How the hell are you supposed to get into Metal Gear Solid as someone that has never played the series before?
There's like 3953 games and remakes

How the fuck are you supposed to know what to play and not play
>>
You play the original versions of MGS1, 2, 3, then turn 360 degrees and walk away.
>>
Generally, you start with the first game, and play them in order. I hope this helps.
>>
you just play 1-4, what's so difficult? no one likes twin snakes, the 3 remake is basically the same. 1-4 starts simple and gets more game mechanics as it goes on. you can do it. just play the originals or hd versions

but do I play the remake of the first game or not?
>>
>>747544961
How long will it take to play through MGS1 to MGS3953?
>>
>reddit frog
go back

Twin Snakes fucking sucks, its one of the more egregious example of a shit remake for retard tourists but before the remake fatigue era
>>

There's only five mainline MGS games and the last two are train wrecks. The story in the last one isn't even comprehensible, you can play it completely by itself. The first game is a complete story by itself, and the second and third pair with it to form a complete trilogy. You can play the fourth if you have brain damage, I guess.
I always play the original of anything, no remakes.
>>
Only play the original Metal Gear Solid. after that Kojima started putting naked homo stuff in every game. it was distracting
>>
>>747544995
Yes

Start with some light history/lore reading.

Read up on the battle between Whisper Horse and Nano Cricket. When Sloppy3rdz attacks MEGABASE to kill Large n' Charge. Well, technically Large n' Charge wasn't him. It was a cybernetic clone he used to replace him. The real guy that died was RadParakeet.
>>
>>747544867
Didn't Kojima once say to play them in chronological order?
So that's:
3 > PW (optional) > 5 > 1 > 2 > 4

I think that's retarded BUT 3 and 5 are good and not as old and crunchy if you're a zoomie. I have no desire to ever replay 1.
>>
>>747544867
Pay attention Frog Man. You have to play Metal gear in this order exactly. Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, Metal Gear Solid 4, Metal Gear Solid 5. Try not to fuck it up.

Ok so what's the problem with Twin Snakes?
Isn't it just the first game with better graphics and controls?
>>
>>747544867
Start with Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2. Either finish them, or be a bitch baby and drop the games, and then move on to:
>MGS 1
>MGS 2
>MGS 3
>Acid
>Acid 2
>Portable Ops
>MGS 4
>Peace Walker
>MGS 3 (3DS)
>Rising: Revengeance
>MGS V GZ
>MGS V TPP
>MGS 3 (Delta - remake)

it's really hammy even by mgs standards. he backflips off a nikita missle iirc
which seems fine to me desu its hard to take mgs super seriously anyway. i havent played it
>>
>>747545448
They reworked the whole game and changed a lot. There's not really anything wrong with it but it's not the same game and the tone is very different.

Thanks for the help guys
I guess I'll just watch a video essay on the entire series and just play it like that
>>
start with twin snakes
>>
>>747544867
>1, 2, 3, 4, 5??? GRAHHHH THIS IS TOO COMPLICATED!!!
>>
>>747544867
the mainline PlayStation games in order, Mgs1, 2 , 3 , 4 , 5. Not that complicated.
>>
>>747545448
Gameplay wise, it’s MGS1 built in MGS2’s engine. That means same exact level design and enemy placements but with the addition of first person aiming. It breaks the game completely and makes an already easy game brain dead simple.

Narratively, it’s takes a campy and memorable experience and injects so much unnecessary junk it becomes mega cringeworthy. Like if you started the series with twin snakes thinking it’s authentic to the OG I doubt you’d want to continue the series. It’s really bad
