Community reactions what the comments are saying · updated 01/10/2026

This week in the comments

A quiet week (29 sampled comments), almost entirely about a Big Boss run guide for MGS4. The tone is grateful and technical: less about the collection itself, more about surviving its toughest sections.

Thank-yous for the guide lead the pack

~35% of this week's comments thank the guide's author or report a finished Big Boss run, with times from 2h21 to 2h51. Warm tone, no criticism of the game itself.

« Finally finished my BB run, first time on MGS4, definitely could not have done it without your guide. You made it look so easy 😅 thank you!!! »

Bike chase and FROG fights: this week's wall

~30% of comments concern the bike chase or the FROG fights: Solar Gun not recharging, smoke grenade tactics, using the drum can to knock guards out. Players swap tips.

« In ACT 3 after second bike ride section my solar gun didn’t refill😭 »

Fans ask for MGS 1/2 remakes

~7% of comments ask for MGS 1 and 2 remakes in the style of Snake Eater. An isolated wish this week, with no debate.

« Please Konami make remakes for MGS 1/2 the same way you made them for Snake Eater!! You’ve got the engine already built, just make the games!!! »

The smoking Snake loading screen is still reachable

~7% of comments mention the button combo that brings back the smoking Snake loading screen, rediscovered thanks to the guide.

→ see "The PS3 references", a recurring nostalgia
« 4:37 you actually can still get the loading screen with Snake smoking. When starting a new game, wait for the auto-save notice and immediately hold confirm with the shoulder buttons. »

Top reactions and controversies

MGS4 finally breaks out of PS3 prison

Dominant take
35 %

The most repeated theme since the reveal: 18 years of waiting, the "Kept you waiting, huh?" joke and disbelief at seeing MGS4 on Xbox, PC and Switch. Joy, nostalgia and old PS3 memories.

Portable Ops, Twin Snakes, Rising: the omissions that divide

Controversy
22 %

A collection many find thin next to Vol. 1. Portable Ops comes up most, then Twin Snakes, Rising and Ac!d. Many hope for a Vol. 3. Others say Ghost Babel and Peace Walker are enough.

15 % Enough content 85 % Collection too thin

No PS4, discs and price

Controversy
9 %

Bafflement at a Switch 1 release but no PS4 version, then anger at physical editions needing downloads and at a price seen as high for a mere port.

20 % Price and format fine 80 % Frustrated by PS4, price, digital

No MGO2, no purchase

Controversy
8 %

The missing MGS4 online mode keeps coming back, with some threatening a boycott. Fans call it the best online in the series but doubt it will return.

90 % Bring it back 10 % Not essential

MGS4's endless cutscenes

Dominant take
7 %

Recurring jokes about hour-long cutscenes and little gameplay. For many it's part of the charm; others worry about the time it takes today.

« Can't wait for that 2 hour long cut scene after that first mission 😂 »
