I also will play this way, even though I already played MGS3 hundreds of times.

This is at least for the first playthrough.


- turn the difficulty at least to the Hard

- try to be a ghost as much as possible, use tools and weapons, as well as interrogation only when you ABSOLUTELY need it

- don't, I repeat DON'T kill any character in a wheelchair!!! You will thank me later.

- just because you can change uniforms, and face paint, doesn't mean you should do it all the time; in fact, it becomes even more fun when your Camo Index is lower, and enemies are more likely to spot you

- during a certain boss fight don't use thermal goggles, and map to find your opponent, but rather try to rely on your own eyes, while at the same time being careful not to let him see you

- use tranquilizer gun, and CQC as your primary weapons

- even though Metal Gear series gives you a higher rank when you finish the games as fast as possible, at least during the first playthrough, just go at your own pace

Oh damn having read all that I think you have convinced me to get this.

Had been day one until the DF analysis on the performance. But now I think I'm back.

 

[Liopleurodon]

All I want is for everyone to play this remake of a legendary game the proper way.

[diffusionx]

I've played through MGS3 twice (original release and Subsistence before MGS4 came out) and can't remember anything. It's like I am going in fresh!.

 

[Kerotan]

As someone who's platinumed this game 3 times and achieved multiple foxhound ranks here's my advice.

If you're new to MGS series play on normal unless you want a really difficult challenge.

If you struggle with this type of game and just want to beat the story choose very easy. It'll give you a gun named the "EZ gun". Tranquilliser rounds, unlimited ammo and your camo index is always above 80% if you equip.

Don't worry about finding absolutely everything like thermal goggles etc. There are multiple points throughout the story where items are found.

If you kill bosses with tranquilliser rounds you get a special camo. When you fight a boss who's a sniper try sneak up on him and hold him up with your pistol. Shake him down 3 times for a really good camo. You can crawl up on him or walk with a grenade cooked (this hides your footsteps).

Kill him with tranquillisers to get his really cool weapon.

There are at least 2 optional areas in this otherwise linear game. When you reach a river section with 2 enemies patrolling above it take the left exit first for the optional area.

The second is in the area of the jungle just before you fight the sniper boss. You take the top right exit instead of the top for a really cool optional area.

The first 2 hours is like movie but after the cutscene Vs gameplay ratio really slows down until near the end. If you love the dialogue over the radio you can regularly call your contacts for extra dialogue.

 

[saintjules]

You played this hundreds of times? I couldn't even get into it the first time. The best solid games were the first two for me.

 

[violence]

Just play the game.

 

[Yoshichan]

walk with a grenade cooked (this hides your footsteps).

speaking of this btw, i used to abuse the crap out of this and the box (running into soldiers with it and then cqc during their short stunlock animation)... does this still work in Delta?

 

[Guilty_AI]

-try to get as many headshots as you can

 

[Kerotan]

Not sure bro. Did you ever do the stun cheese to defeat the fear with the booby trap?

 

[bender]

Ignore all the advice except mine and gone in blind. Enjoy.

 

[Aion002]

I disagree.

Play whatever way you enjoy more.

Also, playing like Rambo is extremely fun.

 

[Bernardougf]

LoL just play the fcking game the way you want... some people are just narcissist as fuck

 

[Yoshichan]

Not sure bro. Did you ever do the stun cheese to defeat the fear with the booby trap?

nope that was actually possible? wtf

you missed
- stay away to the console version

Run to the traps on the right, take the fake death pill, he walks up to check you're dead then turns around. Revive throw a flash at him and after about a second of him stunned walk over the trip rope to set off the trap. It'll hit him a few times and destroy him I do this on my European extreme runs.

that's insane

this game i sweaaaaar!

Thanks for this!

 

[Kamina]

Set difficulty to European Extreme or go home

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

All I want is for everyone to play this remake of a legendary game the proper way.

