YEAH, WELL, THEY'RE ALL VERY MEMORABLE UH... MOMENTS? And you definitely should give it a try, especially since they recently released all three of the first games in a single $30 collection; one's for PS1, and two are for PS2. (I mean, if you like, borrowed it from someone already and liked it or something. 8D;) The original MGS doesn't have much gay (aside from a run-of-the-mill torture scene and uh... Liquid Snake), but after that, it COMES OUT IN FULL FORCE and only gets better worse as the series progresses. MGS4 upped the ante even more, which I didn't think could be possible until now.
Of course, aside from the gratuitous gay, this series is awesome in terms of plot and character development (the first one is pretty rough-around-the-edges, but it's a good first step!), and it's one of the only series I've seen that consciously uses the interactivity of the video game medium to enhance the plot or to illustrate the meaning of the message they're trying to express, most notably in MGS2 (although the format of a lot of the storytelling in that one uh... kinda needs work XD). At the same time, they get progressively more cinematic as the series progresses, and in MGS4... holy crap, not only are the cutscenes EPIC, but some of the playable scenes genuinely feel like being in the middle of a blood-pumping action movie.
