Yeah MGS3 was my first MGS game so Big Boss has been more of 'the hero' to me, I played the games totally out of order.  Before I buy MGS5 Ive decided to play all the games again, I'm about halfway through MGS1 right now.  Just need to finish 2, 3, 4, Peace Walker, and Ground Zeroes first.  Probably get to MGS5 in a few decades ha.

I'm guessing you haven't played the original Metal Gear games? Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake? Just curious. You definately do want to play them in chronological order. I would actually recommend just doing that. Start with MGS 3 and work your way to MGS4. That includes playing Phantom Pain before MGS1 :P

"Big Boss has been more of 'the hero' to me"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! OH FUCK! That was a good one xD

You might be more of a Big Boss guy and love the character to death. Though how the hell is he more "heroic" than Solid Snake?

 

I had MGS3 Subsistence, which I believe came with the MG1/2.  I was playing through 1 and got stuck somewhere and didn't have the urge to finish, I was way more interested in the 3D games.

 I would say the things that BB did during MGS3 were pretty heroic.  When I played it I knew that he would eventually turn bad (in the series) but that entire game he stayed a 'good guy'.  He seems like a tragic protagonist.

Anakin/Vader is more interesting than Luke to me, *shrug*.  Watching a good guy go bad is fascinating.
