However I also think that, since the first MGS, these mechanics were developed and refined quite neatly. The team put plenty of effort into them and I believe they were able to remedy this issue in later installments, specially by adding the first person aim/view. The breaking of the fourth wall may seem a little out of place some times but it also allows for interesting interactions, although I *think* these happen later on and I wouldn't want to spoil it. You'll have to get used to them regardless SS :p Cheers. While this is partially true I do think the shooting mechanics were one of the game’s flaws back then.

Not big complications there :v It's not like MGS' gameplay was that innovate and new. Plays very similar to 8 bit MG games :v Still works, though. Except for that part :v

Although there are a few bullshite sequences where you automatically trigger an alert, for the most part the silenced pistol is the way to go. This holds true for MGS 2 and 3 as well - the tranq pistol in those games is the only weapon you ever need, really :P Oh and by the way – yes the shooting controls are clunky for MGS, but for the most part, stick with the laser sighted pistol like I said.

It gets even worse in MGS2, so grit your teeth for it :P I can see why some people don’t like Kojima’s constant breaking of the 4th wall, and while I’m not that big a fan of it either, it’s a pretty sustained, deliberate attempt by him, as opposed to just a “Oops that was awkward I messed up” design decision.
