Yep, at the time I thought it was a in-game meta of some sort but hardly jarring at all.

Always wanted to play MGS and, having a GCN, Twin Snakes was my entry point. Loved it and dug the over-the-top-ness that, honestly, became pretty tame by MGS-standards going forward.
This pushed me towards MGS 2 on Xbox and then the holy grail that was day 1 MGS3 on PS2.
Eventually played MGS1. Pretty fun and deserving of the hype it generated in 1998.

Ghost Babel was everything TTS wished it wasThat would be ghost babel, not MGS TTS
What gets me is that the game is a remake but the graphics ended up being less detailed and more uniform than the original. I'd hardly call it a remake if the art style doesn't follow. Let's not even talk about the music, replacing one of the landmarks of thriller/industrial music into something far less inspired is a crime.
"Twin Snakes wasn't that bad, you guys" threads pop up every so often and it's always this same old song and dance.
Twin Snakes is truly an acquired taste for refined palettes. Still hope for an HD port someday.
I've learned to appreciate Twin Snakes as a parody of MGS.
But if there's someone to blame, is Kojima.

MGS is funny, sometimes silly. But it has restraint. TS is a full blown parody.
Yeah, that's pretty bad too, in a very different way. Also not the game we are discussing. But I understand you are implying that TS is in tune with the sequels. I strongly disagree.
Like I get back flipping Snake is dumb but it's only a few notches higher then the rest of the series to me. Heck the Gray Fox stuff is tame compared to the shit Raiden does.

QFT. Only criticisms are the first person view and I miss the Original's Soundtrack. Oh and that back flip scene. Everything else is a chef's kiss of excellence IMO.
In recent walkthrough stream, DRK29 from OuterHeaven channel explains very well why this game is total mess
AI is broken, gameplay is broken.

As much as I love Twin Snakes, I have to agree that the first-person aiming did make the game pretty trivial. Out of all the criticisms people have about it, this is probably the only one I agree with.
But yes, it is fun as hell.
It's a pretty good game. Though I really disliked some changes. They should've kept the original soundtracks. And the voice acting is weaker.
I also liked Mei Ling's accent in the original; it was charming and memorable. "in china they say..."

Yes. Surprised at what other people are saying about SK not getting the blame since that's been my experience online (maybe people confuse it with Dennis Dyack hate which is understandable). I think it's a good enough game and that the original is always there if people want it.
Feels petty to blame a dev studio for a game being bad, or i guess in this case underwhelming.At least a personal blame that I'll hold over their heads. MGS1 is a perfect game and far superior to the remake in almost every way. Music and the over the top cutscenes are for sure the biggest issue. With the music, I did'nt feel any emotional resonance with the characters, like I did in MGS1. With the over the top cutscenes, it's not their existence that bothers me, but that they didn't really fit teh scenes they were used in. It felt out of place when Snake started doing all those flips, or action heavy moments, and the reaosn for that is because the story wasn't designed for those moments. IF they wanted to include them, the story needed to be altered a little bit for those moments to make sense.
Overall I'd say it's an alright game, but one of hte worse Metal Game gears, which isn't a huge insult since there is no bad Metal gear game and most of them are amazing.
