Metal Gear Solid

There I was it was sixth grade, we were all asked by the teacher privately what our new computer passwords will be for the new programs. "Deepthroat". I learned a lot that day.

20 years after the fact, it lacks the subversiveness of latter installments in the series, but it retains what made it so appealing upon release: it's a really fun, pulpy experience, filled with plot twists and turns that overcome the extremely dated gameplay. the PS1, as a console, has not aged particularly well. Metal Gear Solid is as perfectly preserved as a game built on CDs and polygonal textures can get. and at this point, it's playable history.

Insane. When Psycho Mantis turned off my TV and told me what games I had played on the memory card in my Grandmother's basement, my brother and I looked at each other, horrified, and had thought we had slipped inside a Black Mirror. I hid in lockers and inside boxes, terrified. I blindly attacked Revolver Ocelot with all the bravery I had. Here is the game that introduced video game Semiotics, expanded the form into our physical world, and we are all the better for it.

I'm a Metal Gear fanboy so any flaws this has (such as the gameplay being a little outdated, but still fun) doesn't matter because at the time this was the greatest game ever, and is still one of the greatest games ever, only beaten by some other MGS games. The story is probably the best of each individual game, it brought us Shadow Moses which became so integral to Snakes' character, the music was awesome, the bosses are incredibly memorable, and the stealth is fun.

a great game and an excellent start to the core saga

Just Better game ever

Hideo Kojima’s tactical espionage masterpiece redefined gaming with its cinematic storytelling, mind-blowing fourth-wall breaks (Psycho Mantis reading your memory card!), and stealth gameplay that still feels razor-sharp. Solid Snake’s gravelly cynicism, the "!" alert sound, and that heart-wrenching sniper duel with Sniper Wolf—every moment is iconic

its a work of art but playing it is not so great

hurt me more!

I don't like this game. I used to when it first came out but now the controls are terrible and the fact it has stealth in this turns me off even more. Most notable thing in this game is a ! mark appeared over the enemies heads when they saw you. First time I had ever seen that in a video game.
