Naw, the bosses weren’t as fun as in MGS. And they went from cool to weirdos, they had a fat guy in roller skates hiding bombs. I don’t even remember the bosses names in that game.

Vulcan Raven, Psycho Mantis, and Sniper Wolf > Roller Derby and Vampire dude.

5 is my favorite gameplay, and 3 is my favorite story. 2 is a super banger tho.

2 was where I really got into the series (only played the demo of MGS1 at the time) , so I’m glad I didn’t gaf about the switch. Plus I was young as hell lowkey I should play that again some day. That shyt at the end was

It was the same thing. It just expounds on the “why”. It also increased the scope of the series. 3 gave us a modernized foundation to that expansion 4 capped it off and 5 filled in some blanks. I love them all equally, endings be damned.

Spoiler

okay I can admit 5’s ending threw me off because I was drinking and thought I deleted my save file or something. I still enjoyed the game though.
