METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER

Delta is MGS3 but it has everything a fan could ask for. They brought back the lead singer of the main theme Cynthia Harrell And restored almost all the content found in the original PS2 subsistence release, Snake V Monkey, Guy savage with this minigame being a remake of the original made by platinum games the same people that made Bayonetta and even added a neat small side 12 player multiplayer mode in the form of foxhunt...if you can get people to play with you on that... And they even added a legacy camera option to accommodate MGS3 original players, and modern controls to accommodate modern action game fans. The controls are also very easy to understand and use and they even made it so you can NG+ with your save data into another difficulty. Autosaves were added, and save based requirments are removed for high tier play along with a fast load save option making the game much easier for new fans of the series. Performance wise I got a mostly locked 60 on medium settings with DLSS set to quality at 1080p And only crashed once in all of my 36 hours so the game is very stable. Alot of things were changed The Mk22 has bullet dropped on modern making it much harder to score instant knock out headshots with it and you get much less suppressors for the virtuous mission. The HUD layout and controls can be fully configured to your liking regardless of style. Boss wise you can skip this part to avoid spoilers The pain is actually more tricky, The Fear cant be cheesed with the fake death pill trick forcing you to fight him proper, and the fury is actually very dangerous if your not careful, The end actually cant be heard breathing through the mic and the konami code doesnt work on any difficulty you have to fight him proper when you do fight him. Volgin and the Boss are much more cinematically appropriate and allow you to fully utilize CQC to defeat them via proper counters. If your a serious MGS3 fan this game is a remake done right as it respects everything MGS3 is about while fixing many of its blemishes and improving it in all the right ways. My only nitpicks is the game is graphically demanding so you need a strong GPU to enjoy it with such a remake, and the game. You cant swap between legacy and third person camera like the HD and subsistance releases of MGS3 With the autosaves with the dropped save requirements paired with the ability to bring in NG+ gear from a easier difficulty file...it does make it the easiest game to Foxhound imo...of all the versions of MGS3. Especially with the new All terrain Camo obtained from the new GA-KO collectables aside from the kerotans... In the original to use the NG+ gear you had to unlock it in a extreme difficulty save file to use it in a foxhound run, but I played normal twice and used the gear from that and loaded the game complete on extreme to do it with relative ease. And I think a Foxhunt friend pass with main game save transfer when they do get it would go a long way in solving the player count issues for that mode given you need a friend anyways to play it and the main game is like 70 bucks 80 if you count sneaking suit DLC and no sales which makes it prohibitively expensive to get it for a friend to play it. But overall if your a fan of MGS3 youll love delta just because of how genuine it is to the original while improving it in every way a fan could ask for. After 35 hours of combined playtime in 3 separate runs I 100%ed the steam achievements the only thing I didn't 100% was the Snake V monkey's mode or pick up all the cutscenes in the demo theater as there is no steam achievements tied to it. So id say the game itself has about 20-50 hours of playtime depending on player skill if your very skilled you absolutely can do it all in 1 run and finish the game completely steam achievement wise in 10~ hours. But I did it in 3 runs across those 35 hours across 3 days, and it also depends on what you define as 100% do you only define steam achievements or everything in the game needing to be completed? In any case I rate the game a 10/10 a must buy if your an MGS fan.
