What's the best way of playing picrel in current year?
PSX, CRT. >butDon't ask then.
>>12691659Duckstation.
skipping all codecs and cutsceneswhy? it's funnier that way and you're not missing much on the bullshit.kojima sucks.
MGS Collection vol 1 on Steam.
>>12691707That one's pretty nice you get the VR missions and the MSX games too. I just played through Metal Gear 2 for the first time this year.

>>12691715If you're planning on playing MG1 then do yourself a favor and emulate the MSX original
>>12691671This, unironically.The psycho mantis fight's 4th wall breaks don't work on anything else.
>>12691671fpbp. Close up the thread.
duckstation or a ps2 with compenent cables and a retrotink 5x
>>12691719A genuine question: what did they do with MG1.
>>12691659Swanstationor Duckstation if you don't mind the developer having regular temper tantrums.
>>12691729Seemed fine to me. He might have been thinking of the NES version of Metal Gear 1 which definitely is a downgrade. The MGS1 collection has both available though the MSX game is the only one you'd really wanna play now.
Appreciate the answers everyone
Buy vr missions. Complete all of VR missions before playing the game. Watch the trailer in vr missions so you get hyped. Then play the main game and watch the bonus opening cinematics first. It's great, trust me, that's how I played
>>12691729Input lag, low framerates and general inconsistencies. It wouldn't bother me if they changed the shitty radio system but they left it as is so it's just worse on all levels. MG2 fares better only because it ran like shit on original hardware too and the remake added a dedicated crawl button.
>>12691849I've gotten a Big Boss rank in MG1 a couple months ago on the MC version and none of what you said is true, you lying nigger.
>>12691724Worked on my Gamecube

How are the Master Collection versions now? I heard MGS2 is getting a lot of fixes due to the source code leaking.
>>12692451It is a lot better but somehow it still feels weirdly stiff to me, even with some graphical bugs in PCXS2. It’s a toss up for MGS2 and 3 but the best way to play MGS is still on Duckstation. They also make it weirdly difficult to play with Japanese audio.It’s nice to have it all in one place but could they have tried less with the MG/MG2 ports? Having that run out of the side of the MGS3 ports is so hacky. Also minor complaint—I bought the five games separately on sale so im locked out of the bonus content. Putrid.
emulated in duckstation with a hack that lets you play hard with the radar on. normal's bosses are way too easy but hard is interminable with no radar.
>>12692457>Having that run out of the side of the MGS3 ports is so hacky.The HD versions of MGS3 have always had MG 1 and 2 as bonus content.
>>12692474It started with Subsistence and I’m unimpressed with them continuing it to handle that way. Instead of updating for 18 months they could have just chosen to not shackle themselves to ports from 15 years ago. Master Collection splits a weird difference between reverence and bare minimum.
>>12691659>What's the best way of playing picrel in current year?PS1 and on a CRT, which it was designed for.
>>12691659duckstation
As with every single game ever made the original version.
>>12691659with a controller
>>12692601are you sure it was designed for that?
>>12691659PS1 & CRT TVYou didn't play the game otherwise.
>>12692451Master Collection versions are just updated ports of the HD Collection. Unless you care a ton about muh authenticity or you want to play the remake of 3 then they're the best way to play them today.The exception is MGS1 which is simply emulated in the collection anyways. That game is best played either through a CRT or through a good shader.
Swanstation, 2-3x upscale with optional downsampling, PGXP on, nice CRT shader
>>12693909>nice>crt shader
>>12691659Real PS1 or DuckstationMaster Collection on Steam is fine but locked at 25/30 fps and is like 20GB because of the 4K videos>>12691724>The psycho mantis fight's 4th wall breaks don't work on anything else.I replayed the game recently on Duckstation and the Psycho Mantis tricks work just fine.They only don't work on PC ports because of the 2nd controller gimmick
