The codec conversations from Peace Walker was beyond the level of Oscar worthy. It was so damn good. MGS 5 seemed to be gameplay overkill and from the reviews it seemed Deus Ex: Mankind Divided had the same issue. 2 is my favorite and 4 is odd. I really really really love that game but not really because the game was good. It's just everything about the game was so amazing. Probably that's how Ulysses (novel) gets so much love.

BTW I made another post on MGS focusing on some of things that I love the most about the franchise: https://steemit.com/gaming/@vimukthi/the-genius-and-the-prophecies-of-hideo-kojima-and-metal-gear-the-works-of-project-itoh-must-see-video-collection
