New to MGS coming from death stranding.

[MOW]

TLDR question: Coming from death stranding is this a good MGS game to play? I looking to start a bit modern that has an open style design and work backwards in time from there.

So i have known about MGS since the first one came out but I never really was into stealth shooters however many years of trying new types of games I think what matters most is how a game is created above any genre bias I have. So naturally after playing death stranding and liking it I though maybe I should get into MGS. I think I want to try a more open one that is flexible and I think this one might be okay? Some of the other games I played that had stealth in it were games like Hitman 2, ghost recon wildlands, is this kind of in that same open style? I do want to get into the older MGS too but I want to start with something a bit open and flexible. Anyways what do you think? There are just so many MGS games and my knowledge is very limited.

if the story is unimportant you can play mgs5 because it is the most modern.

mgs4 is only available on ps3. it can be emulated but i don't recommend it because it is a movie. not a game. watch it

mgs3 is preferable but it is an old game. it is half movie and half game. play new one if money not problem.

mgs2 melts your brain but the gameplay may seem old. better mechanics. meta 97

mgs is very old. but i think it is the best mgs game. graphics are 240p. maybe even lower. meta 98

pixel games stories will surprise you. definitely don't skip it.

my personal advice is according to the release order

just get emulator and play og METAL GEAR SOLID on your mobile, you won't regret it

Maybe I will just play it in order after all. I will have to decide which 3 to play.

if you have a modern console or PC. just wait for MGS delta which is a remaster of MGS3 which is the first game chonologically.

play that, maybe emulate peace walker, then play ground zero THEN MGSV....thats big bosses story.

everything after that is solid snakes story, which is clasing MGS/mgs2/mgs4

Well you could start with this then:

https://store.steampowered.com/sub/886315/

MGS vol1 got 7 MGS game and it's on sale right now, you have :

Metal Gear (MSX)
Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (MSX)
Metal Gear Solid (Including VR Missions/Special Missions)
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (HD Collection version)
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (HD Collection version)
Metal Gear (NES/FC version)
Snake's Revenge (NES)

You could play the NES versions a bit to get that old feel, then play MSX versions (I liked them) and then you play MGS 1 2 & 3 in that order OR you can try to play it in story order but that would be difficult.

With everything we have on steam the story order right now is: MGS 3 ---> MGS5 ----> MSX versions ---> MGS 1 ----> MGS 2

But you would still miss some games as it's not complete on steam.

Otherwise there are also 2 spin-off you can find on steam: Metal gear reveangance and Metal gear Survive. One is an action game beat them all style and the other one is a survival base building type of game with end game co-op with similar controls to MGS5 and it spoil a bit MGS5 GZ (the beginning of MGS5).

Otherwise if you really don't want to play old games it's as someone said: MGS DELTA, it's a remake of MGS but storywise it's the first MGS game.

Hope that help.

This is a terrible MGS game, but a good stealth action game.
