DO NOT BUY Metal Gear Solid Delta： Snake Eater

Hello, welcome back to a new video.

So recently I've been playing the newly

released Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake

Eater, and as a massive fan of Metal Gear

Solid, I knew I just had to play this

game.

Unfortunately, as a remake, it is

extremely bland, boring, and lacking in a

certain kind of luster.

It is very disappointing, to say the

least.

So first of all, it's basically just Unity

5 slapped over the old game to make it

look shiny and new without really

addressing any of the main problems that

Metal Gear Solid 3 had in the first place.

It's basically just a remake where they've

made it look nicer than the previous

version and they haven't really made any

massive fundamental changes to the

gameplay.

So my main problem with this remake is,

first of all, why did they choose Metal

Gear Solid 3 of all of the editions of the

series to make the remake about when they

could have started with Metal Gear Solid 1

or 2?

Why didn't they make Metal Gear Solid 1

remake with the Unity 5 engine to make it

look nice?

Because Metal Gear Solid 1 is definitely

superior to Metal Gear Solid 3 in every

single way.

Metal Gear Solid 3 is probably one of the

most boring versions or editions of the

game because it just takes place mostly in

this brown and green dull-looking jungle.

I just find it really weird and random why

they decided to choose number 3 to start

the remake off with when you could have

started from 1 or even 2.

Even Metal Gear Solid 2 was way better

than 3.

So Metal Gear Solid 1 and 2 had great

writing, great dialogue, interesting

characters, and an interesting backdrop— a

really cool military or industrial

facility where you sneak around— compared

to Metal Gear Solid 3 where you just sneak

around this jungle, which is very boring

most of the time, and then you've got some

facilities.

And the characters and enemies in Metal

Gear Solid 3 just aren't really as

interesting as they were in the first or

second game.

In Metal Gear Solid 1, you had cool

enemies like Psycho Mantis and Sniper Wolf

and Liquid Snake.

They're really cool villains with really

cool voice acting and dialogue.

In 3, you just have Volgin, which is just

this big beefy guy who shoots lightning,

who's very boring.

And okay, you get Revolver Ocelot, but

he's like a younger, more annoying version

of himself where he's not really cool when

he was older.

Like, in the first game, and you don't

have cool characters like the cyborg ninja

guy, and you don't have other characters

like Otagon, who was a pretty interesting

funny character for comic relief.

And it's just like all the other side

characters in the game are a bit boring,

and even the main female character, the

one who rides a motorbike, is no Meryl.

It just seems like everything that made

the first and second game really cool

doesn't exist in Metal Gear Solid 3.

For example, the overdramatic dialogue

with the Colonel over the codec and all

the constant plot twists, stuff like, oh

no, the DARPA Chief is dead.

Oh no, the Secretary of Defense is

actually bad and he's taken over the

operation.

All these cool little plot twists and

dramatic stuff didn't really seem to

happen a lot in Metal Gear Solid 3, and

you're just sneaking through a jungle most

of the time.

And even the codec doesn't look as good as

the original codec.

I really like the original game's codec

where you had like these anime-illustrated

portraits of the characters and only their

mouths move, kind of like an anime when

they're talking.

And it just had a much more interesting

art style.

And the green kind of green hue of the

codec was also kind of a nice touch to it.

And it had like this static kind of sound

to the audio.

I don't know, Metal Gear Solid 3 codec,

you just see Snake crouching and it's like

greenish, so it's not very good.

And as for the combat, well, the combat

isn't really its strong suit.

I never really felt like the gameplay and

the combat in Metal Gear Solid has ever

really been very good.

It's always just been kind of like you aim

your gun at the enemy and shoot, and then

they introduce first-person mode.

And I don't really like first-person mode.

I think it kind of breaks the immersion

and it ruins it.

Because it's not a very good first-person

mode anyway.

It's not like it feels like a proper

shooting game really.

