Recently played 4 again, and it's still one of the greatest games I've played
I have a nostalgic attachment to MGS4 since I didn't own a PS3 and had to beat the game via a hotel PS3 lol. I really love how it wraps up everything for the entire saga.
@@KayJulers MGS4 is the worse one for me, maybe I'll have some renewed appreciation for it once the port for modern systems comes out and I can replay it but that story of it but you beating it at a hotel is hilarious lol. Where were you on vacation?
@@KayJulersI had a similar experience my first play through. I didn't own a ps3 and had a friend from out of town staying over the weekend for some event. So I was like any chance you can bring your ps3, he did and I rented msg4. Stayed up 24 hours and beat it in 1 sitting, bloody great experience.
My PS3 is unrealiable.
Sometimes I can play it for hours then other times I can't even beat a Clank level in Ratchet & Clank Future A Crack In Time
This also makes me angry as I have MGS4 and actually want to play it
@@thescorpion2758 I don't think it's the worst. It was just Kojima trying to wrap everything as he was ready to pass it along so he put so much cutscenes. It won an award for having the longest cutscenes. The worst one was the twin snakes for being too easy with fancy graphics. The original was clunky and it has tension as mistakes is quite punishing.
Great video! Just picked up the master collection and am going to just do 1-2-3 in order because I don’t think I’ll be able to look at the PS1 graphics after playing through snake eater first haha
I mean you could always try the twin snakes if graphics bother you
@@Paccyd33 no!!! It wasn’t done right, but I guess the graphics is ok.
I enjoy your videos, can we see you play it on stream or uploaded videos of you playing it!?
I was LITERALLY thinking the same thing
Metal Gear Solid 3 for the 3Ds was the very first metal gear I played too! I played and beated it so many times and became a huge fan of Metal Gear
I never get to experience playing it on 3ds, I played on PS2 mgs 3 subsistence and when I saw mgs 3d it has that one added pack feauture that I wanted "the crouchwalk" and made me realize that 3d is way more easier than snake eater or subsistence. Try playing it in ps2 you'll get frustrated haha
i played mgs3 on xbox and boo 1950s seigon shert i thought it was shert like the rest of the series except mg rising
@@NeoMoonSevinMG Rising is for nancy boys
I agree 100%. Metal Gear is the greatest (IMO) video game series of all time. As a bit of an "Old Snake" I started out as a kid back in '87 with the first Metal Gear when a friend who couldn't beat the game gave it to me to try and I haven't looked back since! So it's always cool to me to see younger generations discovering it. And you did an fantastic job in expressing what makes the series so great.
EXCELLENT video, man! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 "You're pretty good." 😉
I love how widespread the audience is in Metal Gear, you have people who started when the first game came out in 1987 like you, and me, a kid discovering something new.
You couldn’t have picked a better time to release this video. This is exactly what I was looking for after the Nintendo direct. Thanks!
Nintendo showcase, ubisoft showcase, gay station showcase and the capcom showcases were all garbage this year garbage games 97% of them combined pure garbage
You did an incredible job on the video. I've only played Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain. I loved both. I'm really excited for the Master collection now.
Thank you! MGSV plays like a dream and is probably the best playing stealth game I’ve seen. I hope you enjoy the others when you get the chance to play them.
Man your in for a ride. I've played all except the first two metal gears and the PSP games. I recently got a hold of 3 android emulators (EPSXE, AETHERSX2, PPSSPP) to replay them all and finally play MGS:PW. Then I found out about the ps5 master collection. can't wait 🤩
This is an absolutly fantastic video. I am currently playing through MGSV and I am having such a great time. I just hope that Konami finds a way to remake MGS4 for PS5, I love that game. Give me hope thinking the master collect is titled volume 1. Maybe a volume 2 with Peacewalker, Portable Ops and 4. Rising would be cool too :P this is a series that deserves to be re master on every console generation.
They cannot be forgotten.
