With Tutorial on my Kafka and not enough EHR for Pearls, are either of these a decent choice? My Blade is E1 and I intend to get his E2 on rerun. Are there better choices?

I've been playing for a couple of hours and need to put the game down. The "save game" menu option has been locked the entire time. I'm about to rob a train. When can I save?

You might have read the post I made a month or two ago expressing my awe after beating MGS1. I've been going through the Master Collection Vol 1 and playing these games for the first time. When I beat 1, I went into 2 thinking it could never come close. After beating mgs2 (most of which in a day) I thought holy fuck, this could be my favourite. Going into 3, I asked my friend which of the 3 was his favourite, and he said it depends on the day. Still, as I was going through 3 I was thinking there's no way the levels of peak reached by 1 and 2 could be achieved again.

I beat 3 a week ago. What the fuck??? It's all I've been thinking about for the past week. How is it possible to make a game this good for a third time in a row? What kind of sorcery is this? 3 might be my fave (for now)...what the actual fuck dude. It's got to be one of my fave games of all time now. All I do is listen to Snake Eater on repeat now. I message my friend the lyrics in all caps throughout the day. Yesterday I was listening to it on the train and thinking about the Boss and I actually got so teary eyed I was worried about crying on the train and put my sunglasses on. The craziest part is that 1 2 and 3 are all peak in completely different ways.

I'm really looking forward to 4, even though vol 2 feels so far away...I actually considered buying a PS3 off marketplace because I simply can't wait! Until then I'll keep listening to mgs music and replaying the games and texting my friend essays about it. Anyways, I just wanted to gush for a moment! I will say my favourite characters are Snake, Otacon, Ocelot, Solidus, Big Boss and the Boss! I still love the rest though.

Thanks for reading! 🥰❤️

EDIT: I should mention that I also got Death Stranding 1 since I'm a Kojima fan now and it's pretty interesting so far (I'm about halfway). Hasn't exploded my brain like mgs but I heard 2 is really really good so I'll wait til I'm there and figure out how I feel. I think mgs set my standards super high now so maybe it isn't fair for ds1.

I'm doing the Hind D fight and whenever I equip the stinger I'm stuck in first person mode so after I shoot I need to unequip it to move again. When I watch gameplay videos people are able to shoot and move around freely somehow. I'm always stuck in crouch for a few seconds after shooting before it lets me unequip which gets me shot! Am I doing something incorrectly?

Playing through mgs1 for the first time via the Master Collection (after having played some of 2 and 3 when I was in middle school...let's just say that was a long time ago). I'm just blown away. I cannot believe the level of sophistication this game has, particularly for the time period and platform it came out on. It's so...cinematic? The art direction is so good? The writing is genuinely good? I was floored during some of the cutscenes. Even little character animations like Otacon pushing up his glasses. The sheer number of codec calls for different situations, all voiced. It feels so real and fleshed out. Surprisingly good VA too? (I find a lot of old dubs to sound really weird usually). I love the way the characters' personalities shine through simple conversation and how they begin to talk about their personal ambitions while communicating with Snake. He's a good listener and I was pleasantly surprised by how emotional he could be. Then there's just the cool factor and the character designs and omg I could go on and on. So grateful I gave this game a shot, I can't wait to go through them all 🥰
