So.

I've had the hankering for a while to replay the MGS series, since MGS = awesome. I was thinking of maybe doing it chronologically this time (MGS3, MGS1:TS, MGS2), but then decided it'd be better if I started at MGS1:TS and went up because it'd be hard to go from MGS3-level gameplay to TS-level-MATRIX MOVES LOLgameplay.

So you know, I used to be able to get through MGS2 on hard mode without killing people without much of a problem. Played through MGS3 on normal mode without killing anyone (including bosses) and almost never getting caught. I wasn't all that amazing, but I was pretty damn good, better than I am at most games. (Which isn't saying that much, but. XD;)

I haven't played in a while, but I still put TS on normal mode when I boot it up, start playing through the first room....

...........IT TAKES ME LIKE TEN TRIES TO GET THROUGH IT WITHOUT BEING SEEN AND NOW I CAN'T GET THROUGH THE NEXT AREA WITHOUT GETTING SEENSKDbaj,sdfakjsh

OH, HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN. T____T Anyone got any "get-good-again-at-MGS" tips for me? D:
