Just played metal gear solid. Damn, that actually surprised me. The story was good, gameplay was good, and this was all done on the PS1? I'm taking a small break before heading up to MGS2 and figured I'd share this screenshot for all my fellow gamers XD

EVERY entry in the MGS series from ps1 onward in its entirety (minus Survive) is one of those "if only I could play it for then first time again" games.

Have you ever played them or is this your first time through the series?

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.

In case you aren't aware, there's also Metal Gear (1&2) for the NES. Most people just ignore those because they aren't nearly as good, but they're the start of the series. If you want more, they're there.

I knew about them, i tried 1 and... well, it's a little too far back for me. I don't care for too many NES era games, apart from a few JRPGs

Yeah extremely jealous of that lol. Enjoy the ride, it's a wild one.
