Same here, except I know exactly what I'm missing. 45 minute dialogues, cartoonish exclamation marks over the enemy's heads, and some guy's naked ass as he windmill kicks people.

 Screw that.

Good philosophical war story. It has a James Bond feel to it also.

And that has what to do with anything?

Like he said, Halo has none of those things, which imo makes it much better than MGS, which I believe is an extremely overrated franchise.

You see, how do cows expect MGS4 to be the #1 system seller of all time if there is a good percentage of gamers that still have yet to play a MGS game. I'm one of them. I have never touched a MGS title.

Yes, I realize that, thanks. I'm just pointing out the irony of the guy who pointlessly mentioned the sig as some sort of defense or counter insult.

Anyone who hasn't played MGS may not be missing much, considering the games defineatly don't appeal to everyone.  What some consider flaws within the game, such as massive amounts of dialogue,, others consider a key part of what makes the games so great.  Not enjoying it is one thing, but not playing is is just unacceptable.  Play the MGS3 prologue, if you're not sold, atleast you can say you tried.

You really should play the series, it's fantastic imo.

It's got what I consider a great storyline, memorable characters, unique gameplay, and most importantly the games never get dull.

Check it out, you won't regret it.

It's one of my top five favourite games of all time.  Perfectly balanced, challenging without being annoying, with a terrific plot, a badass main character, fun weapons, a cool movie feel, a great, diverse environment to play in and production values through the roof.

no i just felt like bashing halo =p MGS is 3PS. and the box is something you use for stealth. like say someone is about to walk past, you hide inside a box so you dont get seen. It's pretty funny

You all fail. MGS owns. People who are bashing metal gear solid. you are failures. I dont care if u like Halo as much as me. But anyone who bashes MGS is just like a person who bashes Halo. Its just wrong.

good gameplay, but the story makes no sense whatsoever, its convulted and just plain weird, I mean there are weird movies and games out there that have good stories, but after mgs2, it's just, god I don't know, I wanna like it, but weirdo BS is all it is, it just dosen't make any sense.

This is a series that appeal to the not so bright. It makes them feel smart for playing it. The actual gameplay is ****. The story is its only saving grace but you will probably skip most of it because its written and delivered in a god awful monotone filled with lame jokes. The cutscenes are what people love about it the most. The AI is awful and is only "smart" when it cheats. You can run through most of the game until you hit a boss battle which is always based around mastering some noob combo. Once you learn it you probably won't even lose a bit of energy. Buhh teh deepness. At least the 3rd game was a straight faced farce. KUWABARA! KUWABARA!

 The game is very story driven. If you like great stories in your games then MGS is a good choice. But for me the game takes long to develop and most of the times I tried to play it I didn't have much patience. Although I really did enjoy the first one. 2 and 3 were just meh to me. Couldn't finish either.

Don't listen to these other people. Seriously. Don't.

The MGS games are great games and all gamers should at least try them out. If you try it and don't like it, fine. However, it's ridiculous to not try out a game that is considered one of the greatest of all time (and is also part of a beloved series)because of a few people who are bashing the hell out of it on System Wars.

to be honest you've kinda missed the boat on the wow factor of playing it. When it first came out it was pretty groundbreaking but now parts of it's dna floating around in games so it might feel a bit,, um,, primative for lack of a better word. BTW The first rumble in a pad i felt was playing metal gear solid. Good times!

The MGS series is one of my all time favorites. That being said, its not for everyone. You have to have an appreciation for intricate storytelling and cinematography. The first time i played through SOL, i watched every movie and listened to every conversation, and it took me about 9 hours. But, when playing through it again skipping all movies and convo, it only took about 5. So, it is true that there is about as much watching as playing. But, if you do have the apprecation for the latter, give these games a shot.

Ive played Metal Gear and Snakes Revenge on NES and Ive also played MGS on PS1.When PS2 came out I was getting into PC games so I havent played MGS2 or MGS3.What I can tell you is MGS is a good game.I played through it about a million times.I recommend it,at least a try.That way if you dont like it you can have some beef to back it up.
