/vr/ - Retro Games

This is the most influential game ever made, objectively.

While Doom, Quake, Half-Life 1& 2, Halo, etc all had big impacts on gaming, MGS1 is the only one whose legacy is still seen in most modern games (for good and bad and ugly results).

Metal Gear Solid

OP here, sorry, I had a brain fart and i meant to post this

It's no masterpiece.

Is MGS1 Hideo Kojima's magnum opus, or is it Sons of Liberty?

>be at older cousin's house
>he lets me and other cousin my age play MGS1
>codec call where Snake talks to one of the girls and says "guess I'll have to strip search you huh?" and she says "yeah I guess so" or something like that
>cousin my age asks our older cousin if that really happens later in the game
>older cousin says "yeah" or something
>many years later emulate MGS1
>no strip search ever happens
lol wtf why?

best psone game ever. this board of contrarians and jealous former developers want you to think it’s bad and zoomers are meh without even trying it.

they just keep on talking? there is barely any actual gameplay

This game was demonstrably more influential for the vidya industry than Mario 64 and OoT, and I'm tired of pretending it isn't.
>But it was a bad influenc-
Not what we're discussing here, and it's like, your opinion, man.

Unironically terrible game

/ogg/ was right... This game is shit

The second half is a goddamn mess. The endless staircase sequence and the keycard backtracking have made it age 10x worse than any classic RE.

The Citizen Kane of gaming.

I think so. It was a paradigm shift in gaming. It showed that games could have depth and nuance. The lore was heavily saturated with a perfect blend of humor and brutality.

Above all else, I think the limitations of the hardware are what gave the developers so much time to develop the characters of what I’ve just previously described so beautifully. The voice acting is legendary, the story, surreal and all the characters in this tale have a certain charm to them.


I would pay an arm and a leg for them to remake this for the PS5.

Keep all original voice acting.
Keep gritty Dark tone of character/environment design.
Keep mechanics nearly same to original.
Keep codec design the same(2D) while making graphics 3D.

A boy can dream.

*Revolutionizes vidya*

Is this game worth finishing? I just finished the psycho mantis fight but the numerous long cutscenes are starting to get annoying and I'm not really enjoying this.

Kojima at his best
don't @ me MGS2fags

What a ride.

>Stealth segments constantly forced upon the player
Why do people hype this game up again?

Lol.

Can every plot hole, inconsistency, absurdity, mystery, and deus ex machina in this game be explained away with "the nanomachines did it"?

As a person that did not grow up with this or play it back in the day, it's gotta be one of the most frustrating games I've played in recent years.

I'm playing the PSN version which has MASSIVE input delay, so many simple tasks like aiming in first person or punching takes way longer than necessary, but along with that are just some very stiff controls that are really hard to work with in high stress situations. Also, for a "cinematic" game I'm surprised they put in so many trial and error elements, like I die about 20 to 30 something times in between each story sequence which takes me out of the plot for lengthy periods of times to the point where I forget what's even going on or why I'm fighting who.

But yeah, after beating it and looking back through the story logs, it's interesting and unique for its time, of course, but it's just straight up not enjoyable to play through nowadays unless you love that trial and error stuff or you've already played it a gazillion times so you know exactly what to expect.

Why do people hate the Twin Snakes again? Every time I look at comparisons it seems like they improved the controls in that version tenfold, with the only drawback I'm seeing being the cheesy redone cutscenes. I haven't started the other games yet but from what I can tell they far improve on everything that the first one aimed to accomplish.
