Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes on Gamecube: Part 1 (RetroTINK 5x-Pro + mClassic 1440p)
0Given the recent release of MGS: Delta and having played through 1,2, and 3 already. I figure its time I give this rare title a try. It wasn't cheap.. $110. I will say, I was not optimistic having played through the first section on a test run. The music is unsettling being so used to the masterful original, the brightness was way too low (Silicon Knights had this problem with Eternal Darkness as well) and the controls were wonky. I adjusted the gamma to match what this game looks like in Dolphin, got used to the controls, and started tolerating the music and I started to enjoy it. Having two pistols kind of breaks the game especially with them being suppressed. Should be a nice little jaunt...
All original games, no emulators. Please like, subscribe and thanks for watching!
Watch in 1440p for true quality!
Note: I know my longplays are longer than many on Youtube. This is because I play most of these games blind or have not played them in many years. This channel is more of a tech demo channel and not to be seen as the cleanest way to play through a game.
