I haven't but I want to... I'm on a Snake Eater run ATM and want to continue the Big Boss story chronologically. I'll probably get a Vita to play it, too.

Anyways, do you have any opinions on the game or whatever? I've heard mixed things about it, stuff about the controls and story and such... but I think the controls would basically be fixed with the dual analogue sticks on the Vita, right?

Something tells me you have the biggest boner for the Metal Gear series.

I bet you even like Snake's Revenge.

I do in fact have a solid snake for the MG series.

Meh... I mean, Snake's revenge is alright. It's no MG2, though.

But anything pre-MGS2 is almost unplayably dated.

I tried to play the HD collection, having never played the 2nd and third ones.

Sons of Liberty was....clunky.  For a 360 anyway.  Snake Eater was definitely much more fun to play.  Never played Guns of the Patriots ,but I did watch a "movie" of it...well the game's a movie anyway, you play maybe 5 minutes of a 7+hour game.

Revengeance was an absolute blast to play.  I always had a thing for Raiden and Cyborg Ninjas, so that was a nice treat.

Ground Zeroes...I stayed away from mainly because, like Angry Joe said, it's a well-crafted but VERY overpriced demo.  I'll just wait until Phantom Pain comes in.

I actually prefer SoL over Snake Eater, even in terms of gameplay. It felt a bit more like a traditional MGS game, whereas Snake Eater was more Tomb Raider than anything else. Both very good games though.

MGS4 is awful. Story especially, gameplay was solid in the first sections of the game.

Ive actually never played Revengeance. Not a fan of Raiden.

Ground Zeroes is the most fun to play, but its really short. Im so excited for TPP you dont even know.

Some parts aren't. Kojima hasn't told us what is and isn't, though.

I'm just craving a new Metal Gear experience, that's why I'm wondering.

I played it, and while it's not canon (or so I hear), I really enjoyed it for what it was. It was nice to see Big Boss building up his army. Peace Walker was the one I could never get into sadly.

I hear it's given a passing mention in Peace Walker, so I suppose it's kinda canon, but Kojima apparently doesn't like it. Take that as you will.

Meh, I consider it canon since it's not breaking things too much. I honestly thought Peace Walker was the more boring of the two.

I could never finish it. I never liked the presentation of the story and the gameplay was nothing special.

Portable Ops was alright. It really just feels like a worse Peace Walker though. If you are a huge MGS fan (which I can tell you are) then get it.
