I just picked up MGS 1-4 so that I can build my way up to Phantom Pain
Ah nice, I'd also like to do a start-to-finish playthrough of all of them in one sitting.
I haven't even unwrapped "MGS:3 Snake Eater" yet. I was talking to a random clerk at a local Game Stop and the MGS series got brought up, he emphasized that 3 was a great game - I myself stopped at MGS 2 before my long-term gaming backlog set in... From rabbit, beating a game every weekend, to turtle, beating a game a year or years apart/whatever... Almost broke my PS2 also when I couldn't find the lithium battery to change, had to do plenty of soldering work for the input port, heh.
Do have a question, I stuck with PS3 purchases up to V, but how much better is the PS4 version of V/Phantom Pain ?
Snake Eater is my favorite game in the series. I own Phantom Pain for PS3 but haven't gotten around to playing it.
I highly recommend playing through Snake Eater, though I'm not sure if the subsistence updates that fix the wonky camera and what not are present in the HD remake.
