MGS1 ($15)
MGS2:Sub ($25)
MGS3:Sub LE ($100) - I kept the MGS Saga DVD
I originally purchased MGS2/MGS3 on release date. I then sold those and bought the Substance versions. So I've owned (will own) MGS1 (x2) MGS2 (x3) MGS3 (x3).
that was going for 50-100 for awhile on ebay, not so much anymore

Stick with it. Don't run up to people and expect to live. Stealth is the name of the game, and choking your enemies is a little harder than CQC.snack said:
Seriously, I'm going through the game right now, and I'm just breezing straight through XD
BTW guys, is there anyone playing the first one on PS3? I've been hearing weird clicking/foot stepping noises throughout certain codec calls and cutscenes, two with Cambell and Master, and during the "Metal Gear?! It can't be! You knew?" cutscene. Its sounds like footsteps occuring in random locations across the two speakers (not to mention, I have virtual surround sound on, so its even more awkward).
To the "new to the series" people: The games are hard. The controls are complex. But there are so many ways to approach different situations because you have so many options. They really do play unlike any other game.
Stick with it and you will be rewarded with some of the most fun and unique gameplay that you've ever experienced.
EDIT: I have played the first game on PS1 and GC many times but somehow, I've never owned the PS1 version. I sold my copy of Twin Snakes to afford the collection and I'm glad I finally own it to play it through again after all these years.

What's the difference, without causing a meltdown?Redd said:No you just suck it up and get better. You won't know what's happening in MGS2 if you dont play the first one. There is another option though if it's about the graphics.............TTS, yeah that's right gaf I went there.

*subscribes to thread to read Constanza's posts* I would give an arm and an eye (ha) to be in your shoes right now. MGS1 is easily one of my top 3 gaming experiences ever.

I've always wondered why people look down upon MGS: TTS. I thought it was great and an improvement over the PS1 version.snack said:

It's definitely worth playing it through to see the MGS1 characters rendered in GC-powered graphics. I enjoyed playing through the game with MGS2 gameplay but the fact remains that the levels and enemy design are particularly tailored to the restricted moveset of MGS1 which makes MGS a purer gameplay experience. The controls were also originally conceived with the Playstation controller in mind.

Whenever you reload your game, it gives you a quick summary of what just happened and where you're going next.

I think MGS has held up brilliantly, kind of a glorious simplicity. It has a few caveats, but not really any more than any other classic I can think of, and the fact that it has just that; few, for a fully 3D PSone game is pretty outstanding.
But in terms of the meat and presentation, it's still so great. Great scenario structure, great narrative and voice work, great mood and music, as far as big action/adventures go this and Super Metroid hold up the absolute best, to me.
Part of the testament to it's quality is that Twin Snakes overhauled the superficial bits and still managed to fucking ruin it through subtleties.

I'm willing to import this baby, but! Is the second disk of Subsistence worth having? What's on there exactly: theater mode (what was this again, cutscenes put together with fluff?), online and what else? Is that disk a must have?
The MGS'es I have now are
-Original PSX and TTS
-SoL, no Substance
-SE, no Subsistence
should I just track down Subsistence or get this entire, awesome looking package?

I'd get this package, given that you don't have Substance.
Sure, the Subsistence that was released years ago is better than this one, but its main appeal is the 3D camera, and you're getting that in this one. Also, Substance really improved a lot upon Sons of Liberty, so you really have to own that one.

Hidden for the whiners:
Quickest way is to toss grenades up into the machine gunner's seat. Drop chaff grenades to jam the main cannon or use claymores to blow up the treads so it's immobile. You can also shoot out the gunner with the Socom or FAMAS.
