What is your favourite Metal Gear Solid Game?

Shoot!

I have only played MGS2 and 3 but I'm liking MGS2 more!

MGS3 . such a masterpiece of a game and i prefer the Big Boss story

MGS4... 5 looks like it may top it, we shall see in 3 weeks

Gotta go with 3, but am excited to play 5

The first one for the PS1, my favorite MGS and the best of the whole series. It had by far the best pacing and the plotline wasn't all over the place.

Snake Eater(MGS3)

Tum tum tum tuuuuuum

Snake eeeeeaaaaatteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer

Guns of the Patriots (MGS4). Come at me, haters. :P

lol....MGS4 wasn't bad, actually it's my 2nd favorite of the series. The graphic up grade and improved game mechanics made it one of the best last-gen tittles.

Peace Walker.

It still amazes me to this day that the biggest MGS game (not anymore when TPP releases) came from a handheld console.

MGS 3 :D

MGS on PS1. MGS3 and MGS4 are close though.

Snake Eater!

MGS4 and second close MGS3

MGS

Metal Gear Solid & Metal Gear Solid 3
I can't like one more than the other, each one of them was great to their own way.

Metal Gear Solid closely followed by Snake Eater.

Oddly enough I put most of my time into Sons of Liberty and Substance by collecting all of the dog tags, but the story was waaayyy over the top for me.

MGS 1 for sure, but MGS 3 was also great.

Never played 4 and just very little of original playstation. I like MGS2 so far as the best. i dont understand how people can think 3 is better than 2. the setting for 2 is so much better than a generic jungle.

MGS for ps1

Which one have I played the most? MGS1, easily. Would play that game over and over as a child.. My favorite today is MGS4. So many great characters and Solid Snake is just so damn cool. I love Big Boss too, but Snake is cooler in my book.

2, 3, and Peace Walker are great. Ground Zeroes is good. Never played Portable Ops. Rising might not have Solid in the title but it is canon, and it is great. That final boss sequence... So damn good.

....Not really relevant but since it is a MGS thread, the twist in the true ending to Peace Walker really bums me out.

Easy MGS 4. Actually the only one I liked. Never liked the controls on the others.

I think 2 and 3 control horribly, but I like the stories so much I still replay them both every year or two.

Metal Gear Solid 1

Played 1,2,3 and 4

MGS1 is the reason i love the series.

MGS3 is my favorite. Almost in every way.

MGS1 is kicking a lot of people's ass in the nostalgia department, lol. It's one of my favorite stories in the franchise, being the reboot of the Metal Gear series, but by today's standards it sucks. I can't with good conscious even consider it as the best game.

Eh, I would say the game play of MGS2 and 3 are trash too. Even with subsistence. Still love 1, 2, and 3 though.

That one, i disagree with. When the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection came out on the 360 and PS3, replaying the game for the first time since on the PS2... they felt legitimately like modern, next-gen games (at the time) with the higher resolution, achievements/trophies, extras and improved controls. They needed a good touching up, but they held up well for my tastes. I cannot say the same for MGS1 however.

Different strokes then I suppose. Peace Walker feels like a mostly modern game to me but 2 and 3 feel completely archaic to me. I've played 2 and 3 3 times each on the HD collection so it isn't like it stops me from playing them but I warn people that I get interested in MGS that the play like shit other than Peace Walker and MGS4. :P

MGS 1 > MGS 2 > MGS 3 > MGS 4

MGS had a pretty decent, self-contained story. It was also short, but sweet.

MGS 2's story is all over the place. Gameplay expands in a meaningful way over the 1st game. Doesn't capture the charm of the 1st IMO

MGS 3 had a lot of interesting aspects to it but the game was a bit clunky with all of its unneeded survival stuff. The story really did nothing for me here. It's so unmemorable and bad, I couldn't even recite what happens in the game despite beating it twice.

MGS 4 was poop. Felt like I've entered the Dragon Ball Z universe in this game. Everything about the game is awkward, from the sleep-inducing cinematics to the control scheme.

My favorite is probably Metal Gear Solid for its tone, but it has major pacing issues. MGS3 is the most well rounded experience, but MGS4 is the best game.

For me, it's hard to choose between mgs3 and 4. ask me again next month and i think it will easily be mgs v :P

Mine was MGS3 Snake Eater, it was an amazing story, it wasn't complicated much, with little plot-holes.

Then came MGS4 with its updated graphics, MGS2 was good enough experience for me, and so was MGS1, but MGS3, was my most favorite one,

metal gear solid 4 , mgs 1 and mgs snake eater

Just turned my PS2 on for good time sakes to play the regular MGS and wow, didn't know I would get sucked in all over again. I have to say MGS is my favorite going through it again, however, (SPOILER) revisiting Shadow Moses on MGS 4 almost had me in tears haha. Epic series can't wait till MGS V PP!

@bamboozled: MGS 3: It had the best balance of what makes Metal Gear great. Great set of bosses. Check! Interesting story. Check! Self aware humor(including hilarious codec moments)? Check! Great Graphics and epic cut-scenes? Check and check!

Other games in the franchise might do one or two of the above better than MGS3, but none of them do all of the above at such a high level. It's a game so badass, it has it's own Bondesque theme song!

Metal Gear Solid 3 for me personally. Masterpiece :P

MGS3 is my number 1 favorite.

In order its

MGS3

MGS4

MGS2

MGS1

MGS PW

MGS5

For me, MGS5 is by far the worst in the series. I was really looking forward to this game, but my god, its beyond awful. Freeroam is the only thing i like, but even that feels like it has its bounderies.

Metal Gear Solid on the PS1 is my favorite.. Ive never played MGS3 tho. I could not get into 4.

It's a tie for me between MGS 1 and 3
