5 is pretty darn different from the rest of the series. I'd really recommend you pick up MGS1 and play that first as well.

Don't be afraid to dick around in the tanker. There's a lot of cool Easter eggs and random interactions you can do.

Okay I am below deck, how do I grab people? The game does not really explain anything.

Also every time I aim I shoot, is there a way to just aim without shooting?

Keep in mind that game came out in the day of manuals.

I think you need to hold square while unarmed.

Edit: You can aim in first person mode. Is it triangle to get into fps mode?

So I beat Olga then I stopped for the night. One thing I find really funny is somersaulting down stairs. Snake just launches himself down and just lays there like he knocked himself out. I do that on every staircase. Getting used to these really weird controls. Not in love with the game yet but it's early, we will see. Enjoying it so far tho.

...but I do feel like game over after being detected is too difficult for a first playthrough.

it's doable, but it might make your experience more frustrating rather than fun, but I could be wrong.

What am I, a bitch?!

Nah, I like challenges like that. I am one of those people where if I get detected, I usually restart anyway in any stealth game.

Try playing GR Wildlands the mission where you have to get though a whole base camp without being detected to meet with Sam Fisher, now that was difficult.

The alert team in MGS2 is my favorite in the whole franchise too.

Yeah, the first 3 MGS games are a tight trilogy. Heavily story based. Should definitely be played in order.

Can you even get that game on xbox? Looking into it and I cant find anything saying that you can play it. I only see things for the HD 2 and 3 game which is what I am playing.

Oh lol, no PS1, 2, 3, Portable, Vita, or GameCube/Wii, eh? I'd watch scenes online then. MGS2 in particular is expecting you to have knowledge of the first game.

It's so dependent on 1 that you will be missing a lot by not playing it first. You CAN play 3 without playing 1 or 2, but 3 also expects you to be familiar with 2's engine and control scheme.

Yeah I never liked PS so I never owned one, and my wii is busted, so there is no way for me to play it without buying a new system.

Release square very slowly. KCEJ was all about analog in the PS2 days.

It's weird but it works if you do it right.

This is the Xbox version; no analog buttons. If I remember correctly, you have to click one of the sticks.
