Is there backtracking and stuff in MGS1

Heh.

Ha!

Oh, Lemon, you have no idea what you're in for.
ugh

And just wait until Sons of Liberty. Get used to that Strut F Warehouse, you'll be seeing it a lot.
It hasn't been that bad so far. Much more straightforward than MG & MG2.
I got the Nikita missiles and headed to basement level 2 to get to Emmerich's lab, and called it a day.

It's pretty fucking great so far. Kojima just loves outdoing his previous efforts doesn't he?
My one complaint is the strangle/neck snap - It's finicky as hell, and is literally the only reason I keep getting caught.

Ocelot's boss fight was pretty fun, and so was Raven's (which was mega easy once you get right up close to his tank).

This is the only MGS thread I see, so I'm posting this here.



Pretty big difference. Console version looks so washed out. I hate to think what it looks like on Xbone (probably the same as PS4).

I'm doing my best to keep the MGS spirit alive, but when MGSV is out I'll most likely be glued to my TV so I'll leave the MGS posting to others

Oh yeah, he did show up before Ocelot, didn't he? He's my favorite character in the series.

I remember that, but have you gotten to his boss battle?

I was confused for a moment there. First I thought his battle was after Ocelot's, then you reminded me of his dismemberment of Ocelot and I thought his fight came first.

Well, that answers that. You're just about to fight Fox. It'll be great.

How does the Psycho Mantis battle work on PS3 anyway? On PS1 you have to plug your controller into port 2.

If you lose to him and call Cambell, he'll tell you there's a statue of Mantis you can damage.

If you push the middle PS button it brings up options and you can reassign controllers to port 2

PS3/360: Sub-720p upscaled @30fps
PS4: 1080p @60fps
Xbone: 900p @60fps

It doesn't look that bad on last-gen.

Remember to save often. Especially before or during the Sniper Wolf fight.

I save every time I get to a new area. RPGs with sucky save systems taught me well.

"There is no ignorance; there is knowledge.
There is no fear; there is power.
I am the heart of the Force.
I am the revealing fire of light.
I am the mystery of darkness
In balance with chaos and harmony,
Immortal in the Force." ― The Je'daii Code
MGS3 is imo one of the best games ever, you won't be disappointed.

It's better to not set up expectations at all.

And potentially die and lose save data.

I know he's been saving a lot but still.

My friend just bought the HD collection, so we're going through them in chronological order.  Movement is clunky as fuck.
How hard are the games, if you know?

Well then you could just say "save a lot".

I get that you guys are coming from a good place but having expectations for something that you wouldn't have had at all can ruin experiences. I have countless examples from personal experience.
