Alright I'm just going to put it out there personally I think MGS might be one the greatest if not the greatest videogame series of all time. Story wise,gameplay wise, legacy, influcence. MGS has it all. So my question is:Is MGS the GOAT?

It is a stealth game. Big point against it.
It feels cutscenes are a substitute for gameplay. Big point against it.
The story is kind of stupid when you think about it. Big point against it.
So no.

I don't think Metal Gear Sold is a Goat. I don't even think it's a Pig, or a Chicken.

At best it's a great game.

It's some great games and one of my favourite stealth games series but the best, no.

The stories from the ones Ive played were brliinat (Ive played pretty much all of them except half of 3, which I will soon on 3DS, and 4, which...I dunno) and the stealth is fun too, but I did prefer MGS 1 and 2 to any of the others, so in my opinion, no.

*Holds finger up to shush JD* "Pfft."

Yeah, I agree with this guy.

Not the best, but still one of my favorites. "Best" is a title reserved for nothing on an individual basis. My game library is what I deem as best.

Nothing can be the best thing of all time. Every single person with an opinion would have to agree upon something being the best. Nothing is the best of all time.

Personally? I think Metal Gear Solid is one of my favorite series of games ever, but it's certainly not the best game I've ever played. I'd say it's about 3rd or 2nd on the list of "My Best Games of All Time," but the first two are for another day.

Metal Gear Solid is a perfect example of what would happen if you mashed a pretentious JRPG story together with Splinter Cell.

I like them mostly, don't get me wrong, but best ever? Hell no. It's way too preachy and the story is a clusterfuck when you actually take a step back and look at it.

Almost... At the moment I can't think of any series that has been consistently as MGS has.

But Greatness is all a matter of opinion...

So No, its not the GOAT, and no series really can be if you ask me.

EDIT: But if someone were to make a list of the 10 or so greatest series, no matter how they were to arrange it and choose the games, then MGS would almost definitely be there.

I love the series to death, but I would not say it's the greatest of all time, but to me it comes really close.

When every Vault dweller turns 16, they must play Metal Gear Solid...

I'm sorry, what's going on?

What does a goat have to do with anything? I know you could eat a markhor in Snake Eater, is that it?

Best game series? No. Of all time? Immediately and always definitely no.

I think to call MGS the best game series of all time, you must be very young or starved on video games.

-The plot is derivative and full of holes

-characters and their voice actors are like Steven Seagal - but have all achieved the statistical singularity of being born with LESS talent than him

-the games are all 80% cutscenes

-the remaining 20% is a cliché filled, temporal lobe shriveling annoyance

-Solid Snake is a pathetic character concept.
Sorry to disapoint you sir but, I am not young and my library is vast. It's just I don't see any other franchises that have the flow or consistency that MGS has given. BTW-The story may be somewhat confusing but plot holes there are hardly. And to say Solid Snake is a pathetic character is very sad indeed.
