Probably my favourite game of all times.
When the real main mission opened up it blew my mind, that's one distant memory that will always stay with me.

Except there are some compromises, The End in particular is a completely different boss fight with the original camera. It's a real lengthy battle of attrition that really feels like a slow methodical sniper battle with plenty of crawling and carefulness. With the third person camera it's pretty much trivial because you can just run around until you just easily see him when they obviously didn't intend for him to be found without effort. In the original fight he'll be shooting at you from off screen and you might not have any clue where from, forcing you to be extremely careful and observant, crawling around and only peeking up for momentary glimpses in first person to scan the environment and try to get an idea of where he is.
I've played subsistence far more at this point, and overall it definitely is the best way to play it overall, but there are certainly some important aspects about the original intended design of the game that is lost when they slap a camera angle in that wasn't considered when designing the game. The End is one of the greatest bosses in gaming and I think a lot of the reason "why" is lost in subsistence entirely, you can still play it 'properly' but there's really no reason to when you always generally have an idea of where he is.
It's kind of like the ocelot fight in Twin Snakes, they threw the MGS2 first person shooting into the game meaning you can just bypass the intended way to play the fight in the ps1 version and just go into first person and shoot ocelot over and over again, in 10 seconds he's dead. Sometimes they just don't account for the way new features will interact with the original intention.

This is probably very true, for some sections of the game. But, for me, and as you said subsistence is the best way to play the game as a whole, i could not even reach that boss fight in the original game, because i had already dropped it.
So even if not the best way to enjoy that section, at least i could play it with subsistence.
Believe me, i was very very frustrated with MGS3 because i wanted to play it so badly, but i just could not adapt to the camera (that i had zero issues with when playing mgs2)
Nowhere close to the groundbreaking legacy of MGS1. Its the classic fandom favorite, but it relied on the great foundation that the Playstation original built.

Why can't Konami por this shit to newer platforms/PC.
I'm ready to buy it for a
Thank god for BC on Xbox so I can still play it today. Hoping it get's 4k enhanced someday.
Konami should release a 4k/60fps remaster of MGS HD collection that also includes MGS, Twin Snakes, and Peace Walker on modern platforms. I would've said MGS 4, but given how heavily it was developed to the PS3 Cell, I'm not sure Konami is willing to go through the difficulty of porting it to modern platform even though they should.
When the instrumental version of Snake Eater kicks in during the last minutes of The Boss fight.
My favorite game of all time. Kojima will never surpass this.
Yeah I've never had chills like that in a game ever. Almost a decade of build up being paid off in that scene. Can't think of any other game that has a legacy of emotion to draw from like MGS
Yup, MGS 3 is a masterpiece. Best MGS game and the pinnacle of Kojima's career thus far. The ending just wrecks me every time...
But you could.
I remember daydreaming about the game before it released and thinking that's exactly how it would be - an open-world - and feeling slightly disappointed that it wasn't; but falling in love with the game anyways just the same.
At least give a semi-linear/funneled, open-world MGS3 a chance is what I say👍
I guess what you mean is doing the world in one piece instead of separating it with loading screens? That could work. But an open-world like MGS5 or Assassin's Creed? I don't think so. There is no gain in making the world of MGS3 bigger or more open IMO.
Whether her character was good or not, the story and game were awesome.
Not my favorite, but easily my favorite MGS gameWhen the instrumental version of Snake Eater kicks in during the last minutes of The Boss fight.

Snake eater is so fucking good
Still in my top 3 of all time.. Couldn't believe how damn good this game was.
Ps. To hell with 'The End'

This game was hilariously deep, surpassing lots of games released at later generations. Its just insane what this PS2 game offered.
The footsteps washing away by the rain, shooting a hornets nest, blowing up food storages to lower enemy morale. Killing a boss by messing with the internal clock? Yeah. The shit you can do here is endless.
The End was a highlight for me, you can tackle it in many different ways.

It really is. So different from 2 but right up there with it in terms of sheer quality. One of gamings best villains, best endings, soundtracks, locations.
Masterpiece.
Masterpiece.
The End stinks and is a horrible boss-fight.
The controls are absolutely horrible, and even at the time weren't good enough for a stealth game in a post Splinter Cell world.
It's still the best Metal Gear Solid game and it's not even close.

Controls have always been an issue with MGS before V. But I kind of take them for granted. Even when I replayed 2HD it took some time to adjust but then I had a blast all over again. I guess its just how it is, mostly everything is tailored towards it. TTS added FP and I still enjoyed the PS version with its limitations more.
It's a fucking masterpiece and a timeless classic that you can talk about every single aspect of it for hours. I have watched its cutscenes for far more times than I would like to admit :/
From the amazing opening to the fanfuckingtastic ending, it was just peak Kojima. Let's hope he can achieve such greatness again.
Oh and the boss... *salutes*
