Strange to say the least. Side-ops make me want to blow my head off and I wish there were only about 50 or so (Not the 151 we got instead). Story is ok at face value, but I think people look too far into it. They act like Kojima was attempting to tell the deepest story in the series when I really don't think that was his intention. The gameplay really is spectacular though. Every single combat situation can be taken on in hundred of different ways, and the outposts are great ways to test your skills. Overall, I think if this were more consistent in the long run, people might call it the best of the series. At least it's not Peace Walker.

I might play it again.

The best story in the series. Easily trumps MGS in every way.

Story works for me. A little too much talk, but a great time overall.

Also best boxart in the series. At least in PAL regions.

Tough but fair... sometimes. I've played it twice and I think some parts are amazing (Artorious, Manus, Gwyn), and some parts make me want to die and then kill myself (Kind of everything else).

The story is so bad I don't even try to care about it. The gameplay is fine? I played on hard, but most of it was just annoying. The first two are better.

A great time with friends, but Trivia Murder Party 2 is a real bore.

Beautiful. Fox improved on everything, bar story. Undertale is one of my all time favorites, and it will be nearly impossible to surpass the story in that one.

2016

Played early in the summer. Loved it, but Eternal is a huge improvement.

One of the best in the series.

Old faithful. The amount of childhood memories in this game alone could overflow the Hoover Dam. If you put every Let's Play and YouTube video I watched JUST of this game, it would probably be more than my total playtime for every other game I've played. Ever. A lot to love.

THE OG CLASSIC! STILL THE KING!
