Why do people complain about the original camera? The game is balanced extremely well around the top-down camera and it's fine as long as you look through first-person view sometimes. Just like MGS2.

possibly the best game ever. people complain because they will never git gud

Gameplay-wise I agree.

great shooting, and the first person was so good for like every gun. Then they add very unobtrusive rpg like elements.. whats not to love??

I prefer the 3rd person camera but my first playthrough of MGS3 was before the subsistence version came out, so I was used to the top down camera from MGS1,2. That being said I still think it works well with the original camera.

This.

The levels are clearly designed with the original camera in mind. The game's challenge is completely dwarfed when you use the MGS4 cam.

2 is better

>Why do people complain about the original camera?
Their first MGS was either 4 or 5.
> Just like MGS2.
See last point.

I agree generally but I find 3 such a more enjoyable playthrough.

What?
The shooting mechanics in classic MGS games have always been pure garbage.

They're made for stealth, not blowing away patrols.

4 u

AKA, they are clunky as fuck.
That's what made things like the Shagohod battle so fucking trash.

Probably because big shell is boring visually

so many feels for this game

Eh it's more that MGS3 environments are much bigger AND more visually engaging. Also the story is more consistently interesting whereas MGS2's bomb fetches are just annoying.

Example: the manual discusses how the only way to peek around corners is through getting against the wall and peeking using L1 or R1 at the edge. Or in TPS you just rotate the camera.

My big complaints with the original Snake Eater are the resolution and frame rate.
It's really difficult to point out gaurds due to the image bluriness and them camouflaging into this brown mess of an environment. Snake controls like he's walking through honey, I can't speak for the others but the PAL version framerate is abysmal.
It's sad because MGS2 had great art direction and controlled like a dream. I have't played the HD version but hopefully it fixes my problems with the game.

HD version of Snake Eater is fantastic; 2's load times are not though.

Also use S-video scrub

This and RE4 are the two GOATs.

Venom didn't care about Quiet.

I will point out this fact in every single mg/s thread until all mg/s discussion dies.
