Not all of Metal Gear Solid acts as a sequel to Metal Gear. MGS3 and Peace Walker are prequels. Metal Gear Solid expands upon Metal Gear, it's the same series and the plots directly overlap.

I think "Solid" was added because of the drastic change in gameplay from 2D to 3D.

"Revengence" was added to emphasis a very style of gameplay and game. You can't look at MGR as a MGS game, that's what I'm saying, how can you argue that?

I don't care what you call it, a canon or a sidestory, it's not a main series MGS game. Do you consider Metal Gear Ac!d a main series Metal Gear game? No, and this isn't either. I know it affects the plot more then say Resident Evil CV, but it's still not a steath game like MGS is known for. This is Halo Wars to Halo, the plot is still relevant, but it's not a main series entry.

It doesn't matter if you played MGS2 or 4, you'll pick up the plot in rising just fine. It's all about slashing.


 You can't look at MGR as a MGS game...that's right! BECAUSE IT'S A DIFFERENT SAGA WITH DIFFERENT GAMEPLAY BUILT UPON METAL GEAR SOLID SAGA.

"The plot is still relevant", because it continues the Metal Gear saga's story...

"It doesn't matter if you played MGS2 or 4". Have you played the game? Because I don't know how are you supossed to know what SOP or the Sears Program is without having played MGS2 or MGS4. Again, the Metal Gear Rising story is built upon Metal Gear Solid's. You don't seem to understand this. Metal Gear Rising is not all about slashing. There's stealing too. In fact, you can even do a non-lethal playtrough (The Final Boss speech changes if you do so, even!). There are references to Snake. To Otacon. To Sunny. To The Patriots. You should play the game first, before saying things you don't know.
