Nah. Fixed camera angles for the first two or three games is awful design for a stealth game. wtf was kojima thinking? :hhh:

Couldn't shoot out lights or crouch walk for years.

Less of a focus on how much sound you make

Before mgsv shooting was a pain in the ass and the combat as a whole was really clunky.

Before V level design was consistently linear and doesn't encourage finding different points of infiltration or replay.

ive only played splinter cell 3 but thats still the GOAT stealth game ever made. Kicks the shyt out of every mgs ive played.
These guys are just sticking up for MGS because they enjoy the anime. Saying MGS had great gameplay before MGS V is laughable. HITMAN, the older ones had better stealth gameplay than MGS 1-4.

Bullshyt. And the gameplay for MGS 1 was dope. There was NOTHING like it when it dropped and it spawned a bunch of imitators stealth gameplay wise. shyt even Tenchu took from the MGS gameplay style. Don't get forgetful cause MGS4 wasn't that great. Either way. The games as a WHOLE. MGS 1-3 >>>>> Splinter Cell series aside from Chaos Theory. But I will say the last Splinter Cell as a whole game >>> MGSV as a whole game I don't care what no one say.

At the end of the day I enjoy the whole package, not just a part. Splinter Cell doesn't hold a candle to MGS. If you're one of those guys who just don't care for the story/characters/world of MGS then sure SC may be better but... nah. MGSV destroyed any "gameplay" that SC had over it. All a theoretical MGS6 would need is an engaging narrative/pacing and it'll be ace.

Metal Gear and it isn't even close. Solid Snake is one of my favorite characters in any game along with Gray Fox (even though he is only playable in MGS1's VR Missions). The gameplay got better and better with each game but the stories after Snake Eater weren't as good as the ones before (not counting the MSX2 titles because I haven't played them).

The first 3 splinter cells were the shyt, but then it fell off.

I could still throw on splinter cell, chaos theory, and pandora. those games held up well..

It's funny because the first mgs game I played was mgs 5.

Both have deviated from what made the franchises great. Metal Gear is better as a franchise, but only by a small margin. There are some elements from the Splinter Cell franchise that are great.

Splinter Cell 1 and 2, imo, are toe to toe with MGS 1 and 3.