But personally I do not hold Raiden on the same level as Solid Snake and Big Boss. Those two are so iconic
Thanks so much! I went back to play MGSV a bit for some footage and I forgot how smooth and fun that game is.
I think that's the lineup we could see in Volume 2 or perhaps V swaps in for Portable Ops. Either way, it'd be great to have the series made easily accessible for a new audience!
ah yes metal gear a series i have never played yet know everything about it
Edit nearly every thing I'm kinda getting tired of people taking this too literally
Persona Fandom in a nutshell. 😅
That’s what you think, for now
The remasters are a great opportunity for you then
No you don’t
If you’ve never played it, you know very little. I don’t care what content you’ve absorbed, most of it is off base, inaccurate, obtuse, and finally just the tip of the iceberg.
Ngl I was genuinely thinking a little while ago to look up a video like this cause this series always seemed up my alley, was a Snake main at the start of smash ultimate and I really like stealth in games in general, and then here you go. So thanks!😅
Glad I could be of service! Hope you enjoy the video and end up trying out the series!
And this is why I believe the singularity does exist
One of my favorite series ever made, and fantastic introduction video for newcomers to the series! Incredible work!
Great content and great narration.
This was a vid that kept the point, straight and simple. Thanks for the vid.
Fantastic video, especially the play order part. Well done.
Great video, subbed! Can't wait to play these on the switch
4 days ago? Broh, you’re a lifesaver, I was just looking for something like this!
I am a big metal gear solid fan, and thank you for giving a very small introduction into the series of metal gear; along with it universe from a very spoiler free perspective!! I’m a instant subscriber!!
Thank you so much, picking up master collection today and ready to get into the franchise I was always curious about.
As someone who has already played em all. This makes me want to start over again lol
As a Metal Gear Solid Fan. This Guide was well written out and provides a proper In Depth Guide For Begginers. Good Job
Great video that kept me watching all the way through even though i've been a huge fan of the series for years!
My first mgs game was mgs4 which i picked up in a shady second hand electronics store and as you can imagine i was so confused yet intruiged i just had to get to the bottom of it all and play the rest lol. Definitely the best thing i couldve done, this franchise is so dear to me and im glad there's still new videos like this coming out! Can't wait for mgs delta, i have high hopes i must admit :))
Thanks so much! If you were able to start with MGS4 and it got its claws in you, then you were destined to be a MGS fan haha. MGS3 was the game that showed me how deep and involved video game narratives could be, and is honestly a big reason why I started making content in the first place. I'm also really pumped for Delta, so here's hoping it meets the high bar!
Technically, i started with the msx original in highschool cause i found a website that emulated games, but I actually started with snake eater subsistence when a show called smash bracket(highly recommend, they’re doing an episode on shulk and rex/aegis) hired me to voice snake so I did my research.
Rest to say I loved it and I can't wait for delta
haha bs so u voiced the 2bit snake voice on the sega msx game bs man
Snake doesn't have a voice in the msx games. That's clearly not what I was referring too.
I feel like this video has so much effort put into it that it doesn't deserve only 30k views. I wanted to dive down into series from a long time ago, but the whole order seemed very confusing. You helped me to sort out.
thank you for this video, I'm not sure by what magic the algorithm gave it to me, but i had been subconciously looking for this for a while!
Just want to say even before this video your the reason I got into Metal Gear Solid. It was hard to get into at first but simply just teaching me the slow walk in MGS3 mechanic completely changed how I played the game. Thank you for getting me into this wonderful series. MGS3 is probably just my favorite game at this point.
Exactly what I was looking for
Great video man. I’ve recently been buying up some MGS games and really didn’t know where to start. After watching your video I’m definitely going to start with Snake Eater. 👍
My personal recommendation for order of play is:
1. MGS1
2. MGS2
3. MGS3
The reason being that MGS1 has a great starting point where you don't need to know anything of the past in the story or gameplay.
Starting with MGS3 may be a great way to make someone an MGS fan, but I think MGS1 also does that....and more.
