A blind play of MGS1 then MGS2 straight through is the best combo IMO. MGS1 for the straight up action/drama, and then MGS2 for the postmodern deconstruction of MGS1, and all the crazy fourth wall breaking which goes on.
Exactly. I think the advanced graphics play a big role for people saying it's 3, 2, 1. But in terms of atmosphere, story and captivating the player, it's clearly 1, 2, 3.
And thats the exact reason people became such huge fans of the franchise. Because of the story. Did you even read my comment to know what youre arguing? cause I dont think you did. @@RandoLePerson
The sign of a good franchise is when everyone says a different one is the best. I could argue any of the metal gear sold 1,2,3 are the best. 4 was great too. But I would say 3,2,1,4,5, MG2, PW, MG
Yeah! For several years I had considered MGS3 to be the pinnacle of the series, but a couple years ago I finally got around to playing MGS5 GZ & PP which actually became and still my own personal number 1 MGS game. They are all fantastic, though! Just as you said, someone could pick any one of them to be what they consider the best and it would be understandable. Pretty crazy that the quality in such a huge franchise was able to be maintained over the years with each release.
I thought the ending to this video was a joke. But the more this man spoke about Pipo Snake’s epic journey, the more I realized this was no joke at all: it was gospel.
MGS3 is way more gameplay focused than 2 though. Mgs2 also has the most philosophically and politically important story in the series. You should change what to: MGS1 -> atmosphere, MGS2 -> story, MGS3 -> gameplay.
@@jameslarkin3859 well, I believe the vast majority of people who have played those games and people that are fans will say metal gear solid 3 is the best.
@@mistadopeman the vast majority of those people have never even played 1 because they cant see past "shitty graphics'. Anyway, story, narrative dialoque, plot twists, villains and villain motivations, atmophere, music just to name a few are far superiour. 3 is the second best though
It’s always going to be subjective. Especially depending on at what point in the series you found the franchise. For me, first entry was Metal Gear Solid, which for its time is easily one of the best games ever made. This allowing me to see the progression gives me the opinion Snake Eater is the best entry, in terms of scope, growth, story, and attention to detail/content. However, it is dated, and someone that’s only played 5 is likely to feel that’s the best due to how polished it is and how it plays.
Actually the original release of MGS came at a time when the duelshock wasn't even widely adopted, so most players would have only had the standard PS1 controller. Edit: Also, at 36:44 notice how they audio doesn't match the lip movement? When I first played MGS3 back around release I thought this was a glitch, but it turns out that this is on purpose. They're actually meant to be speaking Russian and the voices are "dubbed", which is why Sokolov says that Snakes Russian is superb.
I didn't even think about that! Thanks for the info. The really cool thing is that Kojima wanted the voice actors to learn some Russian so they could speaking during some of the cutscenes, only the voice of snake wanted to do it so it was dropped.
Mgs3 for story, but gameplay and controls hands down goes to MgsV not only in its own seris but all time. Find a game that handles or controls smoother or better I challenge you
5 is also A masterpiece in its own right, it's given a loose narrative to follow, then you make the fate of creating big bosses legend as venom. It's designed to show you where big boss becomes lost in his morales. He's so hell bent on getting the upper hand on zero he ruins a man's life and uses him and his soldiers for his motives the very same reason he is against zero so strongly to begin with. Is he a hero? Or is he a a bringer of terror to voice his ideas
I like that Sutherland is the voice actor of phantom pain because when you know the story and deeper details of venom snake which is a big spoiler. It makes sense as to why we don’t get a familiar voice
In all reality though Hayter should’ve never voiced naked Snake/ Big Boss to begin with. Solid Snake and Big Boss are different people so they should’ve always been voice acted by different people. If you go by the “well he’s a clone” logic then Liquid Snake and Solidus Snake should’ve both been voiced by Hayter as well then which would’ve been really stupid.
Because of the potent mind F nostalgia really is each game has a special place in my heart with a slight bias tword MTG1. Just the overall vibe and story had a huge effect on my life as I was just starting middle school. It was a great time to be a kid.
What's all this crap about playthroughs without killing? Execute everyone, they're the enemy. You're special forces, not special firends. And 1 is the best because you must kill like Man. Also, if you were lucky enough to play it when it came out, there was no experience like it. I was 13 years young when it came out, switching the joypad to slot 2 was mind blowing or the code being in the back of the CD case...
