It's funny, but after me and a buddy played Guns of the Patriots, we looked at each other and laughed about how bad the whole fucking plot was, and that it was just there to reel back all the retardation of MGS2.
We realized this right off the bat.
How fucking retarded will this MGS be?

If you think MGS2's plot was retarded, then you really have no taste. MGS2 was a deconstruction of video games that was years ahead of its time.

You can use ad hominem arguments all you want but that doesn't make the themes of the game any less truthful.

You ain't missing much on either front.
Despite what Random says, 2 was shit, utter utter shit.

If there was an anti-brofist, a... ragefist, per se, you would be already dead.

If you don't like the gameplay in 3, then you probably won't like 2 either, since 2's gameplay is much less refined and advanced than 3's. CQC is a great system by all means.

If you don't like the story in 3, you definitely won't like 2's story either.

I am actually being a little fake rough, but I had a really poor experience 'cause I didn't really play with the systems (e.g. I never messed with the guards any more than I needed to); I just plowed through while abjectly hating the cutscene-story stuff.

Then I saw an LP or something where the guy messed around endlessly in every area and against every boss like it was a Tony Hawk game, holding up guards and triggering alerts and shit and it looked better so I guess I can comprehend why some people like it

Yeah, the bread and butter of MGS gameplay is screwing around with all the shit you can do. If you rush through the game too quickly you won't get a chance to stop and smell the roses, so to speak.

IMO MGS3 had the best gameplay in the series.

I'm a faggot? You're the one who likes a game with this as the main character:

What, you don't like him? Are you some kind of faggot? Look at his chiseled body, his limitless flexibility and grace, his beautiful feathered white hair... Oh god, I'm already fapping! UNF! UNF! HNNNNNNGH! :bounce:

They're bad animu movies with minigames attached.
Just proved that you don't know anything about MGS, and didn't play any of it. MGS games NEVER had minigames.
I only played the first 2 games.
Crawl on some grass, hit menu, change camo, crawl on some dirt, hit menu, change camo, crawl on some grass, hit menu, change camo, crawl past nearly blind guard from jungle corridor A to jungle chokepoint B.

Hit menu, eat a frog.