You see, it's easier to start in order of gameplay/game-creation than story, especially for the MGS franchise because of the gradual improvement to its gameplay from MGS1 to MGS2 to MGS3. A new person may have some struggle to adapt to with removed control elements if playing in any other order.
There's also the important argument of past game references, nods, and easter eggs, which feel sooooo good when you get it. For example (spoilers) Raiden's mask and the conversations on it in MGS3, or Ivan from MGS3 and the comments by The Boss. Or, TIME PARADOX in MGS3. (end spoilers) What do they mean?? Of course, it feels so amazing in your chest when you pick up on these references after playing the previous entries in the franchise. These things were designed this way by Kojima-san and I think it's the only true way to fully enjoy the series, and any other way means you're missing out on the great feeling of experiencing those Kojima-esque secrets, commentaries, references, &c.
Just my personal thoughts, coming from another MGS fanatic.
Great video. I agree with a lot of things and it's so exciting to see my most favourite game with my most favourite Snake being remade in Delta and with the same voice acting performances. (I probably would have ignored the game if there were new voice acting. These people's voices are a part of my memory and life while I was Naked Snake and to hear anything else would mean I'm in a different universe.)
Btw, I think the MGS2 and MGS3 in the Master Collection will have to have different controls or else it will be basically unplayable on the PS5 with the original controls. That's because the PS2 and PS3 controllers' face buttons were pressure-sensitive. That hardware feature was removed in the DualShock 4 and the DualSense.
PS2/PS3 Controls:
Press lightly on square to aim.
Release square to not aim.
Press lightly to aim and then press harder to shoot.
Controls impossible on PS4 and PS5.
Damn MGS is the Star Wars of gaming
Great video mate !
Played the original MG1 and Snake's Revenge on NES in the 80s and Metal Gear Solid on PS1 in 98. Have the other games but never really have time to play them yet. So this is a good video for someone like me to pick the series up again.
Intresting fact. Metal Gear lifted so much from Escape From New York that John Carpenter was going to sue Kojima. But after meeting the MGS representatives he decided not to because they were such nice people.
I remember reading an article about that and it's just so crazy to think about.
Actually John Carpenters said to be a hardcore gaming fan.. Imagine a collaboration between JC & Kojima with Kurt Russell himself playing Solid Snake👍
Definitely the best series ever I started on 2 got super confused and then got my hands on most of them and understood the story alot more you should do another video on kingdom hearts or resident evil series
I've only played 1-3 but man they are incredible games. Id love for you to cover this series more in the future
Aye, nice! Hopefully if the Master Collection adds MGS4, you'll have the chance to finish the main 4 solid titles. The other Metal Gear video I've been sitting on for awhile is an analysis on the ending to MGS3 since it's my favorite moment in any piece of media, so I'd like to cover that at some point.
oh man u have to play 4
@@TheCityLightz I really want to I intentionally haven't played 5 because I'm waiting to play 4 first. Really hoping it comes back
@@KayJulers I'd love to see it happen thanks again 💚
@@damndanielcruz6754 Wish I could let you borrow my ps3 lol. There will be so many great moments you'll experience in 4 especially knowing you've played 1-3.
Thanks for making this video. From one MGS super fan to another: You’re pretty good.
"Pretty good..."
Thank you as well!
I really hope that this video get some more people into this insane saga.
