MGS2 is one of my favorite games. Easily my favorite in the series. 3 is a close second though.

I kinda agree. It's the least fun of the series for me to play even though I love everything about its story and presentation

peace walker had me switching back and forth a lot on if i loved it or hated it, its weird

did anyone here actually get really into it and beat everything, its probably cool to be that person

Never played 4, so my ranking is :
1 > V > Portable Ops > 2 > 3 > Peace Walker

The MGS4 character models are godlike. The only thing that looks dated are the environment textures.

I'm playing on Extreme and being super careful sneaking through Act 1. If the whole game was like this it would be the best MGS

Yeah, definitely. i mean, ill be the first to admit one of its biggest drawbacks is its hard for Casuals to get into. It's probably for the best to stick to MGSV.

It was a ton of fun, despite not being canon. I preferred the gameplay to Peace Walker. Peace Walker is the only MGS game I've played that I simply did not like at all. All the others were great.

I wish octocamo was an unlockable in V. It was fun to crawl around in 4 and find the cool patterns.

Just noticed something.The guards in 4 no longer need to radio in alerts, they just happen if they see you and you don't take them out within a second or so. I thought this was a downgrade from the last couple games, until I realized that because they're all connected by the SOP so I guess it makes sense. Another part of the strange new world Snake is dealing with.
