Great tips! My couple of tips to go off a couple of yours: 1. Find the suppressor for the socom pistol. It will definitely help to take enemies out at a distance without risking detection. (Hint: Tank hanger after first boss fight) 2. When going up to an enemy to perform a CQC action, be cautious not to unintentionally touch them before performing the action, to avoid an alert phase (very common mistake I’ve seen, and one I struggled with myself). Find the sweet spot and allow Snake to magnetize himself to the enemy’s back when you press the command.
I think one of the most important tips, like he said, is USE YOUR CODEC! Be sure to listen to the full conversations and not skip any cutscenes or codec calls, as the codec is there not only to nudge you in the right direction, but provide combat tips and help with every little thing.
I wanna add to that "sweet spot" concept. If you're unsure whether or not you're there, punch them a couple of times because that will get Snake just a bit closer to them, which means you can grab them much more consistently. It's what speedrunners do.

@wunder4402 Just playing the game in general, never took accountability for his own shortcomings, and basically blamed everyone and everything but himself. Oh yeah, and the first words he said when about to fight The End in MGS3 was, "Where's my shotgun?"
@@knatknihtThere is over a decade full of things to shit on him for, but in terms of MGS he's most famous for not being able to figure out how to use rations for the first few hours of MGS2
1. A kinda fun trick that I always loved is after you acquire the Bandana, fire your FAMAS down to the last 3 bullets, which are tracer rounds. Then equip the Bandana and all your rounds will be tracer rounds, giving you a Star Wars blaster feel. Especially fun for the Comms Tower shootout. 2. When fighting Psycho Mantis bring up the special Pause menu (R1+L1 or RB+LB) and switch your controller to slot 2 so he can't read your moves. 3. Chase Meryl into the bathroom fast enough to see the cutscene with her in her undies. 4. When you have both the Bandana and the Stealth Camo, on a 3rd+ playthrough do not use either one until Grey Fox appears and he will have a red cybersuit. 5. Equip the cigarettes before calling people on the CODEC to get reprimanded about smoking. Also, call Mei Ling repeatedly but don't save for a cute Easter egg.
A tip I'll give a newcomer is to stockpile stun grenades so you have enough to use to get to the roof of the Comms Tower. That's the easiest and fastest way to clear the area instead of unloading with the FAMAS.
Wow pretty solid tipps nice job💯 To make the elevator move faster press the button twice For fast travel jump on the back of a truck and put a box on. Wait for about 7 seconds and the truck will take you to the place thats written on your box. In case someone wants to speedrun😅
My tips are as follows: 1. Save, save save! If you get the feeling things are about to ramp up don't take chances, call Mei Ling and save your game. 2: Thermal Goggles. The thermal goggles are possibly the most useful item in the entire game. You will need to explore the second floor of the Tank Hanger to find them but you should be able to locate them without too much issue, it's absolutely worth it to get them as soon as possible and will make lots of the harder parts easier to deal with. 3. Use your codec. If you're lost, confused on what to do next, or having trouble with a boss fight call your support team. Colonel, Master, and Otacon tend to be the ones with the most helpful advice. 4. Think outside the box. Metal Gear Solid is a game that often affords you several options to solve problems. If you're current idea isn't working try a different approach. 5. Explore the area. You'll find lots of optional yet helpful items if you take some time to explore your environment. A suppressor for your pistol, night vision goggles, some cold medicine, you never know what you might find.
1. Alternatively, keep calling her without saving. Mei Ling gets mad. xD On serious note there's one place in the game CONTINUE doesn't work so saving is needed. Less continues in general the higher your rank so SAVE. 2. TBH, you miss a bunch of lore on smoking and mine detector if you replace them with thermals... And equipping cigs to pass lasers and calling Nastasha is top MGS moment! 3. 141.52 is her frequency. Call it. EVERY item or weapon in the game has her fawning over tech including fixation on Stingers same way modern day Ukrainians who name their cats Javelin or Bayraktar have on new weapons. 4. Actually, think INSIDE the box! There's many things you can do with four pieces of cardboard, though their main use is fast travel and hiding. 5. IIRC the two medicines ingame are Diazepam, which you pop to steady your aim for sniper rifle, and whatever it's called which you might use to avoid sneezing after spending some times shirtless.
