I want to play a game and not spend half of my time in menus. One of the many reasons this game is awful. Having to go in to eat, mess with my backpack, change camo, etc. is a fucking chore.

I unabashedly love every single part of MGS3. I own both Snake Eater and Subsistence, and finished both multiple times. It was also my first Metal Gear and I played it as a young teenager, so the nostalgia factor is huge for me. Obviously, I went on to play 1 and 2 as well, but 3 remains my favorite. I really like Ground Zeroes a lot though, not because of the Kojima weirdness, of course, as that game is sorely lacking in it unfortunately, but just because the gameplay is so goddamned good. It's the first MGS I speedran, and I ended up getting a few S ranks along the way too. If MGS5 can deliver on the tight gameplay teased in Ground Zeroes (which I'm confident it will), while also bringing the Kojima weirdness hot and heavy, it may end up being one of my favorite games, period.
