METAL GEAR SOLID - Master Collection Version Reviews

I completely recommend MGS1. I think everyone should experience this game at least once. The plot is interesting and even though the graphics are very old at this point they still look good. The art direction just kinda hit with this one. I spend an absurd number of nights playing this game on my PS1 and I was quite happy to play it again now. As much as I love this game though, I absolutely hate the VR Missions. I hated them when they were originally released and I hate them now. They aren't all that difficult. The problem is that they aren't that interesting, there are far too many of them, and they look like butt. If it wasn't for my urge to earn all the achievements I would have completely ignored the VR Missions and I wouldn't have felt bad about it at all. MGS1 is a classic for a reason. It's just a great game and I love it. It's fun, it looks nice for the time, and the plot has a hint of Kojima craziness without really being overloaded with it. Just a bit of spice to liven things up. Just stay away from the VR Missions if you value your time.

Such an amazing game and still holds up even today. Works wonderfully and I highly recommend playing this on the deck

Had to mash buttons. Controller was not cutting it so I moved on to mashing my keyboard. My pointer finger and middle finger now have friction burn from mashing. Of course, that was after I found out you could just turn on hold to repeat in the controller settings and avoid raw fingers. 11/10 game, would recommend.

A literal nightmare to a casual gamer like me who just wanted to experience one of the most influential and acclaimed games of all time.... Outdated graphics, clunky gameplay, poor controls and annoying god awful boss fights will try to discourage any cosy gamer, especially more if you play with keyboard and mouse.... The solid story, a masterpiece, one to play for, was the sole reason for me to push through to the end. Not gonna 100% it though. I don't like self torture much...

Dont do this to yourself, just emulate it via duckstation, up the resolution and add crt filter on it. Its way way better to play that way

Banger game, loved it!. Since the last years update, where they fixed the crashes and bugs, its running really smooth. I just can recommend it. Graphics are good, controls are (for a a remastered game from the 90s) great. REally good story. MGS is just peak.

I used the MGSHDFix mod to fix only subtle problems. Controls are completely outdated, but still a great game.

Classic. Way better than anything I've played when this game came out. I've owned a PS and N64, this gem was my favourite game out of the games I've owned and played on the N64. I spend a lot time playing. 8/10.

Game keeps freezing in the credits before I can get my rank and unlocks. Problem persists after changing settings, verifying game files, updating drivers, and running in compatibility mode. How has Konami not fixed this? Not recommended. Update: It worked on the 7th attempt after changing the screen mode to 16:9. This game still gets a thumbs down because this is a stupid problem to have on 20+ year old game.

fun and historically important game with hours of content and a fun story, what's not to like. BUT, 100%ing it is taking a fraction of my soul, I'm never getting back the hours spent on VR Missions which are actually just boring and painful to complete.
