MGS:V

[Guest]

I finally managed to stay awake through the super long intro sequence & I’ve made it to Afghanistan or something. *spoilers, you go to Afghanistan after the tutorial mission in this 4~ year old mainstream game*

 

so like who was that flaming guy? 

And why was there a child flying with a gas mask?

is the child psycho mantis or something? I haven’t played the old MGS games. I prolly should though. The demo for 4 was fun on PS3. 

 

I had no idea what was going on at all. Also I don’t understand why it’s the 80s and there’s all this high tech equipment.

You have to play MGS1, MGS3, MGS Peace Walker, and preferably the original Metal Gear to fully appreciate MSG:V Otherwise you'll be scratching your head at everything.

 

The game is meant to tie up the series from the Big Boss timeline to the Solid Snake one.

Because Kojima likes to do that.

This will help.  please note however, that MGSV takes place somewhere in the middle, so scroll past that to avoid spoilers (there is also a button at the bottom-right to hide it)

the last game is not last chronologically.

 

correct order:

 

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

Metal Gear Portable Ops

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Metal Gear

Metal Gear 2

Metal Gear Solid

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

I found the plot of a given MGS game straight forward after playing it, including watching all of the cutscenes and listening to the codec calls. There might be some lingering questions to answer, but they're not really that important to the plot for that game.

 

The problem is later games build up on previous ones. Including said points that weren't important for that game. i.e., that whole thing with Liquid's arm on Ocelot was a minor point in MGS2 but a major one in MGS4.
