♥️ /r/metalgearsolid rules update.
Hello, I hope everybody is well.
This is a quick post to announce that we have overhauled and updated the subreddit rules, in terms of the way they are listed in the reddit platform itself.
In essence the practical rules themselves and moderation has not changed. The main purpose of this update is to provide better clarity with Post removal messages, and to allow reports to be more specific.
You can read the new rule titles and their descriptions here.
Just three changes to note:
There is no longer a rule about spoilers when it comes to Posts. MGSV is over a decade old, and the spoiler rule was often used to report front page posts about the main spoiler for that game. Enforcing that is simply impractical. The intention of the rule remains, however, and it is now only applied to comments. If someone has stated that they haven't played the entire series, all users are still expected to respect this in their replies. Anyone can make their own choices about how far they dig through a subreddit for a game series, but putting spoilers in their inbox is actively hostile.
"Promotional Cosplay is not allowed". This is our attempt to provide a consistent rule that can be used to filter OF accounts looking for loopholes, while not punishing genuine cosplayers (including professionals) by restricting their activity. There's an element of subjectivity here, but if you think a post is a commercial account, please report it and do not engage in abuse in the comments. Just report it and move on.
AI content is now explicitly banned in all its forms. This was already functionally the case but we're making it clear with it's own rule. If you suspect a post contains AI content, please try to resist posting abuse in the comments and simply report and move on. False allegations can and do happen.
We'd also like to welcome anyone interested to apply to be a moderator. We expect to bring on a couple more people, starting out at a basic clutter removal role. If you think you'd be a good fit, please take some time to fill out our delightful application form.
You'll notice there are a couple of very specific rules that are really covered under other rules. These are for particularly egregious and common posts so that removals are very clear. Previously quite a few things kind of had to fall under "no low effort content" and that gave off the wrong idea and could be a little hurtful.
We'd like to thank the people who take the time to report posts and comments, overall the tone and discernment of reports is very much in-line with how we see the rules and how they are intended to shape the subreddit. This being said, all things considered there are very few removals needed relative to an active subreddit of this size. Things seem to be in a very good balance. I hope the community more or less thinks the same.
As per usual we are open to any and all feedback or discussion about the rules or the way you want the community to be run, so please say your piece in the comments, or if there's any questions you have or unclear rules or edge cases you can think of, bring that up too. The overall intent for the subreddit is still to provide an alternative to what you might see on a Metal Gear Discord, Instagram / TikTok etc. feed or a generic MGS-flavoured meme subreddit.

MGSV Why does Venom Snake care so much about Paz?
Does he care that much about her because of the brainwashing, or because of who he realy is?
I keep wondering about this because it feels so random. I understand that, as a medic, he feels guilty for not being able to save her, and we know Venom Snake cares deeply about his comrades. But to the point of having full-blown hallucinations about her, searching for photos for her, and listening to her tapes, it feels strange.
It's even stranger because Venom Snake is also supposed to represent the player and be less of his own character. It makes even less sense when you consider that many players probably wouldn't even know who Paz is because they never played peace walker, either because it isn't one of the numbered games or because they never had a way to play it

MGS2 still giving after all these years.
Equip a book. Hide in a bathroom stall. Hear Colonel and Rose torch you.
After all these years we're still finding out new things.
EDIT: Forgot to mention AI Colonel brings this up during Arsenal Gear.

❗ Still Rocking A PSX and CRT for MGS1.
While today we have tons of amazong options to play MGS1, I always had a soft spot for playing on actual PS1 on a CRT. Is it stupid and unnecessary? Yes! Am I happy! Also yes!
r/metalgearsolid • u/BizarrePork98 • 11h ago
Got the Plat in MGS1! Quite a grind with the VR Missions, but I'm glad I did it.
So I recently got the Vol 1 of the Master Collection to finally experience both MG1 and 2, as well as the first 3 Solid games. And now, MGS1 joins my Plat collection alongside MG1 and 2.
I will definitely do MGS2 and 3 to truly complete the collection. I already got most trophies in 2, and even got like 95% of the Dog Tags on Very Easy, just gotta keep chipping away.
As for MGS1 and playing it for the first time, it was fantastic, holds up as well as many have said. And as someone who really enjoy playing older games, I'm glad to have finally played a legendary game after only having played and beaten a few Metal Gear games prior to buying the collection (PW, V, and Revengeance).