I actually started out with Twin Snakes since I never own a Playstation until this year but still had access to a Wii/Gamecube and getting it at a used game store for $60 was the best decision I ever did. And I actually beat 3 for the first time on the 3DS and I actually prefer that version due to the crouch walk and don’t mind the framerate in some places since it can work in your favor in certain parts. Plus, having the HD collection and both V games on 360 and also Rising was another great decision since I still had a 360 at the time. Very excited for Delta (but nervous as well since it’s my favorite game of all time) and also see what surprises the Master Collection will have going forward after the recent announcement
Twin snakes gets too much hate. It was the first one I owned too being a Nintendo guy. Played the original at friends houses though
I've been watching a playthrough of mgs 1 since i got a ps2 with 2 and 3. Actually really excited to get into it because what i played of 2 was awesome, but it'll have to wait since I'm going through ff6 and 16 right now
Thankyou so much for the video!! I definitely will be playing metal gear now, I was hoping you do the end part where you said how to play them, I’m just deciding whether to wait for Vol 1 or get the hd collection as I really want to play them now! What would other people say? 😊 any advice would be grateful
There’s a few questions I’ve got to ask but I’m hoping that the game will tell me them🤣
thanks for the video i hope in the remake that they could add the camera like mgs3 into mgs1 and2!
You could also get the GOG copy of Metal Gear, which is a port of the MGS3 version instead of the DOS version. I would also recommend Twin Snakes only for someone who is already familiar with the original, as the over-the-top action is inconsistent with the rest of the series, which never goes that far.
This series has been following me throughout my youth (MGS 1-5), and no other game(s) has been able to blow my mind again, and again like these masterpieces.
I am so thrilled about a MSG3 remake, as it was/is one of my ALLTIME favorite games. Only competing with stuff like Final Fantasy VII, IX and X. (besides the other games in the MGS series, ofc)
Truly hope some people who never experienced these games with be inspired and motivated to give them a try.
the only thing i can thank this garbage series for is how some of these kojima theorys ended up coming true many yrs later the rest of the series is garbage except mg revengence the rest can die along with shert engine used to make this garbage series
Metal gear solid will always be my favourite, it's to much Nostalgia for me as it was the very first video game I bought at the age of 16 with my first wage. What a memory! My favourite playstation game ever, and yes I do also love twin snakes and I'm not ashamed of it lol
Let's Go!
Stealth gameplay was actually innovated by Castle Wolfenstein in the early 80s. Also highly recommend starting with the 8 bit msx games. They are simple enough you can beat them in a few days and they give you a better appreciation for MGS1 when you play it.
If you have a new 3DS model that is modded for custom firmware then you can increase the framerate on the 3DS version of snake eater to make it better. That's the way I decided to play it
I began with Ground Zeroes and I found the game dramatic and tragic and piqued my interest so much. Hideo Kojima is a legend
Commenting for the algorithm. I enjoyed the video.
You are a true patriot, and thanks for watching!
recently got a ps3 for $20 bucks and was thinking of finally starting the metal gear series
Besides the given negatives of the redone cutscenes and dialogue, I have heard of two other negatives about Twin Snakes people gloss over. 1. Is that the controls of MGS2 backported to 1 mess with the balance of the game (for example, Ocelots fight becomes stupid easy in first person). The second is the one I find most aggregious of all, is that the entire soundtrack was remade w/o reference to the original. So tracks like the classic alert theme have been removed.
Feel free to correct me if that's misinfo. I haven't been able to play the game myself since it's locked to the GCN. I think it's still worth playing from what I've seen, but only once one has checked the original first.
A beloved yet terribly underrated franchise. How can I make friends if I cant talk about Metal Gear without sounding like a total nerd
The best friends that one can have are those willing to talk about the feats and limits of nanomachines for hours.
simple dont speak about its best staying dead forever
I needed this since i didn't know 50% of the time what was going on 😭
I never really got the hate. I can get the voice acting for twin snakes but like the action sequences they're just cool to me. I never got the oh it's over the top like the mechanics's game was borrowed from didn't have a man walk on water and woman who stopped and veered ballistics off their course without technology, not to mention the several other things that series that are just way more unbelievable. Like the games are full of unbelievable moments.
Probably gonna wait for delta, play that and then the master collection
Im so glad i got a copy of the twin snakes from years ago, make me wanna dust off the cube
So, I said this on a different video- and I think it deserves to be said here- since you mentioned Metal Gear Solid (PSX) and Twin Snakes (GameCube) as possible jumping in points as a way to start the series.
