Honestly, the biggest issue to me is more audio related. The sound in all the games is somewhat compressed which is sometimes more, sometimes less noticable but imo MGS1 got it worse with cracking noises and other weird audio glitches during cutscenes that aren't in any other version.
The game did not have some features that one could expect on a pc game. they are adding it.
It's really worth it, the game looks like the old days, if you want a version with better graphic buy the GOG version, I have both, and I'm happy for both purchase. In this version not only you have some lore etc but to change language, is HUGEE!
Have fun!
The problem is that they're bare bones and a little worse than the PS3 versions (ps1 classic on ps3 for 1 and the Bluepoint HD versions of 2 and 3) just mediocre, not terrible, but its not worth the $60 asking price. With analog controls not working for mgs1 until I think 1.4.0 and sound effects being worse since M2's emulator not handling the ps1's Reverb well and the pitch of some sounds being altered, probably a result of the emulator.
2 and 3 have badly compressed audio and 3 has questionable sound mixing. MGS2 has a bizarre problem where during the climax the game will have a "disc read error" and no one knows why it happens and it's completely random. Some get it 100% of the time, some don't get it at all, and and some have a 50/50 chance it'll happen.
Add on top of that, the ps2 games are at 720p with no options to increase it. If it's to keep the DOF effects from breaking, I can see that. But Bayonetta's PC port has the same issue and if you really want the DOF to work, you could just make the conscience decision to lower it to 720p yourself and still have the option for higher resolutions without a mod like MGS HD Fix.
Solid 3 is the better port of the three. But the sound mixing issues and the incorrect gamma is its biggest drawbacks at the moment.
The sad part about this is that they did actually fix some legitimate issues the old Bluepoint HD Remasters had, which makes it more frustrating. Some parts of this collection have genuine effort put into them and with other areas you can see how it was hastily pushed out the door without any polish.
I don't need 144fps, better textures, or some other obnoxious enhancements. Just a port that fixes all of BP's flubs to have the best version of these games, but I guess Konami didn't have the heart to do it. And then charge $60. I thought that price would be for the effort to restore everything back from the BP ports besides the skating mini game or Snake vs. Monkey. Maybe I'll get 3 from this winter sale, but I'm still hesitant on the idea. I can play MGS1 and the MSX games elsewhere. MGS2 is a weird one, I'd prefer the BP version other than the old PC port but that Disc Read error is mad suspect.
The worst part in the old ports for me was massive slowdown in certain areas in MGS3 if you triggered an alarm. The base right before you fight Ocelot for example. Now as far as I know this only affected the PS3 version but it was the one I had and it was kind of a bummer. At least that is gone now. As well as the slowdown in cutscenes with Volgin's lightning effects. No idea if that too was only a PS3 issue though.
Then the collection is for you, it's hard to make a game that was made for console into using a mouse effectively.
Basicaly it's not really that the port it's bad it's a cover to get revenge on Konami after kojima got fired by them, between "Konami fired kojima don't buy these games" and "this collection is thrash" the second one is more effective, but all the reviews are not just about this, some people don't do their own research so they'll believe youtubers and such without searching for the truth thus they'll blindly reviewbomb, some even believed that this was a remastered collection.
Basicaly some people wanted this collection to be in 1080P/4K/8K because emulation can do it but Konami here went for the OG experience with some QOL content and some books, pretty much plug and play so back in the days you didn't insert a disk and could change the resolution, a proof that they went the OG way is MGS1 being on the default resolution like back in the days, so pirates who use emulators call Konami lazy for that but if Konami sold the games just like if it was emulated like their emulators they'll also call them lazy, so better ignore them.
In general these people are ignored because they don't understand much, like this collection didn't just came out on PC thus it wasn't specifically made for PC, a remastered collection would be pointless since MGS DELTA is coming next year (MGS3 but with better stuff) so some wanted a remastered collection for 60$ (or less) but again good luck trying to reason with them.
It's even more sad because people did ask for Konami to port the games to PC and when they do they get some people mad lmao. For 60$ I'm pretty happy about it, my MGS 1 2 & 3 died years ago and since we are on PC I'll be happy to get a randomizer or maybe some mods that can change the difficulty, so for now I can play without issues, since I didn't pirate the games I don't know how it look like on emulators and I'm not interested to see 3 more pixels on screen, it's even worse for kojima fans because this change how he saw the games so they make no sense, it actually make him look bad because emulators can do a better job than him, sadly since they have no reason they go like this: If it's good = It's thanks to kojima, if it's bad = It's because of Konami/someone else.
Finaly someone in one of the topic wished that CAPCOM would bring the old RE games to PC, I'd buy that trilogy even if it's not in 1080P, heck I'd prefer if they sticked to the OG resolution and just like with MGS1 added multiple versions and a master book to learn about lore and secrets, well young people prefer graphism over gameplay nowadays so....
Hope that help.
PROBLEM IS.... THE MGS PC PORT FROM 2000-2002 HAD ALREADY SOLVED ALL THESE MENTIONED ISSUES! That version was a honest experience, without any of the Playstation flaws, tailored made for PC. All negative reviews are valid, and whoever says otherwise never came to know or hear about what this lame PSX emulation released for Steam should had been. No, THIS IS NOT FINE! THIS EMULATION IS A SCAM!

No achievements on MGS2 & 3 so honestly it's not hard to see that you are trolling, you'll refund the collection after necroing and trolling around and......... well I dunno what your goal is especialy since MGS1 GOG is far from perfect otherwise you wouldn't need the patch that fix the GOG version.
If you had done some research you would have seen that this is the PS1 version so that doesn't hold up. ;)
Therefore?
*FACEPALM*
Anyway, to everyone else who cares. The other games in the collection are fine versions, since they are higher resolution versions of Bluepoint's work on the HD Collection (mods can already unlock the res), but this one, despite some really, really cool extras, looks like ass and has severe input delay. It loses in the visuals and gameplay department to the GOG PC version with the fan launcher. If you get this one, it's for the extras, the others are cool but this one, not so much. I recommend the GOG version over it.
You've admitted that you've bought the games 30 minutes ago, even people who did not have played these games can understand that you have not played them, you have no achievements and less than an hour so how can you say a game run fine when you have not completed it ? You could have some crashes and such, thus you've proven my point.