I had gotten mgs4 back in the day with ky ps3, loved it, tried 1, hated it n gave up quick. Friend got me the collection so I'm giving it an honest try this time. Thanks for the tips
1. Do the bad end first. Give up during torture this locks you into that. This gives you Stealth item on New Game+, which is THE best way to learn enemy behaviors and can trivialize the next playthrough if you want to get the other ending. Plus, the banter in bad end is just better, more character development between Snake and Otacon. 2. Actually play the VR missions DISC, or on PC, separate mode. It lets you learn using every weapon type and lots of moves in multiple situations with only stake being your high score in mini-missions. Plus, there's three (tiny) ninja levels (in the same room but hey). 3. Backtrack to B2 and B1 floors once you get new card level, it combines with their tip 7, though on first playthrough missing the thermal googles when going to find Merryl might give you a better experience, having to use cigs for lasers and mine detector for the minefield. 4. Experiment with weapons for later bosses. Second fights with Vulcan Raven and Sniper Wolf have tons of ways to defeat them, not just the logical weapons, Stinger AND Nikita missiles work, in addition to sniper rifle, landmines and whatnot. 5. Call people on codec whenever you feel like, and when you think situation is unusual. I.e. in restrooms or any new area in general. They often have humorous responses to a lot of things, and MGS1 has the most (and arguably, the best) team of contacts. 6. Also find Nastasha Romanenko, Colonel gives you her codec code 141.52. She's ENTIRELY optional, but has comments on EVERY item and weapon in the game. If Campbell is good for where you need to go to advance the story, and Ocelot gives you lore, she is the best one to call for gameplay. 7. Screw around with stuff. Best part of Metal Gear is "devs thought of everything" situation, applies to all games. Try shooting rats or punching Merryl, using cardboard box near wolves etc., camera abuse is nice too. You aren't really getting the full MGS experience if you just do obligatory gameplay stuff, though any playstyle is valid, you're missing out. 8. Crawling into vents, look down to see Meryll working out. Go ALL the way back to previous room, climb back in, and see her do another exercise. Do that multiple times. Related to that, ladies room? Don't look around, just blast through to the end. Enjoy the polygons! 9. You can cook grenades. Careful they do explode in your hands and YES, even chaff and stun grenades WILL hurt you if exploded that way. 10. PC version is on GOG, it's actually a proper port and not emulated. I like it for collection and I just love having games that don't have polygon wobble. Though it needs fan patches to fix low quality sound in originals.
There will definitely be a ton of new players once the collection releases. If I can help avoid even just a few headaches due to the dated controls, I'm happy to do so!
A very useful technique to learn is the "Stagger Punch". Space out your button tappings when doing the punch-punch-kick combo so that you pause until the punch animation is almost complete for the second punch then do another punch-punch. If you're really good, you can even stagger it out to spam your first "punch" over and over. This technique will make the Melee fight with Liquid near the end a lot easier as you can stun lock him.
I used that technique as a kid against liquid and just beat the game last night and remembered it again. Very useful if you can get 6-8 punches in like that
Started playing the series with MGS2 when I got a PS2 bundel with MGS2 included. I played all the games that came out after, but never played the original MGS1 or Twin Snakes. So this is going to be great fun for me!
I bought Twin Snakes back in the day because i was impressed with MGS on a demo disc my friend had. Looking forward to finally playing the definitive original PS1 version!
Right mgs1 is the best toe not cus of the graphics just the story liquid snake it'll put all the pieces together in a way if you played all the other ones 💥💥💥
Yeah it doesn't get stressed enough DESPITE game literally forcing you into a cutscene where Snake does just that in the very first area after the opening roll.
Played through MGS 1 all the way to the end with the final fight against Metal Gear, only for my PS3 to freeze and brick completely. Was able to get a new one, but my save of MGS 1 was completely gone. Hoping with the master collection I can finally finish this game, especially with some of the tips shown here.
It's a very short game WHEN YOU KNOW what to do next (instead of stuck searching for Meryl's number for weeks) so anyone who dropped it, give it another go!
I played originall mgs on my pc. It was pain to play, I gave up after second volcan raven fight, some people say I survivived quite long. I couldn't play any other mgs game because I don't have play station. This video was very helpfull, I can't wait to play master collection. Thank you for advice and keep going!
You made it quite far to be honest! What were the main problems you faced? Was it just a matter of the controls and camera feeling outdated? I hope you decide to give it another shot along with the rest of the series! I'm glad you found the video helpful!
@@PerfectStealth I didn't mind camera movement at all, I think it matches mgs gameplay very well, however the controlls were the thing that pushed me from the game the most. I was playing pn normal, I died a lot but I like hard games. When I got to second encounter with sniper wolf I couldn't shoot her because my scope would rest all the time. Eventually I defeated her with Nikita. Also at first saving was problematic. I was used to saving manually via pause menu, mainly because of my former half life experience and I'm sure I'm not only one who did that.I hope master collection won't dissapoint me and I will enjoy this legendary franchise.
Tip for new player: When Cyborg Ninja is at a sliver of health and screaming with an electric aura around him it is okay to shoot him I made the mistake of not knowing and died at the very end and had to start the fight over
If you do this for 3, you should totally cover the camo index. It took me a long time to understand it back when I was a kid. Especially since it functioned differently in online mode.
