Metal Gear Solid 1 was the best in the series. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I recently replayed MGS1 for psx and then MGS2 for PS2. I just started up MGS3 and I cannot get into it.

I think I often read that people love MGS3, but I think MGS1 has the most interesting story and levels. I also think the bosses in MGS1 were much more fun than they were in MGS2.

Am I in the minority here? What other games would you recommend that capture the MGS1 vibe?

Metal Gear 2 was also good. We really missed out by not getting a port of that to the SNES or Genesis.

I’ll check it out. I never really tried those games.

You absolutely should, I got an MSX emulator to play MG2 and I loved it. I couldn't get the english patch to work but I used a translated script page online and just followed along lol

I tried the port that came with MGS3 Subsistance but I didn't like the changes to the artwork, I prefer Snake to look like Jeff Daniels

The story beats are so similar to MGS1, it's as if MGS1 is a 3D remaster. I think they kind of referenced that in MGS2 with the S3 Solid Snake Simulation thing.
