dunno lah
Arcane
POps would've been better with a PS2 controller. I can't believe how fucked up it is to have a the camera controls on the d-pad as default. Either that or the game should've used the classic top-down camera.
Offtop: I'm having a blast with Peace Walker but skipped Portable Ops, is the latter worth playing?
Why would he be? :DBut Gene isn't Hungarian, is he?
It's not that he considers it non canon (he directly references it and the events that took place in it in MGS4), it's just that he kinda goes out of his way to try to ignore alot of what happened in it. The farthest he seems to go to admit that it happens is that something went down in San Hieronymo, it involved Big Boss (and possibly Kaz), and a direct consequence of it was Fox being disbanded, Ocelot obtaining the other half of the legacy, and Big Boss joining The Patriots briefly. Although even the last point is somewhat suspect, as Peace Walker creates the bizarre plot hole of Big Boss apparently not even knowing about his own past with The Patriots and Zero. The most he can muster to his defence when Paz literally explains his own backstory with Zero to him is a confused "Huh?".Portable Ops is not considered canon by Kojima because it wasn't his game. It was forced out on the PSP. Kojima didn't directed and written is, he was just the producer.

Portable Ops was the last decent Metal Gear game and a gem compared to the crap produced nowadays. The villain from Portable Ops is also rumored to be the antagonist in MGSV.

Except it is the prequel of the story of MGS V, and the 2 is closely connected. So bullllshiiiiiiit!Peacewalker was more playable than Portable Ops but the story was grating and idiotic. They bait you in with the voice of The Boss, but it turns out to be a red herring.
There was nothing of value in the Peacewalker story as far as Metal Gear canon

Ground Zeroes is the prequel of the story of MGSV.
What? The new MGS is shit now??
Explain bro, explain.
Snake Eater is my last MGS and I never follow the series again.
And yes the deep and convoluted stories and wacky theories could make people love or hate the game, but to be honest I never really put too much attention to them.
I want to be a Rambo and kick the enemy's elite team of badasses, and the nice story is just a bonus.
I'm just a sucker for one man army vs the whole enemies trope.
I'd love to play a decent Rambo/one man army stealth action game with MGS-esque gameplay even without all the complex stories and dramas.
I wonder why no one pitch that kind of game on the kickstarter...
PS2 graphix, low poly background textures, limited but dense game world, cool bosses, rudimentary AI patrols with MGS core mechanics, simple but tight story without all the MGS dramas, homo and porn shit.
Damn, I'll definitely back that one.
Controls were fine and suited the 'dodge the cone' gameplay, it's just that the gameplay itself was pretty boring and repetitive, mostly consisting of running through the same grey corridors and orange catwalks on inane fetch quests and escort missions. Whenever you hear people praising the game (beyond parroting SuperBunnyHop and Matthewmatosis' analysis of the game), it's mostly due to the plot twists that're established in the final third of the story.
That's why I like MGS3 more; it's actually a fun game to play on top of having a pretty good story.
MGS3 and MGS2 are still good, but MGS3 has a slight edge because of the protagonist. You can play it standalone, and you will understand it, although you get some more fun if you played the other ones. Mainly because MGS3 is a prequel, you will remember how some characters in MGS3 turned out later in the story.Controls were fine and suited the 'dodge the cone' gameplay, it's just that the gameplay itself was pretty boring and repetitive, mostly consisting of running through the same grey corridors and orange catwalks on inane fetch quests and escort missions.

Is it true that MGS3 is the best one? Is it enjoyable as a standalone game that doesn't require me to sperg on the lore/plot from the other games?

MGS3's story is very comprehensible and the game very neatly ties a bow at the end of it.Is it true that MGS3 is the best one? Is it enjoyable as a standalone game that doesn't require me to sperg on the lore/plot from the other games?
