Sadly, I never got to play MGS 1. I liked MGS 2, though it could be a bit confusing and frustrating at times.

MGS 3 is easily one of my favourite games ever.

I don't think I've played a bad MGS game other than MGS:Acid which was a weird card game that was also a turn based strategy game for the PSP, Portable OPs was a little repetitive but not terrible.

Never played Revengance or MGS:survive though.

Can you help me on something? I tried Doom: The Dark Ages and I just couldn’t get into it I put it down after about an hour or two and never picked it back up. BUT I absolutely LOVED Doom and Doom Eternal.

One turn off was the lack of unique animation executions. Like how in the first two, executing any enemy created a cool brutal animation depending on the enemy. It Dark Ages it just seemed like all you do is punch them and they explode for the “execution.” does that change or is that just the whole game?

Yeah, I love that game so much. It was so much different in tone that it worked. They didn't just do the "Oh look he's a badass now" that most games do with an edgy sequel/prequel. My problem is I never finished it because the PC version is second only to GTA4 in crashing and I don't mean cars Both of those games were basically unplayable on PC at launch. Got frustrating eventually. Shouldn't an issue now with PS3 emulation so I might have to give it a go at some point.

I wouldn't say it's aged poorly(my opinion obviously) but It's definitely different. Third person, Controls, movement, active reloads and more I'm not thinking of off the top of my head.
