Yeah thats all trash how it changes the gameplay/boss battles, no arguments here, but I still like the silly cutscenes. I think people just love the original game so much they wanted to see the best moments with better graphics, the way the cutscenes are is how I rose-tintedly remember them from MGS 1. I'd obviously tell someone who expressed interest in MGS to play the original first, then the sequels and only TTS if they thirsted for more after that, telling them the negatives and positives of it.
MGS 1 is in my top 10 games, its formative for me and some of my most cherished memories, but I don't know why TTS is just not offensive to me, I can still play the original game if I want to, they bad work SK did doesn't devalue the old game for me.
I do hope they do a ground up remaster one day so I can see the original vision but tarted up. I don't want them to rerecord the voices again or anything, but I don't mind some small changes, I think art is a product of so many factors at that time that you will never, if ever be able to recreate the magic later on down the line, we've seen some great ground-up remasters this last gen but even those are criticised heavily for some of the changes, like Shadow of the Colossus.
So I just take the best things from what they make and enjoy it, its really a miracle anything gets made in the way the artists want considering the business aspect of gaming. I can get super immersed in something or just enjoy it on a purely surface level. I love The Thing (1982), one of my favourites of all time, but the "sidequel" that was supposed to be faithful and ended up having a lot of the practical work replaced with CGI at the last minute was a big letdown but it didnt affect my love of the 1982 film.
Anyway, rambling, not meant to attack you or say you are wrong, just saying chill out about it. Its still a really good game in isolation, just not a masterpiece, because most new players wouldn't necessarily have the prior knowledge to play out the boss fights in this way. I honestly just didnt think to use FPV or ledge hanging in TTS in the ways shown in the video though, even though I'd already played 2 beforehand, so my opinion is skewed by that.
