Take yourself back to 1998, you’re playing Metal GearSolid for the first time. Think about how kino it is, all those awesome moments.

I played it in 1998, I hated the topdown view and thought it was a tedious game. Giving it a chance later in life I accept the top down view as a technical limitation but I still find it boring and overbearingly pretentious.
It's a shame because I thought it would be right up my ally since I love Spliter Cell and Hitman, but I guess like OP's image suggests, it's more of a jank action game than stealth.

Its an okay game and im glad you like it

Great game. The gameplay aged like milk though. But for anyone who barely plays games, MGS1 would be their favorite even to this day. I know that for a fact since I first played it 4 years ago on my android.
I had a 64 but when my cousin moved into my house he bought a ps1, first game we got for it was crash warped but shortly after that around winter time we got mgs1 and we all found it to be incredible

I was like... 3 years old in 98, and even later my first console was a snes, so I missed a lot of good shit from the ps1 era. Still, I knew MGS since forever, and though someone spoiled the Psycho Mantis bit for me, I played the fuck out of this game on PC as soon as I could, so it still managed to mark my childhood. Three or four years ago I bought a PS3 just so I could play the Legacy Collection I regret fucking nothing
I can't, user. I can't go back. I was born in 1999, and my first MGS game was MGS2. I've never played MGS1 on a PS1, only on a PS3,so I've never looked on the back of the CD case. I bet playing it back in the day must've been absolutely fantastic, and I'm jealous.
it really was a revolutionary game. People who didn't experience first hand AND did not suffer from depression (...) can relate how amazing this and ff7, 8 were.

Was cool to find out you could snap necks by smashing the button instead of simply pacifying enemies as mentioned in the manual.

Also great story that touched on subjects like the Selfish Gene theory by Richard Dawkings and genetic engineering.
Julian Howard
Played it in 2010 when I was in 7th grade, simpler time. It was great, elevator scene had me shook
Dylan Powell
I always loved the game but I also thought it was incredibly dumb, especially plot wise.
People were too wowed about having a cinematic experience with cutscenes like a movie to actually think about how bad the writing and story really are.

The plot is goofy Bond-style fare, but on a thematic level it has a clear existential arc that resonates with people. It's heavy-handed and cartoonish, but I don't think it's particularly bad. Especially not compared to most story driven games.

my uncle had a demo disc for MGS1 back then. it ran from the intro to meeting the DARPA chief - a pretty substantial chunk of stuff for a demo. i remember being so blown away by the fact that you could see characters' breath in the cold, and lead guards in circles with your footprints. i spent at least six or seven hours on it. every time i went to visit him, i'd tear that demo up.

>VR missions >trash uhh my dude playing as cyborg ninja was worth the purchase price alone
Jaxon Diaz
What games up to 1998 had a better plot or even something resembling a plot?
Gabriel Phillips

vr missions mystery mode was top tier fun
Josiah Collins
It was basically a 3D remake of MG2.
Adam Brown
MGS1 reuses a lot of setpieces and setups from MG2 but it's a very different game overall.
Ryder Scott
Pretty much every RPG on the SNES.
Liam Allen
I love this MGS story and Metal Gear Rex. I am hoping in the future that TPP would finally feel like a complete game as a remake.
Joshua Hughes
I was too busy playing Thief, an actually good stealth game.
Asher Morris
*an actual stealth game ftfy
Jason Williams
