I genuinely don't see the hate for this game. Outside of the voice acting and music, this remake is an improvement over the original in every way. Controls, framerate, weapons, utility, visibility, and everything great about MGS2 has been put into the original. It feels like one of those remakes where people hate it because all the MGS boomers told them to hate it. Yet everyone I know who's completely finished the game in its entirety liked it a lot or loved it. Give it an honest shot. You'd be surprised by how fun the gameplay is.
