they should put twin snakes on instead of peace walker. peacwalker sucked. I keep trying to like Peace Walker but the lack of blood makes it feel so lifeless and boring.

@System4Ever @Dredcrumb9 PW is why there is so much hype for MGS:V. It's basically going to be PW on roids. Which is an amazingly awesome thing.

I have to say, when I first picked up peace walker, and saw the tutorial, I was not impressed, but the moment I got in to the main game, man that was quite a ride

@snova9308 @Dredcrumb9 I don't base my opinions off what everyone else thinks. I see a lot of praise for PW online. But I never actually met anyone in real life who likes the game. Peace Walker is decent, bu the T rating and lack of blood make it feel weak. MGS is supposed to be M.

@snova9308 @Dredcrumb9 I didn't beat it yet, half way through the game. I like the story, the options, and rpg elements, but the combat feels weak compared to how intense it felt in Mgs twin Snakes, MGS2, and MGS3 substance. Peace walker feels like a cheapened version of the other games.

@Dredcrumb9 @snova9308 to each his own but quite honestly...all i hear is that peace walker was a good title. MGS2 is Slightly overrated in my book...slightly....and MGS3 is fun as all hell. Its so quirky. i had fun punching random animals in the game!

Anyone else think it is super lame that they are not releasing The Twin Snakes in this Collection? I don't need to buy another MGS Collection, especially if it does not have a HD copy of The Twin Snakes. Super lame.

@snova9308 @HerbalVideogame The License to be specific. Money talks though, they just aren't making it speak loud enough.

@HerbalVideogame @snova9308 Nintendo rather sit on the license agreement then sell it to sony or revert it to konami...cuz that would be another exclusive to a competitor.....

@HerbalVideogame @snova9308 nah. nintendo actually does hold the license for that remake. in order for something like twin snakes to get made for another system...none of the previous assests can be used...essentially Konami would have to build it from the ground up...no legal way to use the open source.

Considering that it's missing Portable Ops, anybody feel like it should've been included? I never played it. How significant is it to the story line?

@bahamut1283 it is significant to the story. it's the 1st game where Snake meets Cambell. I never played the game, just read the plot.

@Dredcrumb9 @bahamut1283 it really isnt that significant...campbell isnt even a main focus of the game. The biggest biggest connection that game has with the series as a whole has to do with ocelot..the ending ties to MGS3..but its not like a make or break point in the storyline. if u skip it u still follow the story.

Plus this is metal gear...so like the story is full of plotholes and is borderline the nonsenical ramblings of a homeless guy's drug infused dreams...

Good to know. I hate these "ultimate" collections that are not exactly "ultimate"... Still plan on picking it up, since the only way I've played all the games was by renting them.

Really hope there's a European release. Though now that it's been delayed I may just get the HD Collection. MGS1 and MGS4 separately if I get impatient.

Which I will.

Wow. I honestly think think this is kind of stupid. I mean the metal gear solid HD collection came out, like what, 2 years ago? and now they are releasing this one? give me a break. I love MGS, but seriously what is going through your mind Mr kojima. Besides The last of us is coming out next mouth; so i am sure gamers can spend there time with that game. Also where the hell is portable ops? WTF

@Adamska1995 It came out in Nov 2011 and Jan 2012 in Eur/AU. So basically almost a year ago.

At this rate the PS4/Infinity version will be ready in a year.

@snova9308 @racerxgundam @thehawk3986 @roman4545 sorry. i hold teh same standard for everyone. Just like i called shenanigans on Sony for what they did on the GOW pack i will do the same here. There is no excuse for it. They have the source code on a gold disc already yaknow what i am saying? and the blu-ray discs make game size a non-issue.

Its content control and DRM done the wrong way, plain and simple. I am a loyal paying fan and supporter of the franchise in question...don't be uncool and then expect me to be cool.

This actually sounds cool. Be a good addition to my permanent collection and probably fun to reexperience all but the most worthless MG of them all. (portable ops)
