MGS2 has cool ideas but MGS3 is the most fun to play/the best game overall.

Eh, having to pause the game every time you had to eat, heal wounds or change camo got tedious.

MGS1 is fine, but MGS2 probably the best game in the series. It's pretty much an Adam Curtis movie: the video game.

MGS2 was my entry into the series. And by "entry" I mean my friend said "hey I can't beat this guy" and it was the last boss. I only owned a handful of games for the Xbox, but MGS2: Subsistence was probably my 2nd most played game (Project Gotham Racing 2 being number 1).

Every year since college I've made the same joke: MGS2 is the most important game of $CurrentYear... and it's always been true. MGS is simultaneously one of the smartest and dumbest game series out there, and it's a complete enigma and brilliant.

I've always gone off the assumption that MGS is, among other things, a piss-take of the techno-thriller genre. Like it's subtitled "tactical espionage action" but the bosses include a fat man on rollerskates and a man with trained killer bees and poo poo.

I often bicker with people over the politics of Mass Effect. As with a thousand other franchises, what people try to nitpick as inconsistencies make perfect sense. Like basically galactic civilization is hosed up because everything is organized into capitalist ethno-states.

My favorite Easter egg is that GTA5 has a subway system that mimics the route in Los Angeles. You never at any point get directed there or have to interact with that transportation method.

gta is way more hit or miss, whereas mgs is more consistent

It kills me that people still deify such a bland candidate. Her selling point was she was the "rational" or "pragmatic" candidate- not some sort of folk hero. It's like that one experiment where scientists made a turkey sex doll and kept removing parts until it was literally a post with a head on it. Throw a bland face on a post, say it will reach across the isle, and the Democrats will gently caress it.

I've got both of the SA Chapo threads bookmarked and I can't tell the difference. You can respond to the MGS derail from one thread in the other one and it'll just start a MGS derail there

All the MGS games are fantastic and even MGS1 holds up quite well today
