I will just voice my opinion on the MGS games not if its a AAA franchise because it is to me and that's all I care about.
Metal Gear (NES)- This game revolutionized the action based side stroller save the girlfriend games. It brought a story and a sense of I am this character to the video game players.
Metal Gear Solid Snake (Famy-Com or MGS3:SUB)- I feel if this game came out in the states at the time it would have been a massive influence to video game developers. It was so vastly impressive being able to do things like save radio contacts and the game play was very vast and impressive for its time.
Metal Gear Solid (PS)-The game that REVOLUTIONIZED a whole GENRE of gaming. Taking you into a 3D world and being able to move around and look and almost feel the surroundings for the first time was AMAZING. Who can forget seeing the Cigs for the first time in your Item Box. Or when you are in the Elevator before the Boss battle between Snake and Sniper wolf having Otacon basically Freak out on the Codec and YELL at you warning you 4 Invisible guys are in the Elevator with you. I mean if you don't see how this game was basically as revolutionizing as any game ever made you are not worth Gaming.
Metal Gear Solid 2 (PS2)- A game that made you think. How many times can you say that? The first time I finished MGS2 I was in shock at what the game had brought out of me. The feeling of wow what if there really was a Patriot organization running a country? I think that MGS2 in a lump some can be phrased as being. (WTF?) In every good way possible.
Metal Gear Solid 3 (PS2)- This is a game that took you into an almost REAL living breathing Jungle or Woods or whatever you want to call it. But it gave you a sense that you could go to groznigrad and that was what you would see. It to me just had something I cannot explain but only get with this game. And it had one of the best Boss battles in gaming and also had a FANTASTIC ENDING TO END ALL ENDINGS. This game had me at ONE tear. But that is still a lot coming from a video game. And again the game made you think.
Metal Gear Portable Ops (PSP) The game had a weird charm. But it worked, for myself I liked the game and I couldn't put it down. I also love having the two US powers go at it for basically POWER as the end all be all force of protecting the Country. The story was solid and I had fun playing it. It didn't have a revolution in gaming but it was SOLID.
Again this is my opinion but I say this who all disrespect this series. (You can hate all you want, But at the end of the day. It is our gain and your loss.)
