i've only played mgs2 and 3 i enjoyed both immensely. i'm working on finding the essential collection and playing through them all again (and mgs for the first time). They make you think and engage on a deeper level than most video games i've played.

I will never understand how people could enjoy MGS2, however I respect their opinion to believe so. It's just infuriating when they try and rationalize the questionable content in the game as some mirculous genius.

My only theory as to why so many people enjoyed this game is that it does such a good job confusing them that they default on the assumption that its good by the expensive presentation and cinematic sytle that is indicative of popular motion pictures.

After all, how could something that boasted so much professionalism and cinematographic prowess be bad? Right?

Then again, maybe peope have different standards.
