- CORRECTION: You can hold x to skip cutscenes on PC, it requires setting the core affinity to 0 and 1. You can also hold F3 (on PC) or start (on console) to skip cutscenes (but not FMV cutscenes) and go into a pause, which pauses IGT.

Correction, by playing with a single CPU core, you can hold X to skip multiple cutscenes on PC - Hry
I've owned this game for 21 years, *FINALLY* I can play it!
Congrats
Your time has come
Go forth and conquer the world, warrior. 🔥🔥
Finally after all these years I got all the mainline games of the series! But I never really knew how to play hahaha
I remember a while back I got just a little ways into MGS3 on Vita but that’s about it.. I really can’t play these to save my life for some reason
what? the manual came with all this shit xD everyone knew how to do this back then, well guess its never late to learn something.
I played through this whole game and didn't even know it was possible to choke guards.
Have to position it right without being too close or the alert goes off
Never bothered to do it too much. Messing with guards when you don’t have to usually leads to alerts. Then again, killing them is literally the only way to get rations on Extreme difficulty.
@@tradne85 One of my favorite things to do with choking them is to choke them and drag them somewhere else, it makes it so easy to deal with one enemy while avoiding others. However I do hate how sometimes they will start an alert regardless.
you can choke the guards while running up to them while they're walking away from you
@@dwaynejpeterkinmore you just have to not but touching anything while tapping Square as fast as you can. Everytime I’ve screwed up was cuz I was using the d pad while trying to start the choke
Damn, i didn't know you could lean when in first person mode. I thought it was something implemented in mgs2. Thank you very much
I just started playing/streaming this today and I had no idea I could choke guards or throw them! I was wondering what that weird square shoulder shrug move was. 6 hours in and I'm just now learning this! 🤦🏿♂️😂
God bless you and this channel
This deserves 100k views at least ASAP
Thank you so much, I had no idea how the controls worked. This video is worth a subscribe.
wow so on pc full analog stick movement is basically impossible.
I thought I was just configuring the controller wrong. thank you my good man
So is the keyboard then mandatory? Just curious if u figured it out. I'm trying to give this game a go but it really fails to explain the PC controls
@@therabbi9848 Actually I got my DS4 working through bluetooth and DS4windows as an Xinput device. I set it up this way and configured my controls on the in game menu. I can't use the D pad for movement though I can use full analog stick and looking/aiming movement. You might be able to do both but idk. Honestly it's very configurable.
@@iankorney7257 same. DS4 works well enough even without the d-pad. The game thinks you're using a playstation controller anyway.
This was a hell of a guide! Thank you.
Dude thank you so much, you can not know how bad I suck at this game. Feels like I’m missing history.
I only ever played mgs4. I recently got a ps1 and a bunch of top notch games and I just started mgs1. This tutorial was so helfpul! I'm already excited to play mgs2
I wasn't born yet when MGS 1 came out so I got the original for PS1 so I can play the classics, and I was having a rough time in the FIRST STAGE. I'm too used to stealth in say Far Cry games or Dishonored and MGS 1 feels old in comparison especially in the control department. Gonna take what I learned here to play the game properly.
Did you rike it?
If you haven't played any Splinter Cell games, I recommend you try them. They are challenging and require patience. They aren't as cinematic as Metal Gear and the story takes a back seat. Best one is Chaos Theory.
*pay attention to the audio to know when to let go of ex*
*to die quickly, go prone*
srsly tho, learned a lot abt this game here, thanks!
Thanks I looked this up bc Im playing on ps2 and I couldn’t use half the buttons, but I switched controllers and it works great! Thanks for this video!
Hey bro, thanks for the guide. Info really came in clutch for the fox codename
glad it helped!
Starting for the first time this game on my ps3 cfw... Firts 10 minutes and it was very hard because i didnt knew how to play xD. Im gonna start again tomorrow after watching this video AGAIN.
Really amazing i cant wait until tomorrow
Excellent info- Thanks much!
I kno i'm late tot he party but thanks a ton for this video ! I got plenty of physical copies of MGS1 but really didn't wanted the hassle of playing it at 20fps on my PS1 soi recently installed duckstation and i'm playing it on PC, it's crazy good and your video helps a lot ! I'm kinda surprised you don't explain how to shoot while running though ^-^
czcams.com/video/hpKmOkB6qjE/video.html weapons tutorial here
Thank you so much!!! I'm new to this series so this really helps!
Came looking just to learn how to throw and knock out enemies. I learned a lot of more interesting stuff.
