Go in release order. MGS 1, 2, 3, 4. The MSX games are good for the time but haven't aged well >_> You can just read about them in MGS1 even though they do reference events from both of them.

I'm planning to do it chronologically. So the Metal Gear games first. I don't think that will be too interesting, but I might make a playthrough topic when I get to MGS1.

Despite what some people would tell you now since they turned on Kojima, the MGS games are still really good and landmark titles for their era. I think you'll have a great time.

I honestly have no idea if I will like stealth gameplay. The stealthiest game I've played is probably Sly Cooper 2.

That's a fair assessment, though I will say I'm one who is absolutely terrible at stealth gameplay yet I really enjoyed the MGS games when I played them a while back.

The versions they're releasing are the objectively worse options compared to emulating old copies you can buy elsewhere, but you do you

It's not hard to get used to, especially with the radar. Be wary with MGS3 though. Camouflage is very powerful but without the radar you can easily just run straight into a guard without thinking. The game really plays that effect both ways - the guards have difficulty seeing you, and you too have issues seeing them.

Very immersive once you get used to it though.

what why

Edit: googled it. It's about the the personified boobs that breathes through their skin. That's one of the few things I know about metal gear. I also know:

Snake's ass is divine
Lots of cardboard boxes
Climbing a ladder vs climbing a stepladder
A field of pink flowers where love blooms amidst battle
someone is named Psycho Mantis, which is a great name
You play as Raiden in the sequel and everyone hates it
You're Big Boss in 5
Someone is named Sssniper Wolf

And that's it.

Wait what.
Look at the graphical options for the "remastered" versions. Even on PS5 you're getting capped at 30FPS for MGS 1. Then it varies for Switch. Resolution on other platforms is generally capped at 1080p on PC or PS5/Series X. If you just buy old versions of them then emulate, you can get much better performance. I believe GOG is even selling a few of them

I remember when I first played the demo for MGS1. I was terrible at the whole sneaking gameplay at first, but the immersive storytelling and cool atmosphere were just so amazing that it motivated to keep playing and git gud.

MGS1 can't run past 30 fps because of engine limitations. Using a hack will cause the games logic to screw up. The switch versions I have no defense for.

I could have sworn that someone going over MGS1 said you could tinker with shit so that the game speed doesn't get wonky, but I've only emulated PSP, Switch, & DS/GBA games so I have no idea how the PlayStation ones work.
The switch is just old as fuck lol, but while I personally don't care about 1080p for stuff as I watch most content at that or 720p, it is still sad on major consoles that we can't get better

It's not really possible. MGS1 is my favorite game of all time. If I was able to run it at 60fps I would have done it already.

It really depends on the creator's intent. TV shows in particular have been notorious for airing episodes out of order because the networks didn't care about the creator's vision or overall story.

I mean, if the episodes are out of order than yeah.

I remember that being the case with Homicide season 1 or 2.

So amend it to intended release order, I guess.

That reminds me of Darkwing Duck, it had new episodes released out of order in two different TV channels at the same time.

Have fun. I did the same and played 1-4 a couple of years ago. It took some time until I got the hang of it, but eventually enjoyed them. I finally understood why the series has been praised all the time.
I left out 5 and the spin-offs though.

Objection. Haruhi is better chronologically unless you just want to pretend to be extra intellectual (if so, you probably think the Endless Eight adaptation is the best thing ever).