@@PerfectStealthI had a decent idea of camonindex from peace walker. But after you unlock sneaking suit then play peacewlker to the ground. By the time I played 3 I was like uhhhhb what’s this shit again?
My tip would be to use the throw as much as you can and realize it doesn't break stealth (Just dont bump into them, that timing is important). You don't have to kill or knock them out, instead just throw and run away. Its more like aggressive stealth techniques. You can run, throw, and keep running and the guard wont sent off the alarm even through he was attacked. This saved my ass so many times when I was getting pinned by two guards. Instead of trying to shoot your way out, just bum rush them from behind, throw, and get out of there.
I beat this game when I was 13 years old in 2001, you’ll be fine if u start without doing VR, hell some of those vr missions are harder than anything you’ll run into on normal mode in the campaign.
I think the difficulty is why in MGS2 you hear Raiden pridefully saying "I completed all levels of VR training" to which Campbell says "This mission will be nothing like your VR training"
A good tip is IF you have to go back to the initial section for some reason later in the game... get in the truck with your cardboard box A, they'll drive you to the heliport. If you need to go back? Cardboard Box B in the truck on the heliport. Sometimes this game will put random traps on places there were none a few minutes ago... Also, some floors make noise. Bypass this by spamming equip and unequip on your weapon and you will glide through them at full speed with no sound. If you happen to encounter angry animals later on... they're very defensive of people they love. If you happen to see them care about someone a little more than you, maybe punch that person and equip your box. They might choose to pee on your box making you smell like them and removing their agression towards an outsider
I just started playing the Legacy Collection on PS3 recently, and here is a tip in case you need it. You can destroy cameras with the stinger missles...I found that out by accident because I ran out of Chaff grenades after the Hind D battle. Neat tip if you don't have the chaff option 🙂. Great video!
After meeting someone in the codec and having a lengthy conversation save your game, otherwise if you die the game will not remember the conversation. I've seen a lot of people completely ignore certain characters because they don't appear in the Codec drop down menu, because of untimely deaths.
Two people you need to call yourself: 141.52 Nastasha, a weapons and items expert for gameplay tips and lore, and 140.15 - Merryl, to progress the story.
I think a good tip for 1 and 2 is to use your map to get intel on the enemy's vision and their walking patterns. That way you know what kind of movement you can get away with to slip past them. If there is no map, check your corners and wall peek everything
Im so excited to play the solids again! Im also very hyped even not canon the nes versions and I believe the canon msx versions are here to! Collecting the dog tags is gonna be fun to attempt again lol
It's also possible in MGS2 tho buttons get weirder. On PC, you want a fan patch to move while aiming in first person there. The worst part of Metal Gear controls is aiming weirdness that later relied on pressure sensitive PS2/3 gamepads.
@KasumiR I preferred the MGS2 method, but the original method also worked. I also liked the pressure sensitive controls on PS2. They had a natural feel which was lost on the Xbox 360 release of the HD collection
My favorite tips are the rapid reload, the elevator trick, using the box to quickly travel around the map, and sneaking up behind an enemy and strapping C4 to his back so I can detonate it while he's next to another soldier.
i would tell them that they should equip and unequip a weapon when walking on terrain that makes a loud noise so snakes walking animation gets reset not causing any sound at all.
Also with the famas, you can start by pressing the duck button then while ducking press the duck button a second time but hold on to the button. Now you can run and shoot the famas while holding the duck button.
Thanks a lot for this man. I just a bought a PS1 literally yesterday of ebay to play Metal Gear Solid 1 and got my ass handed to me in the first screen. I am new to the franchise and playing for the first time. I am loving presentation and voice acting but I couldn't even clear the first encounter
For the Master Collection my personal tip would be to press triangle twice to go into first person view when fighting The Ninja when he uses his stealth suit. Makes it easier to find him.
I came to check this video just because of nostalgia I have played Mgs 1 about +-15 one hundred times but Mgs 2 about 200 times then Mgs3 less than 50 times (I find this with last missions the hardest also) then Mgs 4 about 80 times and mgs 5 phantom pain is STILL on progress even when I have had since ps4 and now playing it again with ps5 but it feels most not mgs but I don’t recall that “MGS survive” even as a part of the series but Phantom pain feels still good but has missing something but now I will finally finish that playthrough before Mgs Delta comes and saman I wish Konami will not destroy a remake which has huge potential as a remake. But thanks for the video I agree with you 100% with you😊👍👍👍👍💯. I hope collection vol.2 includes peace walker and guns of the patriots and guns of the patriots deserve same kind remake as snake eater (my opinion). :)
My first memories of games are of my dad white knuckling through this when I was 4 or 5 and watching him. And then me forcing myself through on easy by the time I was 7 or 8 I’d say I love this game 😢
i think im the only person that has beaten the mgs 1 ( nomal dif ) and mgs 2 ( nomal dif ) on pc with only keybords😂😂 i dont have console and i dont have plastion hands ( because i dont have money ) but it was a hard journey and i have to use my brain all the time and remeber the boss moves to defeat them now im gonna play mgs 3 but it wont open and idk why ?😢
a tip i would give anyone is this. when you are running on noisy platforms, rapidly equip and unequip any weapon, i use the Socom, while moving. this negates the noise you make on those platforms, making it so the enemies cannot hear you.
