About to play it for first time

Is it really that good?

It's pretty good.

It might feel a little slow at first and CQC might seem overbearing, but keep with it and you'll uncover some seriously whacked out shit going on behind the scenes and the gameplay gets ridiculously good when you're used to how everything operates.
I'd rate it a Boss/10.

Except for the dated control scheme, yeah. It's pretty good.

When you go into any game with the mindset of "this game as really as amazing as everyone says it is?" You will almost always be let down. That being said, MGS3 one of the best games of all time

it's pretty good but put "pretty" in italics, if you know what i mean

Play subsistance not original MGS3 release

It's the best metal gear game. And that's saying a lot.

you will love it only if you loved MGS1 and MGS2.
if you only thought these games were "ok" and not great, then you won't enjoy MGS3 that much.

I played peace walker then 3 then 5. Thought they were all good except for 5's story

You will fucking love mgs3 then

If you didn't play MGS1 and MSG2 first them fuck off.

You're Pretty Good

Snake eater does a very good job setting up the atmosphere. Especially with the james bond esque opening.

Please be stealthy. Don't make too much mess for Identity Unknown to clean up.

You might feel like the gameplay is outdated, but the level design in snake eater more than makes up for it.

Guys, said he already played 3. I don't think he's OP.

Is this from MGSV or something?

3 was fantastic. But I still loved 2 better.

It's a texture used in a photograph at the end of MGS3.

Forgive me. I'm tired.

Ow shit, didn't see the 3 there, anyway


MGS3 IS GOD-TIER

Isnt this confirmed to be zero?

Everyone in this thread who said yes or that mgs is good is a fucking underaged retard with rose tinted goggles. Metal Gear has never been good game play or story wise to anyone with a half competent mind.

So how do you get this on the PC? I'd rather not do the PS2 emulated version, as it seems too complicated.

It rarely gets said how unbearably slow the beginning is, but you probably won't mind on your first play.

Buy a PS2. Mod said PS2. Alternatively, buy a modded PS2. PS2 emulation is still janky dogshit which is a serious fucking shame. There are so many games that have so many horrible errors that it makes you wonder if they actually improved on it at all over the years.

Its a fucking fun game though, even if all you do is listen to the theme.

Eva works for the Chinese and betrays you after you fuck her

>PS2 emulation is still janky dogshit
Is this nigga for real? Almost everything emulates perfectly

It's the worst of the first 3, by far. It's still good though.

Son.

You've got a way to fall.

hell fuckin yes it is

They'll tell you where to go.

But they won't know...

Fucking kill yourself.

Unless you hate menu surfing and moving slowly in a stealth game you will probably really like it

Son

You better take it all

the first three MGS games are all designed to be largely stand alone from the series at large. you will miss details and some dialogue will go over your head, but you can generally understand it just fine because most of the actual story is introduced and wrapped up.

It's one of the big reasons the more recent MGS games are generally consdered to be not as good, they tied themselves too heavily into decades of lore between multiple console generations.

it's almost as good as peace walker

>Peace walker
>good

Play on normal, try being stealthy but if seen just try making do. Don't pick "I like MGS3".It is.
