MGS, which is your favourite

[HotShooter]

MGS3 is my favorite because you have to sneak through the levels instead of running through them. You had to identify each part of the ground to see which would hide you the best to succesfully sneak and food wasn't just rations and stuff but animals that you could also use to distract the guards. Slicing throats was also easy and fun and I loved all of the easter eggs, changing conversations, multiple pictures of different hot girls, and having to go through the Sorrow's special fight which made people like myself wish they didn't sound alarms just for the pleasure of killing everyone foolish enough to show up.

I didn't like MGS4 nearly as much because most of the reasons I listed were not found in the game. There were some funny moments but not as much and octo camo made things much easier and there was only like 1 hot girl. I did like all of the guns given and the first 2 stages because you got to help fight with others from the shadows but I didn't like the rest of them.

I also played MG The Twin Snakes which was a great GameCube game and MGO+ which made me regret not getting MGO instead. In all the series is quite good and Snake Eater is still in my top 5 favorite games list.

I thought MGS4 was a pretty good movie.

MGS3 was the best. It just had the best everything in my opinion. MGS4 was certainly a very fun game, but when they changed the controls up, they made the game feel like less of a stealth game and more of an action (mgs3's controls were definitely difficult, but they forced you to use stealth - the controls denied you the ability to rely on guns for the entire game, which you can do in mgs4). The bosses were also way better in mgs3 and the story far less convoluted. The fights with The End and Big Boss are two of my favorite gaming moments, to be honest.

I would like to have said Twin Snakes, as that built upon the gameplay of the original Metal Gear Solid with aspects from MGS2 as well as updated the graphics. However Twin Snakes had a few glaring flaws.

First and foremost? They replaced Grey Fox's voice actor. Words could not describe my unbridled fury. I still have memories of the first time I fought Grey Fox and he uttered the words "clashing of bone and sinew" which to this day I can still hear echoing in the back of my head. I thought his voice actor was bang on absolutely perfect.

What did Twin Snakes do? They got rid of him. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!

Secondly: The cut scenes. Snake's a badass super soldier extrrrrrraordinaire, there's no doubt about that. But when he pulls of moves like this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXTPS5pfeFI&feature=related] which would be better served in a Devil May Cry game, I have to object. Bad Snake. Bad.

There are a couple of other glaring flaws in the game (I'm fairly certain Grey Fox wasn't the only replaced voice actor), but those were the two that stuck in my mind as I played through it.

And thus, overall, it has got to fall on MGS1. A game which was the first real 'stealth' game I ever played. I've not played Metal Gear Solid 4 and MGS3 is a very close second for what it did, but my vote has to go to MGS1 for all that it is and all that it inspired.

I've played all of them except for MG: Solid Snake(Because it wasn't released in the US), and I have to say that Snake Eater is my favorite.

Because it made me cry.

Actually it was, in MGS3: Subsistance. I have it and have played them all. To OP, you forgot Portable Ops on the PSP which surprisingly is cannon. But anyways, my favorite was Snake Eater. It was the sneakiest (and therefore most rewarding), and easily had the best boss battles. I hold up the sniper battle between Snake and The End as one of the best boss battles in gaming history. All the characters are extremely well done and I think have stood the test of time. I could go on for days lol.

While I'm glad MGS4 tied everything up neatly it just didn't feel them same. Too much action, WAY too easy with the use of the Mark2. Otocon and Raiden actually annoyed me and tarnished my memory of them.

Thank you, I do not acknowledge Twin Snakes. Specifically for those two reason.

Silicon Knights thought Snake was a ninja I guess. And Grey Fox went from being truly twisted and torn to having laryngitis.

I'm playing acid^2 atm is which quite an enjoyable change to the previous games but I'd have to say after playing MGS years ago and finally playing its successors years later (in order) MGS2 was the best.

It might have been from all the expectation I had from the first game but it seemed the most immersive, why it isn't a movie yet I don't know, even a subtitled Japanese b-grade would be worth watching!