1. Take a moment to observe guard movements 2. If a boss has a vision cone, they have a blind spot to exploit 3. If there are claymore mines, collect them! They are extremely useful in one of the later boss battles 4. If you want to have some fun, plant c4 on a guard
The master collection was my 1st time playing mgs 1, i finished it in 9 hours on normal difficulty, without the body armor and the thermal vision, it was hard because i was so used to my first mgs, mgs 5
9 месяцев назад
First played MGS1 24 years ago, didn't know about moving/shooting until now. The game never tells you and didn't have access to the internet back then.
@@PerfectStealth I'm thinking more of the stealth mechanics with them. People always talk about their functions like transportation but I rarely see any gameplay of people actually sneaking around in the boxes.
@@TBrizzle01 basically, if they're in the way of guards patrol, they will knock them over, and if they're on alert, they will check them out. Otherwise, boxes are great to avoid being seen. AS in, you move into area then STOP when enemy or camera passes by and you're within their field of vision, then move again. This is actually how first box (in original MSX Metal Gear) was used. TO move through area that doesn't have a way to walk around the camera (they move in a line there).
About new player tips, remember you don’t have to kill or knockout every enemy you run into. Sometimes Ghosting and just moving past everyone’s a smarter option
Personally i would recommend only reading the masterbook after youve played through at least once. To me, the best part of Kojima magic is discovering some of those little tidbits yourself
One of the most frustrating things is that it is really easy to accidentally throw enemies instead of choking them if you don't let off the direction controls early enough in a tight spot :D It happens to me all the time even though I know the mechanic as it is easy to mess up in a heated situation :D
Don't forget the SOCOM (mk. 23/USP) In the back of the truck at the Heliport, also the SOCOM suppressor is in the 2nd floor north(?)east section of the Tank Hangar. The room with the weird boxes. And AHAHA HOLY FUCK I just got to that point in the video. Great operators think alike
Oh and for my tip, after getting the Infinite Ammo Bandana from the good end, in subsequent playthroughs equip the bandana when using the FAMAS only when you hit the last three bullets so you get infinite tracer rounds. How is this useful? It isn't. I just think it looks cool. 😎
My advice for playing MGS is: let the Game take you away from Real Life for the U Play IT and enjoy one of the best Games ever, i Loved it as child and i still Love IT today. And If it is Ur First time U will See ITS a masterpice
I just played through MGS1 for the first time. Though I am a long time MGS fan now, my first experience was Twin Snakes when it came out. There’s definitely some changes. Avoiding alert wasn’t the biggest deal once I got used to moving around again, but some of the bosses were a bit obnoxious. Ocelot in particular. I definitely still prefer Twin Snakes, but I did enjoy this game.
TIP: During the torture sequence, don't use your thumb to mash the button. Use the knuckle of your finger instead, especially if you're playing on hard or extreme!
"Beginner's must start with easy mode." "And also try doing the vr training to learn the controls." Welp, i did the opposite and now im fighting psycomantis. Wished i would've known sooner.
1:47 as a new fan playing through the series for the first time i don't agree with this sentiment, i find MGS3 on Normal to be way harder than 2 and 1 on Normal because of how intricate guards Ai are they can look up and down etc. But hey to each their own
I seem to remember a mechanic where choking out a soldier without them having been alerted made it more likely they would drop an item... Am I misremembering? Or was that a thing in MGS2?
I'm playing MGS1 for the first time now that the master collection is out and I'm currently stuck in the second Vulcan fight (playing in Normal mode). Any advice? 😭
Yea true. I have a piece of paper that has the briefings videos in order. When I was a kid I sat and watch the ending times of each tape and wrote them all down in order. Still have the original piece of paper in my mgs1 case
The game already has a built in fail safe for this, and just requires you to die once, and you can have a codec conversation that says “Is there some reason you can’t use controller port 2?, if that’s the case do this”.
It’s the Megadeth shirt for me>
Came to say the same thing
I also came to say the same thing

That's exactly what I did!!!!
me too
That's what I did, I spammed stun Grenades, one of the best ways to go up the stairs
This was the exact move I did, when the screen would go full white from the flash I would rely on muscle memory to climb the steps without seeing
Wow pretty solid tipps nice job💯
To make the elevator move faster press the button twice
For fast travel jump on the back of a truck and put a box on. Wait for about 7 seconds and the truck will take you to the place thats written on your box. In case someone wants to speedrun😅
My tips are as follows:
1. Save, save save! If you get the feeling things are about to ramp up don't take chances, call Mei Ling and save your game.
