I did a metal gear scanlon kinda thing with a buddy of mine when the mgs collection was just released and we wanted to start properly at metal gear 1 on normal which we both hadn't played before and we made it to where the jetpack guys where without a walkthrough and after that we kinda never went on with the metalgear marathon, I did play through the whole series again more recently by myself though(must've fininished mgs2 at least 6 times since it came out or something hahaha) but I still haven't gone back to metal gear 1 + 2.
