I tried to give this game a bash but was put off a little bit by how convoluted the gameplay is. Felt like I had to do a 6 input button sequence just to crawl over and shoot someone at times.

Maybe I just need to get acquainted with it better. Had some newer shinier toys to play with that distracted me I think.

once you get used to the mechanics, it's pretty fun, but if you're also interested in the story, in relation to the rest of the series, it feels somewhat "unnecessary" due to its being incomplete and being awkwardly placed as the last game in the series.

IMO.

Don't you agree, Zach?

I would say yes. The staff management is very addictive.

I've completely given up on trying to understand the story in metal gear solid. I enjoy the weirdness of it all though.

Why can't one play both? What is with this "best" or "better" ideology?

Main thing I wasn't a fan of is how everything kosts. I already worked to find stuff, pay for it's development, and wait real time hours for R&D to finish it, but now I've also gotta pay a tax before every mission I intend to use them in? Even if I never actually fired the gun, I've gotta pay for it all over again for the next mission? It tends to kill the free mess around mood and says I need to make sure I'm always earning more than I'm spending.

So they could decide to play which one first.

They're not asking about 4, they're asking about 5 specifically.

It has great gameplay, but I could never replay it , probably one of the most disappointing games of all time for me.

Which is a damn shame because the game was effectively released Unfinished.

I agree it's a damn shame, but there is still a lot of good content there. If micromanagement is your thing.

I think it's worth it, it's a great game held back by some half baked ideas

The open world is pretty underwhelming, but it does allow approaches to a base from literally any angle; the sandbox approach to stealth is really fun and gives missions a lot of replayability

The base management stuff people seem to either love or hate. I personally enjoyed it, but for the most part its optional since most missions can be done bare handed or with what you find in the field, or without confrontation period

It's not perfect by any means, but I think now with some retrospect people were too hard on it when it came out

I can think of a lot worse games. What you said is a complete fucking exaggeration.

Speaking of, how the fuck do you start a new game? I have a previous completion, but there is no option to start over.

The gameplay is the best part, and the best gameplay MGS has ever had. So yes.
