Rank the Metal Gear Solid games.

I'm ranking only the games I've played and completed, which is the main MGS games with MGS1-MGS5. Never played any of the PSP games because I never had a PSP.
1. MGS3. Everything that has been said about this game has been said. The story, the presentation. My favorite PS2 game ever.
2. MGS1. Started the modern franchise on PS. First experienced this game on a demo disc from Pizza Hut and I was hooked since. I remember being sad when the demo ended after you got into the vent in the area where the Hind helicopter was after you got the SOCOM in the truck. The Gamecube remake, The Twin Snakes, was excellent, just wish it had come out for PS2 or Xbox.
3. MGS5. I'm lumping in Ground Zeroes and the main game Phantom Pain into here. Just a brilliant concept and natural progression for the franchise as more and more people want open world experiences. Just depressing knowing this might be the last great MGS game thanks to Konami fricking everything up.
4. MGS4. An amazing game and my favorite PS3 game ever. It's an A+ game, but I realized it's the game I replayed the least. Probably one of the best displays of the PS3's capabilities. Can only imagine how beautiful it would have been on the PC.
4. MGS2. Good follow up to the first game. I can complain about the Raidan plot but that's been done before, so I won't. Essential early PS2 game.

Copying the idea for a ranking thread?

I only played 1 2 and 3.
MGS 1 is the best, blew everyone away for it's time.

1. Metal Gear (NES)
2. MSG 3
The rest were incredibly pretentious games imo. Something always felt off about the presentation and game systems, for being fairly simple games. I toyed with 5 and thought it was good, but again, meh.

1 - tGOAT
3 - Awesome ending & boss fights
Peace Walker - Polarizing, but I loved it
2 - Great job at theme development, but boring 2nd half
5 - Passable. Great mechanics, awful gameplay
4 - Kojima smacks fans in the face with his own feces

MGS4 was so beautiful, but was the least fun to play imo. Essentially a 20+ hour movie.
MGS5 is probably the most fun to frick around in, but had a pretty lame story.
MGS1 and 3 were definitely 1 and 2 in some order. Just great story and good gameplay.
MGS2 wasn't awful, but pretty forgettable.
So I would agree with your 5 exactly.

I meant the whole AI plot... and Solidus fight and Vamp and the others...just all around more boring than 1 and 3

2 was anything but boring, which is what I'd classify 3.

I’ve only played the first 4. Started 5 but after repeatedly hearing that the story was weak I stopped playing before I invested too much time into it. With that said -
1. 3
2. 1
3. 2
4. 4

MGS2 the game was pretty good
MGS2 the characters and story were abortions
Makes MGS2 hard to evaluate fairly