I would also like to submit Ghost Babel (Gameboy Advance) with one HUGE caveat…
None of them are truly the Canonical (historically accurate) records of what really happened during that period in Solid Snakes timeline.
Think of who is the narrator.
One of them may be narrated by Snake, or Maybe Occelot.
One of them is being told from Otacon’s (heavily anime inspired action setpiece) ideas of what Snake did to take down the Hind and what the Ninja fight on SOUNDED like from his piss soaked spot in the locker.
And the other is the Ai generated and heavily doctored and recontextualized version of Shadow Moses that Raiden played through, with all references to Liquid Snake, Les Enfants Terribles, Occelot, Meryl, Otacon, AND OF COURSE FOX DIE… all conveniently left out in order to “brief” Raiden of what they need him to believe really happened in Shadow Moses as an “alternative history”
Why would the “Colonel” who Raiden talks to want anything that happened there to be known to Raiden? Even when Nastasha Romanenko published her book about the truth of what happened there- Colonel denies it, and calls it Trash.
But we’re lead to the understanding that Raiden already played through Snakes missions as a part of VR Training regimen. If he had, he’d know that the colonel secretly used Snake as a vector to spread FoxDie under direct orders from the pentagon, and that Snake and Liquid were genetic pawns of some grander conspiracy to create super soldiers… and that Occelot, now working for Solidus was a spy for the President George Sears who he would already know was his father if it was all left wide open.
So to summarize, Ghost Babel is the events of Shadow Moses edited to be a more palatable half truth so that Raiden could be trained on the events, but not the truth, of the Shadow Moses incident.
Twin Snakes is the love letter of Otacon to his Anime obsessions as retold to Sunny on board the Nomad as what he *thinks* Snake did during Shadow Moses, pieced together from what he saw, what snake told him and what his web mind imagined.
And Metal Gear Solid vanilla is either the memories of Shadow Moses from Occelot or Snakes POV but perhaps the closest thing to the objective truth.
I’ve only played Metal Gear Solid 1 (last year) but I absolutely loved it
Yo, that's dope! You're in for a ride, especially with MGS2 and 3.
@@KayJulers sadly I’ve been pretty badly spoiled on the series and have been for a while as I was really interested in the story but for some reason did not play them sooner
The way you describe the mix of crazy and serious/emotional in the story reminds me a lot of Yakuza. Is it really?
While I haven’t played Yakuza yet, I’ve seen a bunch of goofy stuff from the side content and have always thought, “I feel like I’d love this series with all wacky stuff you can do that the characters take so seriously like Metal Gear.” Portable Op’s gameplay is pretty rough if you started with that, so I feel another game might click with you more.
This video is just what I was looking for, because this games series are way too confusing, and that's why I never got into it, but the action this game series have is what I want to experience, I wanted something new. After trying out Death Stranding for a while, I really wanted to try out other Hideo Kojima products, because that game mesmerised me, it's so good.
Metal Gear 1 and 2 are also available on GoG. They're a bit janky (just like the PC versions of solid 1 and 2 also on GoG) but you can get them running with a bit of effort.
I'd also highly recommend playing Mesal Gear Solid, included in Ape Escape 3, after MGS3. It's INTEGRAL to the cannon :P
My experience with Ape Escape is limited to watching my friend play Ape Escape 3 at his house as kids, so I have never heard of Mesal Gear Solid before and I am going to do some research tonight LOL
@@KayJulers Oh you are in for a treat
MG2 and MGS2 aren't on GoG (any more), never saw MG2 on there personally, but MGS2 was sadly removed when they pulled it from consoles and all that a while back. If you have it already it's still possible to download, but people can't buy it any more.
My headcannon is that TwinSnakes is a re-telling for MGS events by Otacon... since he sees Snake as a superhero, his actions in the game wouldnt be too out of character :)
After this video imma get the 3 remake
I've only ever played Phantom Pain, and it absolutely confused the hell outta me, but I'll be damned if it's not one of the best games I've ever played. Something about it is just so unique.
