Should have left us hanging for 20 more years if this is what you were going to do with it

Play this on a CRT TV when the Internet is out

This game has no flaws to speak of, but it lacks the "oompf" that makes an all-time classic.

I still use the cups password to this day

Die in a fire you piece of fucking shit

The gameplay with the D-pad can be so infuriating at times, but it's worth it just for this absolute thriller of a story.

Unforgettable art direction and creative use of the Mario universe

It's better than the first game in every way except it doesn't call you a f*ggot anymore in the French version

I'll never not enjoy this game.

Hugely improved gameplay, incredible story, impressive art direction.

Why do you people hate it so much

The pinnacle of Metal Gear Solid. Experiencing it without knowning anything about MGS, you're lost and you can't play it to its full potential. But after playing all MGS games, what's in there is so close to GOAT tier. The overall hazy, onirical vibe of the story. The way the timeline ties together. The use of the inferior version of The Man who Sold the World. All of it oozes style.

If the game was like the Midgar section all the way throughout, it would be a Top-Tier RPG. But everything about that Sephiroth fellow keeps dragging the story down
