I am just curious about people’s taste here, since this community looks sane compared to other “loony-toons” gaming subs or forums online.
You don’t need to explain yourself just name them.
Thanks

Interesting list. I am not sure MGS 2 even makes my top 5 Metal Gear games lmao
I can understand why people don’t like 2 as much as other games in the series. As mentioned in my other reply in this thread, I find the story of 2 and 4 to be extremely interesting and mind blowing for a young boy!
It’s mgs 2 or 4 for me. I love the whole series, even portable ops back on PSP. Portable Ops had this Pokemon Go-like mini game where you go around the neighborhood and find WiFi access points. When in range you button mash. If you reach 100% you get a new crew member for your army.
I rate mgs 2 and 4 higher than 3 because of the story. As a young boy the topics surrounding PMCs, AI, bio enchantments etc. blew my mind. And now, what was fiction in MGS is becoming reality - some already is. MGS3 has better gameplay but hated the fixed camera in the original game. Was so glad that they made Subsistence.
I can totally understand the story preference for 2 and 4 (especially 4) over 3. MGS 3 is sort of a slow burn story that pays off in the end in spades where as 2 and 4 are full of wacky Kojima story ideas throughout. Portable Ops just didn’t do it for me, I hated the controls (they made it better with Peacewalker by allowing some other control schemes that somewhat made up for the awful analog stick) . Peacewalker’s story was so good, as it directly ties everything together with first Metal Gear game. I imagine most people didn’t play the first game on either MSX or NES, but I played it dozens of times as a kid so the story hit extra hard.
Love peacewalker as well. Had totally forgotten about the controls in Portable Ops - they were indeed trash. Never played the MSX games tbh.
So happy that I finally get to play MGS4 again, even on my PC! Emulator still isn’t the best for mgs4.
The original MSX versions of Metal Gear 1 and 2 are available on PC (steam and maybe other platforms). They are decidedly old and retro at this point, but might be of interest to you.
Admittedly I never had a PSP so I’m missing a chunk of the series. Ranking just the main numbered Solid entries: 3, 1, 2, 5, 4. I’m not sure where I’d slot in Peace Walker and the Sub-versions and such. (I do know that Twin Snakes would be way down the list)
Peace Walker was pretty great. Portable Ops was kinda bad.
My personal list would be 3, 1, 4, 5, Peace Walker, 2, Metal Gear (MSX), Metal Gear (NES) (they are different enough to warrant this), Metal Gear 2, Portable Ops, Snakes Revenge
