As I pointed out to ToriJ, it's not like I feel MGS1 is crap, I just don't have as much fun with it like I used to, I mean when I can literally walk around guards (like almost touching them) and they can't see me because they have no peripheral vision I feel there is an issue. It just wasn't the magical experience for me the last time I played through it as it was back in 1998. That's not to say it wasn't still fun but the newer games have spoiled me. I have mixed feelings about the FPS targeting in the the next two games as well but I grew to appreciate it more after MGS3 Subsistence cause the over the shoulder camera control sucked the difficulty out of the game and I was annoyed to see it stay in the series but what can you do?

You shouldn't take my opinion so seriously though, just because I feel it aged badly is not an objective statement of it's value, it was just the only game I can think of where I don't enjoy it as much as I used to but still loved. The majority of badly aged games I could list and most people would agree with me on are largely games that were never good to begin with. I mean Evil Zone has aged terribly as a fighter but it was a terrible fighter to begin with, regardless I still love it. MGS1 is my second favorite MGS, only behind MGS3 and it's largely because I just don't have as much fun with it as a game.