2: Thermal Goggles. The thermal goggles are possibly the most useful item in the entire game. You will need to explore the second floor of the Tank Hanger to find them but you should be able to locate them without too much issue, it's absolutely worth it to get them as soon as possible and will make lots of the harder parts easier to deal with.

How can you get lost in a 3 hour game???
@@gunsharck trust me, for people who have never played this it's quite easy to get lost or not know what to do next.
Or think in the Box A,B,C
1. Alternatively, keep calling her without saving. Mei Ling gets mad. xD On serious note there's one place in the game CONTINUE doesn't work so saving is needed. Less continues in general the higher your rank so SAVE.
2. TBH, you miss a bunch of lore on smoking and mine detector if you replace them with thermals... And equipping cigs to pass lasers and calling Nastasha is top MGS moment!
3. 141.52 is her frequency. Call it. EVERY item or weapon in the game has her fawning over tech including fixation on Stingers same way modern day Ukrainians who name their cats Javelin or Bayraktar have on new weapons.

The box is your BEST FRIEND. Just make sure not to stop in a guard’s patrol path, or they’ll kick over the box and discover you
1. Do the bad end first. Give up during torture this locks you into that. This gives you Stealth item on New Game+, which is THE best way to learn enemy behaviors and can trivialize the next playthrough if you want to get the other ending.

3. Backtrack to B2 and B1 floors once you get new card level, it combines with their tip 7, though on first playthrough missing the thermal googles when going to find Merryl might give you a better experience, having to use cigs for lasers and mine detector for the minefield.
4. Experiment with weapons for later bosses. Second fights with Vulcan Raven and Sniper Wolf have tons of ways to defeat them, not just the logical weapons, Stinger AND Nikita missiles work, in addition to sniper rifle, landmines and whatnot.

7. Screw around with stuff. Best part of Metal Gear is "devs thought of everything" situation, applies to all games. Try shooting rats or punching Merryl, using cardboard box near wolves etc., camera abuse is nice too. You aren't really getting the full MGS experience if you just do obligatory gameplay stuff, though any playstyle is valid, you're missing out.
8. Crawling into vents, look down to see Meryll working out. Go ALL the way back to previous room, climb back in, and see her do another exercise. Do that multiple times. Related to that, ladies room? Don't look around, just blast through to the end. Enjoy the polygons!

Feels weird watching this as someone who played through msg1 on the ps1 multiple times, but its nice to show the "new" fanbase this game

I hope you enjoy METAL GEAR SOLID! It’s a great game. I wish I could experience it for the first time again.
You are in for a treat. Mgs1 is the best one
I bought Twin Snakes back in the day because i was impressed with MGS on a demo disc my friend had.
Looking forward to finally playing the definitive original PS1 version!
Right mgs1 is the best toe not cus of the graphics just the story liquid snake it'll put all the pieces together in a way if you played all the other ones 💥💥💥
A tip I would add is: (for your first run) take your time and use FPV to watch enemy patrols.
That’s a great tip!
Yeah it doesn't get stressed enough DESPITE game literally forcing you into a cutscene where Snake does just that in the very first area after the opening roll.
the body armor also appears at the blast furnace in case you didnt pick it up at the gas filled room
and at the corridor with gazillion cameras on the upper right*
5:33 A tip I would give to a new player would be to make sure to follow behind Meryl closely after she spots you and runs into the bathroom.
Played through MGS 1 all the way to the end with the final fight against Metal Gear, only for my PS3 to freeze and brick completely. Was able to get a new one, but my save of MGS 1 was completely gone. Hoping with the master collection I can finally finish this game, especially with some of the tips shown here.
Spoiler: Rex isn't your last battle. But you'll enjoy it.
It's a very short game WHEN YOU KNOW what to do next (instead of stuck searching for Meryl's number for weeks) so anyone who dropped it, give it another go!
@@KasumiRINA
Meryl's number doesn't get saved?
I played originall mgs on my pc. It was pain to play, I gave up after second volcan raven fight, some people say I survivived quite long. I couldn't play any other mgs game because I don't have play station. This video was very helpfull, I can't wait to play master collection. Thank you for advice and keep going!
You made it quite far to be honest! What were the main problems you faced? Was it just a matter of the controls and camera feeling outdated? I hope you decide to give it another shot along with the rest of the series! I'm glad you found the video helpful!
