There's like pne guy who's triggered about it. Most people recognize it as a pretty solid game.

>>5860564
do they though? most people I see seem to regard it to be apart of the holy 1,2,&3 trilogy of being the best metal gear games.

>>5860564
it's short and very limited cinematic game, very overrated compared with it's sequel and with Ghost Babel

>>5860568
>pretty solid game

It was the beginning of the "cinematic video game" which many people hate.

>>5860575
FF7 is more so

>>5860580
And Chrono Trigger

The VR missions disc makes me wish MGS had a sequel on the ps1, with the same engine and gameplay. Its just so much fun, and its sad that people talk so much about the "cinematic experience" more than the actual game mechanics.

I play it through every year, and my thumb gets worn out skipping cutscenes and dialogue. I wish there was a patch that cut out all of the story sequences.

and Ocarina of Time

Does anyone know the origin of this screenshot? I believe it is a pre-release screenshot of the PC version or something similar. Snake has a better face texture.

Twin snakes on the cube maybe

You dense mate?

It's a meme by this point, but it's fair to say that the actual gameplay to cutscene ratio is a bit skewed.

>>5860580
you might be right, but every time i play mgs it just feels like a guy who desperately wanted to make a game that was an 80s action movie

its just so cliched and annoying, although the controls and gameplay are pretty fucking slick

>>5861413
That's kinda the point of MG, an anti war series that doesn't take itself seriously

>>5860564
MGS is unironically kino, even too much kino for vidya and zoomers.

>>5860564
The entire game is a glorified boss rush mode

>>5861463
Your mom's sex life is a glorified boss rush mode

>wanted to make a game that was an 80s action movie
What gave that away, the blatant james bond references in snake eater?

>>5860573
Your comment is so vague, I'll just assume you've never touched the thing.

>>5860564
I like the gameplay, but replaying it is such a chore thanks to all the cutscenes and dialogue. Even if you try to skip all the dialogue, it takes a while just because of how damn much of it there is.

>>5860997
>I wish there was a patch that cut out all of the story sequences.
That would be excellent. Make the codec pop up only to tell you absolutely essential information about where to go next and cut out everything else.

>>5860575
Apart from it wasn't, it creators said they where pushed in that direction to compete with other games like it ya know like FF7. Which came out a whole year before mgs1 and was way more popular

>>5860564
Just play Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, it's much better

>>5861446
>the point is that it's cliched and annoying
And why would anyone want that? It could have worked if it was a parody and actually funny, but it was just.. not good.

Because they don’t realize it’s closer to a graphical adventure game or a point-and-click, than it is to an action shooter. Anyone who played Snatcher or the other Kojima games would realize this.

It’s similar to zoomers not understanding Resident Evil. They just assume the game to be a genre it isn’t.

He already translated your retard-speak, so just drop the strawman. You are the only one who used the word ‘annoying’.

>>5862580
>hurr muh fallacies
Nice point you have. It's a shame it doesn't retroactively fix your not very good game.

I’ve beaten it countless times it’s in my top 3 of all time but there still are things in the game that piss me off. The combat (outside of boss battles) is shit. I know the whole point is to NOT get into firefights but you’re forced to shoot guys up at points and it’s frustrating

>>5862709
Dude it's NOT a stealth game. It's an ACTION game xD
What exactly do you like about it besides boss fights? Inb4 atmosphere.
