Cool to hear someone new to the series say that it's their favourite. Some social pressure has built over time to not say that this is the best one.

Metal Gear Mk II is a call back to Snatcher. In fact there is a level in Meal Gear 4 where the whole level is a call back to Snatcher. Where you are in a disguise that looks like the main character in Snatcher "Gillian Seed" Long story short, Snatcher for the Sega CD rules.

@@adamantium4797 Sometimes boring and downright badly written cutscenes. Immature and just weird humor. Horrible graphic style cause of the era specific coloring and bloom that makes me want to vomit. Gameplay is good, but there's A LOT to dislike. Oh and piss poor framerates on many occasions.

MGS 4 should have been a PS4 title. The gameplay is SOLID. The octocame is the BEST equipment in any stealth game. It might be one of the top 5 itens in gaming history

MGS4 was released unfinished, rushed to boost PS3 sales after it's lackluster launch, that's why there is so little gameplay. It was not the initial intention. You are right, it is a travesty that such great gameplay was wasted. MGS4's gunplay was never topped.

MGS4 wasn't unfinished. It just focused a lot on cutscenes in order to wrap up every single plotline.

@@idakev Why are you talking about things you know nothing about? MGS4 was released unfinished, even back before it released there were rumors circulating that it was being rushed. The powered suits you see in the opening of Chapter 2 were supposed to have several encounters throughout the chapter, instead they show up only at the escape on rails sequence where they are just window dressing. The Russian PMC is completely missing from the game even though it's commercial is still in the game. Act 5 was supposed to be a whole new environment to explore, instead it's literally just one room before the boss fight and corridor sequence and a bunch of repeating corridors to pad it up.

​@@deathtoraiden2080 correct the game was supposed to be much longer in the Shadow Moses incident what's supposed to be much more a great exploration as well Indian we got the game what we wanted but the game wasn't very perfect that was supposed to be online content as well as online sop multiplayer aspects still I got a PC and I still enjoy this game and there's some platinum trophies if you really want to push it I haven't gotten it yet but still it was a great game for it's time very similar to Halo 3 if you know what I mean very rushed as well when it comes to the campaign at least

I finished this so many times, I'm not good at games, even though i finished the souls games before they were popular, and some games on hardcore. But this one I finished on Liquid-Easy without getting spotted once, nor i killed even one person, with that i got some bonuses. and then with those i beat MGS4 on the hardest difficulty. Most importantly, I had fun. and my sense of fun makes me want to play God Hand Again.

The game play here really was great! I only wish they had made VR missions mode ala MGS1 and 2. That would’ve been so fun to just play around with the mechanics and use all the weapons. I suppose MGS online was there to replace which I get. I spent hours on that and it was great fun but a VR missions mode still would’ve been nice.

mgs4 feel like it was made for the fans of the series, specifically for the fans that played the games from the beginning through the years. If you played mgs1 in 98 and all the games after, you had a special experience playing mgs4. Snake has gotten older, just like the player, and he is having flashbacks just like the player…shadow mosses chapter is a massive nostalgia bomb.

Yes people are not smart enough to differentiate between the game having too much cutscenes vs the game has too little gameplay. Unfortunately the first kind of people are why the phantom pain has basically no cutscenes and the story is basically through freaking cassette tapes.

By the way, MGS1 is the best, and MGS4 is second best, that is how I always felt. I played MGS2 last, and MGS3 pissed me off with it's goofy tone, no more grim scenarios nor depressing atmosphere, it's like MGS3 is Kojima's apology video for MGS2, which no one liked on release, Just like Silent Hill 2 was hated at launch, and for many years forward.

Totally agree with u bro. No game should have an abundance of cutscenes. A movie is about showing not telling while a game is about playing not showing. Naughty Dog are good examples of cutscenes that feel like rewards. When u get a cutscene it should feel good in story progression. MGS is just full on Kojima self indulgence.

Act 1 and 2 I don't mind because in a lot of ways the game is just a better MGS3 but you barely get any time to enjoy it. Act 3 is a trailing mission and an on rails shooting segment followed by a shitty boss. Act 4 is you sneaking past robots which aren't as interactive as sneaking past humans and a mech fight in my stealth game. Act 5 is two hallways and then gay sex the boss. I believe that this is the worst game in the series and it's not even close simply because you barely do anything in it. It has the worst boss fights in the series up to that point, it chugs constantly which makes the improved controls you mentioned pretty much null void and the story dies by its tropes and retcons.

@@danfortuna1984 Yeah, I well kinda understand fans of the "lore" in it, but I just highly dislike control schemes, writing imo is really, really bad and I just don't get why pretty much all of the games go for awhile like looking Hunt of the Red October movie and all of the sudden throw stuff like smoking chimps or in MGS 5 there was that really immature moment where was it Faith character is rolling essentially naked in ground. It's like going for that October to watching suddenly episode of Laurel and Hardy. The mix _really_ doesn't work for me. There's though one Kojima game I really enjoyed and that's Sega CD Snatcher. But even that fell, luckily shortly, for teensy boy humor. MGS... Meh. Like I really downright loved Splinter Cell games, but they don't throw weird stuff in them. It's like do humor or be serious, but don't try to mix them constantly.

@@grahamwade5932 Well i do. Peace Walker and V completely ruin the series characters and story, i can't even put into words what a travesty it is, especially (significantly so) V. People gush about the gameplay but i don't understand that either. Yes it has the best player moveset in the series but the game is 90% generic objectives in a generic open world, and 50% of the game is the same missions recycled again. Enemy AI still hasn't topped MGS2, the game has no difficulty options so it's brain dead easy POS, a lot of the unique intricacies of the gameplay were replaced with generic nu-gaming mechanics, gunplay is a downgrade from 4, bosses...LMAO, and don't even get me started on the stupid Pokemon that somehow turned into the main gameplay loop of MGS. Oh and the soundtrack comes in 2 flavours: Licensed so who cares? This isn't Vice CIty, and absolutely generic. They wrote Sins of The Father, a great song and then called it a day.