@@PerfectStealth I didn't mind camera movement at all, I think it matches mgs gameplay very well, however the controlls were the thing that pushed me from the game the most. I was playing pn normal, I died a lot but I like hard games. When I got to second encounter with sniper wolf I couldn't shoot her because my scope would rest all the time. Eventually I defeated her with Nikita. Also at first saving was problematic. I was used to saving manually via pause menu, mainly because of my former half life experience and I'm sure I'm not only one who did that.I hope master collection won't dissapoint me and I will enjoy this legendary franchise.
@@f8pie there's an item in the game, Diazepam, it's pills you use from inventory, they help with aiming a lot.
Tip for new player: When Cyborg Ninja is at a sliver of health and screaming with an electric aura around him it is okay to shoot him
I made the mistake of not knowing and died at the very end and had to start the fight over
I went through this but instead of shooting I punched him, shit was still hard tho.
Lol you used darksydephil as an example😂😂😂 nicely done 👍👍
I love this series but I suck at MGS1 so this is very helpful
Thanks for watching!
If you do this for 3, you should totally cover the camo index. It took me a long time to understand it back when I was a kid. Especially since it functioned differently in online mode.
That’s a good idea!
@@PerfectStealthI had a decent idea of camonindex from peace walker. But after you unlock sneaking suit then play peacewlker to the ground. By the time I played 3 I was like uhhhhb what’s this shit again?
My tip would be to use the throw as much as you can and realize it doesn't break stealth (Just dont bump into them, that timing is important). You don't have to kill or knock them out, instead just throw and run away. Its more like aggressive stealth techniques. You can run, throw, and keep running and the guard wont sent off the alarm even through he was attacked. This saved my ass so many times when I was getting pinned by two guards. Instead of trying to shoot your way out, just bum rush them from behind, throw, and get out of there.
I beat this game when I was 13 years old in 2001, you’ll be fine if u start without doing VR, hell some of those vr missions are harder than anything you’ll run into on normal mode in the campaign.
I think the difficulty is why in MGS2 you hear Raiden pridefully saying "I completed all levels of VR training" to which Campbell says "This mission will be nothing like your VR training"
A good tip is IF you have to go back to the initial section for some reason later in the game... get in the truck with your cardboard box A, they'll drive you to the heliport. If you need to go back? Cardboard Box B in the truck on the heliport. Sometimes this game will put random traps on places there were none a few minutes ago...
Also, some floors make noise. Bypass this by spamming equip and unequip on your weapon and you will glide through them at full speed with no sound.
If you happen to encounter angry animals later on... they're very defensive of people they love. If you happen to see them care about someone a little more than you, maybe punch that person and equip your box. They might choose to pee on your box making you smell like them and removing their agression towards an outsider
I just started playing the Legacy Collection on PS3 recently, and here is a tip in case you need it. You can destroy cameras with the stinger missles...I found that out by accident because I ran out of Chaff grenades after the Hind D battle. Neat tip if you don't have the chaff option 🙂. Great video!
New subscriber! Great coverage!
After meeting someone in the codec and having a lengthy conversation save your game, otherwise if you die the game will not remember the conversation. I've seen a lot of people completely ignore certain characters because they don't appear in the Codec drop down menu, because of untimely deaths.
Good thinking!
Two people you need to call yourself: 141.52 Nastasha, a weapons and items expert for gameplay tips and lore, and 140.15 - Merryl, to progress the story.
I beat it in elementary or middle school, can't wait to play it again
I think a good tip for 1 and 2 is to use your map to get intel on the enemy's vision and their walking patterns. That way you know what kind of movement you can get away with to slip past them. If there is no map, check your corners and wall peek everything
Great video!
Im getting into MGS for the first time after only playing Rising so far, TYSM!
I am replaying MGS in the ps3 since it works, but still buying the game. I'm mainly doing this to touch up my skills.
Appreciate you watching and leaving a comment! I hope your replay of MGS1 goes well!
Did I know most of tjese? Yes. Did I watch anyways cuz I love mgs? Also yes 😂
Thanks for watching!
Haha same
Im so excited to play the solids again! Im also very hyped even not canon the nes versions and I believe the canon msx versions are here to! Collecting the dog tags is gonna be fun to attempt again lol
best tip i can give, is don`t rush the game.
Thank you so much!
I'd totally forgotten the basic CQC - and had no idea the chaff, anim cancel existed.
Eleven years of experience with this game, and I had no idea about #4! Thanks for making my fight with Ocelot that much easier!
Glad you were able to learn something new! Thank you for watching!
It's also possible in MGS2 tho buttons get weirder. On PC, you want a fan patch to move while aiming in first person there. The worst part of Metal Gear controls is aiming weirdness that later relied on pressure sensitive PS2/3 gamepads.
It was relegated to a small section in the original game manual, very easy to miss
@KasumiR I preferred the MGS2 method, but the original method also worked.
