Predator stealth camo, a cyborg ninja, a guy with telekinesis so powerful that he can literally levitate, a Hind gunship shooting down F-16s, a witch who deflects bullets, a guy who can make Tommy guns out of bees, bipedal nuclear-armed tanks, and the above swallowing and regurgitation of a pack of cigarettes are all okay, but tossing a grenade through an Abrams' main gun, PSG-1 ballet, and using a Hellfire missile as a stepping stone isn't?
I really don't want to delve back into the 20+ year old rabbit hole of Twin Snakes arguments - they have not changed in that time. I think both versions have merit, but the execution of a lot of stuff in TTS just felt off to me. It's a good game, and if for some reason someone never had access to the PS1 original in any capacity, it is a valid way to experience Metal Gear Solid.
I liken it to the Star Wars special editions. There are changes that I legitimately think are for the better. But for every good one, there's two bad ones, and another change that's different for the sake of being different.
