I have always thought that the Metal Gear games have always been trying to tell us what was about to happen in the future. But they also tell us what happened in the past in a way the government would have never wanted us to know. It's one of those narratives that exist in the real world that confirms for me how corrupt the world leaders were and still are. To be honest, I am quite surprised that these games were allowed to be released because of how much the real world story is so close to what actually happened, well, in terms of the cut scenes. It is everything that the governments would have never told us. I see this in other games as well, such as the Assassin's Creed series. There are a lot of things in those games that hit home about real-world history that you would have never been told or made aware about by real-world governments. That's what I love the most about the Metal Gear series and Assassin's Creed Series as they literally try to warn you about real-world events.

@@B33FY2011100% the more you learn growing up then you play these and it all makes sence.

Just so you know, they have a nine part series explaining every single game in the timeline. It came out a few years ago. It’s awesome. You should check it out.

War has changed, now it's mercenaries for hire

MG1, 2, Snakes revenge and Ghost Babel also feature Solid Snake.

I was a kid that would watch my older bro play twin snakes and was intrigued by it

The remake is a 1:1 just revamped to modern console graphics settings. It’s going to be an absolute masterpiece

Welcome brother I’ve been the same opinion as u since I was a kid replay the five solid games ever yearbnever gets old actually gets better the better u become at the mechanics all masterpieces apart from five which gameplay wise was a masterpiece

@@sumstuff6956 what was the most recent game when you became an enjoyer? Basically, are you someone who found the franchise after it was pretty much packed up (like me), or are you a veteran for metal gear?

@@EzraEpic I'm personally a veteran MGS player. i've played and beaten all of the main console ones and grew up playing 2 so many times that i know it like the back of my hand. I still Happily welcome you to the community. if you haven't experienced them yet or the older one, i recommend emulation. i just replayed through 4 and by todays standards, the ps2 MGS 2 hasn't aged too well mechanic wise but it's at least better in the HD Remaster which also comes with Peace Walker (one i skipped until a few years ago) these are accessible through rPCs3 if your have and your PC can handle emulation

@@moneyboy503 i run a 1660 super but I'm not too software savvy, and with the recent events of my computer being a nightmare to troubleshoot the current problem, I think I might wait for things of that sort. Other than that, I'm glad to know that some people are accepting. I've seen some vets talk about how a bunch of people found rising and just ignored the rest of the story completely.

@@EzraEpic no stress, you know about it now when you're ready to look into it and there are plenty of tutorials. Mgs4 is VERY trick to get running though so don't feel afraid to comment again even if it's months down the line for help. And nahh, I'm passionate about getting people to experience the things that I love in hopes they love them too, but forcing someone to experience something or to say their love is unjustified by hopping in during the middle is just gonna make someone not wanna experience it

Me to😂

You can buy them separately too

I'm with you bro

Luckily I had a PS to get that first play memory burned into my mind. But I bought a PS3 just to play MGS4. And I just bought a gamecube to play Twin Snakes. They are all still so great.

Not one bit.

Basically stuff like recruiting Eva and Ocelot in the game. Gray Fox/Null I think might have been one of those details too but MGSV also retconned MG2 since Big Boss was in a coma when he was meant to meet Frank in Vietnam.

Every Metal Gear Solid game has small details that deviate from the saga because in the sequels they have been retconned or left broken. So, OPS is not an exception and actually it's basically on the same status of any other MGS game. To be specific, the details of OPS that have been contradicted so far are just a couple of minor things that don't effect the story or the series at all. Edit: leaving aside special quests like recruiting Eva and Ocelot, for those it's clear that are just meant to extend the longevity of the game(in fact, you can't even get them in the first run). The characters from MGS3 that you can recruit and that are canon in the story, are just two, Paramedic and Sigint.

​@jodlad8343 that's why Kojima made it easy and never included it on any of the collections or story recaps.

I prefer Ultron

I know the non canon games never get the love they deserve

@@solid_salsa it’s canon bro

Suggestive Gaming has a 6 hour timeline explination

Glad I’m not the only one…talk about doin’ some research or fact-checking if you are unsure…

PO can't become non-canon unless Konami decide to request every copy of MGS4 and PW back to edit out the PO references.

​@jodlad8343 so you think that ape escape is canon too eh? It's referenced. Or what about zone of enders? That's in 2 games that can remember.

​@@solid_salsa I believe the ape escape thing is with Solid Snake, so who knows what happened between 2 and 4, he might as well have been chasing monkeys. After God of War confirmed PS All Stars to be canon anything can be haha. Zone of the Enders were a heavy influence for Hal when building MG Rex, so it does exist in the MG universe somehow, same with Policenauts. For all I know both Monster Hunter and Assassin's Creed is there too

I agree. Sins of the Father is the best game trailer ever made.

They're just a few days late lol

That British chick also got the release date of Snake Eater woefully incorrect @2003… I don’t know how I am supposed to watch/enjoy/find useful a video where something as simple as a date on a calendar from less than 20-years-ago can be inaccurately shared…

@@jasondwilliams972 She's English, and I'm assuming that was just a typo in the script that wasn't done so deliberately.

Something's we just don't talk about.

The Acid series was great, but they're not canon and didn't really get a huge following compared to any of the mainline games or even Metal Gear Rising.

Best gameplay but it's way less story focused which is kind of what we play mgs for.

@@DaRkLoRd-rc5yu I play MGS for the flow, which is essentially following story beats. The stop and go of the mission structure just takes me out of it. I hated the building up the base element, and I hated wasting time extracting this guy and that guy and the next guy, just to get to the next story beat. So, when you use “we” you’re absolutely wrong! I played for the story, and all the whacky boss encounters. That’s why I personally like MGS3 the best, and MGSV is at the bottom. MGS3 MGS Twin Snakes MGS2 MGS4 and MGS5

@@JM-pm1yb ah for me I like Mgs1 Mgs4 Mgs3 Mgs2 Mgs5 Peace walker Portable ops I do like the gameplay alot in mgs1 I like it's simplicity. And mgs4 the game mechanics are crazy good. The first 2 acts especially with the warzone in the middle east and then the jungle are great imo and I love the stealth camo. Also the story is great in mgs4 even if there are too many cutscenes I think it ties the story up really well and has great action scenes.

It does.

@@Mortified_Penguin ye they fixed it

@@K1llerB333 It always worked 🤭

@@Mortified_Penguin nuh uh

@@K1llerB333 Yes. Any audio issues you encountered were on your end. The audio worked just fine when it was uploaded.

But would you attend? You clearly didn't attend grammar lessons 🤭

i believe MGS4 takes place in 2018

No, Portable Ops and Rising aren't canon, nor is Twin Snake's the definitive version of Metal Gear Solid.

I believe MG1 takes place in the late 1980s, but I know MG2 takes place in 1999
