Few franchises elicit passions in gamers quite like Hideo Kojima's epic Metal Gear Solid series. The trials of Snake and his fight against an ever-expanding cast of colorful villains started as a clever stealth game on the NES, but with the advent of the PlayStation, Kojima felt he had the tools to truly deliver on his vision for the series. Metal Gear Solid was cinematic in every sense of the word, from the opening credits to the finely directed cutscenes. Over the course of eight or so hours of play, gamers dug deep into a murky conspiracy involving a top-secret military program that had implications far beyond the Alaskan base that served as the main backdrop for Snake's adventure.

Agreed so much it hurts.

This one's gonna get ugly...

You're given to hyperbole and negativity.  If your last sentence is true, you don't get out much (don't encounter many stories, certainly not in video games).

Maybe MGS4 is a 92, not a 94?  Maybe.  Reasonable minds could think so.

No

Not a chance, best game Ive ever played.......

From the site that wanted to give the last one an 11...

The answer you're looking for is no.

I really enjoyed MGS4- easily in my top five this gen- but i cannot and probably will never understand the fascination behind #1 and 2. Maybe i got a bad copy of MGS2, I heard there were like multiple versions. Anyways, that game- on hard- lasted maybe 5 hours. I still don't understand the hype around it.

maybe it was the naughty pics of the asian ladies in the lockers ;o?

And judging by your username, you are clearly the Lord of All Reason.
