IGN: Making Sense of Metal Gear Solid

Feeling lost? Confused? Adrift? Don't panic. IGN is here to help with a brief rundown of the entire Metal Gear Solid series, from start to finish.

[Time Lord]

I wonder what this will get?

[Breakfast]

Seeing as 10 is the highest you can go....i think maybe a 5 :)

[Timesplitter14]

@ Breakfast...

I curse you and your descendance for 7 generations as you shall lose unspeakable amounts of bubbles and gain enough disagrees to pile them up and reach the angry gods in their heavenly kingdom so you can receive their furious punishment. Your fall will lead you to the fiery plains of Hell where you shall live for the rest of your life, regretting this very comment.

That is all.

[PLiPhaze]

I think Timesplitter14 pretty much covered all I was going to say....

[sonarus]

hahaha breakfast and his descendants just got owned

[Acidicpack]

all the mags and gaming sights that are going to have to review MGS4 will have to redo there rating system cause the MGS4 story line is going to be worth a 20!!!! woooooot.

[AlterEgo]

not me lmao

its from TUS

i'm just as mad as you are

:(

[Nitrowolf2]

What!!!
dam him to he11
he should have gotten the collecter edition

lucky him

[mazirjones]

Worth it for this game, but hopefully we'll soon see an end to this trend...yeah you know it, i'm a poet

[tweaker]

Damn that lucky guy. Looks like he works at a game store. Not even George Bush can get a copy that early. :(

[juuken]

>_<

[bloomerist]

pretty poor explanation of the plot thus far

[Captain Tuttle]

I'm not a Metal Gear fan...I don't know anything about the series. Probably my loss. But I got nothing from that article.

[LastDance]

I think he was trying to keep it as simple as he could

[pwnsause]

AlterEgo, thanks for showing us the box, 1080p confirmed! we just dont know if its native 1080p, possibly upscaled

[LenHart]

It doesnt matter

You are talking about the biggest game of 2008 --MGS4

[pwnsause]

i know, but its a good thing though for those 1080p owners

[Timesplitter14]

Wrong. We are talking about the biggest game. Period.

[DiabloRising]

Want a good explanation? Ask away. I'll give you the answer to ANY question you want (pre MGS4)

[Timesplitter14]

Explain.... the Patriots (who, what, when, why, how...). Good luck.

[LastDance]

Major zero and big boss. ;)

[Timesplitter14]

But in MGS2, they say the 12 patriots died around the year 1900

[LastDance]

Yeah...but if you play portable ops..there are some tell tale signs that big boss, ocelot and major zero founded the patriots....perhaps the original American branch of the philosophers were who otacon was talking about?

[yourgodisdead]

I never get sick of reading about MGS, the first videogame series to capture my attention at a young age and keep it.

[IzKyD1331]

no matter how many times i play MGS2, i will never FULLY understand the story lol(and i've beaten the game 3 times already), i don't think anyone has besides kojima himself lol

[Timesplitter14]

Same for me lol. And I'm at 5 times. I kinda know what the Patriots wanna do, but I don't really get what they are and how they do it.

[LastDance]

yea and once you reach a tangible explanation, you just hear Otacon at the end of the game which refutes any possible answers haha.

[OJ_juice]

"Until Metal Gear Solid 4 reveals it was all a dream or something."

LOL, I will so kill myself if that happens.

[sandip787]

this is a duplicate http://www.n4g.com/gaming/N...

but oh well its MGS, who cares!

[Mr_Kuwabara]

Guys don't read this article. It's just horrible. You're better off reading Wikipedia than what the writer wrote there. There's a bunch of mis-understood information that he added on that article plus he started it all wrong. He should start from the order of release of the all the canon games regardless if MGS3 is a prequel.

[Stapler]

I still prefer gametrailers' retrospective on the series (altho it does ruin the endings of pretty much every metal gear if you haven't played them)

[ScentlessApprentice7]

Anybody with more than half a brain could understand the overall plot of the MGS series from part 1 to the new entry of part 4.

[SL1M DADDY]

From one of the webs worst sites ever is asking the blind to lead the blind. Go to a more reliable source and get the full grasp of information rather than trusting in IGNorance.

[darando]

prasie the lord

[buddyro]

going on but for some reason I am interested in metal gear solid all of a sudden I am not looking forward to purchasing Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty,Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance then Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence I will revisit all of the past Metal Gear Solids before I have the heart to defeat Metal Gear Solid 4.
