Even in the Click offices alone there are some who love it, some who hate it, and some who remain completely and utterly indifferent to the whole thing. With this in mind, it can be quite tricky to compile a review of a collection like is on offer here without letting one’s prior opinions of the series get in the way."
The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection launched in 2011, and is still the best way to play Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater ahead of the remake.
Can’t wait to one day break that game out of the collection vault
Currently playing Snake Eater HD on CRT 16:9, via Scart RGB. Game looks great but not as clean as MGS2, but thats due to the setting. Can't wait for the remake + the next HD collection on PS5.
Months after they were removed from sale, a number of Metal Gear Solid games have yet to return to the PlayStation and Xbox stores.
Konami's too busy with their Pachinko machines to worry over silly little things like this.
Konami will temporarily remove Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3 from digital storefronts starting November 8 as it works to renew the licenses for select historical archive footage used in each game, the company announced.
To be honest, I’m surprised Konami are even considering re-listing this given how they’ve abandoned their franchises and fans.
Maybe temporarily will become permanently.
Just started MGS 3 over the weekend.
Wouldn't have affected me since I bought the collection a long time ago.
I'm more interested in the fact that they have to re-license historical footage constantly. At what point is it not worth it anymore? I can't imagine a lot of people are buying MGS Collection.
How to get engaged with 2s story ? , can't get through the ship without quiting the game literally since forever.
I'm playing through the collection at the moment, and so far I'd have to say that despite it being a game I loved when it was originally released MGS2 hasn't aged well. At the moment playing it feels more like a chore thanks to clumsy feeling controls and awkward moments. And damn, those bloody camera angles are terrible :D
Here's hoping I find MGS3 has aged a little better.
But then, that's the problem when old games get re-released: it all comes down to whether the gameplay is still fun even in todays market.
I'm loving playing MGS2 right now. I downloaded MGS1 off the psn store like a year ago and beat that in the run-up to the HD collection's release and I'm probably gonna play MGS4 again when I beat the HD collection. Can't get enough metal gear right now. Mind you, rising can go suck it.
