Matty's TIMING deserves an S+ Rank!!

Everyone's saying the timing is a coincidence when in reality Matty had this one waiting😂. As he should

one of the best games of all time IMO. those cutscenes at the end that revealed the truth about the boss fucking broke me.

MGS2 created a healthy fear of internet information in me at a pretty young age that has always stuck with me. It's a one-of-a-kind game. Very excited for the MGS3 remake!

MGS3 is favourite in the series i'd put it in my all time top 10. The jungle setting was perfect for stealth, The survival mechanics made it way more immersive. The Boss and the Cobra unit make for some of the coolest boss fights ever, I'm stoked to play it again.

The timing on this is impeccable lmao

Holy shit Matt wasted no time dropping this

This game is in my top 10 of all time. It's SO good, I don't trust Konami to not fuck up the remake, but they'll never takeaway from how near-perfect the original is.

Mgs2 and mgs3 are not only the 2 best ps2 games but two of the greatest games ever made full stop.

Something still wild to me is how well Snake Eater 3D works on the 3DS, particularly if you have a New 3DS. My first playthough of 3d was the first time I ever managed a no alert playthrough of the game, despite having only ever played the game on PS2 previously. And things like menu navigation and camo changing were much more streamlined with the touch screen. I still think HD collection is a better way to play the game, but I can definitely say 3D is way more solid than I ever expected.

Bro, this HAS to be a new record.

Title: "Is Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater REALLY That Good?!" Me: No, it is better!

I, for one, really appreciate you avoiding spoilers when you do these videos.

That song snake eater and ladder scene still goes hard to this very day

MGS3 being the start of the timeline makes sense to me being a DMC fan...DMC3 did the same thing and it was awesome! Just got done watching the Playstation showcase for the remake, so perfect timing for the upload there, Matty!

The controls in MGS3 are janky-but if you truly master them and play this game on European Extreme there is no satisfaction like it. The fact that the game is difficult to control is part of the design in my opinion. If Snake were agile and ability to just pop off shots no problem, you wouldn’t feel outmatched and like every decision counts

I always felt the clunky controls worked well with the stealth aspects of the game.

I love MGS1 the most, but MGS 1-4 for me are fantastic. Don't really have much issues with MGS3 controls, you need a little bit of time to adapt, but I don't really find them clunky, just different.

the controls really are not difficult if you've played MGS before, the controls are great, and something I'm worried about is how it will feel as the face buttons on new consoles are now no longer analog, which was a huge part of the controls of MGS3

This is my favorite game of all time i remember hiding this game from my parents because i wasnt allowd to play m rated games yet.

MIND BLOWN AT THE END OF MGS2. ESPECIALLY HAVING REPLAYED IT YESTERYEAR. HAVING GROWN UP AND UNDERSTANDING MORE THINGS ABOUT SOCIETY, TECHNOLOGY, POLITICS, THE INTERNET. DEFINITELY AHEAD OF ITS TIME AND IT EERILY PREDICTS INTERNET CULTURE BACK IN 2001. WAY BEFORE SOCIAL MEDIA

Really well thought out retrospect. I would like to add that in 2004, video games still had clunky controls (GTA:SA, Spinter Cell, Pandora Tomorrow, Battlefront 1), which some younger gamers may not understand how we managed to play these archaic games. MGS3 is still my top favorite game that I play to this day.

I still play this game. Bought the HD Collection back when it first released. In absolute shock and awe over Delta. Holy Shhh.

I like the antiquated design of the older MGS games. It's a part of the charm for me. Everything these days plays the same.

I actually love how the dialogue is displayed in codec and the long monologues, it makes them feel important and pay attention.

*The OG MGS3 had a fixed camera, so you HAD to constantly scan in first person for enemies. That + no Soliton radar makes this game REALLY frustrating. Story is awesome, but the camera and controls hold it back*

Removing the codec moments or removing the codec menu would be like shortening the cutscenes in a Yakuza remake/remaster. I feel they are too integral to the feeling of a classic MGS game

I had the same attitude towards death stranding as you have until a week ago when i finished director's cut. It's incredible, pacing can wonk a tiny bit at one point, but it's absolutely worth it

Ohh the algorithm is gonna reward you big time.

9:04 this was the most painful and relatable piece of gameplay in the video

Glad you got to this one! This is my absolute favorite game in the series and my favorite PS2 game!

I hope they keep the classic codec calls the same. In MGSV I largely ignored/ was too distracted by playing the game to care what what being said in any call and thus the game lost a lot of it's charm that the older titles had. Hard to get invested into the lore when you accidentally trigger an alert phase and are fighting back, ya know? Sometimes modern conveniences aren't always needed. We THINK we want them, but only because we've been conditioned into thinking new = better.

This is one of the all time GOAT games imo the original snake eater still holds up as an amazing game till this day.

