MGS 1 and 2 are my fav. MGS 3 is crazy dope. MGS4 and 5? Nah. 5 wasnt even a finished game. But the first 3 are so classic I wouldnt call the series overrated. The 5th game wouldve been way better if it was finished.

Yes it was
when sequels of great games come out usually more people play that version because it's an established game. Some people say mgs3 is better than MGS2. So why would the better sequel of a top game of all time on a system that sold well not sell as much?The same way you are gonna bullshyt that answer is what's going on now
You agreeing with me, read below...
I truly believe that the term is not used enough. I'm not blanket stating that MGS is overrated. There is substance to why it is what I say it is.The term overrated is overrated.
First off, nothing can be overrated if it wasn't good. Nobody overrates a crappy game. Nobody is saying superman64 was overrated. It could be underrated (it's not) but you get my point. As soon as nikkaz seen MGS is OVERRATED, the thought is that I'm saying it's a bad franchise
So agreeing with you, MGS4 was then deemed the best game ever made. You wanna know who said that? Ign/gamespot/Rekkapryde
you name it. Yet now everyone is talking about how bad it was 
Isn't that the epitome of overrating
Mgs5 was a dud, so that's twice. MGS3 was overlooked so for a lot of gamers the last time a great metal gear game came around was on the ps2.
The Nintendo versions were ok but not worthy of mentioning. You add it all up and this series is highly overrated. With mgs1 and 2 being the peak. Great game, too bad even Splinter Cell has surpassed it as a "series" which would be blasphemous to say at one point. shyt, splinter cell 2 and 3 online still hasn't been matched

Splinter Cell hasnt surpassed MGS as a series. U buggin for that. A game being overrated isnt the same as callin a series overrated. MGS 1-3 are considered some of the best games of all time. Let alone in their respective genre. Dont know why u keep leaving 3 out when it’s considered the best in the series by alot of people. And lets get it straight. Metal Gear for the NES isnt the real game. Metal Gear is an MSX series originally. Metal Gear 2 for the NES isnt even cannon to the series. The real Metal Gear 2 came out on the MSX2. The MSX versions of the game >>>>>>> NES.Yes it was

I think people would've been all over this if you didn't say most overrated ever

MGS 1 and 3 are classics.

I’ll get hate from the Nintendo crowd for this, but Zelda is the most over-rated franchise 
Metal Gear franchise is basically Nas' career-- "one hot game every ten year average"
Metal Gear Solid on the first PS was Illmatic... the rest had some stellar moments here and there but overall the series is
to me. I was even kinda disappointed that Metal Gear Solid 5 was open world. I play enough open world games, I actually wanted a linear game from them

I'm well aware of the history bruh, my first post was worded so the fake replies like yours could be avoided. Metal gear wasn't shyt on either of those systems. Decent games that most people played because they rented it :yeshrug you can act like it was beloved but it wasn't
No debate, 1-3 were good. Let's stop acting like mgs3 was universally loved because it wasn't. And it sold only half of what MGS2 did. To the majority of gamers, the last great MGS game was on the ps2. The hype never died down tho, the expectations remained high, can you say overrated?
As for splinter cell, first off MGS4 had a crappy online mode because of splintercell. And splinter cell 2 and 3 on Xbox and PC were totally different games than what Sony had. And that shyt was epic. The campaign in splinter cell was great back then was well. The next gen splinter cells was not as universally popular but we're still great games unlike metal gear. Only the multiplayer fell off. Overall in my opinion splinter cell surpassed MGS a long time ago
Which is exactly why the series is overrated. Mgs1 isn't overrated, neither is mgs2. Mgs3 is, MGS4 was but no longer is thanks to revisionist history, mgs5 is.MGS 1 and 3 are classics.
The rest range from
No other franchise has the expectations MGS gets when it launches outside of GTA. And that franchise is overrated as well but to a lesser extent of course...
Splinter Cell is EASILY a better stealth franchise.

They should remake or HD remaster the first 3 games, I never played blacklist. That came out before or after conviction?
