I give up, I honestly went into this game with a really open mind, and I didn't think negatively about the fact that /v/ hails it as one of the best game ever. But I simply can't finish this thing, gameplay is insufferably bad and the level design is terrible, every level is basically a tiny ass room with 2 corridors, everything feels extremely cluttered, the stealth elements are super basic and the action ones are terrible.
I'm also just not feeling the plot, and I feel the pacing is terrible. Why exactly is this considered a good game?
Did you forget to play Metal Gear Solid before you started playing Metal Gear Solid 2?

The fact that you gotta activate the 'terminals' in every room to then have access to your radar is what pisses me off the most.
I still finished it more than 5 times though, it plays more like a puzzle than 3, 4 or 5. It's fast paced and you don't have to crawl your way through half the map in order to avoid detection.
It also has great aesthetics and a few memorable boss fights. I love the sterile feel from the ambients, and the drastic theme shift around the end. It's good enough to warrant a playthrough.
