I've been playing GTA SA on my PS2. That's how I originally played it back in the day, but since then I've beaten it a couple of times on PC.
The PC version notoriously lacks a bunch of aesthetics flourishes, specifically lighting effects, but also things like reflections, the color grading, etc. There's also some very subtle stuff like rain effects looking slightly different. Stuff like that makes me think of how much stuff gets lost in between ports, even if it's subtle. All those little things add up and it creates a completely different atmosphere.
Also, this isn't specific to the game, but there's something about sitting down to play a game like this on console. On PC I tend to be less focused, have a tendency to alt-tab, or just save and quit the game because booting it up again takes like 3 seconds, etc. whereas the old-school console experience really makes me settle in.

I'm playing Metal Gear Solid. This is the first time. I have only played Metal Gear Solid 4 as a kid and I thought it was really fun even though I never understood the plot. Nevertheless, I have always wanted to play through the whole series, and I am now finally making time for it.

>>63636Update: I may have to reduce my praise a little. I am still enjoying the game but the problem is it feels like they made it easier than the first one by quite a bit. Maybe it is just me being more familiar with the system but it feels like there's just been a decrease in the difficulty all around that is independent of that. I wish they made it a little harder to level up and gain money. Stealing stuff is incredibly trivial. You unlock a few chests everywhere you go in early game and then you can basically just steal anything with zero chances of ever being caught. You become basically invincible in battle too if you drink enough potions. I managed to max out my charisma stupidly early by using henry's lion's perfume and buying cheap clothes. Maybe I made a mistake by not choosing hardcore mode but I figured it would be really hard to navigate on hardcore without ever having played the game first. Not like you can chat up NPCs to ask for directions.
