overdrive's Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence review

good review, I just picked up the Essential Collection (I don't have MGS1, Substance, or Subsistence) and the camera makes a HUGE improvement. really dumb how this version only has the first disc though, I kind of want to play MG1 and MG2.

as if I don't have enough to play already.

Maybe they're not essential enough.

why's MGS1 in there, then?

Because fanboy-worship = money.Why else would there be no less than 30 titles with the name Final Fantasy VII?

You didn't get the ports of the MSX MG and MG2 in that edition? That sucks. MG is just the NES MG with a few changes, but MG2 is the shiznit!

For me personally, MG2 was my favorite part of the MGS3: Subsistence package. It was this perfect combination of the stealth elements and action elements WITHOUT six hours of pure movie cinematics interrupting everything you do. Obviously, you don't have crazy epic battles like against The End or any of a number of cool assorted things like you'd get in a MGS game, but just having the preliminary versions of the stealth-based combat without random douches yammering for 20 minutes straight about their lives constantly was awesome.