First time play through, always known about it, and watched people play it, and played 3,4 and 5
I would love one of these for mgs2. I'm just so bad at the game (hd collection on Xbox in particular) and I would love to figure out the controls haha.
I just deinstalled it. The controls are so bad it almost wants to make me play Survive
@@despacito4668 dude you just deinstalled the best mgs game ever created lol, did you finish it yet? if not then you need to
@@higgs135 my guy. The game itself is prob. good. The console controls (xbox) are absolute cancer though.
@@despacito4668 It’s basically the same as PS2 and PS3 but a few actions are different thanks to the lack of pressure sensitive buttons but to some that may be seen as an improvement.
@@despacito4668 how bad are you at playing video games lmao, even the controls on this game are simple to understand without a guide
Thank you ❤
9:55 ladies, you know what you're in for.
JJ was here to watch the video Plywood
This is still missing something, technically! When you grab an enemy, if you just hold circle, you can drag them around. If they struggle you need to mash square a couple times. If you do that for long enough you'll _actually_ just choke them out temporarily rather than breaking their neck.
when I hit or grab him even from behind him, the alert message appears
Same it’s so hard to get it right
Nice vidio
Nice
Unfortunately the master collection got rid of the 360 degree analog movement, they just bound the d-pad buttons to the stick.
9:00 proof MGS is good for you - manliest game ever builds muscle💪
I assure you, this is how you can get a repetitive stress injury LOL
When you hold the menu button and it makes "No Item"'s slot be further away than it typically is, does that only work after cutscenes or can you do that in standard gameplay as well? I'd check it myself but I don't have my copy at the moment, and I'm pretty curious. E ven though I've played this game for hours as a child, and picked it up again a few times, I've never finished it, nor understood why guards popped right back up when unconscious, and I'm excited to play around with some of these, although I'll keep the speedrunning tricks, like skating, out of a proper playthrough, especially until I finally finish the game for the first time(I've been tantalizingly close before, but corrupted data screwed me).
Thank you for the incredibly well-made video, lots of info jam packed into those 15 minutes - the title is perfect too, it made me immediately click. I see videos for other games, something like, "___ Beginner Tips" and sometimes miss really good advice because I think it'll just be treading old ground, or "Advanced Tips for ____", stuff like that doesn't ever make me want to click that specific video first compared to others. "How to Control MGS1 Snake (Controls, Guards, and Techniques) is so perfect, and the specific phrasing and calling him "MGS1 Snake" makes it give a more modular/overall technical vibe before it's even clicked on. Between that and the thumbnail, I knew right away that this was going to deliver, and it surely did.
Anyone who has read this far on my needlessly long-winded and stoned-ass comment, I hope this new year treats you well, and is, and stays, kind to you all.
If you finish the entirety of a consumable (grenades, etc.) and then menu, it can alter the inventory positions.
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad it can be used both by newcomers to the game and speedrunners, as that was the goal of the video.
@@Plywood Sweet, good to know, thank you for the response!
And I gotta give credit where credit is due, you definitely achieved that goal - have a kickass year mang, thank you again
When you go up behind them they don't care but when I do they kill either detect me or while I'm holding the button it doesn't knock them out
You have to be delicate when you approach from the rear to choke. You can't hold the square button to knock them out, you need to choke them multiple times.
i skip cutscenes with shaking on the dpad
This same video but with someone with a deeper voice would be great.
otacon is that you ?
How do I do this but in pc please
I am playing MGS1 on PS1. How to quit game to the main menu? I press start button and I get the pause screen with the name of the area i am in.
3:52
Do these tips still work on twin snakes version?
No, Twin Snakes plays on the MGS2 engine and should be considered on its own
Your voice is similar to Otacon
Could someone tell me how to edit control inputs on PC? It simply refuses to let me map the controller buttons I want, im using a switch pro controller
how to stick c4 to wall without hugging the wall?
Barely approach the wall in front of you, don't push forward (in the direction you are facing like towards the wall as an example) too much or you'll hug. Instead lightly tap until you feel good about your position, being in front of the wall, and then push the square button to plant the c4
I just learned this a little while ago as I was playing the game over again and also didn't know til I tried it
I don't know how to drag an enemy on pc (on a vr mission) because i make 2 steps and the enemy faints
the playstation controller have a presure system on the buttons, so far I know the metal gear games are the only games that actually use this system, what you are doing wrong is that you are full pressing the square button, try slightly pressing it when you grab a hard so snake can hold him without chocking him but becarefull that snake can´t hold them forever.
