I think this game will be 1 on the gamerankings list, and outsell metal gear solid 1.

I even think it can make 8 million copies sold. MGS is by far the best franchise in the history of video games. And Ive played alot of video games.

Well, you are certainly entitled to your opinion, though I don't think MGS is anywhere near the best franchise in the history of videogaming. A few I would put over it:

- Warcraft
- Mario platformers
- Fallout
- Resident Evil
- Half-Life

And that's just off the top of my head. I could probably come up with at least five more if I thought about it for more than 20 seconds.

Watch this:

I don't consider those 5 to be anywhere near the best franchises.

A few I would put over them:
- Legend of Zelda

- Final Fantasy

- Baldur's Gate

- Super Smash Bros

- Starcraft

I'm surprised you're even trying to argue such a subjective thing with Leo. Ask 5 gamers what the best franchises are, and you'll probably get 25 different answers. Obviously what is the ''best franchise'' is your own opinion; arguing opinions with other opinions is hardly a credible argument. Personally, I would rank MGS as one of the top 2 or 3 franchises; if 4 fulfills its potential it will have earned a permanent spot at the top of my list.

I know you threw in the ''well, you're certainly entitled to your opinion'', but you dont' have to make it sound so damn condescending. Like seeing a homeless person eating garbage and saying ''well, you're certainly entitled to live your life how you wish".

 

Condescending? Exactly what in my post was condescending? I said he was entitled to his opinion and then listed a few franchises I prefer over MGS off the top of my head. Personally, I think the MGS franchise is really overrated.

I'm not the one who stated my opinion as fact nor did I try to back it up by saying that I have played a lot of video games as some sort of justification for the choice.
