IIRC the weird controls are present in all the MGS games from I to IV (or maybe III?). I mean: selecting weapons with the shoulder buttons, etc., etc. MGS III is the first one in the series were you can control the camera, and that's only in one of the two versions that exist.
It's an... acquired taste so to speak, from an era were controls weren't as standard as they are now. So you either play the games as they are or you don't.
And I did, it took some getting used to but I don't regret it.
I played both versions of MGS. I played Twin Snakes first, so I was not familiar enough with the original game as to care about the changes, but I played the PS1 version later and I think it was a little harder?
Anyway, these are archaic games, MGSV is almost 10 years old and probably the only one that could be considered "modern" by today's standards although I think IV is close and the gameplay is a weird mix between the "if they see you you're fucked" from the earlier games and "but you're free to do whatever you want" from V. It's more like a third person shooter in some ways, similar to Gears of War and games from that era of gaming.
Maybe for the people who fell asleep watching 9 hours of cutscenes in IV (including a single 71min cutscene). If you're fast you can beat MGS twice while watching them.

Weird, the general vibe I've seen around MGS games is that IV is easily the worst and V is great
