Back to the ... Past! (with Metal Gear Solid)

A while ago I wanted to buy a game I should've bought a long time ago: Metal Gear Solid 4. But I later found out that the story is related between all metal gears and I had never played a single one. So I wiped the dust off of my Playstation 1, bought Metal Gear Solid (it was hard to find) and started remembering how I used to control my characters with the directional buttons, not the analog stick.
After a couple of hours I couldn't stop playing! Everything was outstanding! Be it the magnificent cut scenes, the story, the gameplay, and the battle with Psycho Mantis.. it was just an incredible journey! And today, I beat the game, which I started 3 days ago, and I couldn't believe what a marvelous game I missed! Thank you Konami! And I'm looking forward to continue this incredible series!

All the Metal Gear games are in a league of their own, and they stand the test of time. Enjoy the series! It's a goodie!

So the Metal Gear games are not related story-wise? But still I don't regret playing it, it's a great game!

no they are all very much related story wise. They are in a league of their own for quality. Make sure you play 2 and 3. Unbelievable games.

Download the MGS DataBase from the PS Store. You will be amazed how related and connected every little thing in the universe is. It's a really awesome franchise.

Why didn't you just buy the game on psn?...

[samaniac]

Honestly I don't know. Maybe I just wanted a reason to use my PS1 i guess.

[NecrumSlavery]

All PS3's play PS One games. you didn't need to use your ps one.

I remember this game my brother use to play this game all the time on the ps1, in fact i still have the original game.

[samaniac]

If you have never played it before I suggest you do. UNBELIEVABLE! I mean I couldn't believe how they could do that on a PS1! You won't regret playing it, I can promise you that.

@NecrumSlaverly I knw but I miss my PS1 :P

I'm sure she was wagging her tail to play with you again. I actually love how the PS3 works with PS One games. I remember a few games that I had issues with playing on PS2. I had to play Chrono Cross on my PS1 cause it could read better through the scratches. And some classic games I played on PS2, mostly Squaresoft games, the screen would bounce when they turned on. It was really weird and frustrating.

"Snake, do you like my sunglasses?" Best fucking quote of the game. Glad you enjoyed it.
