Poll: Favorite/Best Metal Gear title? (fixed the poll)

[Mr. Gency]

4 is the best game of all time.

Hands down.

Well whadya know, opinions CAN be wrong after all!

Seriously, that game was dreck and you know it.

Well, to be fair. MGS4 had the best combat system of all the Metal Gear games. Hell, just imagine how awesome MGS3 would be if it had MGS4's combat.

True, but personally I didn't find the gameplay in each game to be different enough to have a preference of one over another. In judging the MGS series (or any video game series for that matter) for me it's all about story. The gameplay and graphics should always improve with each new entry, but telling a good story is a complete variable - so if it ends up being bat-shit retarded, then I consider the game "worse."

Hence, MGS4 is the worst game in the series. A good game for sure, a great game even - but still the worst.

Metal Gear Solid was my favourite, all the rest are just tributes to it (except its predecessors which are good but not as good).

Potable Ops was good too and is one of my favourite hand held games of all time.

MGS3 without a doubt. It is the most coherent and less overblown of the lot of them.
The end fight against The Boss was just the culmination to the measured awesomeness that came before it.

We bought the box set (1, 2 & 3) so I watched them in order. I didn't really have any interest to play them though until Snake Eater. My God... that game. There's just so many things about it that I love. I think it was incredibly innovative for a PS2 game (goes on about the food system, keeping track of the date/time, the camo system)...

Raiden? oh, i forced him from my memory...

SNAKE EATER!!!

Glad to see other people have good taste as well

An amazing game that holds up and rises above modern standards. One of my all time favorites!

Snake Eater for sure. A true master peice in gameplay, boss fights, and story. MGS4 while epic, didn't really feel like Metal Gear Solid in a few ways; No new version of Metal Gear (No, Gekko's aren't Metal Gears), all other MGS' hae you infiltrating a base of some sort. MGS4 on the other hand took you all across the globes for a relevtivly short amount of time.

EDIT: Oh yeah, the addition of Drebin/black market purchasing most types of weapons, ammo, and items at any given point in time REALLY broke the OSP system I loved so much. Unless Metal Gear Raiden or whatever its gunna be called is a Devil May Cry try of game, it should've been put in that instead of MGS4... just my opinion though.
