is this a good game to start with metal gear if I never played it before?

Imo the best way to start is in the order that they came out. Metal Gear Solid is a great start. If you want to go further back, the 2D MCX Metal Gear games is also a good start. But if you don't like playing 2D game that's fine. You can read up on the past stories in the Metal Gear Solid disc. This game is a good place to start.

If you can't bear the dated graphics and the limited gameplay, check out Twin Snakes, it's a modern remake.

Pretty much this OP, if you play in order you get to see how the serie improved.

more like a remaster, its no where near a modern remake (2004 and game cube graphics are not modern XD)

More like a downgrade considering that it sold pretty porrly due to how bad it is, the Matrix cutscenes really ruin the game and the gameplay being MGS2 BUT maps are MGS1 style (not made for MGS2 gameplay in mind) it really break the game making it far too easy, young players prefer graphism over gameplay but good graphisms doesn't make a great game.

That's why we don't have that failure in VOL1 and probably in no VOL but we don't know.

If you want to play them in Chronological order you can find it online. That way events will make more sense but it's quite jarring going from the more modern titles back to the older ones.

At least playing them in order of release you get to move along with the advancements in controls and gameplay.