MGS1 is the greatest game of all time. 2 started great but the switch to Raiden weakens it a bit.. MGS3 was great also but some of the additional game play tasks and features while cool on paper made the game a little tedious.

@@digitalworms That's an awesome memory my dude, thank you for sharing it with me. I'm glad you have such love for the original Metal gear game! Because of that game a lot of us were able to get into the series, it differently deserves more praise.
Metal gear solid 3 is the perfect video game and perfect "product " . Metal gear solid 2 is by far the best game kojima had ever made . Im not even talking about the technical leap from 1 to 2 .
Metal gear can be divided in multiple topics and every metal gear is better than othe metal gear in one topic but not another Mgs1 is a classic all round great game Mgs2 has the best meta narrative of all videogames Mg3 has the best plot and pace, the best James bond games mixed with the pov of a blind soldier Mgs4 is ok but has some of the best cuts cents in the saga ( maybe because it was all cinematics) Mgsv has the best gameplay/gamefeel of any stealth accion to date all the installments have some reediming qualities that make the worth playing them again
I would rate it Mgs 4, 3, 5, 2, 1 My favorite is Mgs 4 it wraps up the story perfectly and leaves no loose ends which I what I wanted that's y I didn't mind the cuts-scenes. Without 4 mgs 2 just leaves you Without any answers. Mgs 5 has best game play but worst story. So I would say from best to worst in my opinion.
Around 10:30 you said "even in the first game if you walk by a guard too quickly they'll hear you. This is not at all true lmao. Mgs3 was the first to have guards hear normal footsteps. In mgs1 only certain floors made noise, but you can't change the speed you walk. There is no "too quickly"
@@AGhostNamedGrimm master Miller (liquid) talks about it in mgs1, he says put your weight onto one food, then with the other foot, put your heel out in front of you, then shift your weight onto that foot while bringing the rest of the foot to the ground. He calls it "stalking". But in the end he tells you to crawl on the ground to avoid making noise. It wasn't until mgs3 that you had different speed movements and guards could hear footsteps from different distances depending on how slow or fast you move.
3:11 Metal Gear Solid has one of the the greatest voice acting of all time. no doubt about it. 5:36 controls are not that great? I'm sorry, that's how the controls must be. All you need to control a character is there. Then what you say about Elden Ring controls? its risky to say "they are bad" right?, all that "delayed actions" and "I PUSHED DODGE"... ? this specific agility of the character is badly missing with the new generation of third person games. MGS1 controls have no lags, Snake is nimble and responsive, compare to MGS3, they are absolute perfection. 5:42 It might not look that great? That's DSP level review. this game is the definition of looking great with minimum polygons. It is ground breaking by all definitions. Please notice that I'm not a MGS or Kojima fanboy. MGS2 and 3 disappointed me when they came out. Peace Walker and Portable ops are just bad, MGS4 tried hard. Phantom Pain gained my respect back. 5:51 Twin snakes is a failure in every aspect. Again, more polygons, worse visuals. TS looks awful. Its an insult to the original game on only the visual aspects. 6:41 You failed to mention how bad this new snake looks. The new model is terrible visually. I'm certainly not the only one who notices that. 7:10 the plastic looking characters is something that is not talked about enough. People in MGS2 look like Sims 1 characters. and you didn't mention it. MGS1 did great to not to have a cartoonish look. 10:05 controls of MGS2 haven't changed one bit, how did they improve? Apart from the fact that picking corners are much slower and cause you prone to detection by enemies. Followed by punching in the nuts and other embarrassing mentions. It did NOT improve. 21:28 apart from the convoluted story, everything else downgraded in MGS2. The set up, The environment, The atmosphere, the visuals (more polygons, ugly visuals), the music, the sound effects, characters, the voice acting, even Snake...etc...everything got downgraded. How on earth you call this an improvement? you were VERY wrong on this one. P.S. MGS games is clearly not your jam and its fine. This series is not made for everyone. The creators targeted a specific group of audience from the beginning. We can see it from the follow up Death Stranding 1 and 2. This needs a lot of analysis and explanation. Its completely fine that one individual couldn't digest everything about it by just playing them. That's the point you young generation is missing, the artistic part. for the reasons that are extremely difficult to explain to your audience, all things considered, MGS1 is definitely the greatest video game ever made.
