Still holds up very well minus the incredibly boring first 450 VR missions followed by the hardest task in video game history (The last 50 or so). In my experience playing this game on PS3 and PS Vita I've seen this game drop frames ALL the time. I don't know why, but whenever people give the master collection version of this game shit they always tend to forget that this version has the slow-ass codec load times and the CONSTANT frame drops. Any time too many explosives go off (2 or 3 grenades or C4) the entire game slows to like 15fps. Whenever there's too many effects/enemies on screen it slows down. If you're in a large area (for example, Arsenal Gear at the top of the first staircase on the right-hand side) the game will slow again to about 20fps. This happens on both the PS3 and Vita versions, maybe more so on the vita but who's surprised. What i'm trying to say is that this game is literally objectively "worse" than the master collection version in a purely gameplay standpoint. The awkward 2-3 second wait every time you get a codec call breaks the immersion every time i switch back to this version and remember how slow it is. Don't get me wrong, this is a more than okay way to play MGS2, in fact it's the one i'd recommend to people looking to play on PC before the MC was released, but this weird ignorance surrounding the master collection makes me think that people that have played ten times less of this game than i have over the years are nit-picking over the stupidest shit to go on another boycott of a corporation cause their lives are so mundane and uninteresting that shitting on literal video games and mediamaxxing all day is the most interesting thought to enter their brain. All the while OWNING this version AND a means to play it. It just really confuses me when people complain about the new port being "lazy" or "lacklustre" cause everything i've played of it seems extremely well done and high quality. More than I was expecting. What could Konami or even Bluepoint have done other than upping the resolution to 1080p or i guess even 4K for those that really care that could have made this collection worth (CHUBBY BEARDED WHITE GUY WITH GLASSES BUZZ WORD ALERT!) sixty dollars?
