in my purge spree this past weekend i found a bunch of gamecube games i (a) ordered in the last two years (lol) and (b) never played (double lol). since i am so far behind my FE9 loveblog on tumbr it ain't even funny i figured i might throw one of these in as after-work distraction until my brain can write a long form blog post again (x13).

DA QUESTION: I have metal gear solid : twin snakes (gamecube edition)

tl;dr is it worth playing / experiencing twin snakes as the OG MGS1 game?

i know most people prefer the PS1 version to superior art direction, voices, etc, but alas while i could likely emulate it on the steam deck i don't wannaaaa < don't have the brainwidth to set up emulation properly right now).  things lowkey going for it: it's a little easier with MGS2 gameplay ( i loved mgs2, and i am so fucking rusty so i will appreciate that lol) plus i play all games on mute / actually prefer the GC controler over every other controller, so that doesn't count.

if i play this finally large chunks of MGS lore will make sense XD (finished 2 & 3 on the ps3 in college, and had a blast watching a lets play of 4 from start to finish which was genuinely okay because that one was an honest to god movie anyway.) 

(other games would be the resident evil on gamecube, OG metroid prime which i distinctly remember renting from blockbuster back in high school and never finished (lol). we goin RETRO baybe)

this is going on pure half-baked memories but: fwiw i do remember, when Twin Snakes came out, everything i saw gave it good reviews & said it was a good and worthy port/remaster & i feel like i saw some ppl who liked it more than the ps1 version? so i feel like it's not like one version is obviously better than the other, at the very least, and The One You Will Actually Play is DEFINITELY the better option vs the one you won't lol

also it is a very fun game :) so if you take the plunge lmk; it's a great ride!
