There is a connection, just be sure to remember they are not the same person. As the stories of the games can be enjoyed as individual pieces, the next deciding factor becomes more important. The aged graphics and game mechanics might scare of people who might possibly enjoy the series as a whole.
Therefore Metal Gear Solid 3 is the nice middle ground. The gameplay is a bit dated, but still very serviceable and highly enjoyable. The graphics, especially on the widely available HD remake, are very nice and hold up great. On top of all that, the story of Metal Gear Solid 3 is where it all starts chronologically. Metal Gear Solid 3 is one of the best games of the series and probably the best place to start if you want a taste of the Metal Gear Solid brilliance. Staying in the style of chronologically following the games, this should lead to Portable Ops.
As this is not one of the better games, and offers very little to the overall narrative, this one is actually easily skipped. Peace Walker offers the most gameplay by far and goes a lot deeper into the story of Big Boss. Metal Gear Solid 4 offers the closing somewhat really of the whole saga but due to that, is extremely cutscene-heavy.
Even for a Metal Gear game! That is what I told the audience. There is a compromise in seeing how the world of MGS evolved, but is that really worth spoiling the story for? Also, saying older games are boring discredits generations of material. Lots of teenagers and kids will look back on older games and enjoy a ton of them if they gave them a shot.
Not all have aged well, but that does not mean they can not be enjoyed. Your email address will not be published. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Connect with us.
