mgs2-v-s-fix VS OpenRA

The re-release of MGS2. It contains new modes and extras. Not much to say here. Also, the skateboarding minigame is only in the PS2 release. The PC version is a port of the Xbox version so it has the same issues that port but can go to the highest resolutions since it's PC, by the way, V's fix is essential for this release, I'd also recommend the 60 FPS fix which makes the cutscenes run correctly at 60 FPS, there's also this cool mod which adds the third person camera from Subsistence available here.

I think you misunderstood my point. TLOU shipped in an inferior condition with many issues present. These issues such as shader compilation, texture pops and inferior CPU and GPU utilization led to a subpar experience. If Konami (or whoever is in charge of this port) does not execute properly - it will be a bad port. The MGS2 port for PC is notoriously known for being a shoddy port. Hence this fan made fix

For MGS2 I chose the PC port so I could use the S.O.S mod which let's you play with the 3rd person camera from MGS3:Subsistence. Make sure to install V's Fix as well.

Hi, I have MGS2: Substance for PC, and don't know how to make it run under Linux. Running my system's Wine install (8.6 Staging) as well as the latest Proton-GE on Steam (8.2) leads to a black screen for a frame, then immediately closing. This doesn't change with V's Fix. I can't find any info about running this on Linux through searching, so do you all know what would work, if anything?

PC with V’s fix.

Find the .exe files for the GOG version of MGS2 (it’s DRM free) and use V’s fix.

If you’re going paying it on PC make sure to use V’s fix.

Here’s the list of issues that GOG fixed for the MGS2 release. It looks like some of their fixes overlap with fan patches, but none of them were specifically incorporated with the release (like V’s Fix, which is compatible with the GOG re-release.

Recently, my friends and I recreated our old LAN parties. Went up to a cabin in the woods, brought some cheap network switches, and had everyone install OpenRA (https://www.openra.net/, open red alert), and had a blast, even with everyone on laptops (mac/win). You can still do this in 2024 and it's worth it!

After the movies, I wanted to experience Dune 2 again (the pirate sites have it, along with patches to make it playable on modern OSes or Crossover). It was arguably the first mass-market real-time strategy game. There's also OpenRA for C&C, Red Alert, and Dune 2K: https://www.openra.net/

I understand Square is re-making FF7 in a multi-part release over several years (not sure why it takes so long)? https://ffvii-remake-intergrade.square-enix-games.com/en-us/ Once it's all out, I might play through that again just for nostalgia's sake (and for the soundtrack, of course! Twenty years later, I still have Aeris's Theme stuck in my head from time to time)

Obligatory reminder:Red Alert,Command & Conquer, Dune 2000, Rebuilt for the Modern Era.

I recently found an open source version that has been fun (https://www.openra.net/).

You can import those from ISOs: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/Game-Content but the campaign is not complete afaik as it needs to be re-built in OpenRA: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/issues/4989 (I think this is the related ticket)

Alternatively OpenRA has a bunch of C&C inspired mods: https://www.openra.net I think this way is the easiest way to get a C&C like experience on a M1 Mac right now.
