY OF FOXHOUND SOLDIER !
As a 13 year old the psycho mantis ps1 controller port switch was mindblowing
The fact that Psycho Mantis reads your memory card and calls out other games and genres that you like was groundbreaking
The PS2 versions of 2 and 3 have excellent use of the pressure sensitive face buttons of the DualShock 2. For example, lightly pressing and holding the Square button would have Snake bringing his firearm in firing position, pushing the same button just a little more would result in Snake pulling the trigger.
These games have so many weird little quirks which are so unique, its nice that you got to play them!
welcome to the family :P i think you will love mgs4 and mgs5 also. bit of a different vibe but both totally enjoyable in their own way
Mgs3 secret: when damaged to where you have to go to the menu to heal, heal only ONE part of the injury and the rest will heal itself AND increase your overall health bar relative to the “red” that is naturally healed 👍
what a great video! subbed!
I played through most of the MGS games for the first time last year (I had played 1 in 2019): 2 + 3 on Vita, 4 on PS3, Peace Walker on Vita, then Revengeance, Ground Zeroes, and Phantom Pain on Steam Deck/PC.
Also ended up playing 3 again on 3DS (which got painful with that frame rate, particularly during boss fights) then a 3rd time on 3DS after discovering a mod to get it to a locked 30fps (only possible on New 3DS).
FANTASTIC games.
Happy you had this experience. Truly epic.
I just downloaded the Master Collection on my Portable Device (AyaNeo 2). I played all 3 back in the day. Excited to give these another run through. Nice to see you play this awesome series!
Hell yes! I bet you had a blast listening to AI Colonel in MGS2 Clayton 😏😅
The Metal Gear series will always have a special place in my memory. At the end of MGS1 when Naomi tells him what to do, and "The Best isYet to Come" song starts playing I went numb. Still do when the song comes on my playlist. The whole series has those moments.
Awesome Clay 👍🎮🔥
All your reactions made me remember how i feel when playing for the first time! Very nostalgic to me!
MGS was the first game I fell in love with because of the cinematic experience.
You can use the boxes to fast travel in MGS1 by getting into the back of the trucks.
Loved your review, listening to your reaction of the games transported me to my teens in '98 playing this masterpiece, like experiencing now a forgotten a song or movie I use to enjoy.
Snake eater is not the backstory of snake but rather of big boss
Snakes Dad not dad
Looking back at ps1 the games that stand out most to me is MG1, Crash Bandicoot, Tomb Raider, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 and Twisted Metal 2. There were some others but those are my top five.
As a tip for the next playthrough of MGS3, you can actually take out The End well before the boss fight, never needing to fight him at all. He's in a wheelchair near the warehouse entrance, after a cut scene he can be sniped and beaten early.
I waited him out and came back to the game about a year later and I found him dead of natural causes….the level of detail in MGS 3 is unreal
Yep, you can manipulate The End boss fight by forwarding the game clock on your PS2 system settings, I believe if you go just one week forward you will get a call from Zero or Paramedic saying that he died of old age.
Man... Mr. Morris I tried multiple times to write a comment here on youtube but it kept getting auto deleted. I tried for roughly an hour censoring multiple words, but it kept getting deleted.
So I just thank you for the video. And for my full comment I refer to the other video platform you are on, you know the one that starts with Bit and doesn't censor as bad. Have a good one!
Thanks for not spoiling us! I am playing the first one right now, appreciated!
Awesome video! As a long time Metal Gear fan who consider’s it his favorite series ever, this was fun to watch.
One thing I will mention is that the Snake you play as in MGS3 is not Solid Snake. It’s the origin story of Big Boss, who Solid Snake and Liquid mention a handful of times in MGS1. Their father they were cloned from.
Loved this review. Gotta be my favorite series, if not piece of media, of all time
Best review of the series by far. Kudos
Clayton, I am so glad you finally played it!! I referenced the game a couple of years ago about their comments on censorship in MGS2. Well done, Clayton!
