I have finished the game again this time unlocking everything. I believe this is the only Metal Gear Solid of the four I have played that has no requirements regarding the difficulty you play in regards to obtaining everything, but perhaps the first doesn't either.

The Kerotan you have to shoot in the chase sequence with the Shagohod are a pain, even if you know where they are. In particular one of them had to be sniped while moving in a very short timeframe. The directional mic is almost necessary equipment here to make sure you've hit the ones far away.

The tsuchinoko snake is also a pain, because you have to catch it in a specific area using mousetraps (I don't know if another way is possible). You then have to keep it alive until the end of the game to get a specific uniform. You lose everything in the tortune scene and doesn't get any food back when you get your equipment, so the tsuchinoko will have spawned somewhere in the area you came from when you get your equipment which is extremely easy to miss as well.

I was not aware before that there were three different snakes in the flowers where you fight The Boss named Snake Solid, Snake Liquid and Snake Solidus. Of course they all taste outstandingly.

This game has insane replay value (as all Metal Gear games have) I almost want to make another run immediately, but it's time to move on to the fourth game.

Now, when I played 4 last time also more than 10 years ago, it was not s***, it was the s***. It was huge and I believe my initial opinion of MGS3 > MGS4 > MGS1 > MGS2 was a popular one. All four were loved and it seemed MGS2 was usually at the bottom of lists, being the most controversial one. This has seemed to change since then. One thing is that MGS2 has aged extremely well, perhaps by being more relevant than ever, perhaps also because people have forgotten that the promotion tricked us regarding main character. Another thing is that it seems MGS4 are a lot less liked now than it was at the initial release so... why exactly?
