Is the game easier as some people online say?
I would say yes and no. I feel like if you're going into it with two decades of experience in the original you're going to rape it since everything operates the same. Although bullet drop does change the game a huge deal.

I just completed it.

I think in the land of remakes, it's definitely a better one. Although I feel like it falls in this vague area between remaster/remake since it's literally the same game with new flesh on it's bones. I do think it's a lot of fun to mess with the new gameplay interpretation but it's not terribly different.

Watching the debriefing reminded me why I was such a huge MGS mark when I was younger.

Beware, Eva is going to run you the fuck over A LOT during the Shagohod fight. She never touched me in the original but holy shit at least 5 times. Also I noticed that fight had slightly different behavior. It'll start shooting missiles as it's treads are disabled which was never a thing in the original. Once you hit it, it would be crippled.

Kinda surprised there wasn't a whole lot of new new game plus stuff. There's not much more for me to unlock and I have all but the GA KO camo AT camo, which is an all purpose ghillie suit that's in that new online mode. And apparently, that ghillie suit doesn't affect foxhound rank.

Stealth Camo looks fucking awesome btw. Snake's entire being is mapped out when using it but it's translucent and not just like a lower res version of it.
 
How are the gunfights now? Do enemies get gibbed?


Do they keep the moment where the Boss calls the Raiden mask a "fairy disguise"? lol. I thought for sure all the Raikov shit would be edited.
No they did, rambled about it earlier a bit. The standard Raikov shit is intact. The guy I watched didn't do all the easter egg like like messing with him, wearing his mask in front of him, following him to the bathroom etc. But Boss still has that exact line.
 
If they ruined Snake Eater that is a 100% no play for me
Well I mean, judge for yourself. It's the same vocalist (Cynthia Harrell), they just decided to do another rendition of it for some reason. I personally don't find it abhorrent, but the original is still better.

The original is still in the game if you play in Legacy mode though, like I said.
I closed the game for a bit on my Deck and just turned it back on after having started a Legacy-style save file - if you let the Snake Eater intro play without pressing anything to skip into the main menu, it's the old intro (both visuals and audio) and the interactive bits are still there too. That's neat.

I didn't know that. I did try legacy mode a bit but it felt jarring with how the controls are now even though it's the overhead angle.

BTW the box trick still works on hills and steps.

I'm looking forward to my first replay since it'll be on extreme and I'll actually start killing people. I do wanna get the GA KOs and Kerotans on that run, and maybe get the Markhor title for the EZ gun even though I'll never use it.
 
What a broken ass release, dont they have beta testers anymore?

Oh noooo! The game has... 6 bugs under hyperspecific circumstances!!! It's a DISASTER of a launch!!! BROKEN!!!

I played this game entirely to 100% on a fucking Steam Deck with zero crashes or bugs whatsoever. I know I know, the "but it worked fine for meeee!" argument is retarded most of the time, but this time I think it is warranted to point out when the game is working pretty much flawlessly on a fucking underpowered handheld from three years ago.
 
i heard they also are complaining about eva´s tits size. modern gaming culture is a fucking cesspool
Eva's tits are the same size they just don't have jiggle physics anymore which makes certain scenes like the one where she tries to seduce Snake look really weird and stiff.

On the surface that seems like woke censorship but I've heard UE5 has massive problems with complex physics which is why UE5 games rarely have cloth or hair physics.
 
A warning is given to the modern audience since they easily cry :story:

Any game that does this isn't getting any playtime for me. If I have to feel second hand shame just for firing the game up, guess what I am going to do? I will just play the original.

Sucks for all the people who put in the effort, I guess, it could be the best MGS released in years and I couldn't care less.

Remember when you got the game on the PS2 and it was broken at launch? What's that, it wasn't? The camera was the biggest flaw and they fixed it in the re-release which was the main way people play this game today anyways?

That is very much the case, altho once again we have another example of an unnecessary downgrade, and for what? For shinier graphics? Mechanics from MGS5 that people want for some god forsaken reasons? The game wasn't designed with them in mind and plays just fine as is.
 
Finding myself using the directional mic way more than I ever did in the original. The fact you can move with it whilst scanning for sounds is actually extremely useful before you get the better recon tools. You can also find the ga ko and kerotans with it, they will make a noise when you point the mic in their direction.

It also makes looking around when prone in grass much easier, first person view instead of this awful new angle.

They made it easier to get by letting you have unlimited saves (I assume they did this because of the autosave feature already kinda fucking it). I took advantage of that, but self-imposed challenge runs are probably going to be where the game shines in terms of replayability.