I also started with Metal Gear Solid 3D! It’s still my favourite version of Snake Eater. Not the best version, but definitely my favourite. From there I started playing the other Metal gear games in chronological order (story wise). I was lucky that MGSV released just after I finished Peace Walker ^^
those games are garbage played those n garbage i have those on xbox
As soon as you said 3 starting points I was like "yup I know where this is going" and I easnt disappointed
Can't believe i wanna get into this mass because of a song 😭
there are three franchises i’ve always wanted to play Resident Evil, Metal Gear, and Legend Of Zelda, and I guess Metal Gear is going to be my first
MGSV is honestly Hideo Kojima's best work gameplay wise. The story is bad, but the gameplay is just fucking amazing. The Open World areas give lots of options for stealth previously not possible. The game also allows for completely loud action if you don't want to stealth, which is really fucking fun if you capture a tank, even if they're comically underpowered. The FOB missions provide more classic Metal Gear gameplay with the addition of the amazing gadgets of V.
Also venom snake haters dni he is literally the best snake idc
YEAH IM STARTIN WITH METAL GEAR SOLID 1
Play the game’s in release order if played in chronological order it will spoil some key plot twist in the other games
Why did you put the peacewalker before mgs4 in the solid order and then say that the peacewalker will spoil mgs4 in the chronological order? I'm trying to find the most optimal play order from a story perspective since I've never played a metal gear game before
I remember going to a blockbuster and renting a system. Too bad I didn’t get metal gear.
18:50 Holy shit, Twin Snakes is $150 USD? I bought a copy of it back in 2016 for like $30 bucks off Amazon. How tf did the price go up so quickly?
I'm so excited that mgs 4 is gonna finally be on Xbox
Source?
Beginner isn't for me as I'd say I'm a MGS expert but my friend keeps saying hese never played MGS but wants to start so gonna send this to him
The Metal Gear series is the best games I've ever watched.
Bro I can’t wait to play mgs1 on ps5😂
Based asf twin snakes opinion
It was my first metal gear and I was lucky enough to find it at a yard sale for $10 back when I was a little kid. I just bought it because Snake was in Smash Bros. Brawl, I had no idea it would go on to be a highly sought after collector's item.
I gave one of the PSP games a try and couldn't make it past the first two rooms of the first level, I shit you not. It was years ago and I've never given the series a try ever since.
Aight 2024 I'm starting my MGS and Yakuza journey.
Haha same!
kept you waiting huh?
6:25 His suppressor, bruh
I'd like to argue revengeance is also a good starting point as it has almost nothing to do with the other games
Start the lowdown naming Revolver as the whole point of Metal Gear.
Remember the mgs hd collection well now konamis stopped the purchase of HD collection as it originally was and slapped it into mgs collection vol1 wtf i already own hd collection on xbox since years ago and now im stuck with a dalema that dilema is do i have to repurchase mgs hd again because of the mgs. Collection vol1 im not happy konami is going recharge everyone for hd edition whom already own it like me i had hd edition since early last year and i aint keen to purchase twice on something i brought ages ago so my question is will the mgs collection vol1 be split up as seperate purchases eventually i farkn hope so because i already got 99% of this collection except mgs1 thats all i need than all i need in vol2 is mgs4 then i have the complete mgs series
so is there no way of getting into the series on ps5?? im searching and only 5 is available
Part 1 of the Master Collection with 1, 2, and 3 should be coming to PS5 later this year, so you can pick that up!
18:10 so an elite group or soldiers with special powers that explode upon death isn't crazy but solid snake backflipping to dodge a bullet is too far? 😭
I started on Revenegces for the memes and than bought the OG 3 games on my series X and stared with 3 than played 1 than 2
My suggestion: start with MGS 1.
You knowledge on the subject is quite abundant? Were you sent by the la-li-lu-le-lo?
I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61!
