Bit of a longshot but does anyone know how best to configure Nethersx2 using a G8 controller to get the aiming and firing right? Can't get the mapping right with regards to sensitivity and aiming down sight/firing using the triggers.
Thanks for the set @WilHiteWarrior

Mastered. Took me longer then I thought, but it was a damn good set. Had some trouble on certain sections like 1st place on VR missions. Thank you for the set!

Is there a reason the dog tag achievements don’t unlock the lower difficulty versions? Is there anything gained from replaying the entire game on easy and very easy just for one single achievement, if it’s already been accomplished on extreme? Generally curious

One, the game not only tracks an entirely different set of dog tags between difficulties, but the amount varies as well as the names on the tags. Two, some guard positioning varies as well. If memory serves, the dog tags in the hold of the tanker on Easy difficulty are actually harder to get than some of the higher difficulty ones. (May or may not be misremembering)

Yes, as you can see in the Dog Tag Viewer in the Special Menu, every difficulty has its own record of Dog Tags you can obtain in each and every difficulty.

Based on percentage of dog tags you get different gadgets in mgs2, which you won't be able to use in retroachievements set to not invalidate the save, but it's still important that you unlock them all, and that is by gaining every dog tag for every difficulty up to extreme. This concept of getting dog tags is also integrated in twin snakes but without the gadgets rewards, but still sectored between difficulties.

Every Difficulty changes the cocky guys around in mgs2, and higher difficulties add more enemies to the game, but if you got all dog tags say at hard, you will have really no problem doing it on lower difficulties because at the very best you will have less enemies on various rooms and they are also more foolish to play with.

The implementation of such mechanic is underwhelming in twin snakes compared to mgs2, but is still one of the funniest activity to do in both games.

How many playthroughs can this be done in?
JRodslegend 14 Oct 2024 21:23
Minimum of 5
CarloAndrea97 14 Oct 2024 21:36
@Mooseh

6 Minimum, but realistically 7 as you would want to separate the All Dog Tags and Big Boss run at the Extreme difficulty in 2 playtrhoughs.

So you will play ideally all difficulties for dog tags:
Very Easy
Easy
Normal
Hard
Extreme

Then you would make a big boss run at extreme without caring for dog tags.

And finally you end up with a E-Extreme difficulty run.

Ah and that is if you meant the story mode related achievements.

If you plan to master this, do know that this game has various modes aswell outside of the story one.

The Snake Tales, Boss Survival and Skateboarding modes require a minimum of 2 playthroughs each, even if you will spend much more in Boss Survival.

And then there's all the VR Missions which are very consuming.
Mooseh 15 Oct 2024 04:46
Thanks for the detailed answer. I will give it a go.

I moved all the 1st place VR missions and skateboarding cheevos to a subset. Sorry if you were in the middle of it. If you first place stuff in the main set you can request a manual unlock and show proof that you did them and I'll grant them
WilHiteWarrior 18 Dec 2024 17:20
No problem. I've kinda wanted to do it for a long time but hesitated because I kinda hate the way our subset system is currently handled

I never could enjoy any of the MGS games besides the first PSX game and MGSV..
It's hilarious cause everyone seems to hate 5 yet that's my favorite one.
Sure the ending felt quick and lame, but it still was fun especially if you play the way I play it. Once discovered it's game over.
I tried re-playing 2, 3 and peace walker..
Idk I just can't get into it..
The story also being so confusing and convoluted also is a turnoff.
CarloAndrea97 26 Apr 2025 20:01
@RuSsile

Watch out as Peace Walker is 5 and V is litterally the letter V not with the roman number meaning, it would be the 6th main entry in the saga that one.

I was having issues with the dog tags, shaking down guards without firing weapons. For the pressure sensitive/analog buttons on emulator. Noting my solution here in case its helpful. Using PCSX2. Instead of remapping aiming and shooting to trigger buttons, I mapped L3 to the Pressure Modifier "key" and configured the Pressure Modifier Amount to be 1%. Then i can hold aim with square, and if I click in the left stick it lowers the gun so i can release square without firing. Hope it helps, cheers

I think boss survival as Snake should give a little bit more points than with Raiden.
You get less weapons, against RAY dodging the missiles is tight with Snake fat rolling and the last fight is a pain in the ass with only fists
CarloAndrea97 8 May 2025 15:08
@Freedfox

Unluckly next to 25 there would be 50 pts which is just too much. I would find more balanced if it was 15 and 25 to keep the disparity but then a boss rush at 15 would feel underscore.

I think 25 for each currently is a good choice considering the pts selections available, but I totally agree with you that snake's run is a little more difficult to manage.

Perhaps known to veterans of this game but I didn't know you could have have +1 alerts to your score if a camera sees you even if you go into a door before it goes into alert mode regardless of no alert mode being turned on in the top right before or after the loading screen.

Good thing I found out when just doing one of the Snake Tales and finding out at the end. The only thing that came to my suspicion was the above and from checking the rich presence it turned out to be indeed that after testing it on purpose.

Mastered, what a journey
