Reyold12: So it sounds like Konami did just enough work to get them working on modern machines, but left a bunch of old issues alone. Are the fan patches vital to a good experience, or is it more minor things it fixes?
Actually, the best way to play these games is on PSOne and PlayStation 2. The best versions. However, if you just have a PC and the old consoles are nowhere to be seen around you, these are really fine ports. Nothing as bad as some players here seem to think.
There are old PC ports so they need some twinkling and patience while configuring settings, but hey, every old PC game here needs that. So there is no difference between GOG's treatment for MGS and for example Anachronox.