Hey man, I can see you're a big fan of MGS 1 and I respect that. Honestly, I felt like I gave MGS 1 a bad wrap with this video and should have talked more about it 6 minutes was way too short of a time to talk about it. I think for the time MGS 1 easily had the best voice acting on the ps1 hands down. However, the voice acting absolutely improved in later games, at least the English voices I've never played in any other language. Listen to how Colonel Campbell sounds in MGS 1 and then listen to MGS 2, In mgs 1 he sounds more timid, like the actor playing him doesn't know what this character is supposed to be or sound like, yet in MGS 2 he sounds more natural and free flowing, don't get me started on Mei Ling. To me, Mgs 1's controls are stiff. I mean just running up the stairs and shooting down at the enemies behind snake was a nightmare, let alone trying to line up a shot from far away thankfully the devs added an auto-aim, for all I know it could be because I was playing on a six axis controller or I'm just bad at it you be the judge, of course for time the game was released I'm sure they're fine. I don't think Snake controls better in MGS 1 than in any other MGS game I've played when trying to choke out an enemy. Often times I find myself passing them up and getting spotted like I did in the video or just ending up at the side of them.away. Thankfully, Yeah, I agree saying it didn't look good is a bad take. The game looks good for the time it was released and on the hardware it was released on, the beginning cut scene alone is beautifully done, visually it's impressive for what it released on. Dude, I don't care if your a MGS fanboy or not lmao, enjoy the games you like, I wont get mad, I'm just a dude on the internet.If you love MGS 1 and hate all the other games, totally fine! More power to you. I've never played Twin Snakes. This video was made for a friend of mine who has never played any MGS game besides MGS 5, I'm letting them know if they think MGS 1 is ugly go play Twin Snakes. If it plays worse, that's the trade off they choose. Who cares? You can play the orignal MGS and have fun. I thought the characters look good in MGS2, it's the advantage new hardware brings, you work with what you have MGS 1 half of the characters don't have eyes due to the limitations of the console. In MGS 2 & 3 you can see emotion on the character's faces if that's the cost of a "more cartoonish" look I'll gladly pay it. So I think the controls improved just by having a collision with enemies, being able to bump into them instead of just phasing through,you can do a combo jab in MGS1 but being too close to an enemy again just pushes you through them causing an alert, MGS 2 fixes this, but you're also given a roll (or flip for Raiden) that you can use to run into anyone or or jump small gaps to enter different area, this was such a good idea it was used up until MGS 5, you also get extra camera control, But I can't count that against MGS 1 because it could've been the hardware limitations that didn't make it possible. Honestly, I think MGS 2 improved almost everything from MGS 1. The character swap is one that pisses everyone off, but once you're over that, you find more emotional acting, just compare when Sniper wolf died vs E.E, again could be because of hardware, or it could be because of actors learning their roles better, but I think MGS 2 did it better. Sure you can say the environment in MGS 1 is better than 2, you differently have more variety of indoor outdoor locations, but the environments in mgs gives more to poke around in, hide in lockers, bathroom stalls, jump over ledges or railings, swimming under water (that one annoys a lot of people) but you have a wide variety of things to do in MGS 2 also. To say "you're very wrong" for not saying MGS 1 is the best game in the world because I like it, is childish.I don't care if Hideo gave up his arm to make MGS 1 I like MGS 2 better and to say "it's not your jam" is weird too. Relax guy, you like Mgs 1 I think that's fantastic. You go and enjoy MGS 1 It's not gonna bother me one bit. Hell talk about how MGS 1 is much better than all the other mgs games too, I really don't mind, but to say "YOUR WRONG FOR LIKING THIS MORE THAN THAT" like really dude? Enjoy your video game and let others enjoy theirs.
For me? It's this from greatest to I don't like at all. 1. MGS2 SOL (My all time favorite in the series) 2. MGS3 SE (My second favorite in the series) 3. MGS1 (I find it to be a masterpiece) 4. MGS4 GOTP (I don't love it as much as the first three Solid games but I still find it to also be a masterpiece) 5. MGR Revengance (Best non canon MG game to me) 6. MG2 SS (Definitely a great game that set the standard for the Solid series) 7. MG1 (MSX) (Really good game even if it's dated and is frustrating at times) 8. MGS PW (Don't really like this one at all) 9. MGS5 GZ/TPP (Think this one is the WORST in the series)
You left out portable Ops shame on you, i completely understand that you dont talk the Acid games but portable ops was worthy of speaking about it. It was a very good game
@@AGhostNamedGrimm that means nothing though game is better than peacewalker to be honest, what's with the sarcasm come on now, you know portable ops is more a metal gear solid game than peace walker, Canon or not hideo kojima produced it.