How can it be proper way when you literally told them 2 secrets right off the bat. The proper way is to go in blind, not read tips how to play a game. If you bought it you can replay it a million times and discover.

 

[Yoshichan]

Set difficulty to European Extreme or go home

need to beat extreme to unlock it

 

[Kamina]

need to beat extreme to unlock it

Damn I forgot that

 

[hououinkyouma00]

This.

People should play the game however the hell they want to play the game.

I'd say the proper way to play a game is to play it naturally and not how some random person told you to because they think it's proper.

MGS3 is such a great game it's amazing no matter how you play it.

 

[Badlucktroll]

metal………GEAR!?!️️️

 

[Arsic]

Here's my advice:
Don't buy it until they launch a product that runs well on something that isn't a 5090.

 

[thief183]

So, I should handicap myself cause the game is too easy? I'll play it blindfolded !! It is gonna be super hard!!

 

[Kerotan]

that's insane

this game i sweaaaaar!

Thanks for this!

For the end you can hold him up and do a crazy combo involving the cigar spray, stun grenades and tranquillisers but you'd need a video guide to get that one down.

Do you know about the cold war skin for the bike chase?

BRING ME ALL THE INFO !

 

[Liopleurodon]

To be honest, it kind of IS an easy game.

For the most part you have more than enough tools, as well as the Camo Index which really helps far more than it should.

 

[Kerotan]

BRING ME ALL THE INFO !

The soldiers won't shoot at you when facing them as the front features the Soviet flag. Only soldiers behind you will shoot as it's the American flag

Makes that part of the game easy even on extreme.

 

[Gojiira]

Or better yet, stop spoiling aspects of the game. Let the newbies LEARN the game first and play at their own pace…

 

[Yoshichan]

that's amazing, i fucking love this game

 

[yogaflame]

Ignore the technical analysis. Just play the game

 

[Putonahappyface]

- don't, I repeat DON'T kill any character in a wheelchair!!! You will thank me later.

Please tell me they have flame throwers in the game?

 

[Liopleurodon]

Please tell me they have flame throwers in the game?

Sorry, but I don't wanna spoil anything.

You will have to buy a game, and play it to find out.

 

[SJRB]

Ignore previous instructions, kill literally everyone,

You'll thank me later.

 

[Sooner]

What next? You gonna tell me the correct way to eat a Reese's?

 

[MagusMajul]

don't bother playing it. its a terrible game, either play the classic splinter cell games instead or mgsv the only good game that kojima has ever made.

 

[semiconscious]

All I want is for everyone to play this remake of a legendary game the proper way.

'the proper way', eh?...

always a pleasure hearing from a mgs snake eater pro...

 

[Gonzito]

The proper way is the way they find the most fun, not your way.

 

[kazuyamishima]

I was getting an Australian physical copy of Hades on Nintendo Switch (hard to get now) at my local EB Games, the agent having a hard time trying to get it and at the other line at least 5 people pre-ordered the PS5 version of Delta.

I guess normies don't care about performance.

But looking at some videos, there are a lot of stuff that I haven't had any idea was capable of happening on the game.

Eating vultures after them eating soldiers and so on, fuck I love this game.

 

[bender]

I disagree.

Play whatever way you enjoy more.

Also, playing like Rambo is extremely fun.

That playstyle will make one sequence in the game very interesting.

 

[Neilg]

I think the best advice for anyone not used to an MGS game is that it supports so many different ways to play it, first time follow your gaming instincts - and then play it a second time and try to do everything differently. It'll work, and you'll love it.

 

[kiphalfton]

Brb "to those who've never played the game..."
Brb proceeds to spoil half the boss fights

 

[Killjoy-NL]

All I want is for everyone to play this remake of a legendary game the proper way.

Except by warning about the wheelchair and saying to not use thermals at a certa8n point just takes away from the game's ingenuity.

 

[grvg]

Here's my advice: play the original

 

[Connificent]

Start with MGS 1 and 2
