TLDR

Users on the platform exchange personal rankings of the Metal Gear Solid games and argue about play order. Several accounts insist that following release sequence is essential because the titles were not created with a timeline in mind. One account shares an official timeline image and announces plans to play through in chronological order beginning with Peace Walker. Other participants in the thread call chronological approaches misguided and likely to diminish enjoyment for new players.

@NotcertaimNow that the dust has settled, the correct ranking of the first 4 mgs games is as follows: MGS MGS3 MGS2 MGS4
@nappablaateveryone who says yakuza is the exception and 0 is the best to start with is ill. i bet you also began watching star wars at episode 1
@NazRaiGamingDecided to play all the Metal Gear Games in Chronological order I already finished MGS Delta last year so will be starting with Peace walker , For anyone wishing to do the same here is the official timeline
@emetswifesince people have been posting their Metal Gear ranking, here's mine!
@casey_Payne23@herosindrome @nagohtrebor Dude knows I was adding to his post. He stated he played them all before too. I just don’t want people to hate MGS like I did for more than 10 years because they decided to start with MGS3 or, MGSV
@wafflesOmegaDumbest shit I ever see is always somebody going chronological when games were not made with a chronological order in mind You have two collections and a release order to follow like everyone else there is no excuse for being this dumb
@DustinCanFlyIMO MGS4 is the weakest in the main series. Curious to see how people will reevaluate it now with the remaster out.
@DreamboumI laughed out loud that there is so many cutscenes it asks you if you want to save midway through
@NoBarkNoonan_@DustinCanFly Nah. It’s a masterpiece for fans of the series as a whole
@puppycelebritymgs 2 and 3 have like 5 hours of cutscenes and 2 hours of gameplay. if this is a problem for you, then you don’t just dislike mgs4, you just dislike the series as a whole.
