Is this objectively the best game ever made?

Pretty sure this board will tell you it's Bloodborne.

It's not even the best Metal Gear on the PS2.

There's no such thing as an objective truth if it cannot be scientifically proven, an even those can be biased.
Great game but fuck your choice of words.

it's whatever game is your favorite, user :)

No, but it's up there

Nothing will ever compare to playing this game on release day. The graphics and attention to detail were fucking amazing.

Anybody who disagrees is a zoomer who played it for the first time on xbox 360 and should drink bleach immediately.

Give me your top games right now, interested in seeing what you have ahead of this

Until the Plant shit starts, you mean. It was still very good but took a noticeable and jarring nosedive in quality, especially back when nobody knew about or expected it.

The camera is hot garbage.
I love MGS2, I really do. It's got one of the best vidya stories and they gameplay itself is more than solid, but the camera and the controls have not aged well in the slightest.

In the MGS series alone 1 and 3 are better.

It's better than MGS3 certainly

MGS3 > MGS1 > Power Gap > MGS2 > Shit > MGS4 > PW > MGS5

It was good, but I only played it twice. Whereas I played 1,3,4 more times than I can remember. I don't know why really. I think it had something to do with the setting. It remained the same the entire game, but the other games had a more variety.

Thematically the best Metal Gear due to how scarily accurate it is.

2's camera never bothered me thanks to the radar. The initial release of 3 was fucking painful though.

There's no objectivity in art.

I know nobody gives a shit about my blog post, but I have a surreal relation to this game.

My parents never bought me games out of 'free will' as a kid, but only ever if I requested them. Makes sense too. At the time this game came out, already transitioned to buying my own games. I never mentioned anything to my parents and they knew jack shit about video games, but I stayed home from school because I had a feverish flu and laid in bed all day. My mom went grocery shopping and when she same back, she entered my room and casually handed me this game, just asking briefly if I'd like it to cheer me up during my illness. I was dumbfounded and just replied: "Yes, thank you." I was so baffled.

To this day I don't understand how my mother got this particular game in her hands, what provoked her to buy it and how/if she even knew what it was. All I know is it was was a really awesome week and that fate made me play it.

you should ask her

Hmmmm..this actually kind of happened to me too. My parents (mother really) bought me a ps2 for christmas i think because i asked for it. I remember getting MGS2 as well with it. I knew of MGS but had never played them, I was more into Final Fantasy, Soul Calibur, GTA, etc. I had MGS2 actually for a awhile before I had actually decided to play it.
I remember it was my first year of college when I finally did. It kicked my ass. It's my personal favorite. Other games I played just did not approach those subjects. I went into it blind and was absolutely floored. I know there are better games out there but MGS2 is my all time favorite
Anyways, I've a feeling my mom just asked the salesman for recommendations. She also got me Myst when it came out a long time ago and that was fun too. Mom's prolly just ask for recs

Only thing it does better than 3 is that it has superior frame rate.

Well it aint even the best in it's genre The OG Thief trilogy kick the shit out of this "game" in terms of stealth gameplay, as does Chaos Theory and Blood Money. Idk where redditors have this meme where MGS2 is so good.

Not him but...
> Idk where redditors have this meme where MGS2 is so good.
Does splinter cell or Hitman pose philosophical questions? i.e. free will/illusion of free will. does it talk about evolution at all? I didnt think Hitman really broke the 4th wall...How does chaos theory take explicit advantage of videogames as a medium and manipulate the interactive element of it? do those games touch upon environmentalism or technology in any interesting/creative ways? If they do I need to play them!
In other words...
>(you)

Yes there is, retard.

What a crock of shit.

>copy pasted gameplay from 1 with barely any new additions
>horrible, boring setting
>level design worse than the first game
>mind numbingly bad story that only gets praised for the last hour segment
>characters that are not characters, like all Kojima games. They exist to deliver hours of exposition and do nothing else

Lol no. It's a meme game that only literal retards like. The only good parts are the impressive visuals/framerate, some of the music and ideas here and there, like that Gurlukovich soldier who pisses on you.

You're the biggest brainlet ITT if you think Kojima's flaming garbage stories are in any way intellectual or philosophical.

I know he's not a progenitor but come the fuck on man. You have to recognize (and by extension appreciate) how ambitious MGS2 is. I's also of the opinion Fukushima had a lot to do with it...

Who cares I want to play a game not watch a movie. I have Stephen King and David Lynch if I want to watch pretentious garbage

Thing is, both King and Lynch are actual writers/directors, unlike Kojima who is a complete and utter hack on all fronts.

Since just about every room in the big shell is boring as fuck after clearing them once, and the cut ending fucked the game in the ass - no.

The best game in the world remains Thief - The Dark Project for actual gamers or Tetris if you have to include casuals.

peace walker has the best narrative, characters and soundtrack. fight me

If those are all necessary criteria for you to enjoy a game then objectivity has gone out the fucking window. Christ, I like all those things and somehow you managed to make them sound dull as shit. Well done.
