I'd watched a Let's Play for Metal Gear Solid V a while ago and I found myself thinking about the story from time to time. MGSV was the first game in the series that I'd watched, and I was obviously missing a lot of background information. Since I was thinking about the story and curious about the pre-established characters, I decided to take the plunge and go back and check out the old games.

I was informed that the first two Metal Gear games weren't really that important to the plot, so I'm going to check out the main Metal Gear Solid games. For Metal Gear Solid, I watched this series of videos.

As I'd mentioned in my MGSV review, stealth games aren't my thing, so I wasn't big on the gameplay and mostly just followed it in the background. I was watching more for the story. I have mixed feelings about the story, but I do think that it helped me get a better understanding of the MGS story.

Spoilers.