@@eltinoskimota I wouldn't know if Portable ops is better than Peace walker because I never played it. I was after canon games, and Portable Ops sits on the fence of being canon and not, It might be more similar to past MGS games than PW, but it's because of PW that MGS 5 was able to have a lot of the features it had. I said in the video I started MGS when the HD collection came out, and someone at Konami or Kojima must have liked Peace Walker more than Portable Ops because that's the one that was included in the HD collection. Kojima may have produced it but he didn't direct it like all of the other canon MGS games.
@@AGhostNamedGrimm portable ops had the recruit soldiers 1st and if we speak on the soldiers they are truly unique, I suggest you download it and play it on the emulator, you will see what I'm talking about after
@@AGhostNamedGrimm Just to let you know I'm not hating nor arguing, I'm a fan of the whole franchise I despise mgs5 but the truth is it obviously has the best controls and gameplay its just the story that makes it wack and that is peacewalkers fault
You can beat msg 1 without killing people. Saying that MGS 2 is the first game to do so because of the access of a tranquilizer sounds like a skill issue
The best one is V and revengeance, the rest are ass to play on console, first person aiming is so sloppy, as well as the control mapping generally. Delta if it has the same or better gameplay as V then that's a good contender for best mgs game. Yes I don't care about story as much, gameplay is key for a good videogame. Ain't even a debate.
bro called MGSV's bosses which have multiple approaches and are the only ones that can be stealthed past in the series worse than braindead giant bullet sponges that take upwards of 20 minutes
The real question is what's your favorite MGS theme song?
Snake Eater
Sons of Liberty. Too triumphant
Metal gear 2 Solid Snake the msx game has a killer intro
The best is yet to come. Or calling to the night. Beautiful songs snake eater is a close third
The best has yet to come for MGS 1 .
A blind play of MGS1 then MGS2 straight through is the best combo IMO. MGS1 for the straight up action/drama, and then MGS2 for the postmodern deconstruction of MGS1, and all the crazy fourth wall breaking which goes on.
Also reading the events from MGS1 through in game characters was such an interesting thing many should not miss.

I would rate it Mgs 4, 3, 5, 2, 1 My favorite is Mgs 4 it wraps up the story perfectly and leaves no loose ends which I what I wanted that's y I didn't mind the cuts-scenes. Without 4 mgs 2 just leaves you Without any answers. Mgs 5 has best game play but worst story. So I would say from best to worst in my opinion.
Nice troll. But then again they couldnt all be first.
3 is best
2, 5, 1, 3, 4
MGS3 has the best story!
Most say mgs3, for music mgs1 takes the cake, my favorite as games is a hard toss up between 2 and 4, 5 and 5 are absolutely hot garbage though
You talking about MGS2 is funny as’f cuz didn’t know vamp is bi and piping the colonel
Around 10:30 you said "even in the first game if you walk by a guard too quickly they'll hear you. This is not at all true lmao. Mgs3 was the first to have guards hear normal footsteps. In mgs1 only certain floors made noise, but you can't change the speed you walk. There is no "too quickly"
Really? Wow, I could have sworn that was in MGS 1, had no Idea it was introduced that late in the series! Thanks for the correction.
@@AGhostNamedGrimm master Miller (liquid) talks about it in mgs1, he says put your weight onto one food, then with the other foot, put your heel out in front of you, then shift your weight onto that foot while bringing the rest of the foot to the ground. He calls it "stalking". But in the end he tells you to crawl on the ground to avoid making noise. It wasn't until mgs3 that you had different speed movements and guards could hear footsteps from different distances depending on how slow or fast you move.
3:11 Metal Gear Solid has one of the the greatest voice acting of all time. no doubt about it.
5:36 controls are not that great? I'm sorry, that's how the controls must be. All you need to control a character is there. Then what you say about Elden Ring controls? its risky to say "they are bad" right?, all that "delayed actions" and "I PUSHED DODGE"... ? this specific agility of the character is badly missing with the new generation of third person games. MGS1 controls have no lags, Snake is nimble and responsive, compare to MGS3, they are absolute perfection.
