Today’s game is Metal Gear Solid Delta. I’ve never played a Metal Gear Solid game (well. Actually. I’ve played maybe 10 minutes of the 3DS version of 3) but I saw the remake was on sale and had been wanting to try it. I hear 3 is a good point for getting into the franchise so I picked it up on sale. I hear Delta got kind of mixed opinions from die hard fans because of some cutscene changes, but nothing too morally compromising from what I know.

My first impressions? I’ve never played a stealth game like this. The best way I can describe it is like driving a manual transmission car compared to an automatic. There’s something about the way it controls that feels very hands on and manual, down to handling camo and food.

I’m struggling to get a hang of the controls but I’m learning. This log took me a hot second because I struggled with the crouch controls. Getting knocked down by enemies when they melee me is also a struggle, as I struggle to stand back up.

Looks wise? The game is gorgeous. I had some issue with the FSR being grainy, but I switched to TSR and ran it at Native and it looks a lot better. Not perfect. But better. The water is really pretty which I’m a fan of.

Finally, the story. I’m a fan of it. There’s 3 conflicts I love as time periods and that’s the Cold War and both World Wars. Both are important to learn about and provide a fascinating backdrop. So safe to say this has my attention.

I also like how Commander Ocelot gets his shit kicked in every time we see him. It’s my understanding he grows into a role seen in future games, but here there’s something funny about him being Snake’s punching bag even though he’s a competent fighter. After he was knocked out I spent a bit just dragging him around. No reason in particular but I did get a free Mousetrap out of him. Ironic since he’s named after a cat.

Overall though this game is a new experience and I’m excited to be playing it. I’ve always wanted to get into Metal Gear Solid and buying this gave me not only Metal Gear Solid 3, but the first MGS and the original Metal Gear for the NES so I’m excited to try those too.

Chronologically, Metal Gear Solid 3 is the first game in the series. It shows Snake's origin story, which leads into the original Metal Gear 1 and 2 games for the old Nintendo Entertainment System (long before the Metal Gear Solid series). So it's a perfect place to start if you're picking up the Metal Gear franchise for the first time.

Metal Gear Solid ∆ is just a modern remake of Metal Gear Solid 3, so it's basically the same thing but better graphics and controls. I read once that due to the falling out with Hideo Kojima, Konami can't legally re-release the original MGS3 game, so a remake from the ground up was their legal compromise.

Now Metal Gear Solid 4 is the only Metal Gear game that hasn't been re-released on any other platform since it debuted on the PlayStation 3. But Konami plans to finally release it for PC and all modern consoles in August this year. Woo!

I had planned to review Metal Gear Solid ∆ for my Lemmy screenshot series, but I was having so much fun with the game, I forgot about preparing a review and just played my way through it. MGS3 is my favorite of the entire franchise! There's something rewarding about actually trying to avoid detection in a game. It's easy to go in guns blazing, but sneaking past guards and not alerting anyone? That takes skill and dedication.

Now that you've played this you gotta play Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory soon so you can compare the stealth giants in close succession.
