Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Retro Reflection

Illiya from Awesome Games writes: 'Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is the game that changed everything for me. Its incredibly deep storyline, unexpected humour and survivalist stealth-action gameplay is the pinnacle of true happiness and my favourite instalment in the Metal Gear series so far. And yet, even though I’ve completed it countless times, I still get the urge to play it again and again.'

ive been wanting to rebuy MGS3 on vita but digitally. subsistance was such a good game!

[AwesomegamesUK]

You should! It works surprisingly well on the Vita and it's great to have Snake on the move!

i know i bought it physically when it first came out. it's So good i need to play through it again and have it digitally so i can Never get rid of it! : D.

2 was great but i can live with out it tbh.

just bought the Jak collection. man i'm in heaven atm.

[AwesomegamesUK]

Yeah, I had a physical copy too and you're right: digital is better so you can just pop on and off whenever you like!

How is the Jak collection? They're great games but I heard the port suffers from a few performance hiccups on vita?

[PoSTedUP]

indeed. digital is better.

and get the collection, trust me. idk what people are talking about. you know how ppl are this gen... one missing blade of grass and the whole game is s*** and they rage at the developers and sign petitions etc. f-ing ridiculous!

it's playing nicely and looks great so far. ive read on the forums that people are very happy with it too and i'm one of them :). if there are hiccups i'm sure they are minor and not anywhere near game breaking. it shouldnt be missed imo.

same with borderlands 2, but there are noticeable hiccups in it; but the game is so big and so good they are easily dismissed imo. it's borderlands 2 on the go for christ sakes lol. what do ppl expect that vita to run it like the ps3? but i do say it does run a lot of ports near PS3 quality, graphics and everything. borderlands2 i guess is too big to be one of them.

Haha, that's so true. This generation really has created pixel counters and frame rate analyzers everywhere! It seems like people only buy games based on Digital Foundry verdicts instead of reviews or what their friends recommend. It's maddening!

[PoSTedUP]

yeah i almost didnt buy the Jak collection bc of what ppl were saying. it's good and im glad i got it.

Basically, snake eater is one of the best games ever! Throw it on the Vita.... its epic!