I also liked the pressure sensitive controls on PS2. They had a natural feel which was lost on the Xbox 360 release of the HD collection
My favorite tips are the rapid reload, the elevator trick, using the box to quickly travel around the map, and sneaking up behind an enemy and strapping C4 to his back so I can detonate it while he's next to another soldier.
Thanks for the tips gonna help a lot for a second play through
Friendly Tip: In the Blast Furnace destroy the crane with a Nikita or Stinger Missile so u can get to the other side easier...
thank you for tip 4, i never knew about that one. XD ive played this game so many times and i cant believe i never figured that one out lol
You’re welcome! Glad you learned something new!
i would tell them that they should equip and unequip a weapon when walking on terrain that makes a loud noise so snakes walking animation gets reset not causing any sound at all.
Thanks dude!
I didn't know you can use the Stinger to get rid of cameras! Would've save me a bunch of rations
Also with the famas, you can start by pressing the duck button then while ducking press the duck button a second time but hold on to the button. Now you can run and shoot the famas while holding the duck button.
Thanks a lot for this man. I just a bought a PS1 literally yesterday of ebay to play Metal Gear Solid 1 and got my ass handed to me in the first screen. I am new to the franchise and playing for the first time. I am loving presentation and voice acting but I couldn't even clear the first encounter
Im on "disc 2" and im just learning about slaming enemies. (This is my third playthrough btw)
If you keep tapping r1 to requip your weapon whilst walking it makes your footsteps silent to the enemy
For the Master Collection my personal tip would be to press triangle twice to go into first person view when fighting The Ninja when he uses his stealth suit. Makes it easier to find him.
I came to check this video just because of nostalgia I have played Mgs 1 about +-15 one hundred times but Mgs 2 about 200 times then Mgs3 less than 50 times (I find this with last missions the hardest also) then Mgs 4 about 80 times and mgs 5 phantom pain is STILL on progress even when I have had since ps4 and now playing it again with ps5 but it feels most not mgs but I don’t recall that “MGS survive” even as a part of the series but Phantom pain feels still good but has missing something but now I will finally finish that playthrough before Mgs Delta comes and saman I wish Konami will not destroy a remake which has huge potential as a remake. But thanks for the video I agree with you 100% with you😊👍👍👍👍💯. I hope collection vol.2 includes peace walker and guns of the patriots and guns of the patriots deserve same kind remake as snake eater (my opinion). :)
This video showed me how to save the game thank you so much 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Some young adults today never heard of Metal Gear but heard of Halo. Crazy.
I heard it the first time on a RUclips channel i love so i gave it a try and now im obsessed with the series
Just play the game is my advice. Or have an older brother that showed you it from a young age!
My first memories of games are of my dad white knuckling through this when I was 4 or 5 and watching him. And then me forcing myself through on easy by the time I was 7 or 8 I’d say I love this game 😢
I swear that's how I fell in love with this franchise. Watching my older brother.😊
i think im the only person that has beaten the mgs 1 ( nomal dif ) and mgs 2 ( nomal dif ) on pc with only keybords😂😂 i dont have console and i dont have plastion hands ( because i dont have money ) but it was a hard journey and i have to use my brain all the time and remeber the boss moves to defeat them
now im gonna play mgs 3 but it wont open and idk why ?😢
This is the exact video i needed. I accuratelly committed every noob mistake you listed lol
a tip i would give anyone is this. when you are running on noisy platforms, rapidly equip and unequip any weapon, i use the Socom, while moving. this negates the noise you make on those platforms, making it so the enemies cannot hear you.
1. Take a moment to observe guard movements
2. If a boss has a vision cone, they have a blind spot to exploit
3. If there are claymore mines, collect them! They are extremely useful in one of the later boss battles
4. If you want to have some fun, plant c4 on a guard
The master collection was my 1st time playing mgs 1, i finished it in 9 hours on normal difficulty, without the body armor and the thermal vision, it was hard because i was so used to my first mgs, mgs 5
First played MGS1 24 years ago, didn't know about moving/shooting until now. The game never tells you and didn't have access to the internet back then.
I played Metal Gear when it first came out on PS. Had no clue you could walk while shooting
Do you think you can cover the boxes? Aside from transportation, I never actually used it for sneaking. I never really thought about this until now.
Boxes and what they do in each of the games is definitely something I want to cover in either a future long form video or a Short.
@@PerfectStealth I'm thinking more of the stealth mechanics with them. People always talk about their functions like transportation but I rarely see any gameplay of people actually sneaking around in the boxes.
@@TBrizzle01 basically, if they're in the way of guards patrol, they will knock them over, and if they're on alert, they will check them out. Otherwise, boxes are great to avoid being seen. AS in, you move into area then STOP when enemy or camera passes by and you're within their field of vision, then move again. This is actually how first box (in original MSX Metal Gear) was used. TO move through area that doesn't have a way to walk around the camera (they move in a line there).
