I had never played a metal gear game until this one, but I wasn't a big of it. I really tried to like it, but i couldn't. On a technical level, the game is outstanding though. It controls very well and the mechanics are sound. It just wasn't for me.

For the love of God, do not judge the MGS franchise with this game. This isn't a MGS game and as soon as you play a good MGS you'll realise that.


Where would you recommend I start? I would really like to get into it.

the first one on the PS1, yes its an outdated game but... its a 17 years old game, and then move on to MGS2, 3 and 4 (In other words play them in order of release).


I don't have my ps1 anymore but I'll get the hd collection. I didn't know there was a lot of backlash about mgsv, so it's good to hear the rest of the franchise is better. Thank you!

Im a huge MGS fan, i only criticize MGSV because it does have its problems, and once you try out the other MGS games you will probably be surprised by how different they are, (and im not talking about quality here because as flawed as MGSV is, it does have a lot of quality and work put into it, it just gets repetitive, has bad pacing and the worst offender... its incomplete), the other games are way more invested in the story, (which keeps you on youre toes through the entire game) thats not to say that they dont have great gameplay to go along and keep you enterteined, its just that the story is really really good.

Also a little disclaimer my favorite game in the series is MGS3 (and a lot of people agree that its the best in the series and its actually story wise the first in the series), so if by any chance the first game puts you off (due to how outdated it is, or if you werent "feeling it") then at least play MGS 3 its one of the few games i would actually call a masterpiece.
