mgs on ps1

>>10719173
this

mgs twin snakes
mgs substance
mgs substinance
mgs V

that's it

play twin snakes first for the definitive experience and kojima's true vision, otherwise you will forever identify with the non-canon version of the game.

yeah mgs twin snakes and mgs substinance have 1st person aiming and a better camera

you need to look up meryls radio station in mgs1
since you probably wont' have the videogame box that says it on the back

So after getting banned too many times for flooding the board with Twin Snakes threads, now you're taken to spamming Twin Snakes wank in Metal Gear threads themselves

>>10719214
the ps1 version is goyslop,
it has wobbly textures

>>10719214
meds

Don't play the games. Experience them.
Wait, don't just lazily download MGS on your dirty PS5. Wait a bit.
Let the spirit of La Creatividad invade you. Open your eyes and watch movies with the actor from 24. OK? Now keep rotating and witness Kino from USA and become intimate with the actors.
Do you feel it yet? It's Hideo "Dirty Director" Kojima sneaking in your senses.
Now you are ready to start: play Antartic Adventure 2 on MSX

>>10719169
just play the vr missions.
>watching the metal gear slopid story as an adult
hard pass

>>10719173
>>10719198
This.

>>10719203
Ignore this, Twin Snakes is awful, literally one of the worst remakes in video game history

>>10719756

Disagree, they wouldn't have remade it from the ground up if their vision was realized with MSG1.

Twin Snakes is to me, the 'Director's Cut'

>>10719764
>they wouldn't have remade it from the ground up if their vision was realized
What is a cashgrab?

That is Ground Zeroes

>>10719764
>Twin Snakes is to me, the 'Director's Cut'
Dude the director wasn't even involved in that garbage.

Metal Gear (1987)
You can either play it through MGS3 Subsistence (it's on Disc 2 iirc) or on an MSX emulator. WiiVC if you have a Wii. Or I dunno, if you don't have a problem with this you can just buy/pirate the newest collection, all retro mainline MG/MGS games are on it

I hate retarded zillennials whose babbys first metal gear was twin shits

>>10719207
1st person camera makes the game too easy, play the psone version if you still have your penis

>>10720605
This is also true for MGS2

>>10719870
>Z-zillenials!

>>10720765
Exactly.

don't try to do something crazy like play them chronologically. just start with MGS1 and go from there. MG2 and Metal GameBoy are amazing but I think it would be dumb to try and start there.

suggested order:

mgs1 - > mgs2 - > mgs3 -> mgs4 -> MGR -> MG Acid 2 -> Snakes Revenge - > Peace Walker - > MGS GZ -> Portable Ops - > MGSV - > MG -> MG Acid 2 - > Metal Gear Mobile -> Metal Gear Touch (for iphone 2)

>>10719870
this persona practically doesn't exist.

>>10721104
>MG Acid
my man

just start on MGS1 and see how far you get
4 fucking sucked after the first two episodes/chapters/whatever they were called
i actually thought V was pretty fun, but its totally different from all the other games

ill vouch for the MSX games tho
if youre playing MGS3, you unlock them after beating it iirc
i like both of them, but MG2 in particular is an awesome game. well worth your time if you like /vr/

>>10721104
>Snake’s Revenge instead of MG2
>Snake’s Revenge before MG
>MG Acid 2 twice
>Peace Walker before Portable Ops
>No Ghost Babel
>No Policenauts

Are you trolling, anon?
I agree with you though, MGS1 is the best starting point, with “mostly in order of release as best you can afford” after that. Definitely play the titles with “solid” in the name in order of release.
If you like the games, consider MG1 and MG2 (they’re available as bonus content on MGS3: Subsistance version, which is also the version in all of the compilation re-releases), but if you aren’t used to the quirks of Commodore 64-era games then it’s okay to look up a guide for those. Strongly recommend Peace Walker even just as a standalone experience, but if you want the full impact then make sure you play MGS3 and MG1&MG2 at some point beforehand, then Portable Ops, THEN Peace Walker (grind for the secret audiologs), then GZ and MGSV

The series is over the top and wacky, campy, and soft-sciencey as hell, which is part of what some of us like about it, but it strikes that balance of “hey what if this character was a vampire just for the fuck of it” and “hehe, that guy peed his pants” goofy humor with characters experiencing and expressing real loss and grief. There isn’t really a moment where the games just tell you “you should be sad right now,” there’s plenty of time spent on character development for you to legit become attached to a character because you also thought their opinions on politicized nukes or immigration policy or whatever was interesting, or because you laughed when they tried to act all cool and you packed their shit in and they still tried to play it off.
It takes itself seriously enough for some things that it doesn’t feel the need to take itself 100% seriously for all things.

>>10721106
Clearly it does.

>>10721190
yea peace walker WAS fun
i always forget it

imo that short mission/small map design, while on paper seems like it would totally ruin the usual MGS atmosphere of the "one long epic mission per game", actually works pretty good in practice
bummer about what they did to paz in GZ. i liked her, she certainly didnt deserve THAT

>>10721205
youre prolly just getting b8d by some samefag desu

>>10721190
>>No Policenauts
Good riddance, what a waste of time.

You can start with mgs1 or mgs3 because both work pretty much as stand-alone titles but don't start with mgs2 or mgs4 because they heavily require you to have meta knowledge of the series. Can't say about the newer ones, haven't played or watched them.

>>10719169
As a kid I would watch my brother play Metal Gear on our NES. I gave Metal Gear Solid a shot since the reviews at the time were hailing it as the greatest game on the Playstation. Tried it. Loved it. Been a fan ever since. The Twin Snakes was a decent remake. Minus the shitty Gamecube controller.

>>10721326
Mgs1 was probably one of the greatest games you could imagine on ps1, even tho it suffers from the silliness of late game running up and down the ladders 8 times back and forth to pad up the game completion time lol.

Will you be able to stare at boobs in MGS3 remake

>>10719870
I hate people who think of the first Playstation when they hear Metal Gear.

>>10721463
What are you supposed to think about then? The 2d games?

>>10721489
Yes.

>>10721489
Metal Gear is a nintendo game, zillennial

>>10721463
>>10721497

>>10721494
>>10721497
Sure, I get it. Hear Metal Gear, think 2d games, hear Metal Gear Solid, think playstation.

>>10721497
>tfw you realise that Metal Gear is actually a Microsoft game because it's on the MSX
So MGS games are basically at home on Xbox consoles?

>>10722581
Certified MS-DOS classic

Just play them in release order. If you want to skip the first two games and start with Metal Gear Solid you can do it. I think most people would agree on playing: MGS > MGS2 > MGS3, ignoring the minor titles and Twin Snakes.
If you still want more after playing those, I guess trying the original Metal Gear and MGS Portable Ops could be worth it.
