I have been playing PW and have yet to touch MGS2 or 3.
Peace Walker is such a good game. PSP kind of ruined its perception by most people I think.
Game » consists of 60 releases. Released Nov 08, 2011
To round out my experience with MGS. I had played MGS substance on the PC, and of course MGS 4. Also this is my counterbalance, the other side of the court so to speak, of Halo HD on the X-box 360. I was planning to play these 2 collections now, but I am being delayed by Arkham city...

It didn't look fun to play on the quick look.
The QL sucked. You have to be a few hours into PW to see what it really is. I mean everyone has played MGS2/3 but no one even knows what Peacewalker is. And its a really good game but its biggest downfall was being on PSP.

I'm just talking about the controls.
@Doctorchimp: I thought so too at first but after playing it it pretty much plays exactly how you expect an MGS to play. I mean the aiming is solid. not like aiming with the face buttons on PSP at all its straight dual analogue control.
THE QL REALLY JUST SUCKED LIKE TEN FOOT DICKS.
The GB crew just dislikes/has no faith in MGS.
I got it for MGS2.
I'm one of those people that hate 3 and never bothered with the franchise after that.
Then again 3 had that fixed camera which was great for MGS1 and 2 but horrible for 3.
I have yet to touch 3 but i tried peacewalker it looks like it could be good but the whole ''most bosses too hard , your gonna need a co op partner '' thing turned me off from that game.
Idk just my 2 cents .

yeah but the version of MGS3 in the collection has a 3D camera that you can control with the right stick.
The coop thing is true about peace walker. but I don't know.. even I have a friend or two to play with. Plus random people online.

If you say that you expect a MGS game's controls to suck, I agree with you. It indeed does look like it controls like dreck. Not saying it cannot be good, if you get past that. I don't want to get past it though, hence I ignore it. I feel like MGS should strife to get past its legacy of cumbersome controls.

Peace walker has controls comparable to MGS4.
MGS2 and 3 still have the same controls they had on PS2.
But MGS PW actually improved over the PSP version.

MGS 3 with extras for me personally.
Same here. The first game I went to was MGS3... now I bought MGS: Portable Ops on the PSP, but never bought Peace Walker... yet... I still went to MGS3 first.

I saw this as a MGS 2&3 HD Collection with a free copy of Peace Walker. There's nothing wrong with that game. It's just that MGS 2&3 brought back memories.
Agreed. I totally love the other two games, but personally I bought it for the oppurtunity to play 2 & 3 on a hi-def television. I did really enjoy Peace Walker though, more than I thought I would. I must say, however, that I don't know if I'm prepared to grind through to 100% completion on it...

I found Peace walker boring. Loved replaying MSG3.
Sadly my toughts exactly.
Peace Walker seems made to be played on the go....
oh wait...
I am getting this for 2. I have played all the way through 3 and while Ocelot and The Boss are amazing characters, I find the enemies in 3 are very weak personality wise. I really liked Vamp and Fortune from 2, although Fatman was a little annoying, and I love Raiden's story. And I've played through the game many times.
I didn't buy it, but if I ever do, yes that will be why. The other games have already been on consoles.

Definitely this, I'm buying for MGS2 and 3, Peacewalker is a sweet little bonus

you know they rereleased MGS3 with 3D camera years and years and years ago? that is the version that's on here. only 1 and 2 have fixed camera angles
I actually view as the other way around, i'm dying to play mgs2 again and getting all the dog tags, i'm not joking. and piss walker is the extra
Don't know. Haven't bought it yet. Looking forward to get it sometime. Do I have to know the original story of MGS1 to get a comprehensive idea of what the fuck is going on? Also, I wish they could have included Portable Ops as it was a great game with intense boss fights. They definitely should have bundled that with the game.
Am i the only one who got it for all games, not one specifically? I mean, that's the point of HD Collections, to get it because of all the games.I'm with you bud. I got it for the whole collection.

well yeah as I see it MGS 2 and 3 are old games, classics. Peace walker is a new game. newer than MGS4. Its as good as any MGS game and if you think of yourself as an MGS fan then you ought to play it.

You could say that to any comment on the MGS HD collection...
@Klei: I was pleasantly surprised when I started to play it. I never bought a PSP so I missed out on it and it was pretty good. I really liked the Monster Hunter missions as well. (Probably the closest I'm going to get to an "HD" Monster Hunter in the US on a console I own.)
MGS 2 was the main draw for me...even though I already have 3 different ways of playing it.
@Seppli
If you're ignoring the MGS franchise because of this imaginary barrier you've put up, you're losing out on one of the best experiences in gaming.
Peacewalker for me. I never got to finish that game since my PSP analogue-nub broke during the
I've played the other two games to death. Nice to see them with a graphical touch-up though.