 

[quiet_samurai]

The first one for the original PS.

 

[ThisNewGuy]

To be honest, MGS3 is one of my all time favorite game. So yeah, MGS3 is my favorite MGS.

 

[NAKEDsnake2010]

MGS3 is the milestone in the series. But thats not to discredit any of the others. The fight with the end on extreme took me three hours. MGS2 was amazing as well. Though havin Raiden added only made me mad.

 

[Thunderhorse31]

Personally:

MGS = MGS3 > MGS2 > MGS4

3 was so perfectly awesome, but the original is still just as epic. The bosses were much better in 1 and 3 than they were in 2 and 4 (especially since the bosses in 2 and 4 were pretty much rip-offs of the original FOXHOUND); I think Liquid has the most memorable lines of dialogue in the whole series.

I thought MGS4 was a pretty good movie.

I disagree, movies tend to flow better and only use a few cliches here and there, instead of a zillion. I enjoyed the game, but I think they tried to do TOO much at once.

Would anyone else have been happier if Snake died? I mean, the man can't go 2 minutes without coughing up a lung, your body gets stressed at every turn, and you're falling apart at the seams from FOXDIE - yet you manage to survive a microwave tunnel, a beating from a million robots, and then a perfectly healthy Ocelot wails on your face for a good minute while you lie helpless. BUT WAIT! You get a second wind, overwhelm your obviously superior enemy, and live, thanks to a convenient miraculous "newer FOXDIE" that saves your life. Even if we go along with all that, like the MGS-loving sheep that we are, wouldn't it have been great if Snake really DID take himself out? Wouldn't that have been more realistically sad? Nope, you live, and ALL of the interesting characters in the series (Liquid, Big Boss, Ocelot, EVA, Vamp, etc.) all die. Fantastic.


Again, I LOVE the entire series, and it's likely my favorite in all gaming... but 4 was the most disappointing. 1 and 3 FTW (tho it's cool if you love 2 as well).

They are not games...

They are movies.

My favorite movie was MGS3.

 

[kickin wiing]

The Twin Snakes (MGS 1 remake) for the Gamecube. I played that over and over.

 

[Dudimus]

Metal Gear solid 3 was the best by far. I thought that it was the perfection of the metal gear formula, and the camoflougue system was brilliant and fun.

In second comes Metal Gear solid 1, and then 2, and then four. Its not that I didnt like four, its just that there were only two acts of legitimate metal gear solid gameplay, the boss battles were a huge let down, and there were waaayyyy to many cutscenes and waaaayyy to much talking in it. However, I think it was the first MGS to finaly get the gunplay rite, if at the expense of the stealthplay. And Im not gonna lie, the octocamo was a pretty sweet idea.

 

[Del-Toro]

I played MGS 3 Subsistence, I also played MGS 2 and a bit of 4. Subsistence was just awsome, kept me hooked all the way through, and is therefore my favorite.

 

[Xyphon]

MGS2: Get stuck on the frickin' swimming bit with Emma, gave up.

How in the hell do you get stuck on such an easy part?

I've played and beaten MGS 1, MGS 2: Son's of Liberty and MGS 3: Operation Snake Eater
My favorite was Snake Eater because it incorporated stealth even more than the other 2. I haven't played 4 yet, but I really hope I'll get to.

 

[Duhri5]

Snake Eater by far, just had the most fun with it, although there was one thing that bugged me, you couldn't kill young Revlover ocelot when he was knocked out, I mean, if you did, you wouldn't have to play the next few games really...also I liked the cinematics where Snake would check out Eva's boobs

 

[elricik]

MGS3 is definitely my favorite. Not only did it have the best storyline in a Metal Gear game, it boasted all my favorite characters. The Boss is easily the best character in the Metal Gear Universe. Also we got to see a young cocky Ocelot. Eva was also the best female companion love interest (screw you Meryl.) Also Volgin made for a truly evil antagonist, screw Liquid Ocelot, when you get to the end you will see why I hated Liquid Ocelot.
