So I finally played this again after a few years. I remember being totally confused by it, but now all seems clear and I can fully appreciate this game. Its not as shitty as I initially rated it, still I prefer MGS3 and MGS.
Anyone knows what's the difference between MGS2 and MGS2:substance ? i played both and didn't see it

Just the addition of VR missions and stuff.
MGS was followed up by MGS: VR Missions (MGS Integral in Japan)
MGS2 -> MGS2: Substance
MGS3 -> MGS3: Subsistence, which added online play
Substance is a real word, but what the fuck is a Subsistence? I think Kojima started to run out of ideas at that point, not applying that to Portable Ops, that's for sure though.

that's what i've been wondering myself, I thought it was my vocabulary that was lacking. Anyways i'd love to get my hands on subsistence, is that multiplayer online ? or 2 console network ?

lol you guys have never heard that word before?
subsistence = a means of surviving
example: I can't subsist on donuts alone...I need coffee too.

Subsistence is multiplayer online. When it was first released it was $30 USD brand new, got it at Best Buy. What's REALLY cool is that the original Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake are included on the 2nd disc. The first Metal Gear had been released before on the NES but this is the 1st time that the real Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake has even seen a US release, since Metal Gear: Snake's Revenge is a totally different game and non-canon to the storyline. MG2 Solid Snake is the true sequel to Metal Gear.
This is personal favorite MGS cover art.
