the whole time I played MGS was unpleasant and was filled with PS1 era cruelty and frustration. When I didn't realise my controller died mid cutscene and I failed the torture scene and had to redo the previous 2 hours (you know the really cool part where you backtrack to get the sniper ifykyk) it made me want to shave my head and act like a vigilante on the streets.

I think after that point I realised MGS is a fantastic and genre-defining point in gaming history and I don't regret playing it for a second.