5:42 It might not look that great? That's DSP level review.
this game is the definition of looking great with minimum polygons. It is ground breaking by all definitions.
Please notice that I'm not a MGS or Kojima fanboy. MGS2 and 3 disappointed me when they came out. Peace Walker and Portable ops are just bad, MGS4 tried hard. Phantom Pain gained my respect back.
5:51 Twin snakes is a failure in every aspect. Again, more polygons, worse visuals. TS looks awful. Its an insult to the original game on only the visual aspects.
6:41 You failed to mention how bad this new snake looks. The new model is terrible visually. I'm certainly not the only one who notices that.
7:10 the plastic looking characters is something that is not talked about enough. People in MGS2 look like Sims 1 characters. and you didn't mention it. MGS1 did great to not to have a cartoonish
look.
10:05 controls of MGS2 haven't changed one bit, how did they improve? Apart from the fact that picking corners are much slower and cause you prone to detection by enemies. Followed by punching in the nuts and other embarrassing mentions. It did NOT improve.
21:28 apart from the convoluted story, everything else downgraded in MGS2. The set up, The environment, The atmosphere, the visuals (more polygons, ugly visuals), the music, the sound effects, characters, the voice acting, even Snake...etc...everything got downgraded. How on earth you call this an improvement? you were VERY wrong on this one.
P.S. MGS games is clearly not your jam and its fine. This series is not made for everyone. The creators targeted a specific group of audience from the beginning. We can see it from the follow up Death Stranding 1 and 2. This needs a lot of analysis and explanation. Its completely fine that one individual couldn't digest everything about it by just playing them. That's the point you young generation is missing, the artistic part. for the reasons that are extremely difficult to explain to your audience, all things considered, MGS1 is definitely the greatest video game ever made.
Hey man, I can see you're a big fan of MGS 1 and I respect that. Honestly, I felt like I gave MGS 1 a bad wrap with this video and should have talked more about it 6 minutes was way too short of a time to talk about it. I think for the time MGS 1 easily had the best voice acting on the ps1 hands down. However, the voice acting absolutely improved in later games, at least the English voices I've never played in any other language. Listen to how Colonel Campbell sounds in MGS 1 and then listen to MGS 2, In mgs 1 he sounds more timid, like the actor playing him doesn't know what this character is supposed to be or sound like, yet in MGS 2 he sounds more natural and free flowing, don't get me started on Mei Ling.
To me, Mgs 1's controls are stiff. I mean just running up the stairs and shooting down at the enemies behind snake was a nightmare, let alone trying to line up a shot from far away thankfully the devs added an auto-aim, for all I know it could be because I was playing on a six axis controller or I'm just bad at it you be the judge, of course for time the game was released I'm sure they're fine. I don't think Snake controls better in MGS 1 than in any other MGS game I've played when trying to choke out an enemy. Often times I find myself passing them up and getting spotted like I did in the video or just ending up at the side of them.away. Thankfully,
Yeah, I agree saying it didn't look good is a bad take. The game looks good for the time it was released and on the hardware it was released on, the beginning cut scene alone is beautifully done, visually it's impressive for what it released on. Dude, I don't care if your a MGS fanboy or not lmao, enjoy the games you like, I wont get mad, I'm just a dude on the internet.If you love MGS 1 and hate all the other games, totally fine! More power to you.
I've never played Twin Snakes. This video was made for a friend of mine who has never played any MGS game besides MGS 5, I'm letting them know if they think MGS 1 is ugly go play Twin Snakes. If it plays worse, that's the trade off they choose. Who cares? You can play the orignal MGS and have fun.
I thought the characters look good in MGS2, it's the advantage new hardware brings, you work with what you have MGS 1 half of the characters don't have eyes due to the limitations of the console. In MGS 2 & 3 you can see emotion on the character's faces if that's the cost of a "more cartoonish" look I'll gladly pay it.
So I think the controls improved just by having a collision with enemies, being able to bump into them instead of just phasing through,you can do a combo jab in MGS1 but being too close to an enemy again just pushes you through them causing an alert, MGS 2 fixes this, but you're also given a roll (or flip for Raiden) that you can use to run into anyone or or jump small gaps to enter different area, this was such a good idea it was used up until MGS 5, you also get extra camera control, But I can't count that against MGS 1 because it could've been the hardware limitations that didn't make it possible.
