My favorite part about the hard difficulties in MGS games is the torture scenes. Cause physical forearm pain while trying to mash for 3 minutes!

It is so completely ridiculous on that difficulty... not surprised.

The old thief games were pretty cool about this too. More games should change things up when it comes to difficulty.

I'm really bad at MGS; I beat Metal Gear 2 because the stealth is laughably primitive there, but I was never able to beat the Twin Snakes, even on Hurt Me Plenty. I don't think I even got to Sniper Wolf.

Oh, my favorite part is how you actually need to rely on stealth because attempting to shoot your way through the game is suicidal.

Yeah that's cool but imo if the game is a stealth game the super soldier act shouldn't be viable regardless.

Actually having the torture scenes be uncomfortable to play is a really cool way to bring yourself into character. Way easier than smoking 3 packs a day and speaking in nothing but metaphors.

Dec 18th will be a good day for PC MGS fans. I'll be buying Ground Zeroes even though I've had it on PS4 since it came out.

I'm thinking about rebuying it as well, because Ground Zeroes is an insanely fun game.

I really wish he would release the HD remakes on PC as well though. I kind of understand if he doesn't want to go through with the hassle of making MGS4 work on something other than the PS3 though.

what you're not happy with the existing ports of 1 and 2?

I loving loved flailing my mouse around like a mental patient to use the sword. Made the final fight in 2 so much fun.

The legacy collection on PC would be extremely win. I would buy the hell out of that.

MGS2 even had bosses do new attacks and change the NPC layout of every area depending on the difficulty. it sucks that you could make three movies out of all the loving cutscenes but it was otherwise extremely good

MGS3 changes the layout and everything, but bosses didnt get any new tricks on higher difficulties. :(

twin snakes is objectively worse than the original MGS1 in literally every single way besides the characters having actual faces and every boss having a unique theme song
