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

    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.