I, too, just replayed them and am currently on MGSV now. MGS1 was the first game I ever bought on Playstation.
You might as well finish the going down the rabbit hole and play 4, 5, and Metal Gear Rising, the hack and slash game 😭😭
Some more tips : -Unequpping and re-equipping weapons instantly reloads them, which is much faster than going through the reload animation, especially with shotguns and sniper rifles. Extremely useful for bossfights.
-Multiple bosses in MGS3 are easier to staminakill than regular kill, especially the Fear.
-Every boss except for the End in MGS3 drops their uniform if you stamina-kill them (you have to hold up the End 3 times for that, stamina-killing him nets you his stun sniper), each of them gives you an additional benefit. E.g. Volgin's uniform makes it so enemies don't fire at you when they look at you, which is a huge benefit (and a necessity at higher difficulties) for a fully non-lethal playthrough, the End's uniform recharges your stamina while in sunlight.
-Cooking a (smoke-)grenade makes your footsteps not make any sounds in MGS3 for some reason.
I remember that long ladder in MGS3, it was hilarious. The first time I played it I thought I was missing something, because it reminded me of the final stairs in Super Mario 64, where you needed to have a certain number of stars to be able to get to the top, or else the stairs were infinite. Probably Kojima was inspired by that in SM64 and wanted to play a joke on us.
That ladder has serious meaning in that game. He starts climbing as naked snake but it's big boss that emerges at the top.....what a thrill
Clayton loving u!!!
Love this series of MGS . I just finished MGS 3 4 5 on ps3 my favourite console. After beating the 5 last week I just bought the 5 final edition for the ps5. Thanks for the video
That was an amazing review.
I never knew you had a gaming channel! Glad to have found it
Better late than never! I'm currently playing Twin Snakes in the GameCube and having a blast. I suggest you also check out MGS4 and Rising!
This is why I love Clayton. Dropped a review on my favorite game series of all time. Props to you man.
My favorite video game franchise of all time hands down. Period. 💯💯💯 Glad you experienced them
If you every return to those games, espacially in MGS3, there is a lot, and I don't say it lightly, A LOT of easter eggs and stuff you can do.. if you blow up the food storage, the guard will go around hungry, if you throw poisonous animals to them, they will take damage. Some hidden first person part of cutscenes. Wile interrogating guards you can get information from them that might be useful, or just plainly tell you their radio channel for some jazzy music.. once you get access to another characters Cure-menu, you can check what they ate earlier.. to name a few. All three games is held dearly to me.. 1 for the atmosphere, 2 & 3 for the fun gameplay and 3 for the overall enjoyment.
Didn’t even watch this yet but wow what a cool Divergence form your other content
I purchased MGS1 from K-Mart at the tender age of 10 by myself, this was before cashiers were required to check a persons age for a game. My life was changed forever.
One of my favourite series of all time.
Love seeing new fans enjoying the greatness! :D
Just stumbled on your channel, great content !
Thanks so much.
Dude I didn't know you had a gaming channel too! Love Redacted but it'll be cool seeing the fun side of you 😊
Dude... your delivery and style are top notch
These have always been my favourite games, I am looking forward to you playing MGSV one day!
Be sure to play Metal Gear Rising at some point, you play as Raiden, and the main antagonist, Senator Armstrong is a... very interesting character, that's all I'm gonna say, lol.
Woah! I just watched your Xenoblade videos, and now I get to hear about your first playthroughs of Metal Gear next?
This channel is going to be a treasure trove! Looking forward to digging deeper in to your videos! 🎥🍿
Thanks so much!
LOVE the series!
If you beat Metal Gear Solid Integral on any difficulty on the the original PlayStation at least once, the next time you played the game on the same save file, you could hit triangle twice and play the game and even shoot in first person mode. However, for some reason the Integral version in the master collection it wont let you do that. Also there already was a remake of Metal Gear Solid realeased on Gamecube called Twin Snakes, with improved graphics, first person shooting, and you can hang and drop from ledges. Now that you beat 1, 2, and 3, i challenge you to 100% the VR missions from MGS1, and also the ones in MGS2.
