SO YOU WANT TO GET INTO METAL GEAR

ampullae:

What order?

I highly recommend release order:

  • Metal Gear
  • Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake
  • Metal Gear Solid
  • Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
  • Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
  • Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
  • Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
  • Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes & The Phantom Pain

If you are an absolute stickler for chronological order, here:

  • Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
  • Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
  • Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes & The Phantom Pain
  • Metal Gear
  • Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake
  • Metal Gear Solid
  • Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
  • Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

Are Metal Gear 1 & 2 necessary?

You can read a plot summary of Metal Gear. But Metal Gear 2 has a lot of plot points and characters that return in the next game. I’d say don’t skip unless you just really really can’t get into old 2D games.

What about Portable Ops?

It’s not really canon.

Original Metal Gear Solid or Twin Snakes Remake?

I’m always gonna vouch for the original, unless you absolutely need more polygons.  It’s more or less the same– just directed like a fanboy’s version of The Matrix.

Playing options:

There’s two collections that have a majority of the games:

  • Metal Gear Solid HD Collection – MG1, MG2, MGS2, MGS3, MGS: PW
  • Metal Gear Solid Legacy Collection – MG1, MG2, MGS2, MGS3, MGS4, MGS: PW (plus a download code for MGS1 if bought new)

I really recommend playing if you can because they have some unique and enjoyable segments. If that’s not an option, I’d vote for a movie that features some gameplay or a let’s play over a cutscene compilation.

Anything else?

Yes, Metal Gear Rising is the best spin-off ever. It’s hack-n-slash rather than stealth, but it has the typical off-the-rails plot and endearing characters. It takes place after MGS4.

Why Catra Makes Me Cry

When Adora first left the Horde she told Catra she was leaving because the Horde was evil, did monstrous things to innocent people, and had been lying to them the whole time. And Catra responded, “what, you didn’t know?”.

And there’s so much to unpack there, but what really killed me was when I thought about why that was. Why was Catra so cynical when Adora bought the propaganda?

It’s because of how they were raised. Shadowweaver raised both of them abusively, but they got different flavors of abuse. Adora was the Golden Child and Catra was the Scapegoat. They were both abused, but Catra caught the brunt of the most violent abuse. She knew the Horde hurt innocent people because she was one of them.

And that puts a whole new twist on how angry Catra was when Adora wanted to leave. When Adora said “what the Horde is doing is wrong and we should leave because of it”, Catra’s response wasn’t really “you’re just learning the Horde hurts innocent people now?” it was, “it wasn’t enough to make you leave when they hurt me?”.

That’s why she’s so angry. From her perspective, Adora was willing to leave the Horde because of what they did to these random people they’d never met before. But she’d never offered to do the same for her.

Catra refused to go with Adora because, just by asking, she broke her heart.
