Board 8 > Metal Gear Solid 1 is easily the best MGS

(+) Yeah! (+)

the ps1 version, not the lame remake. It had the best story(not overtop like rest, especially 2), best bosses, best voice acting, best cast, best theme song(2 is close), incredible atmosphere, etc. The game was just incredible, and only part 3 came close. Do you guys agree?

Yep. My favorite game in the series, too.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

No, on the basis that I like the over the top remake. Its ridiculousness is its charm to me. Same thing with MGS3, which is why it's my favorite MGS.

I prefer Twin Snakes, but otherwise I agree. The story of MGS1 is better than the rest of the series. It was like watching an awesome 1980s action flick.

Not for me, on the basis that I haven't played more than about five minutes of it ;_;

I agree that MGS had the best story of the four, but I think the others have merits that make them just as good.

You know that only has 2, 3 and Peace Walker in it, not 1, right?

MGS1 was pretty amazing when it came out, golden age of gaming there. I have to say that MGS3 was the best one though.

Konami did say they wanted to do MGS1 justice with a proper remake in the future! Anything that overrides Twin Snakes is good for all tbqh

Best story? Eh, I'll say it ties with 2 and 3!
Best bosses? I prefer 3's, but fair enough.
Best voice acting? Definitely.
Best cast? Yes.
Best theme song? No, 2. Soundtrack goes to either 2, 3 or 4, too.
Atmosphere? Yes.

Overall, I'd take 2 and 3 over it.

2 or 1 is my favorite. Really disappointed with 4.

MGS1 is easily one of my favorite games, even if it's just absolutely ridiculous. Liquid Snake got all of the recessive genes? WHAT THE ****?!

Better than "I'M COVERED IN BEES!", I guess...

Wasn't it really Snake that got the recessive genes?

MGS1 is the best but MGS2 has the best main theme.

Yeah, this, they say as much right at the end of the game.

"Yes. The inferior one was the winner after all. ...That's right. Until the very end, Liquid thought he was the inferior one."

best bosses, sure. MGS2 and 3 had some good bosses, but a lot of them felt thrown in for the sake of having boss fights.

mgs1's bosses were all legit characters

cept maybe the tank guy

I hated facing the M1 tank, especially in Twin Snakes. It was so damn hard!

Besides that, I liked all the boss fights in MGS1.

The boss fights in all the games were fun, but MGS1's boss fights were a step above I think

Well, of course it's easy once you a) know what to do and b) know how much you have to conserve consumable items.

As to the original topic... I agree. Mgs1 (not twin snakes) was probably the best overall package of the series, not counting 4 (haven't finished it yet). They all have their strengths and weaknesses, though. Even as frustrated as I got with mgs2's storyline or the various corny segways (the pain, snake talking about guns...) and gameplay gaffes (bandage system, map system) in mgs3, I think I'm ready for a replay of the entire series.

Oh also twin snakes is bad. Gameplay is better, and i guess it's funnier, but it's just worse and loses the original effect. I guess it's technically just *different*...

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

2 is the only one I wouldn't call amazing, and I couldn't really choose between 1 and 3 as the best.

How are the PSP ones?

--
Fresh from my first justified ban. Ever!

Best bosses - maybe, close with 3. The rest - no. Overall, it's worse than 3 and 4. Still, pretty close to them.

MGS1 is the best.

I know this is nitpicky, but it bothered me a little that in MGS4, in a world where electronics and mechanical soldiers are more common than ever, chaff grenades, which were commonplace even in the 60s, are almost completely gone without explanation. There are like six in the entire game, most of which are hidden.

MGS2 the best.

I really love the brightness of the outdoor levels.

I prefer Twin Snakes, and then MGS3 was my fav, followed by MGS4 the current champ. And of course MGS2 rocks. They all rock. But yeah, I disagree with the topic statement there.

Peace Walker is better than all of them

Well not really, but it's pretty damn good. I like it better than MGS2

No doubt why you don't preface your posts with "I know I'm judgmental, but"

Not sure how you made that leap from there, but hey, good for you.

I should probably start prefacing my posts with "99% of the stuff I say isn't actually serious" though.
