Mark with a Z

For most people it’s harder to hate Valve with the positive things they do. Obviously they shouldn’t get a pass for this, but forming a conflicted opinion seems to be against human nature.

People not already familiar with the series would be very confused.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot.

MG1 or MGS1 are the obvious choices. I guess PW might work too to continue from MGS Triangle.

Twin Snakes was a funny, slightly different take. Action cutscenes were very over the top and probably influenced by The Matrix. The map was exactly the same, but the new mechanics from MGS2 broke it in favor of the player. Voice lines were re-recorded and the performances are kinda bad.

TS isn’t exactly the definitive edition, but it’s still enjoyable. Either way, unlike Snake Eater, MGS1 needs a big redesign if it were remade to modern standards.