Oh, the memory of being called to dinner with my family while I was wailing after finishing this game when I was 14 It was the first, and certainly not he last, time I cried with a game

It's great that MGS 3 is getting a remake. Hopefully it will get back some of the franchise's respect.

Hell yes, this game is epic, a guerrilla styled James Bond. I hope the remake doesn't miss the mark like Twin snakes did without Kojima

You're absolutely spot on about the JRPG stuff, Metal Gear series is a Japanese game for the global audience.

are you kidding me? It’s a masterpiece

Every time I see a Retro Rebound video I wonder if it's an old one that I missed but no... you just pump out content like a machine and it's nuts man. Great stuff.

It's a great game but personally I like MGS 1 and 2 even more. I heard some creators say that 3 is universally seen as the best MGS and I don't really agree with that.

Sir... you absolutely can crouch that's what the boxes are for

I am the ONE person who preferred Sons of Liberty but still loved Snake Eater a close second.

0:26 *NAKED SNAKE

Besides the og Resident Evil 4, this is the game I've played and beaten the most out every game ive ever owned. There were so many secrets and unlockables. Not to mention the online mode the ape escape mode. Also like you said the control scheme was a little clunky almost by design since the ps2 had the pressure sensitive button feature that the mgs games liked to use.

The timing of a god

This is literally my fav game of all time. Without a doubt

I'm also late to the mgs party. But I am playing through the HD 360 version on Xenia. I am super shocked by how well it holds up. The controls are quite crazy and the game is very hard. I love it. I'm still figuring it out. But I am loving it.

A certified classic which has been played many times over the years. If any game deserves a remake it's this.

Dude you’re SMUCKUNG FART for dripping this!!!!!

I personally enjoy Death Stranding, but you definitely need the right mentality when you're going into it. The story is strange and very interesting! The ending blew my mind!

Matty is an absolute genius. Knowing the rumors were true 👏🏻👏🏻 legend

I played the original version of mgs3 had a fixed overhead camera. You had to go into first person constantly to scan for people in the area. The subsistence version had the upgraded third person camera made the game alot better albeit easier

matty 100% has a friend in the industry that leaked the remake announcement lol

It’s Pretty Good and it’s my Favorite VideoGame of All Time

I get tired of people saying Death Stranding is a “UPS simulator” it is definitely a weird game but it has so many Unique and fun mechanics. The acid rain by itself makes they game very interesting

Yes. Yes it is THAT good. My fav is still MGS2 but yeah. 3 is amazing.

I played MGS3 (my first MGS experience) back in 2006 when i was 8 years old and I was hooked from the start. Then we got a PS3 with MGS4 and i played that forever and finally got to play MGS and MGS2. Played MGSV GZ & TPP when they released. Been obsessed with the lore, stories and gameplay ever since MGS3 and im so excited that it’s getting a remake

MGS 3 was initially meant to be a PS3 game. It aged way worse than MGS 2 because it's technologically limited

Few games have made me cry , 3 of these were MGS games ! The memories I have of 14 year old me crying like a baby at the end of MGS3 circa 2005-6 after finishing the game past midnight in my bedroom in the pale flickering light of my CRT TV. These are memories that will stay with me for my entire life , I hope the remake does it justice for a whole new generation of people to experience that , If it is anywhere near as well executed as Final Fantasy VII Remake I will probably experience the emotion all over again.

Well this was timed perfectly

Matty knew something we didn't 👀

The simple answer is "Yes". It will make you salute boss at the end

Well modders got you covered, there's a crough walking mod for the master collection on Nexus! ;)

I will save you all 16 minutes and 53 seconds. The answer is Yes.

Short answer: yes Long answer: OF FUCKIN COURSE!

Short answer: no. It’s actually my 4th favorite MGS.

That whole video could be a simple "YES"

Yes it is THAT good.. and it's naked snake lol Your timing was unbelievably good

I think MGS 2 is one of the greatest games of all time.. I think stylistically, aesthetically alone it's stands out more than MGS 3.. from playing as Snake to Raiden... the Brooklyn bridge intro on the ship... to then switching characters... I think the boss fights, the story, just about everything is 10x more iconic, and memorable. I loved MGS 3... but it was forgettable in comparison to MGS2. I can't wait for them to remake that.. Hopefully MGS 3 remake is a great start.

How ebarassimg that all these companies are pumping out remakes with ease but square is speading a single remake of FF7 onto what will eventually be 3 separate consoles. Part1 is on ps4 part 2 is coming to ps5 and by the time part3 is done it will be on ps6. Meanwhile capcom was able to make re2, 3 and 4 all on ps4...

Damn Matty had this locked and loaded!

