its really hard to pick between 1-3 because those have always been the ones i love growing up lol.. actually, mgs4 does have my favorite gameplay. i've been playing it again recently after 10 years of being unable to touch it (persona 5 brutally murdered my ps3) and man it feels just as good as it did before...!! it feels really good and i avidly still play metal gear online 2 when i have the time for it...

but honestly i'd have to say mgs2 might be my favorite for its characters and its story... BUT THIS WAS A HARD CHOICE TO MAKE because i literally like just about every character kojima throws at you in these games....... bruh
