Have your thoughts on the series changed over the years?

When I first played through MGS3 it was my instant fave. I have played it more than any of the others. Big Boss is more personable than Snake, and little me couldn't get enough of the misunderstood villain trope that Big Boss was written to be. Having replayed it after a good 8ish year gap I feel that hinging Big Boss' crash out over the Boss is a stretch. I know Kojima reaches ALOT but I guess I just buy it a little less after its sat with me a few years.

I used to die on the hill that MGS3 was the greatest game of all time. I really came to appeciate MGS2 for how far forward thinking it was for a game released in what 2001? Amazing. I really feel like I was too young to appredciate its themes since I would of beeeeeeeeeen 9 at the time I first played it. Maturing is realising MGS2 is the best haha
