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?!

MGS1 is not too long and bangs from start to finish. Mgs2 can feel slow at times but then you get to mgs3 which is the best in the series and probably peak Kojima.

2 and 4 are where a lot of storytelling happens, 5 has the best gameplay of any game of this type, 3 does both.
