the remake kinda sucks and I've been skipping the cutscenes, just focusing on a no kill run where I find the ducks and frogs. I'm a pretty big fan of the original having played through it like 20 times at least. I like it so much that I was able to really enjoy portable ops.

some of my nitpicks off the top of my head:
- all of the audio is worse than it was on ps2 which really makes it feel cheap and shitty to me. I hope someone replaces it all but I doubt anyone has taste enough to even notice this.
- the art style is very bad at times making it look like a bad ps3 game and overall it's aesthetically worse than the original game, this critique includes most of the animation work(which is what made the cutscenes so good in the original imo)
- the performance dips in the weirdest locations for no apparent reason and it ruins any immersion I might be able to grab just because it's so silly to have my gpu start getting hot when I'm in some tiny corridor. like the scientist lab right before granin or in the dark cave(with shitty textures) leading to the pain. it's so dumb lol
- I'm getting these frequent graphical glitches on the ground, it reminds me of the PCSX2 emulation of MGS3 like 15 years ago if any of you remember that
- the controls are worse than they were on many of the previous games, this was definitely not made in-house like the shills were implying. holding people up feels buggy, there's lag when you use the cardboard box with that stupid animation they added, there's a massive delay when climbing up from the hanging position, moving around feels floaty like a typical unreal engine game, the camo menu doesn't feel responsive like you'd think it should
- the visual effects genuinely look worse than the PS2 version. like water splashes, the torch(and the light if casts on the environment), and the night vision making it harder to see in that dark cave than without it lol. I also hate how the tranq tracer looks