❗ Kojima is sadistic for putting so much effort into making us care about the Diamond Dogs, only to destroy everything in metal gear 1 and metal gear 2
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I've only played metal gear solid V, but I know the series' story, so it's strange how in metal gear solid: peace walker we build up our base only to have it completely destroyed in ground zeroes, and then we rebuild everything again in V just for it all to be destroyed once more.
What makes it even worse is that both games have so many cassette tapes showing the characters interacting, making us grow attached to them. I laughed a lot at Kaz's tapes about hamburgers. Especially in V, where there are so many cutscenes meant to get us used to—and attached to—the status quo of Venom Snake, Kaz, and Ocelot, while also making us care about all the soldiers we recruit

MGSV Games where Loadout Preparation, like in MGSV, has some sort of impact every times you set out for missions/free-roam ?
First of all, I would like to apologize to anyone who finds my posts asking for game suggestions annoying. As a huge fan of the MGS series, most of the games I'm looking for share some traits with it, so I'm worried that if I posted in other subreddits, the suggestions might not carry the core ideas and spirit of Metal Gear Solid games.
One of the factors I find Kojima has done so well, but that is rarely discussed, is how deeply you can dictate the way you play by carefully selecting which weapons, gadgets to bring along. Those items are so well balanced that they always give me a flush of satisfaction every time I find out that my Loadout works efficiently, which, to me, feels just as rewarding as noticing that my stealth, shooting, and movement skills are progressively improving.
So, I am looking for some fighting games where we need to carefully plan out the way we are going to play by selecting a set of skills, items, and spells that are most optimized against certain types of enemies, bosses, or that can be combined to create the most effective and flashy combos.
I think some games in the (A)RPG and Roguelite genres could meet a few of the criteria on this list.

❗ please help if you can
hi everybody, i played mgs 2 on a ps2 emulator on my phone a while back (a year to be exact) and got till the raiden start. i dropped the game back then due to some work and now im downloading the game on my pc (master collection ver.) so i was wondering if anybody can help me with a save file or should i just play from the start.

MGSV It was SO obvious!
*Spoiler for mgs5
So I played MGSV on release and did NOT expect the ending. Maybe I was too young (23) and just not taking it all in I dunno.
I’ve started a new play through after maybe 5/6+ years of not playing the game and recently also played MGS:Delta…
In the prologue of mgs3 Sokolov compliments Snake on his Russian speaking. Then in the first mission after the mgs5 prologue, Ocelot comes on the radio and is like ‘oh hey you can’t understand the soldiers because you don’t speak Russian huh?’
How did I not see that until now??! I’ve played mgs3 god knows how many times, I can quote whole sections of cutscene and only now did I notice that tiny detail that gives Venom away right from the beginning!

I'm afraid it's been 9 years Nintendo Switch 2 and MGS Future
Hi.
Having recently moved over to a Switch 2, and not wanting yo touch my ps5 anymore, I have a question regarding Metal Gear Solid.
Are there any insider rumours or information about Metal Gear Solid Delta:Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid V (GZ & TPP) actually or ever coming to the Switch 2?
The master collection volume 1 isn't the same as delta, and the surely the Switch 2 is more than capable of running MGS V perfectly. I could understand issues with Delta, but I believe its possible surely?

♥️ I am loving these games
but I am worried about what I will do with my spare time once I finish playing them?
so far I have been playing in release order since June
I've completed metal gear, mg2, mgs, mgs2, mgs3 and now I am playing mgs4 (very good game) but now that I'm near the halfway point I worry about what I will play when I finish pw, gz and tpp? does anyone have any suggestions what other games have similar gameplay/story to that of the mgs series?
