i would recomend buying the HD version due to (as you said) the controls plus you will also get the better version of the games and all the other games if you want to play them-

Also even though my first MC was Solid Snake, i do prefer Big Boss as well,  and dont worry if you ever play any MGS featuring Solid Snake he is not that different from Big Boss, the big difference is the story revolving Big Boss is more appealing than the one that Solid Snake goes through.

now that i think about it Big Boss is more of an MC to MGS than Solid Snake, since he has been in 3 games (MGS 3, Peace Walker and now MGS V) versus the 2 that had featured Solid Snake as the MC (MGS 1 and 4).


Wasn't Snake in Portable Ops? Or is that like not canon?

Yeah, I don't know anything real about the overarching narrative, but it seems like Big Boss will have the more "character driven" stories while Solid has the more "plot driven" stories. Or maybe not. I don't know. But it feels like starting Star Wars with Episode 1. Everything is a suprise to me, which is cool because I know that 3 was really just a prequel explaining things people already know. Like how Ocelot is apparently a really important character who's not actually silly in any of the other games. Weird. But cool that he'll always be that silly young kid to me as I watch him grow.

you are right Portable Ops is not canon, its kind of like a side story that doesnt matter and isnt even canon to begin with so its completly avoidable.

and man now that you mention Ocelot... you should REALLY play some of the other games (1, 2 or 4 or all of them to be honest XD) because once you see him in his older days you are not going to recognize him, you got the backwards "fanservice treatment", in which you see him first as an inmature soldier who messes up a lot of the times an then you will see him... well im not going to spoil it so lets say you will see him as hes "true self".

also you are right about the way you described Big Boss having the more "character driven" stories and Snake having the "Plot Driven" ones, its huge story that obviously conects both characters and everything Big Boss does will cause all the... (lets say) events that Snake will have to deal later.
