I was a huge Metal Gear fan, and when Metal gear Solid came out it was what I wanted from the series. metal gear Solid 2 tried many things that were "beyond" my vision of the series at the time. I wanted spy thriller with sci fi elements, and it had a lot of meta commentary that made me go "Huh?" when I played it in 2001.
By the end I didn't hate it, but I felt like I went in to see James Bond film and someone gave Terrance Malick the director's job.
