message: So where exactly in the USSR is MGS3 set? I can't think offhand of any areas of Russia proper that would be jungle like in the game, is it possibly set in a satellite nation, is my knowledge of Russian geography off, or did the developers just take a bit of artistic license here?albrozdude 05:10, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

message: on the off chance that this is worth mentioning in the article: i was playing the game, and got to the bit where Snake is locked in a prison cell, and passes out as a result of injuries/falls asleep (can't remember, this was years ago). i saved the game, shut down and went away for a few days. when i got back i started up the game, but when it loaded, it was a different game, where all you did was control a player as he battles innumerable monsterish creatures armed only with a katana. after doing this for a while, the creatures surround the player and kill him. then it is revealed that the mini-game was actually Snake having a nightmare and he awakens to the prison cell.

message: I believe that a separate article should be created for the Nintendo 3DS version of this game. Several other 3DS remakes have their own pages (The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Star Fox 64 3D, and Super Street Fighter 4: 3D Edition all have their own separate pages. Also Snake Eater 3D has its own differences from the PS2 version (such as use of the touch screen and the new camouflage creation with the 3DS camera) that warrants a separate page. Richiekim (talk) 06:20, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for bringing the discussion to the talk page. In my experience, the proper progression of events is to first expand the section in this article until it gets long enough to split into its own article. As far as I could see, the info you included in the split could have been summarized in a few sentences and left here, rather than fork the info elsewhere. As for the other 3DS remakes, see WP:OSE. Each article should be considered on its own merits. In fact, I don't believe Star Fox 3D can justify its own article either and I'll be seeing to it getting merged back in.

message: At the risk of sounding pedantic, would it be possible to talk and organize a well written (and monitored) section (under the Reception header, possibly) of the critical analyses Snake Eater has had over the years, both of its narrative and game design? I say this not only to encourage the diaspora of game design, but also highlight and exemplify the supposed strong qualities this game has, evident by its strong review scores, and cultural legacy in and outside of the Metal Gear fan community. For being recognized culturally as one of the best games of all time (as said by the page itself!), I think talking of the game's complexities and artistic influences is important in establishing the significance of the title.
As for a source we could reference: Despite Youtube content being generally shunned upon by Wikipedia (with some exceptions), I think it is important to discuss exceptions or alternatives to providing efficient, academic, or well researched or valid sources through videos that are publicly watchable on massively reaching sites. As mainstream gaming journalism is less focused on editorial and analyses but rather news, I think George Wiedman's video essay (under the Youtube alias of Super Bunnyhop) of Metal Gear Solid 3 is worth discussing for potential citing given its researched, realized, and inter-textual nature that highlights the game's overall strengths as well as the possible influences creator Hideo Kojima had when developing the game. In other words, just because it's a Youtube video I absolutely do not believe it should be counted out as a valid source, potentially.
I'd like to hear genuine thoughts on the matter, especially constructive ones! All-Spice (talk) 22:46, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

message: Putting another part of my childhood on review, after Super Mario 64, but this is another old promotion that for some reason, no one has put in review.
*The lead is too short, as it doesn't bring up the game's development, awards, sequels, and re-releases.
*"Considered one of the greatest video games of all time"? I've only seen one best-of-all-time game list cited in the body, and other rankings are for games specifically released for the PS2.
*The citations and their formatting are a fucking freak show! There are so many sources missing author, date, and other information credited in those sources, and many citations are formatted incorrectly, such as not italicizing name of works and having the name of the works, for no reason, being in the title field.

thread_title:  Featured article in need of review 

message: 'Setting' (under 'Plot' heading) is extremely short, only two sentences:
"Snake Eater takes place in an alternate history of events, set within the Cold War during the 1960s. The game's story acts as a prequel to the Metal Gear series, exploring the origins of several events covered by previous games, as well as being the first chronological chapter in an overarching story of Big Boss."
I believe these few details should be added to the 'Story' section in an effort to make it more concise and the article look cleaner.
Something like, "In an alternate version of the 1960s, during the Cold War--" then continue. The bit about it acting as a prequel to the series is already explained near the top of the page: "and serves as a prequel to the entire Metal Gear series". What do you think?
