yea, but luckily, it was patched so you could install the entire game at once.

Which felt equally awful when I first played it. Think it took nearly 3 hours before I reached any sort of gameplay with the install and the cutscenes at the start.

My brother gave up on playing the game when it first came out because we were on different acts and it was too annoying having to re-install every single time we played.

Ironically those breaks in between chapters felt necessary than a standard loading screen that's just a still image with redundant tips.

My UMD copy of WWE All-Stars back in the day took so long to load that a kid who wanted to try it out on the school bus was disappointed because the match didn't load before we got to his stop.

Ah yes, insanely long load times. The hallmark of consoles, to be sure.

And another thing:

Why did dmc 4 take roughly 10-15 centuries to install on ps3? What was with the early ps3 era with these games? Mgs4 took forever, dmc4... shit was crazy. Nostalgically so

I got really annoyed because I spent a month grinding out all the emblems. It was just before they announced they were adding achievements to the game. I was so salty.

Which would have been a fine design choice if it was permanent, instead you now have to waste more time installing the whole game again with each replay than you would with just a normal one and done install.

Is the gameplay even good? I never hear anyone talk about gameplay, just the sillyness and it being inconvenient

The thing about the gameplay is that it only really shines in Acts 1 and 2 and it's actually really good there. Act 3 is half a tailing sequence and half an on-rails shooter with a boss at the end. Act 4 is relatively low action and stealth is not needed, ending with a couple of pretty cool bosses, admittedly. Act 5 is a very VERY short stealth sequence and then the end of the game.

It's more that the experience of playing it after having played the previous games feels pretty satisfying considering all the story elements.

Yeah, Acts 1 and 2 are good. The rest of the game is just carried by the story after that

MGS3 is pretty well balanced on both gameplay and story, IMO.
