We don't need Rome telling us what to do.
Ive played all of metal gear solid one, two, some of three, most of four, and I just beat ground zeroes, yet when someone starts explaining the patriots or fox die or some poo poo my eyes start glazing over.

Ground Zeroes almost made it through without anything real crazy but Kojima couldn't last an hour without some nano vampire level stupid poo poo happening.

So what the hell are these games about really

MGS is all about poo poo happening that Kojima thinks is cool at the time, and then he tries to justify its place in the plot with ridiculous exposition dumps

MGS1 is an uncomplicated story about how nukes are bad, deterrence isn't sound, and how tabula rasa is a thing.
MGS2 is about how video games propagate the military industrial complex
MGS3 is about james bond
MGS4 is about how kojima really wants to stop making these games

solid snake is a genetically engineered super soldier who fights highly trained government agents for the good of the world
big boss is a retard who fights geriatrics, eats glowing mushrooms, and is afraid of dracula

The games are literally about a man obsessed with carboard boxes. He could never get a job at the UPS store. This is what happens.

MGS1 is someone's Escape From New York fanfic
MGS2 is a middle finger to anyone who expected a traditional sequel
MGS3 is indeed James Bond
MGS4 is Kojima killing the series.
Peace Walker is Kojima reviving the series albeit at a smaller scale because Konami dropped his weight in gold on his desk
Ground Zeroes/Phantom Pain is Kojima continuing the series because all successful creators realize that when your children become bigger than you are you either pull a George Lucas and gently caress with it as much as possible or pull a Harlan Ellison and murder all the main characters. Kojima is Japan's George Lucas.

MGS1: Terrorists have taken over a remote Alaskan base. Stop them, Snake!

MGS2: Terrorists have taken over a remote oil drilling platform. Stop them, Raiden!

MGS3: Terrorists have taken over a remote Russian base. Stop them, Ja-er,Snake!

MGS4: The guy who's using your brother's arm can kill everyone with his jazz hands. And Chris Tucker and the girl who used to fawn over you are working for the computers that secretly run the world. And that cyborg no one wanted to play in 2 but now everyone wants to play has to stay alive or the autistic girl you're babysitting will die. And your best friend is the gooniest motherfucker alive but he's getting more action than your geriatric rear end ever will. Oh, and you're dying.

somebody post that scene from a cinematic in mgs4 where snake is approaching a village through tall grass using that fingertip crawl, and the camera is positioned directly behind his butt and lingers there for like a minute straight.