“I’m Solid Snake baby” NO THAT IS NOT SOLID SNAKE

For the remake they said there going to be using the OG characters . It is unsure if there going to re dub or there going to port the old line to the new game

my first time playing this was on the 3ds in the halfway house. my roommate’s thought i was watching a movie every night😂 it was a great experience after wanting to play it for years.

I played this for the first time last year and fell in love. I didnt have the control issue honestly. I got it pretty quick

People that criticize the gameplay of MGS3 should play MGS3 on 3DS. They actually improved the gameplay on the 3DS version giving it the more refined controls of Peacewalker.

Just popped in real quick to reply on the video title: Yes, it is. Great day everybody!

MGS 3 is the Rambo game we deserved. one of the best games ever. 2 was ahead of its time with the AI stuff, and 3 is my fav of the series. even today it’s very much playable and enjoyable - still a lot better than many games nowadays. only thing that bothers me is the controls, and maybe that some areas are really narrow due to technical limitations.

God Tier timing.

MGS3 is Big Boss’s story. Solid Snake isn’t born until years later

Matty, the mystic seer of the future

Your timing was impeccable

Yeah, second one is dope and probably the best. Though the gameplay isn’t better than the second one. It’s a pretty solid prequel. This game fits the climate right now with the war. The camera was better, the weapons felt better. I’ve played the original and HD remakes. Play the third in first then play the second one and tell my MSG feel clunky compared to 2. Not true. I’ve beat those two like 20 times each.

I’ll be honest and admit I don’t hate MGS3 but I think MGS2 and Twin Snakes are far better games. Twin Snakes gets a lot of hate but it was a really fun experience and Sons of liberty needs no introduction, the game is peak MGS to the fullest.

Aiming is easy. Hold r1 hold square 1 second. Don't need to tap L3. Edit. It sounds like alot to have to hold square but you will be holding it anyways to take aim and it pulls out immediately

Yes it really is that good. I replayed it last year and it's still in my top 5 games of all time.

MGS3 only has clunky controls on non-DualShock2 controllers. The game was made for that controller and the HD rereleases could not make the controls fit without pressure sensitive face buttons. It's slightly smoother than MGS2 from a gameplay mechanics point

Nice coincidence! Never played MGS before but about to dust off my Vita for this :)

Dude know what his doing

The ps2 version has an ape escape mini game thats not on the hd collection

Yes it is young man, yes it is, respect the GOAT

Hi man, would love to see you do another video on Bioshock 1. I have been replaying it and it is still so good!

Oh hell no, he just called Naked Snake "Solid Snake". On a serious note, I can't wait to play Snake Eater on PS5, I agree that the controls even on the collection were very clunky, I prefer MGS4 controls but now I can't wait to play Snake Eater with hopefully mgsv tpp style controls. I loved mgs3 for how innovative it was especially for The End alternative endings and the immersive sniper battle, how enemy soldiers morale was affected by ration storage sites being destroyed.... I could go on but it's spoiler territory... One thing that looks interesting from the trailer is how they show an anaconda and a croc fighting, so I'm wondering if in the swamps we might be occasionally ambushed by anacondas or other reptiles if we don't spot them earlier enough. I haven't been this excited for a game for a long time.

Yes but I disagree with you on the gameplay. I feel that the first three games are perfection embodied as far as story and controls go. The only minor thing is controlling the second analog stick while shooting but it's so minor it may as well not be an issue. I DO agree with you on MGS2 being your favorite - absolutely mindblowing and also my favorite game. It was my favorite game of all time for a long time but I haven't played it in a while.

Fun info: Snake Eater is playable on your ps3 from the ps2 disk. Only the original ps2 version and only on the original phat ps3.

Ok, but you should really try Death Stranding. The first Kojima game I played was Mgsv and I loved it but didn't finish it in the end, am currently playing mgs3 tho and I'm obsessed with it. But Death Stranding was a really deep game for me, everything you do feels so important and impactful. The people need your deliveries for survival, the world needs your work to rebuild and you see the impact through the playthrough, you see the roads build, you feel the impact other players have on your world and feel a connection with them. And it has a very tactical feel, you gotta plan out how many weapons will you take, you gotta figure out which orders will you take and to plan out the route. Idk Death Stranding is deffinitely one of my favorite games ever. Recommend

I remember in the online portion we would make the characters "dance" while aiming/shooting at other opponents so that our character's head was a moving target while in one place. This required holding R1 + L2 to aim while tapping R2 and L2 to shift to the sides while also tapping X to stand/crouch, and finally Square to fire. It was a steep learning curb but once master it was highly effective

MGS3, Peace Walker, Ground Zeros, Phantom Pain, Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2, MGS1, MGS2, MGS4. I believe that is the story order.

I would say that the controls being “clunky” are more of a product of the time the game released because most shooters back then had some really bizarre control schemes. I love the MGS3 control scheme so I don’t really see it as odd but to each their own haha

This game was a revolution young bucks
