I just beat Metal Gear Solid 1.
This game holds up tremendously well.

The stairs in particular killed me a lot until I looked it up and found out you can use flash grenades as you run to get through there.
Connor Fisher
Glad you enjoyed it.
It's one of those evergreen mega classics, that's definitely worth all its praise.
Joseph Nguyen
I did pretty bad my first time going through MGS. Got much better on subsequent playthroughs.
Hunter Carter
Right?
The music has so much intensity to it

The game doesn't really have anything clunky about its gameplay beyond aiming when using a scope frustratingly slow (and that might've just been clunkiness of the PC port) and its a lot of fun figuring out how to best utilize the tools you find exploring. The game has elements of a metroidvania to it that's really fun.
I think the only thing I disliked about it is going back and forth to change the card shape was a bit of a pain.
Brayden Anderson
Nice work mate, it's a great game. How it's time to improve your rank and get the other ending/special item.
Jose Wilson
Artificial difficulty.
Carter Morris
Where????
Most of the game tells you how to get through parts and its super forgiving; if you die you reappear at the beginning of the area you were in.
Connor Foster
I totally agree. It was the first ps1 game I've played to completion as a 21 year old zoomer and it immersed more than any game I have bought new since breath of the wild

Imagine that some 20 years ago, we could get dozens of such equally high quality, ground breaking and vividly unique games, within a single year.
Truly the golden age, out of which 1998 is widely accepted to be the peak.
Jackson Gray
I definitely want to go back and play more games from that gen, once I catch up on metal gear I'm going back to the n64 zeldas
Tyler Roberts
Boy, you got a bright future ahead of you.
I do also suggest checking out the other Konami's past mega series, Silent Hill. Release order works the best there, and after SH1, you can just ask around for the PC ports of 2-4 and use the fan-patches to run them well.
Obviously if you dig the gameplay, classic Resident Evils are must-play too.

Dude I was honestly thinking the same, both silent hill 1 and resident evil 1 are already installed on the hacked ps3 I got to play the metal gear series.
Connor Lopez

Great minds think alike.
What comes to the RE1, there's a metric fuckton of versions, out of which you want to avoid the quite mouthful "Director's Cut - Dual Shock Edition". Not to be confused with the original "Director's Cut" version, or the og RE.
Later down the road, the brilliant REmake will be an excellent, brand new way of experiencing what at the first glance seems like the same story and gameplay.
Juan White
I think I might actually have the REmake installed, is this one of the instances where even though they are both regarded as good it is important to play the original first?

Well, if it's called "Resident Evil HD", then it's the (HD re-release) of the 2002 REmake, and not the 1996 original game.
>is this one of the instances where even though they are both regarded as good it is important to play the original first?
Not "important", but rather that experiencing the original first enhances the REmake's experience as well.
The REmake was designed by the OG team, to the old veteran fans of the series, with the main goal of not only polishing visuals and gameplay, but also to keep those experienced RE-fans at the edge of their seats. REmake is deceitfully similar to the original, lulling you to the sense of familiarity... and that's its appeal point.
You may not be able to appreciate the overhaul and changes if you cannot compare it to the classic.
I know some people who started with REmake (HD) and then did classic trilogy as a whole, without any issues, and it really isn't a huge crime IMO. Still, I do suggest starting with Jill Valentine's campaign, as it is more engineered to let the rookies explore and solve certain puzzles at faster pace (+ carry more load), thus getting used to the gameplay style faster. Chris is kinda like the original "Hard mode", but only sort of.
In REmake's case, choose the HIGHEST difficulty option, which is the Normal. FYI, they added this idiotic "Very Easy" to the HD release, and since the difficulties aren't named in traditional sense, many newbies thought that they'd picked the "normal mode", only to later learn they'd beaten the game on "Easy".

The story and voice acting have held up incredibly well for a 1998 video game, but the gameplay hasn’t. MGS1 is my favourite game of all time btw.
Blake Moore
Replayed MGS Saturday and beat it Sunday and the first time I ever played it I had a hard time with the controls and some gameplay mechanics in general. Second time playing through I realized that this game has some of the best level design. im starting to realize that when it comes to controls you have to play by the game’s rules, and not try to brute force it
Time to play MGS2 now user
Nolan Perry
>im starting to realize that when it comes to controls you have to play by the game’s rules, and not try to brute force it
YES!
Finally someone is understanding it, once more.
What's missing from modern mainstream games is variety, and thus the requirement of mastery.
Before the great casualization of late-00s, it was taken that you first had to learn how to play the new game of yours.
Two games belonging into a seemingly same genre could both look and play completely different back in the 5th and 6th console generations... and that's what made the era so darn juicy and memorable.

2004 was the beginning of the swan-song of the Golden Era.
2005 was the grand finale, the end of innocence.
Still, the amount of pure bombartment of GOATs of the 1998 cannot be understated.

id say 2006 was the last good year in gaming before 2019, cause there were so realy fucking good games released in 2006
2007 was when everything went to shit
William Adams
>id say 2006 was the last good year in gaming before 2019,
...you fucking serious? There's maybe one note-worthy game from last year, and a typical off-the-street bloke is not gonna gree on it.
2017 on the other hand was an absolutely amazing peak in the otherwise dark and grimy decade.
It truly felt like we'd returned to the mid-PS2 days.
Parker Brooks
2017 was ok, but doesnt come CLOSE to 2019
Jace Campbell
Luis Fisher
Sorry, but no.
BotW, P5, and Nier Automata alone triumph over the entire decade.
Only good thing to happen in 2019 was Death Stranding and a couple Finnish indie titles. All the big-name sequels and remakes were absolutely sub-par that year.
Daniel Carter
>Only good thing to happen in 2019 was Death Stranding and a couple Finnish indie titles.
DMCV, Ace combat 7, Daemon X machina, Judgement, Bloodstained, Deathstranding
Ace combat 7 is my favorite game released in the last decade with DMCV in close second and MGSV in third

I will never be mad at Reimagined 2 but not only butchering half of the game but doing nothing like that.

Half of the games on this list are either complete garbage or simple nostalgia cash grabs that are less than mediocre at best, god you even add a fucking Censored port of a PS2 classic.
