Metal Gear series: Say I'm not the only one

[Captain Maxx Power]

Please, please, please say that it's not some defect in my system that I abhore the Metal Gear series of games. Playing through them is painful. The gameplay, if you can call it that, is terrible and doesn't compare to the stealth in other games (the Thief series, Deus Ex, heck even Beyond Good and Evil had better stealth sections!). The plot is like a sub-par Steven Segal movie with atrocious acting to boot. What people see in these games is beyond me. I spent two quid on Metal Gear Solid 2 and I still feel ripped off (to put it into perspective I could have easily picked up the penneys on the floor around the shop where I bought it and have had enough funds left over for a Kit Kat Chunky). Maybe I'm missing a trick here, some diamond section that makes these games so damn popular. Or maybe I can shove it alongside the GTA games as series that I'll just never "get".

It's definitely a problem on your end.

[nik0tine]

Yeah, I'd say there's something wrong with you. You might want to consider psychological evaluation.

Sounds good to me. I really can't see where you're coming from on this one, but if you don't enjoy the series, that's no problem of mine.

[Dreddz]

At the end of the day, your the one who misses out. Meh.

I didn't like MGS3. It was an innovative game, but the ideas were not implemented well at all. I hope that MGS4 will be a big improvement to satisfy my MGS2 expectations.

Yep. You need help. That's all there is to it.

[Sephex]

I don't know, I love the games. You don't have to feel obligated to like it just because everyone else does. I never saw the big deal about the Splinter Cell series. Some games just don't mix with some people.

That's because Spliter Cell sucks.

No.

And also: MGS is somewhat overrated, but it is not a bad game by any standard of measurement. And if it's not to your taste, well that's your business, but in all honestly it sux 2 b u.

[Sylvie]

I've hardly played Metal Gear and I love it. I'd say you got teh problum, dood.

No is correct. Splinter Cell rules! I like the Metal Gear Solid Series, but Metal Gear Solid 3 seemed to be more of an interactive movie then a game.

[NeoCracker]

I hated the MGS too, but just cause its my kind of game. Obviously not as much as you though.
