I remember seeing my guy’s fists get comically huge when I punched something and getting very happy

I loved the weighty ass realistic animations, it was so cool. Like a sideways movie I controlled.

I loved dragging bodies around and watching them rag doll and getting stuck on puzzles

The main menu was cool

Same as megaman 2. Ppl talk about this being hard but my best memory of this game was when I broke my hand and played it one handed. I died by going on the roof of an elevator and getting squished, I thought wow that’s so realistic

This was an insane improvement from c47 but I was still too dumb and young for the puzzles

lol I liked playing as the penguins

I didn’t understand how much peak I was witnessing. Yes I played it 24/7 but I was a kid with free time I should’ve played it MORE

Doing these moves irl to my cousins >>>>>>>>>>>

I still have the cheat codes memorized

I watched all the forrestfire101 videos and then randomly I was in a store called future shop (merged with Best Buy not long ago) and I saw this on a shelf I was like HOLY FUCK THEY MADE A LEGO BATMAN VIDEOGAME!?!!?!??

I was telling my friend at school about Lego Batman and he said “ya I really like Lego Batman 2” and I was like …………….. and then I went and got Lego Batman 2

I remember being jealous that everyone in school had Minecraft except me so I pretended it sucked and then on my birthday I got Minecraft and it was good

I still play this today. The bots have tried to kill it but no other multiplayer game is 1% as fun as this

Actually blew my mind. It was like Lego Batman but REALISTIC!

I was so obsessed with this that I made my friends play pirates outside. And I would recreate the long ass reload animation and this poor girl I was friends with was so confused about how she was supposed to mime the reloading of a flintlock pistol

I never got to play Nintendo games growing up , but I learned about emulation and this was the first Nintendo game I played. It was nuts. Still their best #boom

I watched stampy cat, my fav Minecraft YouTuber play this. And then I played it myself. I should replay, it would probably fix all mental healths worldwide

On Christmas I got a PlayStation gift card and I realized I could buy the whole metal gear solid series on ps3 for 50 dollars. so I did.

… and after mgs2 I played 3. Both are honestly the same calibre. 2 does some things better 3 just massages my brain the right way with its specializations. I love its more personal story and the setting and survival mechanics and camouflage and omg just omg.

I got a switch as a surgery present and I played this, unspoiled and completely uninterrupted for like 200+ hours. How could it not be my favourite?

But then after the hype wore off and I did a second playthrough and saw how much that first impression mattered, I settled on mgs3 being my permagoat, undefeated 2017- today.
