An improvement of an already sensational game. It’s got the stellar gameplay that made the previous title shine, as well as tossing in some great camera control and a few other modifications.
Actually being able to see what's in front of you without having to stop and enter the first-person viewpoint is a godsend.

Subsistence goes a long way towards remedying the few problems of ["Snake Eater"] with a brand new camera system that literally rejuvenates the gameplay. The online mode adds a ton of replay value as well, and has dozens of options to keep you returning to blow away friends late into the night.
Trying to wrap my brain around every aspect of this package has proven difficult, because each feature has such a distinct offering that it almost needs to be reviewed separately.
Metal Gear Solid 3 returns with a vengeance in this special edition, which significantly improves an already great action adventure game while adding a solid new online mode and some great extras.
With this new online mode, it's much easier to admit that you like Metal Gear Solid 3. [July 2006, p.93]

Metal Gear Solid 3 was already a perfect game. Subsistence takes a perfect product and improves on it.

Non c’è niente che io non abbia amato in questo gioco tranne che alcuni filmati troppo lunghi (Normale nella saga metal gear solid) ma ho amato davvero tutto e molto emozionante dall’inizio alla fine SOPRATTUTO.

Having never played Metal Gear Solid properly(only tried MGS1 as a kid), I wanted to see what all the fuss is about. And since this is chronologically the 1st game in the story, I started with this.
Sadly, too much focus on stealth, it seems. Not sure if I can knock the game for that, since it's supposed to be a stealth game? Although not being able to pick up enemy weapons doesn't make sense. And the trial and error gets kinda dull, when you get spotted and a small army of enemies comes down on you, and you have nothing to defend yourself with, forcing you to just start over, because it gets pretty stupid and silly at that point. You start the game with only a knife and tranquilizer gun for attacking, and have to spend a pretty a long time like that, it seems. Having so much health, even on HARD difficulty, is also pretty weird. I think you have to repeatedly get hit for well over a minute to die. If this is HARD, I wonder what the lower difficulties are like...
Snake's voice acting is also a bit overdone. Can't tell if his sarcastic or something every time he talks.

10/10? A masterpiece? Best game ever?
Who's everyone rating this game like it's a masterpiece?
To me it's mediocre. It has its peaks. Sometimes it's enjoyable. But as others have said it has too many poor design choices to be good or above that. There's nothing special here. Story is just cliché Stealth TPS with boring conversations adding nothing to the main plot. Combat is mostly unbalanced. Enemies are either too easy or suicide level challenging. It's painfully obvious how the developers made soldiers almost impossible to kill to force people into fighting monsters, so reviews wouldn't say "It's like Goldeneye 007."
Mission payouts are close to 0. What you're gonna do with 50 Coins? Might as well loot everything and sell that for better profit. Perhaps you earn more later. I might figure that out some day.
There's alot potential here. The design of the world is impressively detailed (especially rural locations), but that's pretty much the only impressive aspect.
Back to my question. Who's everyone rating this game like it's a masterpiece?
I know who. It's kids who aren't old enough to know the true masterpieces of gaming, and those who love it just because of the genre of setting and/or gameplay.
To me it's nowhere close masterpieces such as My fav cuz im smart.
I mean... masterpieces such as my fav cuz im smart
