I've never played a Metal Gear game because I figured that it was some military glazing action movie wannabe with a couple of wacky memeable moments here and there.

Well I was watching a someone play through the original and this shit actually seems right up my alley. It's way, way goofier and less chuddy than I expected. It is very action movie, but it happens to mimic the style of the only type of action movie I like. The type that is so over the top and silly that you wonder if it's taking itself seriously or not. Like Escape from New York in game form.

I can pirate legally acquire literally every game in the series easily, But where should I even start? There's like a million of these games and remakes. Should I start with NES game? Metal Gear Solid PS1 or Twin Snakes? Which ones are skippable? What the hell is a Revengeance?!

Lucky you that psx, ps2, and ps3 emulators are pretty solid now.

Play the originals in the first versions that came out IMO, but you can find a copy of the HD collection for ps3 that has MGS2, MGS3, and MGS: Peacewalker on it.

I dont really recommend playing the remakes because Kojima was very intentional with what he puts into the games. He too is a bit of a character in the series.
