A gamer playing Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 online has encountered a specific issue that appears to only affect Steam users. Despite this annoyance, it is unlikely to diminish the anticipation of Metal Gear Solid fans worldwide eagerly awaiting the collection.
Despite encountering minor obstacles like this, gamers remain excited about the future of the Metal Gear Solid franchise. Since the release of Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain in 2015, there has been a lull in activity, but the recent announcement of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater and the introduction of this collection signify a positive direction once again.
Redditor TonyAbyss reported an issue with the compendium they purchased on Steam. The titles of the games in the collection are too long for Steam's default user interface, making it impossible for players to identify the game they're launching. Stretching the width of the Steam library is a possible workaround, but it's inconvenient to do so for just one collection. One suggestion made was for Steam to allow custom titles, but it appears this feature won't be implemented anytime soon. Players can buy individual games from the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 to solve the problem if they only want a single game. However, those who want the complete collection will have to tolerate this issue for now.
PC gamers who purchase Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 might be disappointed because it lacks some fundamental features expected from the platform. It was recently revealed that the collection doesn't support mouse and keyboard on PC, necessitating the use of a controller to play. Fortunately, these issues appear to be easily fixable, especially considering there are still months before the collection is scheduled to be released. The hope is that Konami will take into account the early criticism from the community, as they simply desire the best possible compilation of games.
While eagerly anticipating the release of Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1, gamers are already speculating on Konami's next move for the franchise. A leak regarding Metal Gear Solid Collection Vol. 2 has surfaced, revealing three games that are rumored to be included in the collection. This has sparked speculation that the fourth game in the franchise may finally be released beyond its exclusive availability on the PS3. The accuracy of this report remains uncertain, but if it proves to be true, fans of Metal Gear Solid can expect exciting developments in the near future.
Mark your calendars for October 24th, as Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 will be launching on PC, PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X/S.
