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?

It's probably more because it was my first and I've played it far more than any other game in the series, but I love MGS1 too.

Part of it is that Kojima's weirdness is reigned in a bit so the story is tight and relatively easy to understand while still having meta stuff like the psycho-mantis shenanigans, which was a fairly new thing in the 1990s.

I like MGS2 best because the weirdness isn't reigned in as much but still more than the following games ๐Ÿ˜
