The Metal Gear Saga is Complete, But Where Do I Start?

So you want to get into Hideo Kojima’s magnum opus of storytelling before being dragged into his newest trip featuring Norman Reedus and a fetus? There’s no other story-driven video game out there like the Metal Gear series and what better way to prepare for Death Stranding then by playing the games that skyrocketed Kojima to fame.

However, though he might be a master of storytelling in video games, understanding Kojima’s complete vision can be overwhelming.

Play the in the order they were released...?

Gridknac2456d ago

Skip the whole thing entirely. There are better things to waste your life on.

I hope that you don't drive or reproduce because that's a scary thought. Telling other people they can't enjoy something because you don't find it enjoyable is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

Gridknac2455d ago

Foxhound922, telling other people they can't have an opinion just because it doesn't align with yours is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard! At least we don't have to worry about you reproducing, you'll never get a woman down in your moms basement. (Well not legally anyways)

It's not meant to be played chronologically. If you start with 3 you'll miss a lot of references.

Stanjara2456d ago

You can say the same thing about the reference if you start with 1st.

NapalmSanctuary2455d ago (Edited 2455d ago )

You left out Metal Gear 1&2. The proper chronology is MGS3, MGS5, MG1, MG2, MGS, MGS2, MGS4.

Lilrizky2456d ago

Yeah play the order they were released.

Some people suggest chronologically, but the way certain reveals happen in certain games the narrative was purposely written in a way that it makes most sense to play them in release order. There are certain callbacks or references in MGSV to the first metal gear solid for example. So if you played them in chronological order you will have no idea what those references in V are referring to

MTVBG2456d ago

Order of release, no question.

CorndogBurglar2456d ago

Start with Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 from NES. Then play the Metal Solid series in the order they released.

Tross2455d ago

You can actually access the proper versions of Metal Gear 1 and 2 if you have MGS3 in some form on your device, and those are the canon games. I would recommend playing those first, yes, although MGS1 isn’t a bad jumping on point either. However, the NES games are an interesting curiosity, for sure.

Without Kojima and Murita handling the writing what's the point?

343_Guilty_Spark2468d ago (Edited 2468d ago )

Maybe it wouldn't be a convoluted mess

pietro12122468d ago

Ahhhhhh it's the guy Kojima hurt. *show me on the doll where he touched you

What, Metal Gear: Survive not doing it for you?
