I'm caught up on Metal Gear Solids aside from 4, which I do not have the patience for now.

I really enjoyed the gameplay, although I thought there were a few too many forced shoot out bits

every part of MGS4 where your sneaking is premo poo poo,. but the non-cutscene parts where you arent sneaking are kind of gay.

I know how he feels.
The splitscreen fight with Raiden and the Gekkos wasn't done very well and Arsenal Gear is really narrow compared to the rest of the maps.

France and Shadow Moses were cool areas.

I thought that sneaking through active battlefields in Act 1 & 2 was really fun and unique. I wish more stealth games had gameplay like that.

That feel when you realise that some people were children when the GameCube was out.

I remember trying to convince my parents to get me a GameCube because I had turned 8 and was convinced I had come of age to receive my birthright of owning one.

I remember buying a GameCube with my adult man's salary because I was a fully grown rear end man at that time.

I wish the gameplay parts were longer, but I guess that's what MGSV is for.

I loved Twin Snakes but it wasn't until the first controllable section of the game that I realized it wasn't MGS2 on the gamecube but a remake of MGS1 and I was even happier because I never got to play MGS1 because I didn't have a PS1.

In college I bought a used PS2 just so I could play MGS 2 and 3.

Twin Snakes makes Solid Snake into the same person as Raiden in terms of physical style and that really undercuts both characters imho. I second that both games have merit but if you only play one in your life I think it should be the original.

I watched a friend play it when I was in middle school while I played Pokemon.

I like the fan theory that twin snakes was just a VR training mission that raiden was doing

He's the main villain of Peace Walker who casually mentions that he's retroactively responsible for almost everything that happens in MGS3, which makes him one of the most plot significant antagonists spanning the entire series.

I do not remember that part, I just remember his ridiculously stupid name.

The only thing I remember about the Peace Walker story is the final boss, Strangelove being a dumbass character and when the guy from MGS3 who tried to shake Snake's hand in the White House appears in the war room in PW and talks poo poo about how he's still upset about it 10 years later.