When snake is sick, you can avoid sneezing and alerting enemies by using one of the cardboard boxes, snake wont sneeze while its equipped
I think you hit 10k subscribers congratulations 🥳
Thank you!
About new player tips, remember you don’t have to kill or knockout every enemy you run into. Sometimes Ghosting and just moving past everyone’s a smarter option
KNOCK THE WALLS
Also Google Mgs ps1 case Photo especially backside of that disc case
What is the difference from the GOG PC version?
Personally i would recommend only reading the masterbook after youve played through at least once. To me, the best part of Kojima magic is discovering some of those little tidbits yourself
One of the most frustrating things is that it is really easy to accidentally throw enemies instead of choking them if you don't let off the direction controls early enough in a tight spot :D It happens to me all the time even though I know the mechanic as it is easy to mess up in a heated situation :D
Tip 4: pretty sure I fell under that category. Lol thank you sir
After many many years of playing I discovered you can use the Nikkita missile launcher when fighting sniperwolf.
Don't forget the SOCOM (mk. 23/USP) In the back of the truck at the Heliport, also the SOCOM suppressor is in the 2nd floor north(?)east section of the Tank Hangar. The room with the weird boxes.
And AHAHA HOLY FUCK I just got to that point in the video.
Great operators think alike
The DSP clips killed me.
There is a room in the game where you are not allowed to us guns, but you can still use the sniper rifle before crawling into the room
Oh and for my tip, after getting the Infinite Ammo Bandana from the good end, in subsequent playthroughs equip the bandana when using the FAMAS only when you hit the last three bullets so you get infinite tracer rounds.
How is this useful? It isn't. I just think it looks cool. 😎
My advice for playing MGS is: let the Game take you away from Real Life for the U Play IT and enjoy one of the best Games ever, i Loved it as child and i still Love IT today. And If it is Ur First time U will See ITS a masterpice
If lost or stumped call everybody on the codec.
I prefer the Raiden cut:
1. VR Missions
2. MGS 2
3. MGS4
4: MGR
I just played through MGS1 for the first time. Though I am a long time MGS fan now, my first experience was Twin Snakes when it came out.
There’s definitely some changes. Avoiding alert wasn’t the biggest deal once I got used to moving around again, but some of the bosses were a bit obnoxious. Ocelot in particular.
I definitely still prefer Twin Snakes, but I did enjoy this game.
Ocelot fight is either all timing with standing shooting or mastering the running and shooting mechanic to overwhelm him
I forgot about the run and gun thanks
After a long time, I decided to choose hard for the old times sake, I’m starting to regret it..
I like people recommending easier difficulties for hard games. No stupid gatekeeping
Thank you!!
lol You used DSP's footage of MGS 1.
TIP: During the torture sequence, don't use your thumb to mash the button. Use the knuckle of your finger instead, especially if you're playing on hard or extreme!
Haha it’s that or the old pen trick. 😂
Or just play Integral and skip the 4th sequence on any difficulty.
Played since I had the ps1 or msx console
"Beginner's must start with easy mode."
"And also try doing the vr training to learn the controls."
Welp, i did the opposite and now im fighting psycomantis. Wished i would've known sooner.
That digital book was also available on PS3 when the 4th game came out. It's not new :)
I played through the entirety of mgs1 last week without knowing you can run and shoot at the same time lol
1:47 as a new fan playing through the series for the first time i don't agree with this sentiment, i find MGS3 on Normal to be way harder than 2 and 1 on Normal because of how intricate guards Ai are they can look up and down etc. But hey to each their own
I seem to remember a mechanic where choking out a soldier without them having been alerted made it more likely they would drop an item... Am I misremembering? Or was that a thing in MGS2?
I'm playing MGS1 for the first time now that the master collection is out and I'm currently stuck in the second Vulcan fight (playing in Normal mode). Any advice? 😭
It would be awesome if the mechanics were explained for those using keyboard only.
I always found the first metal gear solid game to be the easiest. I also played the game a crap ton as a kid so that might be why.
I downloaded integral bc it’s my first play through of this game and on very easy it gives you a unlimited ammo mp5 😂
You talk about codec and VR, but not Briefing?!
These tips were mostly gameplay focused but Briefing is definitely important for a new player to check out I agree.
Yea true.
I have a piece of paper that has the briefings videos in order.
When I was a kid I sat and watch the ending times of each tape and wrote them all down in order. Still have the original piece of paper in my mgs1 case
DSP in the background lmmaooo
My question is how is controller port 2 going to work?
The game already has a built in fail safe for this, and just requires you to die once, and you can have a codec conversation that says “Is there some reason you can’t use controller port 2?, if that’s the case do this”.
Hold L1 L2 R1 R2 and then there is a option to change controller port to port 2 during the fight with mantis is the only time it will work
Hi, how can I download BookMaster Digital as a PDF?
