I couldn't get through peace walker, it's just shit
Funny how Ghost Babel is E-rated when it has some of the most M-rated characters in the entire series.
see: Marionette Owl
I skipped the non solid ones because I wasnt even born then. I skipped MGS1 because I was a pcfag playing half life mods back then. Skipped MGS2 because it was gay. MGS3 was my first and it was enjoyable, so was MGS4. The PSP games were shit though, I tried but it was like monster hunter meets MGS, shit tier. MGR was fun and MGS5 was okay.

Peace walker, and portable ops are shit
So is TPP
>>333380094
>MGR was fun
opinion discarded
If they had fun and/or it got them into a series they ended up liking, who cares?
I trust you're a kid, though. Because I HIGHLY doubt you bothered to pirate MG1 and MG2 before playing MGS1 back when it was released. You probably played it on Subsistence.

Metal Gear 1 and 2 for Nintendo or MSX? Snake's Revenge = 2 or Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake = 2?
>>333379856
How does it feel to be a manchild enjoying such an awful videogame series of a convoluted Bond-like plot, literal gimmicks instead of good gameplay elements, poor controls, and awkward voice acting...?
So people need to play every game now?
>>333379856
>there are people who played Metal Gear Solid without first playing Metal Gear 1 and 2
That's pretty much everyone in the west without access to emulators back in 1998.
>>333380270
Nobody counts the NES versions. Hence why they called the third game "Metal Gear Solid" worldwide and not "Metal Gear 3."
>>333379856
>implying portable ops is canon
>>333379856
>there are people who played Metal Gear Solid without first playing Metal Gear 1 and 2
Metal Gear 1 and 2 weren't available when I played MGS. You also get everything you need out of them story-wise in MGS.
>there are people who played The Phantom Pain without playing Peace Walker and portable ops
I played those (and Crisis Core) on deployment, because I didn't have anything else to do. I also read the entire Dark Tower series.
>there are people who haven't played Ghost Babel because its "non-canon"
Yeah, pretty much, and I don't regret it.
>there are people who played Metal Gear Rising without knowing about any of the other Metal Gear games
Nope

Ghost Babel andMetal Gear AC!Dare better than most games.
>>333379856
>there are people who played Metal Gear Solid without first playing Metal Gear 1 and 2
Yeah, a lot of fucking people did.
If you are one of the few who played MG1 and Snek's Revenge before Solid, then good on you, but understand that parading that around now and acting superior to those who didn't is the equivalent of saying you liked the Mirage Comics Ninja Turtles before the animated series.
And for the record, MG1 (all versions) was a pretty crappy game while MG2 (MSX) was and continues to be a worthwhile experience to this day.
Everyone just needs to admit it: Kojima is a charisma-less cuck, and needs to go back to doing what he does best. And that's channeling his inner Westerboo, know that his place is behind the scenes staying the fuck out of the spotlight, then apologize TO EVERYONE for making a fucking cop-out excuse to get Queefer Southernmen and his generic effeminate voice to spoil the iconic sound that is David 'The Snake' Hayter.
>there are people who played Metal Gear Solid without first playing Metal Gear 1 and 2
The gameplay of those games was shit and if you try to say you beat them without looking up what to do online you're probably a liar. Not to mention the fact that almost nobody in the West had access to a fucking msx to play mg1 and 2 when they originally came out.
>there are people who played The Phantom Pain without playing Peace Walker and portable ops
POOPS is non canon trash nobody cares about.
>there are people who haven't played Ghost Babel because its "non-canon"
Once again gameplay is shit
>there are people who played Metal Gear Rising without knowing about any of the other Metal Gear games
I think that's a really small percentage of people. Anyone I've ever known to play MGR had already played at least one MGS before
>>333380883
Metal Gear 1's story, summarized: You're Young Snake, you're told to kill Big Boss and destroy outer heaven, you do some shit, get to the end, realize that your commander is actually Big Boss, you kill him, the end.
Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake is actually the better game that most people miss out on.
>mfw my first MGS was 4
>mfw I cried at the end even without knowing what the fuck was going on
>>333379856
>implying the majority of US citizens who got MGS in 1998 have ever played MG1 and MG2
You're just a millennial prick who thinks he's smart cause he can use Wikipedia tbqh
>>333379856
Boo hoo
>>333379856
I know you were born in 2003 so you have no idea, but in 1998 nobody in the US had a fucking MSX 2, so the only exposure anyone would even have the chance of having to Metal Gear was the shitty NES port and the non-canon Metal Gear 2: Snake's Revenge.

>>333379856
Exactly why snake eater will always be the best game in the series because has fuck all tying down its plot.
The cast of MGR was so fucking awful I wish that game never existed. Solid has Otacon, Mei Ling, Meryl, and Colonel. Big Boss has Ocelot, Miller, and Hal. Raiden has literally who and literally who helping him out

>>333379856
Ghost Babel is like one of the few GBC games on my backlog, wanna do Oracle of Ages/Seasons and Shantae too.
>>333379856
No need to play Metal Gear 1 and 2 before playing MGS. There is a reason it's called MGS1, it's the start of that series
>>333380328
Feels pretty good.
Wasnt Kojima that said the MG1 and MG2 were a mistake and he wished they never existed?
>>333379856
>Each and every one of those are me
>>333379856
so?
did it harm your play through?
>there are people that liked the AC!D games
>>333380587
incorrect
why did big boss try to make outer haven without miller?
I bought Ghost Babel used online a few years ago and never figured out how to reset its saved data... It's all unlocked and I'd like to unlock it all myself. But never found a solution.
Definitive way to play through the series.
>play mgs1 on gamecube
>play msg2 on xbox
