I was thinking about getting into metal gear solid, which game do i start off with?
just play them in release date order,
anyone who tells you to play in cannon order is a moron.
The zombie one
release order, starting with either metal gear solid 1 or metal gear 1 and 2 if you can enjoy retro stuff
Why do people ask these stupid fucking questions? Every single time it’s always going to be in chronological order
release order
oh geez, I dont know. maybe the first one?
Just start with the last one bro seems like a great idea
fuck off, chronological is the worst fucking way to play MGS
1,2,3,4, Rising, 5
Play the substance/subsistence versions if you have them (typically standard in the bundles)
it's cool if you're a lore autist who already played release order but otherwise yeah it's a terrible idea
Just play Solid and ignore everything else because they are all shit.
Play the release order, if you are wondering how the timeline for the story is then:
MGS3 > Peace Walker > MGS5GZ > MGS5PP >MGS1 > MGS2 > MGS4
But still play it in release, that’s just the chronological order of what you will see.
In this order:
MGS1 (original not the remake)
MGS2 substance
MGS3 subsistence (not snake eater)
MGS4
MGS Peace Walker
Metal gear (MSX not the NES version)
Metal gear 2 Solid snake (MSX)
Spin offs worth playing:
Ghost Babel
Revengeance
Only if its on sale:
Ground Zeroes
Avoid:
MGSV (a complete disappointment, just ignore it)
MGS Survive (lol)
Twin snakes. Fuck what anyone says op
Reverse alphabetical order is the optimal way to play
Anyone saying otherwise is a Kojimbo shill
2 was a great start, lie if you want, it prepared me for the stupidity psuedo-serious nature hideo has been preparing and refining for decades.
I look forward to fat ass man, who tragically did squat thrusts and got a fat ass, despite it actually being muscular from squat thrusts. His super power is he makes asses slim by doing something the main character cant do or can do 80 times better.
portable ops is okay play it if you want, who gives a fuck
matrix wank bullshit, fun but bad for a first impression
The portable games are the easiest thanks to ppsspp
Seconding this entire list.
MGSV wouldn't be so disappointing if you missed the relentless hype. it's still an excellent stealth game
>telling people to avoid the best game in the series
so is mgs 5 and ground zeros not important to the story?
mgs2 is on the list of must play
not at all
...
Darn sick and tired of people having the nerve to say a metal gear game is too over the top
You must be a zoomer that grudgingly sat through the old ones so you could understand the story.
what are the substance versions?
Start with mgs 1 for the GameCube it's slightly different than the original ps1 version
MGS2 substance and MGS3 subsistence are the versions inluded in the HD collections. (More VR missions in 2 and a new camera in 3). Just dont buy the original ps2 games with the titles "sons of liberty" and "snake eater".
the "must", best and easiest it to get
>Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection
and play every game in release order, each game has things to do (modes) besides Story
Play any of these spin-offs, this order being the best
Ghost Babel
ac!d 1 and 2
Portable Ops (then Portable Ops Plus if you liked PO and want lots of "missions")
Revengeance
Now:
Play the originals if you still want more and can handle them (release order, obviously):
Metal gear (MSX not the NES version)
Metal gear 2 Solid snake (MSX)
IIRC the PS2 version of MGS3: Subsistence has both and more modes than the HD version
OR: Trying playing the Online versions that some games have (IIRC:PO, PO+, PW, MGS3:S and MGS4)
Congrats, the biggest retard of the day award goes to you!
Stop