@@capscaps04 GTA games use it too
i think ill need to take two-three days to learn and rebind the controls, its a bit ass, and its ruining the experience for me
Does the original controller with no analogue sticks work with this game?!
yes dude.
Is this the ps3 version? If so how do you move with the analog stick?
hold the ps button to change into analog mode on ps3
Finally...The Boss to surpass Big Boss himself!
Do you know how can i walk and shot?
Hold square and x
@@Plywood thx
How to get stealth in this game ?.
Beat the game and submit to the torture. Otacon will give it to you
@@Plywood thanks bro 🙏😃
Hardcore of easy
bought my copy s while back. And I'm waiting for VR Missions.
I got into Metal Gear thanks to Brawl.
I know for a fact Nikita IS in this game
Can I do C4 bomb shenanigans in these games as well?
like attach the C4 to someone's back? yeah

I still can't figure out the correct distance to choke. I constantly alert guards. 😩
One body length away, basically
How do u answer a call
Select
@@Plywood oh my God thank you my friend I'm on Xbox one more question when you're choking somebody from the behind how do you do a 10 times to kill them do you just keep tapping
Yes that's correct
Does this apply to sons of liberty as well
That's a different engine, no.
I keep trying to sneak behind the guard and choke him but he sees me before I can choke him how do I not get caught sneaking behind
you are either coming too close and causing him to turn around, or coming too close and creating an alert. be directly behind the guard, or use the method shown at 04:40
@@Plywood Thank you
4:41
How about weapons ?
How about VERY EASY mode ?
Ok, but how TF do you use an item???!!!!!
Like rations? Open inventory, select the item in inventory, press action button while the inventory is open.
I growed up playing this game and seen so many people struglyng with the controls is like surreal to me.
People referring to the controls as “clunky” confused me a bit. They felt fine to me.
Umm when I press circle it shows on what floor i am how many weapons and items i have and something about my stance i guess?
Wtf did I do
record it!
Wtf did you do indeed
Came here after rage quitting from the PC controls. I guess I should stick to the PS1 version
i think you can use a PS4 controller on pc. there's a tutorial on youtube w/ mgs2
@@nectarium8760 you need a program called ds4 (if I remember correctly) it allows you to assign, customize, and auto Bluetooth connect your controllers to your pc. This is required for the ps4 controllers to run and allows you to even use a USB cable as well
I didn't know choking or leaning existed also analog stick does nothing for me. Just finished the msx games and in alot of ways this is way less forgiving and they weren't easy games.
This can’t be real
its weird that old games had better (or at least way more fun and interesting) controls compared to modern games lol.
I think the controls were in metal gear solid 1.MGS 2 Big improvement over MGS . MGS 3 had better controls ( 2nd one substance or whatever name. Mgs 4 were ok. But mgs 3 were the best.
@@SolidSnake334-47 mgs 2 and 3 had terrible weapon controls especially for newer players it has a unique gun control system like you must hold the button to aim the gun and then press the action button with the exact same button in order to shoot which feels like you're holding a real gun, I'm pretty much used to it
play rain world, it has a bunch of secret movement options
Please, answer me, PLEASE!!!!! HOW....TO....USE..... RATIONS....ON... PS VITA!!!!!! I've tried everything!!!!!
Hold item button, select rations in menu, press circle. Keep rations out until you take death damage and automatically eat them, alternatively
You sound like the nerdy dude who gives him advice. Did you do that on purpose?
Otacon
@@user-ek2xg3ps5s I actually know that now, I've since gotten way more into mgs 😎
@@athenian221 Oh true, I didn't notice that this comment is one year old, my bad
@@user-ek2xg3ps5s oh I was just laughing at how little I knew before. Not as in trying to say you're wrong. I'm glad I got into this series I was missing out .
@@athenian221 That's also true, I remember always hearing about it but not diving deep into it before a year ago
Mgs 1 on ps4?!?!
HOW?!? PLS
probably HD collection if I'm correct
Higgs no
Hd collection is playable in ps4 through ps now
he's playing on Emulator for tutorials.
Speed-ruining makes Mr.kojima mad... enjoy the inmersion, the game its plaged on details just for that.
Well, what was the point of BIG BOSS rank then?
@@psxVEVO Finishing the mission whitout being uncovered + doing it while not killing any of ur clone unaware brothers that are genoma soldiers?
@@piopioporopopo9711 And finish the game under three hours, you‘re supposed to skip everything in some way.
@@psxVEVO nanomachines son
Uhhhhhhhhhhh........
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😔
