Metal Gear Solid is an AAA series

EVERY Metal Gear Solid playstation game has at least one version out there that is AAA on both gamespot and game rankings. Metal Gear Solid was probably the most influential game in the 5th generation of consoles. Metal Gear Solid 2 was one of the definitive games of last generation and is widely cited as one of the finest examples of PS2 era innovation.

Metal Gear Solid 4 is one of the most impressive games ANY OF US has ever seen. Stop denigrating one of the greatest series' in videogaming and stop comparing it to crap like "Splinter Cell Conviction". MGS4 is the pinnacle of the stealth action genre not a hobo fighting simulator starring some snake wannabe with a forgettable name.

Why for MGS to be good does splinter cell have to be bad?

Also personally I'd go with GTA for most influential game of last generation.

yeah i love both splinter cell and mgs, i like mgs more but still splinter cell is soo good. chaos theory was jus omg so good.

Whats with the MGS hate lately?

Kojima sucks/overrated, MGS4 graphics are terrible...

but seriously you don't need to defend MGS4, it will be huge regardless and everyone knows this even if they don't admit it.

the predictable fan-boys are just scared (though i don't know seeing as they don't work for Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo)

I'd call it the most controversial and popular, but I don't know about influential.

what about the PSP versions? splinter cell is just as good as metal gear and in some ways better. even kojima said that when splinter cell was shown at E3 for the first time. MGS is a....solid series. but splinter cell has been also.prodiqy32

The only area in which Splinter Cell beats MGS is the multiplayer, the rest of it is PURE GARBAGE

cakeorrdeath

So would I. But you have to admit that MGS2 was a huge deal. The excitement surrounding the demo was palpable

Also Splinter Cell doesn't have to be bad, just inferior. And it is. It's just another generic Tom Clancy borefest for wannabe navy seals and the easily amused

thats your opinion

imo splinter cell double agent > any mgs

maybe it was, with the amount of clones it inspired.

but then again resident evil 4 is right now inspiring many similar titles.

Spliner Cell 1-90.5
Pandora Tomorrow-92.2
Chaos Theory-94
Double Agent-84.6

Phew, those are some horrible games. Truly garbage.

I'd put that at number 2.

1. MGS = AA
2. MGS2 = AAA
3. MGS3= AA

Actual for its lifespan SC has pulled in higher scores but, I prefer MGS.

Wasn't Driver and Driver 2 on PS1 a sandbox game?

both of you are being silly. These games arent trying to appeal to everybody. So it comes down to preference. for splinter cell you really have to be into proper stealth. for mgs you have to be interested in the story and its version of stealth is slightly more action orientated.

lol...the funniest thing i heard today :D MGS story is stupid?? Maybe its to deep for you,to understand it,doesnt make it stupid at all :D Its the other way. Brilliant at least. And thats one of the huge differences with SCs series also. Story-director-soundtrack-sounds-depth > > SC by far. If you like more SC its ok,your taste.But MGS as a game is better overall,you like it or not :D

The sandbox sty-le of genre had been around along time before GTA.

You're sounding more and more like a typical Sony fanatic by the day. If the rest is 'PURE GARBAGE', then explain the scores the series has recieved?

What genre is that? Gamespot lists it as Action Adventure.

It created plenty of rip offs, but I don't know about a genre.

Hey, don't knock the awesome quirkiness of the MGS franchise. Besides, The End = one of the best boss fights evar.

Just to know about MGS score...

Thru 31 reviews back at 98 from top sites,GS and other 2 out of 31 gave the worst SCORE of the game.

Most of sites gave 9,5/10 4.5/5. Overall score from 31 total = 9.3!! Thats AAA.

Now for MGS3 its kinda the same with 95 reviews (including GS) it got 9.1 overall. Thats AAA also. This time Reviews were more than 90+.Thats x3 the number of MGSone.This time GSs score was better. Total score via 91 reviews 9.1!! Thats AAA

Blog it. Also, you have no idea what MGS is going to be like. It isn't out for at least another year. dhjohns

Were you saying the same about halo 3

Ah, I see what you're saying. Yes, the fact people compare the two is astounding. I guess since they are both considered stealth games, people think that alone means they can compete them agaisnt one another. But, that really means they haven't played both extensively. As a fan of both, I can write an essay over the differences between the two game series.

AzatiS

But he said all the MGS games are AAA on GS, and since both MGS and MGS3 wreren't AAA that is false. Also for Gamerankings MGS: PO is not AAA.

I agree completely. Great post.

I don't think the comparason will ever stop but at this point it's like a red flag that the guy doing the comparing knows jack about the two series.Riverwolf007

I KNOW he doesn't. You should have seen the posts he was making last night regarding 360 games. He was totally clueless.
