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?!

ah then you have an advantage over me. Something about clanky games make me rage hard. Like something about me thinking i'm doing inputs correctly and they just don't work really fucks with me.

Yeah most of the misogyny isn't anything worse than normal anime bullshit. But watch out once you get to 5. I think that's the number? It's the one that I always side-eye hard. Also, I forgot to mention racism that at least starts around 2. But if you're prepared for it then you'll probably be fine. Especially since you have typical anime bullshit under your belt.
