    Compare it to Half-Life 2 Episode Two and honestly there's no contest for me, one is a tight narrative experience and the other drags in places, I know I'm biased since this series is basically why I got into gaming but I stand by it

  2. ArcadeWarden2

    Man, some evenings I just stare at this ranking and remember being a kid who thought it was untouchable.

    IronPlayer

    Same thing happened with my group growing up, everyone treated it like gospel and I never quite got why myself

    gonna be the guy who says it, ranked 321st and honestly some of that is deserved, the camo system is genius but the inventory menu fumbling gets old fast when u just wanna eat a snake and move on lol

    QuestDragon2005

    Fair point on the mise en scène, though the boss fight itself still holds up for me

    LuckyNinja2000

    Genius camo, clunky menu, still beats most shooters people rank higher

  4. NovaWolf1994

    Is it really aging as well as people claim here?

    BossNinja1986

    Does it really hold up against something like Far Cry 4 in pure pacing terms?

  5. Cosmo_Runolfsdottir

    the boss fight with the sniper alone deserves a higher spot than this honestly, one of the best in any game i've played

    RogueNinja62

    Ce fameux boss du sniper, tout le monde le cite pareil, j'ai fini par voter contre lui plus par lassitude que par conviction

  6. Audrey_55

    Never finished it in one sitting but every session I put in convinced me a bit more why it's still talked about

  7. TurboSamurai2007

    Only played it for a weekend at a friend's place, the survival stuff felt more tedious than tense to me honestly

    prohaska_geraldine

    Weekend or not, calling it tedious ignores how much tension that survival layer actually adds

  8. Bayer15

    Never got past the camo mechanics honestly, spent more time managing that than actually enjoying the stealth parts I came for

    LuckyRider

    Ce boss, je m'en souviens comme si c'était hier, même si à l'époque je passais plus de temps à mourir qu'à viser juste

  9. Audreanne_1999

    the multiplayer used to actually matter for its ranking, now everyone just remembers the campaign and votes on that alone, it changes how it compares to shooters that still have people playing online today

    HaileyKnight

    the multiplayer debate again, some things never change on this site

    LootPlayer95

    Replying to HaileyKnight

    oh right, the multiplayer debate, truly a topic nobody has ever recycled before

    LootSamurai87

    MGO deserved its own respect, that's the part nobody brings up when they only talk campaign now

    Lo jugué en casa de mi primo un verano entero, recuerdo que nos turnábamos cada vez que moríamos, que era bastante seguido al principio, y al final los dos sabíamos los diálogos de memoria

    GhostWolf

    didn't you two ever get tired of retelling the same childhood memory instead of judging the game on its own?

    AbdullahKnight

    same story every time, dying together, memorizing lines together, and none of it moves the needle on where this sits now

  11. RetroSniper19

    La cámara fija en ciertas zonas realmente arruina la experiencia, arruina cualquier intento de jugar con fluidez en esos tramos concretos

    LootRex2

    Recuerdos aparte, lo que importa es si sigue ganando duelos contra juegos más nuevos, y por lo visto sí

    IronKid3

    Replying to LootRex2

    Not sure it still wins that much

  12. Faivre4

    Le classement bouge peu pour ce jeu depuis un moment, il reste stable autour de cette place malgré les duels réguliers contre des titres plus récents

    LootNinja25

    Weird seeing it called stable, I remember checking its rank obsessively for weeks back then

  13. CritRunner70

    Ah sí, la obra maestra intocable, qué raro que nadie mencione lo lento que es al principio

    fatima_barragan

    Lento al principio tal vez, pero a mí me atrapó justo en esa parte lenta

  14. lenoir_bernadette

    À côté d'un GTA V ou d'un Far Cry, il paraît minuscule en contenu, ça joue forcément sur sa place

    SammieDragon

    I get the content gap complaint but the camo work alone took me way longer than any GTA sidequest

  15. GlitchOwl95

    Bref, la mise en scène a bien vieilli mais l'infiltration en elle-même montre ses limites dès qu'on la compare à des jeux plus récents du genre
