villarule123 Posted January 26, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 26, 2014 So, I've never played MGS properly before, only brief parts on a friends console when I was younger. What's the best order to play them in? I gather that they're confusing and some are prequels etc. Are they long to complete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Play them in the order they were released in. You will not have a clue what is going on if you jump into titles out of order. Also, don't ask about them on the internet because some dick is guaranteed to spoil things for you even if they believe they are being helpful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismail-villa Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Yeah start from the beginning I say. I stated with MGS Snake Eater and got confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Just prepare yourself for A LOT of cut scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) I recently bought the Legacy Collection - a PS3 exclusive which contains Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2 Hd, Metal Gear Solid 3 Hd, Peace Walker HD, Metal Gear Solid 4 Trophy Edition, plus a couple of animated graphic novel...things, or whatever they call them. It's about £50 on most sites, but I nabbed it off The Hut for £32 just after Christmas, what a bargain! As for what order to play them in, yeah probably in release date order, but chronological order is nice too, although you'd probably benefit more from that having already played through them once. ...having said that, you'll get confused no matter what order you play them in, more than likely They're massively massively influenced by American movies/fiction, but are jazzed up in that crazy OTT way the Japanese do so well. As for length, they're not the most massive of games, but do have generous enough replayability. They do have big **** off cut scenes, though, which seemed to get longer as the series went on...not everyone's cup of tea, that part, but the game play of all the games is something I can go back to and enjoy over and over again. Looking forward to the Phantom Pain! Edited January 26, 2014 by hogso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginko Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Yeah, start from the beginning. If you get stuck on Psycho Mantis, we're here for you 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanpabloangel18 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I definitely count playing through MGS1 as a formative moment in my adolescent life. Brothhheeeeerrrrrr! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmeerkat Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Start with mgs & mgs 2 and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Probably worth mentioning that Metal Gear Solid is either the third or fourth game in the series depending on whether you count Snakes Revenge or not. Kojima doesn't. There are references to Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 in MGS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 You'll either love MGS2 or hate it. I loved it but it's pretty far out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 It was amazing the first time, but it's the only one I haven't felt compelled to redo. Vampires!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Nobody said it was not going to be weird! I'll not spoil it here because the OP hasn't played and it interested but the reason that a lot of people didn't like it (and you do know what I'm referring to, Plissken) was a bullshit reason. I thought it was brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
