I played Twin Snakes back in the day without really knowing much of the series at the time. All I knew was that it was a remake of the first game with elements taken from MGS2.

So my question is this should I go and play the original Playstation version of Metal Gear Solid or am I good only having played Twin Snakes?

Question#2
Why are AI allies always nagging you to go faster?

I’ve been playing a bunch of different games lately, and they all seem to have 2 things in common. A) They feature collectibles. B) They feature AI allies who nag you incessantly to speed up while you’re looking for collectibles.

Why do developers think this is a good or fun idea? I know that dumb, bad, developers seem to think that having characters nag you about how urgent everything is helps build a sense of urgency (It doesn’t) but if you’re going for urgency why even put hidden collectibles in your game? Either you want people to search the environments or you don’t.

What is your biggest gripe about an otherwise great game?
