GAmesRadar recounts the seminal action-stealth series:
"For an outsider, it's hard to see what's so damn special about any 3rd person action-stealth game these days. We get a Splinter Cell almost annually and Vampire Rain ain't exactly lighting the world on fire. So, why do gamers like us constantly heap massive amounts of praise for writer/producer/director Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid series? Somehow, his successful formula of flawed characters, anime-inspired giant robots and whacked-out villains with more emotional baggage than your ex-girlfriend yields an endearing mix of battlefield drama and quirky comedy."

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD have been delisted from digital stores without warning.
Stupid headline. Should state that they are being updated or discontinued. This makes the crazy people that only read headlines think it some kind of conspiracy to take away peoples already purchased games.
If you want to all of a sudden own them now and haven't played them yet because a remastered is coming out, shame on you. I can't believe people are complaining about this 15 years later when it was bound to happen anyway. "A new remaster is out, quick, I'd better buy the original from the shop."
Gamers: "Physical? who needs physical? everyone knows that digital online games are the future. stop living in the past. we don't need no stinking disc drive"
Same gamers: "How dare the delist a digital game that I own!!!!"

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is a remake of the original 2004 PlayStation 2 game from Konami and is now available on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5 and PC.

Eight seminal games were released on the gaming market between October 26 and November 23, 2004. Twenty years later, here's Wccftech's retrospective.
You're not gonna include Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal or Jak 3 on that list? Just change it to Fall 2004 Releases and include the masterpiece that is Sly 2.
For me the most definitive moments were:
5.Wolf shoots Meryl in MGS1.
4.When I saw old Snake in MGS4.
3.Enter the Solidus! (MGS2)
2.The tragic death of Grey Fox by Metal Gear in MGS1.
1.The last battle with the Boss and the aftermath when we learn more. "Loyal to the end"
for me is psychomatis and grayfox.
a single moment in any ps game is better than an entire xbox game.
yeah. its that sad.
God, just the plot twists in general is what does it for me. Running around having no idea in holy hell who your superiors are, and what their true motives are is interesting as hell. Truly one of my favorite series (Final Fantasy being the other.) Both series deliver an exceptional amount of storyline, gameplay, and tactics in to one big bundle of sex.
but for me, the storyline is far too cheesey and the games are full of very long cheesey cutscenes.
but i still love the games for the gameplay.
