| Xxain said: The problem with chronological order time wise is how information is revealed throughout the series. The series is split between Solid Snake, which is current day and core of the series, and Big Boss which tells how it got there. So even though chronological order sounds right, for series its like reading a book backwards. |
That's a good point. After all, the series seems to evolve gameplay and story wise as they're made. After playing hours and hours with third person, it does feel uncomfortable going to a less advanced top camera angle with an alternate weird first person view. But if the series isn't followed at a certain order, one is liable to get lost and confused. Replaying the games is an option, but some people might want to enjoy the story chronologically. But that's up to the OP.
If he'd like to enjoy the story in a coherent order, play it chronologically
If he'd like to enjoy the gameplay and the series naturally, play it as they were released.
