What order do I play them in?
>>322228443
Chronological from Solid.
MG1 and 2 are optional if you really want to.
1 is alright
2 is great
Solid is a good place to start
Solid 3 is an alright place to start, but a lot will go over your head.
>>322228443
MGS3>PW>MGS4>MG1>MG2>MGS1>MGS2>MGS4
>>322228443
4, 1, PW, 3, 2
S1-S2-S3 to see it at its finest
4-PW-V to watch it burn
1 2 3 4 PW V
Why on earth would you play it any other way
>>322228702
Sounds familiar....
Why do people make these threads, man? Is it an emerging new meme?
>>322228443
Don't bother it's not worth it. Nothing is canon
Just play Solid 1-3
Theyre all fun games with their stories and twists and bizarre characters.
After 4 it just jumps the gun.
Not OP, but I'm also playing the series. Is it important to also play ground zeroes? And what about Metal Gear Rising?
4 - 2 - PW - 1 - V - 3 - PO
>>322229025
Ground Zeroes isn't canon, you can pass it without fear
PO - MG2 - MGS4 - PW - MGS2 - MGSV - MGS1 - GZ - MG1
>>322229183
MGR is the one that's not canon family
>>322229025
Play GZ between PW and TPP. Rising is a spinoff that takes place after 4, there are debates about if it's canon or not but it's a fun game so give it a shot.

THE END.
Wanna play V?

Optimal as fuck, anything else is plebeian-tier.

Stop your ruse

Alright. Do I need to play Portable Ops? Because I don't have a PSP and my toaster barely runs FF4 in PPSSPP for some reason.
>>322228443
Never play anything in the order they first came out in,that's dumb. Play V, 4, mg1, pw, mg2 3, 2, and finally portable ops. 1 is overrated anyway.
>>322229732
>>322229601
Get a psp
>>322229806
He asked an I answered. Why would anyone play the order the games came out? That's silly, they were obviously meant to be played out of order.
Release order idiots, that's the way it was intended, going chronologically makes the shit even more convoluted
>>322228443
Play 1, the rest is irrelevant garbage.
>>322228443
release order
playing them in chronological order is for autists, you'll preemptively spoil yourself to otherwise meaningful twists
>>322229995
Because the game that released after another is probably gonna reference back to the one released first
>Don't play MGS1
You literally need to play MGS1 to fully understand 2 you chode

I started at MGS2 and I went from there
1/TTS(superior remake) > 2 > 4 this is the solid snake arc ( think story arcs in sword art online)
3 > PO > PW > V this is the big boss arc hes a dad of solid snake

mg 1 + 2 this is the retro video game versions of it that tells the story of solid snake and big boss its its own arc.
mgr this is the raiden from mgs2 and mgs4 end of his story arc

RELEASE ORDER
>>322228443
Release order.
MGS 1,2,3,4, PW.
#1 has summaries of the MG1&2 in the main menu. Wstch the Briefing and try some VR training too, before jumping to the campaign.

> TTS
> superior remake
You can play it buts its not essential. Whats really important is Ghost Babel, and portable ops.
>>322230758
Yeah, and especially Metal Gear Acid 1&2
>>322230536
>TTS
>Superior remake
Also you shouldn't play 4 without playing 3, so it still ends up being release order
1-4 are the only ones you need to play if you want the story