Decided to pick up and play mgs after watching your review. Couple weeks later and I’m back to thank you.
Clayton, in MGS3, after the torture scene, leave the transmitter in your back, and after meeting with Eva behind the waterfall, there's a hilarious cutscene.. there's so many easter eggs in these games... I've played them ever since they came out, and still play to this day. Matter of fact, i just finished 3, now I'm in MGS Peace Walker. I play them chronologically.. as my name suggests, i can't get enough... even as to buy and customize my handguns and Rifles exactly as the ones in MGS4 on PS3..
Time flies. My memories of playing mgs1 with my brother are extremely vivid. I remember it as clearly as if it happened just last week
Amazing review, this is how reviews need to be done 👍
I appreciate that!
Newcomer to the franchise too, and a really helpful tip to the people turned off by the difficulty of the bosses: in MGS1, equip the PSG1, then equip a chaff grenade before the PSG1 animation starts, go into first person mode and out, and you will not take damage
Interesting MGS2 tip: if you spray the bomb coolant on tranquilized enemies, you can wake them up faster
That's crazy I knew I liked you for something other then the news
I grew up playing the MGS games MGS1 forward on all of the PlayStation systems they were released on, it influenced hobbies and skills I picked up, gifts friends and family gave me, it also inspired me to want to make my own games someday. I even got my mother to make me a bandanna years ago which so far only my passed away dog had worn a few times and since my mother also passed away early last year so it means a lot to me.
In the MGS games you can get different "regular" cardboard boxes which will take you to the various locations you've been to before.
@22:00 The answer you are looking for is CQC. Most of its mechanics are unfortunately hidden in the tutorial menus.
Also you can get bosses cameos by taking them out non-lethally. The End can also die of old age.
00:10 wondering how 3 year old me missed it.
MSG1 is the best in series.
MGS2 has the best twist in the series, though the characters are weak part of the story.
MGS3 is good hommage to a Bond film.
This is my all time favorite gaming franchise. I first played the demo on a Pizza Hut demo disc. Remember when food delivery came with fun stuff aside from the food? Seems like ages ago
I clicked on this video so fast, i remember i recommended this series to you weeks ago.
Yes you did! Amazing recommendation.

I frickin’ love MGS. I first played through Metal Gear Rising last year because of how popular it was in meme culture. It instantly hooked me and it made me try out the solid games even though they‘re completely different gameplay-wise.
I played through MGS1, MGS2, MGS3, MGS4, MGS Portable Ops, MGS Peace Walker and Ground Zeroes all back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back. (Took me about 2 months)
I‘m currently still playing MGSV: The Phantom Pain after almost a whole year because I made the stupid decision to complete every side mission before completing all main missions. I still love it though
I am almost in my 40s. As a Kid when MGS 1 came out on the Demo Disc and was passed around between people the Hype was as big as it could get with no Internet. We bought - i think it was the PSX - Magazine and read as much as we could. on release i think it was around 100-120 DM and i had to work my ass of for it. This thing was an absolute Blast. Me and my best Friend played it again and again and again. Getting every Secret, Easter Egg and unlockable we could find. Even as the PS2 came out we still came back to it and played it together with challenges (swapping controller if someone got spotted by the Enemy). As soon as we knew Metal Gear 2 would be a thing it was almost release time. And we still played the first one (even more so after we knew what was coming). The good old times where you had to pay so much and could not just slot stuff into your library via download was the times we enjoyed games over and over again. So needless to say we had the same Experience with 2 and 3. So... actually we had almost the same back to back experience and on top of that we could enjoy the games with the Stealth and Ammo Bandana or got all dog tags in mgs 2. Dang i love those games.
You got to play MGS 4 too now.
It`s already decided, so don`t even bother waiting.
