This review contains spoilers

A young, insecure Revolver Ocelot nearly bringing down a plane so he can play a cute little prank and impress his hero/crush Big Boss and then doing his stupid little hand guns before jumping out at 200MPH while like 50 feet off the ground... coolest little cringeboy alive. That is the appeal of MGS3 to me; its characters, world and even gameplay just feel so alive and vibrant compared to the deliberately alienating and cold tone of 2. This is the Metal Gear game that I think comes the closest to conveying a fun, sexy, heartfelt spy thriller through its gameplay, and has easily the best setpieces in the series thus far. It also has The Fear which makes it an instant classic in my eyes
