5 is a masterpiece, and it's the second worst metal gear solid.

Attempting to put MGS games in rankings is really trashy.. shame on all of you.

10: Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

It's not just the incredibly silly title that turns us off to this game. And we don't hate the change of pace -- Raiden's lightning quick sword skills make for a very fun distraction. But that's the keyword: distraction. Revengeance is a cartoony hack-and-slash game that strays away from what made the series great in the first place: the nuance in storytelling and gameplay. Where is the bigger message? It seems more like fanfare to us. Raiden was so badass in MGS4 that he left fans wishing he was a playable character (jokes on you, Raiden haters). But Kojima originally cancelled this game, and perhaps it should've stayed that way. Platinum Games did little with the opportunity they were given to comment on the aftermath of Metal Gear Solid 4 (Revengeance takes place 4 years after Solid Snake's final mission). Here was a golden egg: a chance to usher in a new era in the Metal Gear narrative with one of the most badass cyborgs in the game's universe. Instead, you get a heavy metal action game that couldn't stray farther from the spirit of the Metal Gear series. If all that cyborg phooey is the future of Metal Gear, we're going back into cryo-stasis a la Big Boss. In their defense, Platinum was probably given a set of rules and weren't able to tamper too directly with the Metal Gear story. Why make the game then? The cutting mechanic is pretty cool, though.

Same.

I just commenced the virtuous mission. I'm gonna play MGS3, MG1, MG2, MGS, MGS2, and MGS4 in that order.

I forgot about Ocelot meowing to summon his troops

Edit: maybe swap 3 for 1. But they are all within very small differences of greatness

I think the reason I like V so much is obviously the pitch perfect gameplay, but really I think it's the best directed video game ive ever seen. The complete lack of editing is astonishing

There are no cuts in MGSV. Every single cutscene is a single shot

In Training

And since the gameplay is all fluid camera motions as well, and cutscenes trigger in the field or mid-mission, if you never die MGSV is like a 70 hour single shot outside of loading screens/helicopter trips to MB.

I haven't played five yet what do you mean lack of editing? Like the flow in gameplay? Metal Gear's gameplay and attention to little details has set an unreasonable bar for ever other game I've played.

Edit: oh didn't read apparently. That's no small feat.
