I agree. MGS1 had better setting, characters, controls, music, and story.

Can't really say I disliked the Cold War setting. Pretty refreshing if you ask me. Also liked the jungle.
However MGS1's OST definitely reigns supreme

It would've been cooler if you could set up traps like snares and stuff to catch the guards in. Like Rambo does.

dont forget having to go through menus every time you want to change your face or body camo

This is also probably the worst Metal Gear game to start with by far. Chronological-order autists will have to wade through hell.

Would've been nice to have but I just feel that it's a bit too linear with some tight areas for traps to make sense.
Could be that I'm mistaking tho. Has been some time since I played it last.

Is this chronological meme even still perpetuated?
MGS is far more enjoyable if you play it in release order

This, honestly. I played them MGS 2, 3, 1 and hated everything about 1.

Some years later I went back and played MG (MSX) 1, then 2 and then finally MGS1 again and loved it. Now it's one of my favorite games. I enjoyed it a whole lot more when I realized it plays just like the MSX ones only with polygons.

Yes, in full force.

Lets see what new people to the series have to play through if they do this
>MGS3, bad controls out the ass even veterans agree on this, even veterans who claim MGS3 is the best game in the series agree on this, enough to put off most casuals instantly
>Portable Ops, literally the worst MG game ever made
>Peacewalker, same bad controls but now with bad visuals, story, and gameplay to back it up, only good thing is Kaz and the beach episode, need to 100% it for the true end
>unfinished game that answers no questions, leaves nothing at all to the story, and actually creates plot holes in the series and would continue to do so even if it were finished
>somewhat good NES games
>get two good games then Solid Snake dies of old age cutscene montage game
>Raiden becomes Bayonetta down to having the same body
>handheld alt-universe anime spin-offs

What sours it all even more for myself is that the MGS series had the potential to be as great as Kojima sees it as. It could've been some true Ghost in the Shell level philosophical terrorist action. All the games, even the bad ones, have amazing aesthetics and style that just suck you right the fuck in and immerse you almost instantly. There's just so many odd fucking design flaws with almost every game in the series that stops it short and it's always a different newly added flaw each single entry.

controls just need some getting used to. personally liked the classic first person shooting over the over the shoulder shooter, just makes it a lil bit harder.

The camera is also shit, even in the HD release

everything you mentioned is what made him crazy
