I don't like the Big Boss games

There. I said it. Snake Eater, Portable Ops, Peacewalker, Ground Zeroes, and Phantom Pain are all worse than Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2, and Metal Gear Solid 4.

In particular, Peacewalker, Ground Zeroes, and Phantom Pain are bad.

Snake Eater is okay, but only in the ways it's called back to in Guns of the Patriots. Otherwise I could do without it.

Portable Ops is okay, but only because if you exclude the other Big Boss games after MGS4, you could treat it as a sub par mobile port and ignore it.

MGS is best when it's Solid Snake.

MGS should have ended with 4. The games afterwards are bad and shouldn't be considered part of the core experience.
