What happened to me?
I have been playing this series since MGS release in 97. I used to have the skills of a foxhound agent when I played. I went through MGS countless times. I could no kill, I could no alerts, I could survive ocelots torture without my older brother’s help (obviously the most impressive feat,). My skill with MGS 2 & 3 were just as good. Constant replays, to try new restrictions on myself. Any difficulty, New tricks, trigger the funny events Kojima would put in his games… All to say, I knew these games very well and was quite the skilled player. I haven’t played 1-3 probably in 15 or more years.
Recently I got the master collection, quite excited to relive my childhood days through Snake’s eyes. I figured I’d take it easy on myself, I’ll play MGS3 first and do a no alerts play through, mostly sneaking but I’ll allow myself the tranq gun from time to time, should be a cinch.
What the heck happened to me? I’m a clumsy fool. I can’t shoot straight, I can’t sneak. I fell off the rope bridge because I confused myself over what the pull up button was. I just got caught and killed 4 times trying to go meet Sokolov in his brick building. That’s right, I’m struggling to get through the end of the virtuous mission.
What the heck, I got so bad.