Honestly, I think MGS 2 improved almost everything from MGS 1. The character swap is one that pisses everyone off, but once you're over that, you find more emotional acting, just compare when Sniper wolf died vs E.E, again could be because of hardware, or it could be because of actors learning their roles better, but I think MGS 2 did it better. Sure you can say the environment in MGS 1 is better than 2, you differently have more variety of indoor outdoor locations, but the environments in mgs gives more to poke around in, hide in lockers, bathroom stalls, jump over ledges or railings, swimming under water (that one annoys a lot of people) but you have a wide variety of things to do in MGS 2 also.
To say "you're very wrong" for not saying MGS 1 is the best game in the world because I like it, is childish.I don't care if Hideo gave up his arm to make MGS 1 I like MGS 2 better and to say "it's not your jam" is weird too. Relax guy, you like Mgs 1 I think that's fantastic. You go and enjoy MGS 1 It's not gonna bother me one bit. Hell talk about how MGS 1 is much better than all the other mgs games too, I really don't mind, but to say "YOUR WRONG FOR LIKING THIS MORE THAN THAT" like really dude? Enjoy your video game and let others enjoy theirs.
Mgs 3 is the best but of they remastered mgs 1 in todays graphics then that would be number 1 easily
Mgs v is the best. But mgs 1 is the most special for me
For me? It's this from greatest to I don't like at all.
1. MGS2 SOL (My all time favorite in the series)
2. MGS3 SE (My second favorite in the series)
3. MGS1 (I find it to be a masterpiece)
4. MGS4 GOTP (I don't love it as much as the first three Solid games but I still find it to also be a masterpiece)
5. MGR Revengance (Best non canon MG game to me)
6. MG2 SS (Definitely a great game that set the standard for the Solid series)
7. MG1 (MSX) (Really good game even if it's dated and is frustrating at times)
8. MGS PW (Don't really like this one at all)
9. MGS5 GZ/TPP (Think this one is the WORST in the series)
Hot take: MGSV is the best
You left out portable Ops shame on you, i completely understand that you dont talk the Acid games but portable ops was worthy of speaking about it. It was a very good game
I just found out Portable Ops was canon like 72 hours ago, come on now lmao.
@@AGhostNamedGrimm that means nothing though game is better than peacewalker to be honest, what's with the sarcasm come on now, you know portable ops is more a metal gear solid game than peace walker, Canon or not hideo kojima produced it.
@@eltinoskimota I wouldn't know if Portable ops is better than Peace walker because I never played it. I was after canon games, and Portable Ops sits on the fence of being canon and not, It might be more similar to past MGS games than PW, but it's because of PW that MGS 5 was able to have a lot of the features it had. I said in the video I started MGS when the HD collection came out, and someone at Konami or Kojima must have liked Peace Walker more than Portable Ops because that's the one that was included in the HD collection. Kojima may have produced it but he didn't direct it like all of the other canon MGS games.
@@AGhostNamedGrimm portable ops had the recruit soldiers 1st and if we speak on the soldiers they are truly unique, I suggest you download it and play it on the emulator, you will see what I'm talking about after
@@AGhostNamedGrimm Just to let you know I'm not hating nor arguing, I'm a fan of the whole franchise I despise mgs5 but the truth is it obviously has the best controls and gameplay its just the story that makes it wack and that is peacewalkers fault
mgs3 is best the most of all
You can beat msg 1 without killing people. Saying that MGS 2 is the first game to do so because of the access of a tranquilizer sounds like a skill issue
Don't call me out in front of the other MGS fans, they'll find out I'm weak.
Mgs ps1
MGS3 is the best
mgs2
Mgs3
Portable Ops should've been on here, and considered canon tbh. Story better than PW
I never played Portable Ops and had no idea it was canon. Definitely going to check it out!
Solid 1, 2, and 3 are the real keepers. 4 and 5 aren't bad, just bloated, overrated, and forgettable
The best one is V and revengeance, the rest are ass to play on console, first person aiming is so sloppy, as well as the control mapping generally. Delta if it has the same or better gameplay as V then that's a good contender for best mgs game. Yes I don't care about story as much, gameplay is key for a good videogame. Ain't even a debate.
bro called MGSV's bosses which have multiple approaches and are the only ones that can be stealthed past in the series worse than braindead giant bullet sponges that take upwards of 20 minutes