It just feels like the first-person mode

was slapped on as an afterthought.

I never really thought the gameplay in

Metal Gear Solid was the reason why you

play these games in the first place, and

they haven't really made the shooting or

the gameplay mechanics much better.

They haven't really introduced new

mechanics or made it smoother or

introduced like a better cover system.

The CQC combat has always been really

boring where you just spam 3 buttons and

he does a punch-punch-kick combo, or you

sneak up on them and you kind of grab them

from the neck.

You don't really have different combos or

different styles.

The CQC combat has never really been very

in-depth.

It's been very shallow, and you just run

up to the enemy and spam these 3 moves and

knock them out.

They don't really block.

You can't really counterattack the melee.

It's just very shallow.

Also, it's way too expensive.

£70 is nearly $100 for a remake.

Maybe if it was a brand new original game,

it could be worth £70, but for basically

what is just a reskin of a very old game,

I don't think they should be charging £70.

I would not want to pay £70 for this game

just because it looks more modern and it's

got Unity 5.

The graphics look okay, but they're not

really going to blow you away if you're

used to Unity 5.

And the gameplay mainly just revolves

around changing your camouflage and eating

random animals that you hunt outside,

which I think is a really boring gameplay

mechanic.

I don't know why they thought this whole

camouflage system would be so interesting.

I know Metal Gear Solid is supposed to be

about stealth and stuff, but Changing your

camouflage on the go is just kind of

silly.

I mean, what is he doing?

Is he taking all his clothing off and

getting naked and then getting changed

into a different outfit?

How is he carrying all of these outfits in

his backpack anyway?

It doesn't make any sense.

Or is the camouflage just applied to his

current clothing like paint on his

clothing?

It just doesn't really make any sense, and

it's not even an interesting gameplay

mechanic anyway.

So the eating thing is also really

annoying.

To heal your wounds, you've got to hunt

animals or find animals and then I guess

you kill them and then put them in your

pocket and then they heal you.

I think this whole eating stuff is just

really boring.

I miss where it's just rations.

I don't really think it makes the game

more interesting or anything.

And it— the whole dramaticness of the game

doesn't seem to be on the same level as

the first or the second game.

Also, the boss battles are really boring.

Their boss enemies are really boring.

You've got this guy who just shoots out

bees, which is just really stupid.

And then you've got this other guy who's

just an old man who's a sniper.

So they just copied Sniper Wolf again but

made him an old man.

It's instead of a hot woman, which is

boring.

And then you've got Volgin who just shoots

lightning and punches you with lightning

fists, and he can shoot bullets at you

with lightning.

Why not just use a gun?

So unfortunately, for those reasons, I

cannot really recommend this game.

I have to give it a 3.2 out of 10 as a

remake.

And also, it's way too expensive.

£70 is way too much money for a remake.

I would not even spend £70 on a brand new

game, let alone an old game that just has

improved graphical fidelities.

Also, the gameplay is just kind boring.

You basically just run around and you've

got a few guns like handgun, machine gun,

missile launcher.

The guns are very boring and you just

shoot the enemies and it doesn't really

take much skill.

There's no skill really involved in the

gameplay and the sneaking is just not

really as good as Splinter Cell.

I think Splinter Cell did a much better

job at the stealth genre than Metal Gear

Solid has ever done.

In Splinter Cell, you can do cool things

like hiding in the shadows and climbing up

poles and hanging upside down from the

ceiling and dropping down on enemies and

grabbing them up from where you're hanging

from.

And it just— it had much better stealth

mechanics.

I like the way you can kind of climb up

the side of buildings, up a drain pole and

hang down.

It had much better stealth mechanics.

In Metal Gear Solid, the only stealth is

basically you just hide in a cardboard box

or you crawled around in a bush.

There's no parkour stuff like climbing up

things or hanging down stuff.

You just change things and then you change

your clothing and then you hide in a box

and it's kind of boring.
