Amazing Games, garbage ports
This was my first encounter with the MGS series and it sucks that this is how I was able to experience such a beloved videogame franchise. The ports are just old ports that had to be re-released due to licensing issues and you can tell their age. It would've been nice if these were actual remasters. It's most notable in MGS1 as it almost looks fuzzy. The storytelling and cinematography holds up very well still and I loved what Hideo Kojima has created. I couldn't give it a lower score because I really did enjoy these games. Just sucks that they aren't real remasters. Looking for to Metal Gear Delta now!
Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 has some issues, but it is far from unplayable. In fact, there are even some things here you can't find anywhere else (or at least easily). The biggest problem is the emulation issues, which I understand. These were not supposed to be remasters, though. These games were always ports. Could've been cleaned up, sure, but they're not bad.
This collection definitely needed a lot more love from Konami. The presentation is great, but I don't like that there isn't a unified collection. Instead, we have individual launchers (so that people can buy games individually). I am glad to see these games on modern platforms and PC, but the end result will vary from person-to-person.
MGS1 has some load issues with regard to cutscenes. These scenes will take longer to load than on PS3. It's not great. The game also looks very fuzzy, and it would have been nice to see a sharpness filter. This seems to be a very straight port with no work to give the game some filters. Yeah, I was straight up expecting a PS1 game on here, but this doesn't even look like that at times. The positive side is that MGS1 does include the Integral version of the game, as well as Special Missions and VR missions. However, Integral and Special Missions require another download for the language packs, which just should have been included. The MGS1 version also comes with Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 (though they're obviously ripped from the PS3/360 HD Collection), so if you're considering getting just this one game, keep that in mind.
MGS 2 and 3 are the BluePoint conversions from the HD Collection on the 360/PS3. They are currently having issues running at 1080p, which was the promised resolution. They still run at 720p. Not much is changed with these games, and no other versions of the games are included, which is a shame to not include Substance and Subsistence in this collection.
The extras in each title include the Screenplay and Master Books, which are excellent additions, and can help stuck players, as they're essentially strategy guides baked into the package. There is also a small selection of music in each collection to listen to while reading.
The bonus content is okay. The extra soundtrack is very small. The extra games are strange curiosities from the NES/Famicom, but I'm glad to see them in here, even if they're not well-regarded, as they help to tell a bigger story about the franchise. The digital graphic novels are short films that were in the Legacy Collection on the PS3. They are helpful if you want to skip MGS 1 and 2, but still have the story. They're okay, but still nice to have in here. Weird that the bonus material has its own launcher, too. Would have been better if they had been included in the MG 1 and 2 bundle, but it's fine. You don't seem to be able to acquire this part of the package separately, however, you have to buy the full collection to get access to this content.
Overall, it's not a bad collection, but definitely needed some more effort from Konami. Hopefully Vol 2 will be done better, and even more, I hope for a unified collection in the future.

Console: 3 of 5 - A barebones port job, but the option to download the original Japanese versions along with other regional editions & the Screenplay/Master Books make this worthwhile for newcomers and fans. The games are presented as close to originally intended as possible and the devs made some fixes to MGS2 & 3 (codec delay is gone in MGS2; that bug single handedly adds multiple unskippable hours to a normal play through), so I do applaud them for going the extra mile in that aspect.
PC version: 1 of 5 - A horrid rush job with ABYSMAL optimization, no resolution options, and no keyboard support. The fact that this was released in this state is so typical of modern Konami and I’m so very scared for the Snake Eater Remake. Modders will definitely make this the definitive version of the games in time, but do not buy this game as is at full price; if you have to pick one buy one of the console versions.

Gostei principalmente por eles trazerem os jogos antigos pros consoles novos, que venha MGS4
a shitty port to modern platforms of a shitty port to PS3. Stick to pachinko Konami. You should just emulate these games if you can't use original hardware.
A great collection of games. They run great. Some of my favorite stories in games. Not the best way to play them but if you have no other options then this works
a mid port of some of the greatest games of all time, mods fix all the problems but it's sad Konami didn't give these games the love they deserve. still probably worth it if you've never played any metal gear although you should prob emulate MGS1, the master collection version just doesn't have analogue control for whatever reason.
Concedió pero no tendrá motor
one of the most overated games of all time
This is not only a worse port of each of these games, it flat out doesn’t work. In MGS1 when you want to switch controller ports, the menu takes 15 minutes to load. I’m not even shitting you. This is such an insulting and greedy collection. Don’t buy it and don’t support Konami.
Una delle peggiori remastered/collection di sempre
A parte MGS1 che si gioca come lo si è sempre giocato e a parte il fatto che hanno messo la possibilità di giocare le versioni di regioni diverse (europee, americane e giapponesi), la possibilità di emulare i salvataggi, di leggere il manuale altrimenti inaccessibile e la possibilità di guardare gli script e sentire la soundtrack, gli altri 2 giochi, MGS2 e MGS3 sono un disastro totale.
Questi ultimi 2 sono inferiori in tutto e per tutto alla HD Edition sbarcata su ps3 e 360 nel 2011 e non presentano ALCUN MIGLIORAMENTO. Cosa che i modder sono riusciti a fare anche solo con un semplice fix ed un file .ini da poter modificare a piacimento. È assurdo che per una collection rilasciata al lancio a 60 euro succeda questo.
Compratelo solamente su PC dove con le mod potete veramente rendere questi giochi il meglio del meglio e comunque vi consiglio di comprarlo tramite key od in forte sconto. Evitate le versioni console. Pensate che su xbox è meglio giocare l'HD Collection del 2011 in retrocompatibilità che giocare questa nuova versione e non parliamo proprio invece della versione switch.

