HOLY PEAK
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.
The original Metal Gear Solid games have been stuck on seventh generation hardware for what has felt like enterity, and I was delighted when this collection was announced. And while this collection isn’t entirely bad, it has issues.
For Metal Gear Solid 1, the game is a bit blurry and hard to see. Metal Gear Solid 2 is supposed to be 1080p, but is obviously at 720p. It also has compressed audio, which sounds awful compared to the other ports. The best game in the collection by far is Metal Gear Solid 3, having no issues on my end. The game is 1080p at 60fps. The only issue was that in the cave, my game freezed for half a second. However, it still suffers from compressed audio.
If you’re on PC, I cannot recommend this collection. Though, if you have no other options, than this collection will do just fine.
Edit: I don’t know if Konami dropped a secret patch or what, but now MGS2 is actually at 1080p. Although, like MSG3, the audio is compressed and the texture quality isn’t upscaled from the PS3/X360 versions. If you’re on PC, I would say you’re still better off emulating them and using mods, but for console users, this is a good option.

Games barely run on my pc. You could argue that's a me problem but I would argue that I should be able to run these 20+ year old games, especially when I can run Revengeance on the lowest graphics settings no problem
The new extra stuff they added is neat and I appreciate having all the MGS1 related stuff in one place but the lack of care put into the ports themselves is abysmal

Amazing Games, garbage 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.
Pretty lacking port but at least it has 3 of the best games ever made.
va te faire enculer
Os jogos continuam maravilhosos, isso não há duvida, mas o tratamento que a Konami deu é... complicado, principalmente para a versão de PC
Honestamente só vale apena se você não tem nenhuma outra forma de jogar os jogos, porque de verdade, nunca na minha vida eu achei que eu veria uma coleção receber Patch Notes

It's a great collection of the original Metal Gear saga that Kojima intended to release back when he worked on the series. The collection has a lot within it such as the screenplays, master books, and it contains up to 10 games so I do believe that this collection is a good deal for $59.99. Now that being said, there are maybe a couple minor issues such as no borderless window option and small audio issues. I don't care about complaints that people have about no 4K or high tech stuff like that because that's just asking for stuff that'll mess these games up. I'd def recommend getting the collection if you've never played Metal Gear before, it's one of my all-time favorite game series. Thank you for creating these games, Hideo Kojima.
half assed port more or less, just like the OG port of mgs2 there's no QOL enhancements for PC users and it's just a straight rip of the HD collection games. the best remaster wouldve been just getting the OG source code and compiling it again instead of using Unity and doing some internal reverse engineering for some reason. atleast MGS1 and MG 1 and 2 had some effort done into it
i saw all this coming since we got the very first details about this... and OH GOD!
MGS1 has a REALLY bad input lag (on my experience, i never saw anyone talking about this so maybe it's just me :I) and has no analog support, something that the original game had with the dualshock controller, good job konami.
MGS3 is locked at 30 fps only on switch, we're all know the switch isn't as powerful as a modern PC or console, and i don't mind that too much (mainly because usually unlocking the framerate to old games breaks them, look at GTA San Andreas) my issue here is that meanwhile the HD collection for PS3/X360 runs at 60 fps with just a few issues on ps3, WHAT! (i don't know if MGS2 is locked too but that would be worse remembering that it runs at 60 fps on the original PS2).
There's no video options, i saw a lot of people saying that MGS1 looks blurry as hell and of course you can like that or not (i don't) but why not letting you choose having them or not! let players choose between watching every polygon of snake's butt, make you believe that you need glasses, or even CRT filters, CAPCOM DOES IT, IT'S NOT THAT HARD.
Can someone please explain me why the pc version requirements are actually higher than MGSV, a 2015 game, that thing it's just bad optimization, there's no excuse (and speaking about that, am i the only one who gets worse loading screens than on emulators?)
Maybe there's more to tell but probably my mind forgot about that to keep me mentally sane, the thing that most hurts me is that at this point we should forget about the vol. 2, which means MGS4 will be still trapped on PS3

