I've only ever heard about MGS3 being incredibly silly and cutscene heavy, sempai. What makes it so good that it must be played?
It's like asking what makes a Picasso so great, anon. The game is the manifestation of individual imagination so brilliant, vivid, and different from our own that we feel enlarged just by partaking in the dream that is the work itself. I won't spoil any of the details, but on the design side, the Kojima that decided to have a psychic boss you can defeat by plugging your controller into port 2 is on full display here, but with a new level of sophistication. There are tons of hidden and surprising interaction everywhere. On the story side, there are nodes of hard realism coated in and strung together with myth-like (or maybe even dream-like) relations. There's real talk about the cold war but also the myth of the cold war and a strong character story running through it all...
Anyway, just watch this trailer
(and turn on the english closed captioning)

I can't recommend it highly enough. It's in my top 10 of all time, for sure.
