Just finished replaying MGS2 on Vita. Man, that game is a ****ing master piece. How I've aged and changed over the years has allowed me to really appreciate it in many different ways. It was a joy to experience again, even if I was a bit rusty.
I felt the exact same way when I replayed the HD Collection. The game is so much more appreciated at a later age. I played them all for the first time when they all came out (day 1) Yes... I'm somewhat old...
Your not that old I still remember seeing and studying like a lunatic, the OPM full cover story and massive playable demo for MGS
But yeah, I played MGS2 to death when it came out, literally to the point where I started to resent and dislike the game. When the HD collection came out I didn't touch much of MGS2 and focused on PW and MGS3. But playing though it again has been a pretty amazing experience. I think it might be my favourite MGS story and is definitely my favourite score.
Huehue. Thankz, babe ~<3 Oh man... nothing will be as amazing as when I first saw that first Metal Gear Solid trailer on the demo disc... that music playing while all those C4's were going off in the trailer... so good. Also that prerenderd Gray Fox and Revolver Ocelot... I watched it so many times.... so. many. times.
I actually never got to play Peace Walker even though I own 2 copies of it now from HD Collection and Legacy Collection (I know, but hear me out) because my PS3 died on me when I was half way through replaying MGS2 HD. I had already replayed MGS1 and halfway through MGS2, and I was planning on replaying MGS3, AND MGS4, so I can fully appreciate Peace Walker... but then the PS3 died... I'm about to fix it, AGAIN, so I can do it... This is also why I haven't played Ground Zeroes yet either. I know, I should have fixed it a long time ago but I've been so busy with real life
I can agree that MGS2 has one of the best score, but don't know about story. MGS1 just has such a special place in my heart. I bought a PS2 for MGS2, and I bought a PS3 for MGS4, and I'll probably buy a PS4 for MGS5. LOL.