A collection of three of the best games I have ever played. The collection loses some points for the visuals not looking as good as the 360 collection in some instances, but overall it's still a great way to experience the games if you're a new fan or a returning one. It even includes a mock save system, so Mantis can read your card.
People don't have to start with V or Revengeance now at least
Making 3 of the greatest games ever made more readily available is a w in my books
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.
sizin ben ananızı sikeyim
Overall: Poor quality ports with lots of fixes, they do run and are easily obtainable so...
MGS3: This is my favorite game of all time so I took this rerelease pretty seriously. Having to edit hex or use a mod to change your resolution from 720p is asinine and I cannot believe this launched without ANY graphics options whatsoever. The actual game runs fine, locked 60fps and played just as well with a few bug fixes which I appreciate.
Played on E-Extreme Foxhound rank.

A Masterpiece Bundled In a Shoddy and Disappointing Port
Oh man how do I review this? I bought this collection solely for Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater because it's the only one of the first 3 MGS games that I've never played. I've considered emulating because of the reception but with mods and fixes, I'd say it looks and plays better.
We've got so many memorable and grounded characters, amazing CODEC conversations, a stamina system that I didn't hate, charming and campy villains, and a story that moved me to tears. My only personal gripes was the final boss theme kicked off when the fight's almost over and it took me a while to get used to the controls. I still fumble with aiming and crouching on intense situations at the end.
The remastered efforts though leaves a lot to be desired. A bunch of crashes, glaringly low quality and sometimes missing textures, colors are washed out, and at one point PARA-MEDIC's voice changed.
Overall, with HD mods and Reshade, it's an almost perfect experience and very well worth playing in 2023. I'm glad this exists for us first-timers but I hope it gets patched up eventually. I can put up with it but It sucks that this masterpiece of a game is not treated with the appropriate love and care.
My experience with Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is a 5/5 but because of the shoddy port, I'll settle for a 4/5

Wait till it's patched. By then it'll be worth it's asking price. Extras like the master book, screenplays for all games and the different versions are great for Mgs fans even though it may be crap that you have to download the different versions and a lot of stuff isn't on the disc at all/cartridge even worse. Comparison to how these games were ported on PS3. Those titles on PS3 in terms of their polish and port quality is a 5/5 compared to this. This is the first time I've noticed actual bugs and blemishes on any port apprently the hd collection had a small number but none ever detrimental or negatively affecting unlike this. Mgs1 is bilinear filtering upsampled so it actually looks blurryier than how you remember it. And it also has audio cracking:(. Mgs2 alert phases bugged a lot for me and mgs3 rain got messed up are the highlights for me. It's playable if not the most inferior way to play these games right now as of launch release date
As a collection and port job it's pretty average. Would have been great to upscale the graphics a bit but the extras while nice and cool it's nothing to get super excited about. Its just awesome to play these on modern hardware.
I'm currently finished playing MGS, the first game I played of this franchise. The game plays good, maybe not the best way to play this game.
I still have to play the 2nd and 3rd game of this collection.