Yeah I heard for years that the MGS stories were mad convoluted, but I understood the 6 games I played much better than I did Xenogears 🤷
I'm 100% with you. Xenogears is definitely more convoluted with all the names and concepts. Still love Xenogears' story, though!
Danm starting to think hd collection wont be on ps4 😢
No hate but my first Metal Gear was NES on 64 in 1 NES Multicart on GBA using Nintendo DS Lite gift by my uncles and aunt back in 2012 cant save even if there was option because the board inside doens't come with battery, I never finished due to my DS Lite have only 2 hours but know many parts of game such as grenade launcher. 3DS beaten by me later back in 2021, owning 2nd hand disc of MGS4 never finished my Console died itself.
I honestly wouldn't recommend Metal Gear as the first title due to how dependent the player may be on a walkthrough. Without that the game can become frustrating. I usually recommend playing MG and MG2 last and only if you love the series or are just plain curious.
For me I'd either recommend MGS or MGS3 depending if people want to play in chronical order or release order.
I think that's fair! Although I find it to be the hardest to sell of the three due to its relative simplicity and old school, cryptic nature, I still like including it in the recommendations since some people might want to start at the beginning and I feel it's best played before MGS4 and MGSV as both of their conclusions are strengthened by seeing the events of the MSX games, especially the pre-final boss dialogue in MG2 that I love.
U could always emulate…
Funny how you didn't mention MG survive like at all 🤣🤣🤣
Nothing contested about revengence not being cannon kojima said since day one it’s not canon great game tho
Very nice video. If I had to summarize MG in one s sentence I would simply say "It's not meaningless. " It is not just a game to play to spend your free time, you are supposed to learn about the world, about history, and art and science and the things that make the world the way it is. All the suoernatural elements in the series exist mostly for coolness reasons.
People always think the series is filled with pretentious blah blah, but I think this is just a sign of general cultural decay. People nowadays lack objective standards on what is good and bad art and don't realize what a huge amount of skill is required to come up with something like Metal Gear.
Hope kojima makes another game like it or just continue and finish the phantom pain and be friends with Konami again, you can't find another game that has the same feel of gameplay like MGS.
I've played the latest Ghost recon but it just left me empty, the gameplay feels so hollow when compared to Phantom Pain.
Also the only game that somehow felt reminiscent of metal gear is the early Splinter cell games.
hurry up konami , we want to play the pc version of metal gear 4 this year and we are tired of waiting , move it
Your timeline is completely wrong 24:41
You start with:
MGS3
MGS PORTIBLE OPS
MGS PEACE WALKER
MGS5
MG
MG2 SOLID SNAKE
MGS
MGS2
MGS4
MGR
Tho to be actually correct, none of the games that dont star David (Solid Snake), shouldn't actually have SOLID in the title; as the term SOLID refers to David's code name, SOLID Snake.
Kojima stated this in the name of Metal Gear 2, he wanted to call it Konami wanted to keep the title as Metal Gear.
But Kojima wanted it to mention Solid Snake, "Metal Gear Solid" as a title, but Konami have no clue about their own IP.
So they settled on calling it Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake.
Then came the PSX version and agreed the title was too long thus Kojima got to name it how he wanted Metal Gear Solid.
So, MGS3, MGS PO, MGS PW and MGS5 should be MG3, MG PO, MG PW to keep with continuity.
Again for the fans, the only reason MG received the SOLID title is because it was based on SOLID SNAKES missions.
The timestamp you marked is the order of release, not the chronological order or timeline I show afterwards.
Also, Kojima stated in the official handbook for MGS that the "Solid" in the title comes from not just from the protagonist, but the switch to polygons with the 3rd dimension. That's partially why Ghost Babel as another 2d entry is just "Metal Gear: Ghost Babel" in Japan.
It's also Metal Gear SOLID because it was 3D, made of solid polygons
There are too many call backs, eater eggs to previous games in MGS3.
Best to start with MGS1
Ok so I went off the path and started with MGS4
