Played it just an hour ago! It’s good, im very happy with what I saw. I must have played the original game like 20 times back on the Wii, so i was watching this pretty closely, but no bad notes so far. I’m pretty satisfied with what I got to play!

Boldly diving into the series for the first time! I needed something different, and I figured “Fuck it, Metal Gear time. I’ve been wanting to try it for a long time. Snake was one of my mains in Smash.” lol
Anyway, obviously i’ve heard PLENTY about the series, but thankfully in casual conversation, most people dont talk about story details, so im pretty blank on twists and turns.
Sadly no, too many damn lists, “top 10 details in gaming”, and other such things like that to avoid the spoilers lol. But, i sat back and enjoyed the game as not only a “game” but a little piece of gaming history and DAMN, MGS is very ahead of it’s time in style, meta references, and presentation. I couldn’t stop a big dumb grin spreading on my face when

(Mantis fight spoilers) I even loved the little deathtraps in the game, trap doors in the floor, bullshit little gun turrets hidden around corners… but my dumb ass likes Fatal Labyrinth on the Genesis, so do with that as you will XD
Funnily enough, I figured it out really fast, like I GET IT, it was a very strange and wonky mechanic to suddenly hit players with, but i was immediately wiggling around the moment I got on it, trying to figure out what they wanted and noticed that I was bouncing a little more when I moved up and down. So kind of… like pure chance I got out alive lol
