[quote name='Grave_Addiction'][quote name='CaseyRyback']why do people hate on MGS so much?
The story is not as complex as people make it out to be, and the gameplay is flawless, along with the graphics and musical score.If anything the first one is overrated in its bland story and straight forward plot.
That said, almost all Metal Gear games have some type of truth revealed later in the game or series, so why do people diss the story? If you played any previous games or even read about the previous ones you should have known what to expect.
as for me, I would say GTAIII. Bored me to tears. VC redeemed the series though, with the motorcycles, music, and great atmosphere.[/quote]
I actually liked Metal Gear 2 when I first played through it. It's actually one of the only PS2 games that actually kept my interest enough for me to take the time to play through the entire game.
But on the other hand, I think it's overrated in that so many people called it the greatest game ever. It certainly isn't by any stretch of the imagination, but it's still a damn good game.[/quote]
I enjoyed MGS2 the first time through, but the ending made me not so sure. Played through it again a few months ago, now I officially enjoyed the whole thing. A second trip through the somewhat meandering storyline made everything make a whole lot more sense, and certainly upped the enjoyment factor.
I still like the first MGS's faster pace more, though.
