METAL GEAR SOLID 3: Snake Eater - Master Collection Version

Actually the goated game. First game with the third person camera type stuff and it only adds up to the experience. Not only that this also humanises Big Boss further more and got me hooked into story. Gameplay wise its the biggest revamp because it changed how CQC work. Took me some time to get used to these but it was worth it. Basically, run and hold B to slam them. Stay still and hold B, and then LT to interrogate where they will drop a lot of interesting and cool codec codes which either heal you or stuff. If you hold LT to the max, then Snake slits the throat. Aiming also was improved by a lot and playing on mouse doesn't give that controller jank anymore while aiming, fortunately. Enemy AI is also improvised and at the start, I was mildly annoyed by the lack of radar but by time, I actually enjoyed it far more. Adding more to it, alert system is basically as same as MGS2, except that enemies are a bit more agressive now. Bosses were also solid. Though I'd say that they were comparitively easier? Maybe except for The End and The Boss but somehow that dude died after I loaded my save after a few days because I was out of town lmao. Another thing I want to add is that despite the presence of third-person camera, I actually appreciated how they still let you change the cameras freely and added more to it. But it was fun using exploits against bosses lmao. Especially the Fear one. I think Sorrow would've been challenging but I was shocked to see that even animals are counted in your mass slaughter xD. Though I'd say that it was either way longer or way harder because I got detected 77 times, while in MGS1+2 both, I was detected around 50 times. Crazy gap if you ask me. I'll try it again someday but that day is very far until Konami fixes their port. One of the best moments was in finale where Boss finally opens up about her and unknowingly we learn that Ocelot might be her son. Crazy stuff if you ask me. I can also talk about how narratively it's an anti-James-Bond-Game but you'll find plethora of yt videos talking about it. It's a fun game on its own, except for minor kinks. Mb, major actually. First of all, ♥♥♥♥ Konami for this abyssmal port. First the game would not start from the launcher which is an easy fix. Then it crashes randomly which requires another 1 gigs worth of fix. Then the audio issues which make a ear torture whenever you get detected or game over happens, requires another 3 gigs worth of fix. Fine (which doesn't fix the issue again btw). 2012 MW 360 no scope compilations have less fried audio than a so-called official port. Then the worst comes, I cannot save in any meaningful way. I call codec, it connects, it cuts off. It works just fine in prologue section. It just doesn't work afterwards when you land in the zone for the second time. And then sometimes it would just crash undoing all the progress I made. 11 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hours on steam and I haven't made past the factory where we find Sokolov. It's a shame because I was most excited to try this one out and I cannot play the game properly with such stupid issues compounding because it all translates to pure frustartion. I could excuse awkward controls but I have no words for such type of ♥♥♥♥. Konami, 2000s called, they want their ♥♥♥♥♥♥ PC port back. 1600 inr for this joke of a port. Wait for it to be fixed before purchasing it actually. This game will otherwise ♥♥♥♥ with your eyes. Soundtrack was so great if obnly it wasn't compressed. Game is great but the port is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and abyssmal.
