despite hating some of the characters (Otacon, EE, and Fortune being on the cusp), it's one of my favorite games.

I played the first MGS when it came out but I was a little late in getting MGS2, so I was aware of the early twist when I started playing.

In some ways.

Kojima called it "postmodern" and nobody really knew what that meant.

The most plausible explanation IMO comes from this video:

https://youtu.be/T-2YuPGYabw?si=xHSgnD3opF6cXeFX

The short of it is, the "postmodern" angle is the same idea as those unaltered soup cans they put in museums to highlight unanswered questions about what art really is.

It's one of my favorites. Raiden is also awesome imo. I never played mgs1 beyond the demo so I wasn't super attached to snake so I didn't care when you find out for 85% of the game you don't control him.

Weakest of the five (or at least first four), but it's aging well.

Yeah. But lately I've been thinking all the internet really did was dismantle the illusion.

I mean, if the year is 1790 and your news comes by courier, you don't have any way to fact check but that doesn't make it correct information. You could choose to believe it or not.

Excellent game. It was a masterpiece of its day. The attention to detail in its systems is insanely intricate. The fact that you can do pull-ups to increase your grip strength is just one small detail that can be discovered by experimenting and exploring concepts.

Even now, some of its interactive details are impressive. Shooting fire extinguishers to blind enemies, throwing empty gun mags as distractions, the "kill vs not kill" soft morality system, the amount of spoken dialog and easter eggs...

It's impressive today, but at the time it was made it was absolutely mind blowing.

MGS2 (Just barely) > MGS1 > MGS3 (Most of The Cobra Unit is trash with little substance) > MGS4 (The Beasts Unit are somehow worse than 3's bosses, and it's where the franchise started to go downhill) > MGS5

I said she was on the cusp because I almost hated her, but her character made sense in relation to the story, so I gave her a pass.

...but just barely.

Nah.
*Boss battle*
*One hour of yammering.*
*Final boss battle*
*ANOTHER hour of yammering!*

Oh yeah two and a half hours and two hours of it is talking! Thankfully Metal Gear Solid 3 was waaaay better! Kojima remembered to have an actual video game in there.

So I enjoyed the demo a TON. Was disappointed in having to play as Raiden when I first played it but now I absolutely love it all around.

I think the only way to play it currently is on the PS3.
