This aged like complete dogshit, why does it get praised so much when it's effectively retconned in sequels

MGS is amazing, thief is forgotten and irrelevant

twin snakes is the one that's been retconned and shoved to the corner. MGS is fine, and most of the story has stayed in tact

its design paradigms are far more relevant than the overhead arcade stealth mgs went with.

sure, that's why it's so fondly remembered by everyone, and that's why immersive sims always turn up a profit to this day. Wait.

The smart money is on Thief, I don't care which one got consoomed more. Every stealth game on PC since has taken inspiration from it.

OOT swept every GOTY award that year, so why does it matter? By your logic every single game from 1998 was shit except Zelda

Irrelevant genre.

Because MGS, MGS killed the entire genre. Just like Smash killed traditional fighting games, and Halo killed FPS
