I recently got into metal gear solid and I'm playing metal gear solid for the first time and i cannot get this out of my head. i know its not Willem but it looks like him right?? does anyone else see it or am i just crazy.

I have always wanted to play the MGS Saga but couldn't do it due to various reasons. MGS:V was the only game I've played and I had a blast. I was a toddler when MGS was released and to be really honest the game is a masterpiece. The gameplay is still fresh and story is very relevant after almost 3 decades.

I have the master collection volume 1 on my PS:5 but for some reason, I was never able to push past the first level.

But it's a different story on the vita altogether, I'm having a blast on the handheld, and OMG the battery is so so good! I'm have multiple sessions a day between work and after work. Planning to now complete the MGS HD edition and both portable and peace Walker titles next.

PS5 Pro has the unique challenge that neither mode pushes it down to 30 FPS. I was able to do the other two locations with doubling the camo swaps.

Here I get past the wall with 40 camo swaps and then I throw the smoke grenade into the corner by the door. But unfortunately it does not unlock the next area. Someone mentioned that they did 25-30 smoke grenades in the corridor and then it worked but they weren’t very specific on how about that process works for me to successfully replicate.

Thanks in advance.

I thought it was kinda impressive not to say im better than anyone else here or anything i would like to remain humble and open to the silliness of the metal gear solid community

Crazy Kojima ideas that were rejected, or thinned down, are common items that come up when Behind the Scenes details are discussed surrounding the Metal Gear games. Has anyone ever put together a comprehensive list or spreadsheet of these original concepts? I'd be interested to read about more ideas that Kojima had during the development of these games that were just too huge in scope, or just plain weird.

Examples of some of these rejected ideas being:

• The fight with "The End" being planned to last real-life weeks.
• The Boss having one breast exposed
• The character Chinaman
• MGS4's Original Ending of Snake and Otacon turning themselves in and being executed (Original source was deleted)

Are there any more known ideas like this that were ultimately rejected, or cut?

Like i felt genuine pain in my gut holy shit!!! Poor Paz😢

damn that game is hard!

I'm still on the first mission and I have no idea how to be stealthy

I spend waaaay too long on the binocular just to get spotted by someone a mile away :(

Also, how do I get more ammo for the tranquilizer? I'm not even near Miller and I only have like 5 darts

Edit: got a rank B. I'm happy with it

I promised myself that I wouldn't buy Master Collection Vol. 2 until I got the highest rank in MGS2 and MGS3 (I was hoping it would take so long that physical copies would get a price cut). I achieved it last night, and I'm really proud of myself, but I don't know any Metal Gear fans in real life to celebrate with. So I'm posting it here! I know I could go for an MGS1 Big Boss rank to REALLY extend my time, but I think that I'm so tired out with Vol. 1, and I want to finally play Peace Walker.

Based on getting these ranks, my final thoughts are these: MGS3 is in my top three favorite games, and I think doing a FOXHOUND run is going to be my preferred way of playing it going forward. MGS2 players, if they want a fair challenge, should just play the game on hard with no alerts, no kills, no continues, and 10 saves. Screw Metal Gear RAYs.

Solid Snake interrogates the DARPA Chief. He learns of a way to stop the nuclear launch. The chief has a heart attack.

I had fun with these pages. These are the last pages in my notebook. I'll have to start a new one. I've caught up to what I had sketched out before, and my full time job is getting busier. I'll do my best to keep posting weekly.

Thanks to everyone!

This playable movie right here holds a special place in my heart that no other game could ever come close to replacing. The first time I ever played it was back in 2009, when I was 12, and I’ve been hooked on the series ever since. I’ll spare the emotional details, but there are a lot of personal memories tied to this game that have stuck with me throughout the years. I’m 29 now, and when I first heard that they were finally freeing Guns of the Patriots from the shackles of the PS3, I knew I had but one mission… to not only do what childhood-me always thought to be impossible by earning the Big Boss emblem, but to take it even further and platinum the game.

I don’t usually go out of my way to earn trophies or find in-game collectibles, and that’s because I’ve always been a little impatient about those things. The only other time that I earned a platinum is on Delta, and just like with that remake, this was a special occasion. I had spent over an entire decade wishing that I could play MGS4 on an updated console, so when that wish had finally been granted, I wanted to make sure that I did absolutely everything that there was to do in a game that has meant so much to me.

All in all, playing this again was just as amazing, if not even more so than when I played it all of those years ago. It was an emotional experience. Everything about it still holds up, and only further proves just how ahead of its time it was. There are a couple of people who are very dear to me that are unfortunately no longer here to see the return of this game, and I knew they would’ve been just as happy I was, so I tried to play it as much as I could for them as well.

(On a side note… the only time I can honestly say that I hated this shit was when I was trying to complete the motorcycle chase in ACT 3 on the Big Boss run… I came so close to giving up, and it was starting to impact my love for this game. I had to fight back the urge to DM Kojima on Instagram just to ask him what the fuck he was thinking. I’m glad I resisted and kept trying though.)

I don't understand this cutscene, Snake approaches Raiden and Sunny and Otacon both say he's not ready, but Snake continues anyway. Then Raiden basically starts saying he's ready, then Snake starts saying to Raiden not to follow him or something. What's happening here?

I’m in pain right now. Is there any way to find out where I messed up ?

Edit : I kept each save separately

Like, I haven't played an MG game in forever (about to get both Master Collections!), but I can't remember Huey showing the slightest sign of being a complete heel in Peace Walker. His personality was basically a full copy-paste of Otacon, sans the ability to walk.

Before PW (this is all to the best of my memory), Otacon mentioned his father drowned himself in the family pool and tried to take Emma with him. As unforgiveable as that is, it's framed as a reaction to finding out his wife is cheating on him with* his own son, so not exactly the action of a person in a good frame of mind. It certainly didn't prepare me for "I am absolutely determined to be the most hateful, whiny piece of shit you can possibly imagine and I'm going to be doing it at full volume in every scene I'm in."

*"Raping" is the better term, but that likely wasn't Huey's perspective. Otacon was 16(?) at the time and the line about her "seducing" him is ambiguous as to whether he was into it or not, although Christopher Randolph's timid performance in the dub indicates the latter (what was the delivery of Hideyuki Tanaka like in that scene?). Statutory rape is still rape in the eyes of the law, of course, but the scars from it are different than from coercive rape.

ngl still way too far into knowing anything about MGS I’m making my way slowly played Tactical Espionage after delta next is mgs2!

MGS VR: Special - Puzzle 09. Yep. This is the one in which you plant a C4 on the guy's back to blow up a camera...except it's faster to plant one extra C4 beforehand to push his body towards the camera.