I have had an unorthodox exposure to the Metal Gear games. Played 2 when I was like 12 and just didn't get it. Played the NES game on an emulator in middle school and again didn't get it. I then skip ahead to Phantom Pain and loved it. But it belonged to a friend and only got through the first hour and a bit.
Now I'm gonna work my way all the way through. Long overdue but after beating Metal Gear Solid 1 I can say that while I think I would have liked them in highschool I'm glad to have such a fantastic series a head of me in my adult life.
The first game holds up incredibly well and despite a few things that have aged poorly it is still incredibly fun. Impressive for its time for sure. Great sense of humor. Goofy, over the top, soapy post cold war plot that is a lot of fun. Controls are dated but serviceable. Graphics are charming.
Banger.

Finished MGS1 and started MGS2.
sizin ben ananızı sikeyim
...
yani, aşırı iyi bir oyunun çok iğrenç bir portu, adamlar direkt olarak ps1 emuletorunden alıp ısıtıp 1-2 tane icon değiştirip üstüne başa bi launcher ekleyip steam e eklemişler, mgs 3 ü 5 saat oynadım şuanlık, mgs 1 ise gram oynanılabilir değil 10 dk oynayıp alt f4 çektim çünkü oyunda "exit" tuşu yok çünkü oyun birebir ps1 versiyonu farkı yok, aralarında bir tek mgs3 oynanabilir, bunu almaktansa gidip emuletor ile oynayın en azından orda ayar yapabiliyorsunuz.
yapman gereken tek bir şey vardı oyunları adam akıllı pcye getirmek onu bile beceremedin
Ps2 game “remastered” for ps3 and then ported over the same thing over to ps5. Fuck konami.
MGS1-3, MG1&2, MGS VR are all available in this package for modern consoles. There isn't much beyond that, but the games are still great.
For a medium to play the first 3 MGS games, this port collection works well. Sure, you can nitpick all you want with it and complain about how it’s low effort, but i’m just glad I finally get to play these games. Especially since I get to play them on my PS5, rather than the original consoles/emulation.
They seriously need to fix the bugs.
good collection coulda been better but the accesibility is what matters anyways, all i ever wanted from the master collecton was to be able to comfortably play competent versions of metal gear from steam without bullshit or fiddling around with emulators and it accomplished that so it's a win in my book
plus the extras are pretty neat and useful, like the guidebooks and the script and shit it's not really stuff that you might actively pursue but you can appreciate that they included it
hopefully they'll bother to fix the resolution on PC, but it don't matter to me, maybe it matters if you're on a 4K monitor but on a 1080p one it doesn't even look that blurry, the alt tabbing is the only actually annoying thing but besides that i'm just glad i'm playing consistently smooth and responsive versions of mgs2 and 3, no emulator slowdowns, no nothing just pure unadulterated kino
they could have done a better job with mgs1 tho ngl

Portage flémard, jeux excellent. MGS 3 un très bon jeu a jouer
vsf joguei o 3 por umas 2h derrotei o Volgin e o Shagohod e a merda travou perdi td
amazing games, horrible port
Le tre stelle sono per la collection, non per i giochi che in se' sono tutti e tre da 5 stelle!
Horrible collection of "ports".
MGS2 and 3 just running an emulator to play the HD collection, but somehow having anti-aliasing and texture filtering turned OFF, makes this genuinely lower graphical quality on ps5 than the HD collection on ps3.
MGS1 not supporting analogue movement, despite being openly admitted to be a ps1 emulation, and the ORIGINAL GAME SUPPORTED DUALSHOCK ANALOGUE JOYSTICKS, demonstrates that this is PURELY an issue of Konami's ps1 emulator team not bothering to include analogue movement support that FREE EMULATORS PROVIDE.
Do not buy

great games poor ports
A great collection that brought some MGS games to the current gen and it’s by far the best and easiest way to experience the amazing MGS games. Get this if you’re thinking about getting into the franchise and don’t have time to troubleshoot emulators.
