Get of my lawn!
First game I bought for my, at the time, new PS3 Slim version and in actuality my first very own Playstation I owned (we had Playstation 2 in the family so I had some PS1 classics from the get go). And since my only experience was Twin Snakes and the NES version of Metal Gear (which I never got out of the first forest area) the story was a bit hard to follow. I at least had watched the very long trailers for the other games that tried to sell those games as movies so I knew some characters, but not the big twists of the games. And it doesn't get better that we start in the the damn desert area. I hate deserts ever since playing King's Quest 7 and 5. And now I'm sneaking around like a 80 year old in some middle eastern battleground in search for Liquid Ocelot as he amasses some army of mercenaries. With you have a little mini-robot, a camouflage suit and some kind of futuristic eye-patch. And on the codec Otacon and Sunny. Why was Sunny? First time playing no idea. And playing the rest of the series didn't help much, but she apparently is Olga's daughter... and the question that followed who was Olga? Someone from Metal Gear Solid 2. Anyway, sneak around town you stumble upon Meryl who lead the Rat pack and new bosses of the games, the beauty and the beast brigade.
After the middle east you end up in south america tracking down Naomi who was in the first game and was missing during the rest of the series. After rescuing her you go to some eastern european country where the plot is revealed. Ocelot is highjacking the world controlling system the Patriots created who consists of Major Zero, the boss of Big Boss in Metal Gear Solid 3. Since every soldier must be connected to it basically Ocelot have full control of all the worlds armies. So you go back to Shadow Moses Island from the first game, which was basically the only major throwback I recognised. Yada-yada, follow Ocelot out on the sea on an old warship piloted by Mei Ling. Fight Ocelot on the top a crashed GW and then we are at the cemetery from the beginning when to my surprise Big Boss appears with Major Zero in a life-support wheel-chair. Big Boss turns of the life-support and then dies himself due to the FoxDie virus that existed in Snake, the end.
It was a fun game, but as you can guess from me skipping it, my first time I didn't even know who half of the characters was since I hadn't played the games they were in. They also released a patch a couple of years later which added trophy support so I basically had to restart the game since it was necessary for it to register. I only mustered to go to south america, after that I preoccupied myself with other games. And a big problem with my original run was the throwbacks to other characters which I didn't know so it isn't much for beginners. Playing them in order is probably the best course of action.
