Do people really say MGS's better than TTS?

 

yup, and I'm one of them, the first person view ruined a few boss fights, the voice acting was worse, and the cutscenes with snake kicking tank shells were far too over the top.  there are actually many that prefer it.

Playstation only owners do, they complain about things like having to press a button when you didn't have to do that before, ignoring the fact that it does a dozen things the original didn't with other buttons.  They also slate the voice accent changes, despite the changes also being kept for MGS4, but they don't complain about the changes in MGS4.

 

They complain about 3 bits in the game has become easier, ignoring such things like during the entire game the bodies now stay put and need to be hidden or a guard will find it/raise alarm, insted of vanishng like before, making stealth much harder.

 

The list goes on.

 

Typical double standard fanboy stuff.   It was newer and better, but it wasn't on the playstation system, so there is no possible way it can be good.

I had a gamecube and ps1 & Ps2 and I still felt that MGS was superior, as will many.  Your assumption that it is only Sony PS3 fans saying that is silly.

I'd say you should play it on the DS. I recently played the GBA version, and I didn't like the graphics too much. I think it's far worse than the graphics of other SNES RPG's like FF V and FF VI or Tales of Phantasia. It is said that the script is better, so this would be another plus. I don't know about difficulty or bonus features though.

I owned only a gamecube.....I thought the gamecube controls were horrible in TTS.

my dad felt it was superior I didn't.....there's obviously not just fanboy crap in this situation as even critics didn't like TTS more.

I prefer the translated Super Famicom version over both. The DS remake looks atrocious, in my opinion. Clean, stylized 2D looks vastly better than poorly rendered 3D. And the FF4 characters have no business using voice actors.

I'd go with the DS remake, it has cutscenes and other stuff.

GBA, 2D sprite are far superior to the hideous 3D graphics they used on the DS remake, also they rescaled the boss difficultly to make the DS version require a lot more pointless level grinding.

People say this, but I never had to grind in FFIV DS. What you had to do was actually think about the battles for a minute.

That's right, FFIV DS's boss fights actually required you to think in terms of strategy. More than FFXII, even. A shocking idea, I know, but worth playing for that alone.
