[Khanjima]

Did I overlook it's mention, How come every NES game and 1-3 are included but not MGS4

There are actually a couple other games no on PC other than 4 that people kindof want, so all of them will probably be in Vol. 2.

It's only Vol 1. There will likely be three volumes.

The remaining titles are
Metal Gear Solid: Ghost Babel (locked to Game Boy Color)
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes (locked to Gamecube)
Metal Gear Acid (locked to PSP)
Metal Gear Acid 2 (locked to PSP)
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (locked to PSP)
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Plus (locked to PSP)
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (locked to PS3)
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (remastered but only currently available for sale on Xbox)
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (only on Xbox and PC)
Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes (On most hardware but not Switch)
Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain (On most hardware but not Switch)
Metal Gear Survive (On most hardware but not Switch)

So you have seven games which aren't available for purchase anywhere. An eighth which is only available on one console. And finally an ninth which is only on PC and one console before you have all of three other games in the series which are widely available out of the 12 which aren't in a Master Collection yet. Vol 2 is likely to let people down since there's almost certain to be 3 Master Collections and some titles will be omitted. Were it up to me, I'd put Twin Snakes, Guns of the Patriots, Portable Ops, Portable Ops Plus and Peace Walker in Vol 2 with Ghost Babel as the bonus game since Konami like doing those. Vol 3 can be both parts of MGS5, Rising, Survive and both Acid games as the bonus titles.

I have a feeling most won't buy Vol. 3 if thats the case on pc because a bunch of those games are already available on Steam and so there's no point in rebuying and no one wants Survive. Game is worth maybe 3 dollars and I don't even know if its actually playable since I could've sworn konami shut the servers down.

That's not the biggest issue with 4 honestly (4 can run on the PSNow pc app just fine so it isn't affected by the PS3 itself). The biggest issue with 4 is all the product placement in it including it in cutscenes. Editing cutscenes isn't exactly the easiest thing there is.

You realize that’s an emulator app essentially right? It’s a streaming app dude. It’s not natively running on your PC. Porting it natively would require a lot more work due to the PS3’s (highly advanced for the time but overly terrible way it needed to be programmed for) architecture.

I'm still playing Survive on Steam. It's a decent side story to explain the worm hole tech in TPP and other random stuff. It's not a masterpiece, but it's fun.

Umm so basically Metal Gear Survive actually takes place in the future. Medical Nanomachines got basically infected with a virus that turns people into some kind of hive mind. What looks like zombies in the game. Well there's a lot of lore more lore there but basically in the game there's a bit of a time loop situation, but I'll just say you send one of the main characters of Survive wholes a kid you rescue in MGSV back in time to stop the events of Metal Gear Survive from happening in the future through a worm hole. He brings the data back with him so when Big Boss rescues him the Diamond Dogs learn about it and use a simplified version for the warp fultons basically.
I realized I'd have to do like a full break down on a lot of the story so even though it was still pretty wordy it's still not explaining all of it, just putting it a bit simply.
