Much like the original MGS.

I really wish they'd put Twin Snakes on the HD Collection, probably would have bought it on release.

Oh come on. My brother's a huge Kojima fanboy, and even he laughs at some of the shit from the first MGS.

All down to individual perception really. It was probably the first game I really got invested into the story. It kept me going forward, and I enjoyed all of it, and when I had a PS3 a couple of years ago, I bought it again to play through a few times. Did the same with Twin Snakes when I had a Wii.

Not saying it was completely flawless, but then nothing is. It all depends on the gamer really.

Lets face it, millions of people play COD, and I think it's steaming horse crap for the most part.

No, just agreeing with a comment that the story was perfect and Fangerl struggled to find flaws with the game. Well, more specifically, you likened his praise of one game to another. If you didn't think it merited similar compliments, you probably shouldn't have likened.

Which, to be fair, Fangerl struggles to find flaws in anything above second grade. PLot holes to him are probably just more "I don't get it."

Yes, but how many of them herald it as a great story? How many even play the story? Nobody's, to my knowledge, calling it anything of the sort. Well, except Fangerl within a week of release, followed by disc snapping and bad mouthing.

...And then purchase again in some instances.

Yes, millions of people play COD. How many of them heap such praise on it as your comparison would indicate.

Hell, COD is a primarily multiplayer franchise. Its focus is largely multiplayer. and both devs get death threats over broken elements of its focus. Since we're comparing the two, MGS is a primarily story-driven franchise. It's even used to justify the oft-shitty controls. MGS usually gets a pass on story from its fans. You know, its focus.

It's perception, alright. Warped perception. "The story doesn't have flaws if you ignore the flaws." That sort of thing.

Haha, jeez... that was way too much effort and thought put into someone else's opinion.

I was only saying that it's a matter of perception on what makes a great game to each person. My comparison to COD was simply that a lot of people love it, and I don't. You may not think the original MGS is that good at all, but I love it.