игра - классика. переиздание - прогрев гоев
Impressionante ter gente defendendo essa merda. Fanboys de MGS merecem as palhaçadas que a Konami faz.
Otimização porca (alguns jogos estão mais pesados que o MGSV), texturas e áudio do MGS2 e MGS3 piorados, MGS1 sendo uma emulação ruim de PS1 sem nenhuma opção de melhoria gráfica em nenhum dos jogos (não são os mesmos jogos de anos atrás, são versões piores e com novos bugs! Só que vendido a R$300 para otários comprarem). A konami tá corrigindo algumas coisas só que numa velocidade absurda de um patch mensal (mas o preço veio inteiro...).
Numa coletânea onde se espera bons conteúdos extras dos jogos, a Konami decidiu RETIRAR conteúdo. Tanto o joguinho de andar de skate na Shell do MGS2, quanto o crossover com ape escape de MGS3 não estão presentes. O MGS1 tem um bug que o controls analógico não funciona como deveria e fica parecendo um input lag horrível, derrotar a Sniper Wolf assim deve ser péssimo.
Se você valoriza seu dinheiro, diferente de mim emocionado, emule os jogos, jogue a versão abandonware da gog do MGS2, põe o MGS1 e VR Missions no duckstation que ficam infinitas vezes melhores e de graça. Se quiser mesmo comprar, espere a Konami ter corrigido todos os problemas e tenha um pc superior ao dos requisitos recomendados porquê na época que lançou eu joguei num hardware inferior e enfrentei muitos slowdowns no MGS2 e MGS3.
No momento só zerei o MGS2 (+ todas as conquiostas e itens de New Game Plus), com mods que corrigem alguns dos problemas e um pc que atende aos requisitos, possivelmente se torna a melhor, se não uma das melhores formas de se jogar MGS2 e MGS3. Mas são as mesmas versões da HD collection (só que mais bugadas como já citei), qualquer outro jogo da coletânea já tem formas muito melhores de se jogar e sem gastar um centavo.
Acho que só vou abrir de novo essa Master Collection quando corrigirem os jogos. Se você nunca zerou MGS4, ou mesmo o Peace Walker, não espere um volume 2, porquê mesmo que tenha um, será tão mal feito quanto esse. Se você tem um bom processador, emule o MGS4, e fique longe do youtube e comunidades, porquê tem gente que só sabe ver as partes negativos desse jogo e ignoram todos os pontos bons.

I just want it to be said that the Metal Gear Solid trilogy is my favourite trilogy ever made, if I were to be reviewing this collection based off the games included it would be a very easy 10/10. Though I'm not rating the collection off of that but rather instead how it was handled.
Konami is capable of handling good collections considering the track record with things like the original MGS HD Collection + Legacy Collection, the TMNT collection, and even some of their Castlevania collections. Though not everything is good as they are also responsible for the worst ever collection with the Silent Hill HD Collection. I would say this one would be right in the middle of those I mentioned, with the exception of the PC port which is on par with the SH HD Collection. My experience on PS5 was definitely a fine one, no major bugs like save data corruption, no crashes, all minor bugs that happened to be audio issues which only occurred in MGS1/2. I like how they used the bluepoint versions of MGS2/3 but it's clear they had just copy and pasted the version here and it's a bit disappointing how MGS1 is just being emulated and not being ran natively, a big issue for the EU versions of the game as the game runs sub 25fps. I don't mind the absence of full HD support for MGS1 as I don't think it looks anything amazing but the fact that MGS2/3 aren't even 1080p is disappointing.
It's still an amazing collection of games though as MGS1-3 are some of the best games to ever come out and the collection itself has cool menus and bonus features, stuff like the original MSX games and even the NES versions and the DGNs were definitely not needed but very cool to be included.
It just gets me worried about how volume 2 will be handled and mainly for MGS4 as that game was hand crafted specifically for the PS3. They had a working version for Xbox 360 which gives me hope but not complete faith as bluepoint won't be working on that version and just in house at Konami.

Operazione di mercato molto triste e menzognera, al limite della class action.

Haven’t actually played this or seen how shit the port is, but Mori Calliope’s song compared to themes as iconic as “Snake Eater” and MGS2’s main theme is the funniest fucking thing ever. Thank you Konami.
The quality of this collection could have been better (like their recent Castlevania and Contra collections), but I’m genuinely glad to finally be able to play these on current gen. Hoping we get Volume 2 with the PSP games and 4 soon
port sucks mad gorrila dick!!! but MGS is Back! I'm so happy to see this Franchise which was almost erased from Existence come back to Life! Can't Wait for Volume 2 and Delta: Snake Eater
