It seems like The Boss has defected to Russia, becoming a traitor to the U. Russia is militarily represented by the Spetsnaz GRU, their military force. In this way, it looks like the US attacked Russia, a very ingenious move setup by Russia. The U. Operation Snake Eater. Nobody else knows about Skull Face involvement during these events. Ocelot takes EVA as hostage, but is eventually defeated and forced to retreat. During an interrogation being held by Volgin, The Boss and Ocelot, Naked Snake is hit by a bullet and loses one of his eyes.

What Naked Snake doesn't know, though, is that EVA is actually a spy from the Chinese governments to keep in mind that also China wants to put their hands on the Philosophers' Legacy. EVA eventually manages to obtain the microfilm, but it is later revealed that that microfilm was a fake. The real one was obtained by Ocelot, a triple agent that works for the Philosophers. Ocelot was in fact ADAM, but no-one knew about it.

Ocelot gives the Legacy to the U. It is assumed that the remaining half is in KGB hands. Naked Snake discovers that The Boss did not defect the US, but rather was following her orders all along.

She was ordered by the Government to gain the trust of Volgin by giving him the nuclear warhead, and her goal was - of course - to gain access to the Legacy. What they didn't expect though, was that Volgin would actually use the nuclear warhead on the Russian Research Facility to incriminate the US.

At that point the US revised The Boss' mission. She then had to play along in her role and wait to be killed by Naked Snake in order to save the US from being incriminated. She was a hero of her country, forever remembered as a traitor. Khrushchev is thrown out of office soon after.

During the Mozambican War of Independence, Big Boss - now a mercenary - becomes acquainted with Frank Jaeger, a very young boy soldier. He places him in a rehab facility believing he would be safe.

In the rehab facility, Frank Jaeger is actually taken by the CIA and used as a test subject for creating a super soldier. He is brainwashed and given the codename Null.

FOX now intends to find the other half of the Philosophers' Legacy. They fight and Big Boss is eventually captured. Big Boss recognizes him as Frank Jaeger, but Null does not believe his stories.

After the fight, Null is defeated and eventually believes Big Boss. He now remembers his true identity as Frank Jaeger. These include money, soldiers, and the plans to build a new military nation. Big Boss stops the nuclear attack planned by the real Metal Gear.

The mission is officially completed. In the meantime Ocelot is planning to take control of both halves of the Philosopher's Legacy. He kills the head of CIA, and obtains the second half of the Legacy together with the list of the names of the Philosophers.

Major Zero secretly starts a project called Les Enfants Terrible with the goal to create clones of the greatest soldier of all time, Big Boss. To do this he uses EVA as a surrogate mother. The twin brothers Liquid Snake and Solid Snake are born. They are considered imperfect clones. A third, perfect, clone is produced: Solidus Snake. All the clones are given accelerated ageing genes in order to avoid them being used or revolting against the Patriots.

Strangelove - is shaped following the personality traits of The Boss.

It is revealed that Galvez whose actual name is Zadornov always worked together with Coldman, but is now intended to betray him. This will incriminate the US and split the north and the south, giving a strong advantage to Russia. Zadornov shoots Hot Coldman and forces Dr. Strangelove to reprogram the AI to attack Cuba.

In reality he reprograms it to fake a nuclear attack towards Cuba, and making the attack seem Russian driven.

Skull Face — without the permission of Major Zero — funds Code Talker's research but forces him to study the microbes' potential in nuclear research.

The research leads to the development of different microbes also called 'archaea' holding several enhancing proprieties useful for military purposes.

They send away Chico in an expedition to find his sister, but he sneaks out and tries to go and rescue Paz on his own. He is soon taken prisoner and held in chains together with Paz in Camp Omega.

On the helicopter Paz reveals that she has another explosive in her body as she jumps out of the chopper and explodes.

Everyone thinks that there are no survivors. In the meantime, Dr. Skull Face, who forced PAZ to reveal Major Zero's position, sends him a package containing a pin belonging to The Boss, but infected with the parasite.

Gameplay wise it was similar to Metal Gear Acid. Revengeance is the second game to feature Raiden as the main protagonist and featured more action-oriented gameplay, with much less emphasis on stealth. The story is set in , four years after the events of Metal Gear Solid 4. It follows Raiden, now a complete Cyborg Ninja , as he uncovers a plot to turn children in cyborg soldiers. The combat was smooth yet fast-paced and the Zandatsu mechanic was completely badass!

The story was really satisfying, yet a bit short. Another plus was the boss fights , each with different mechanics. The developers want a sequel. Apparently, the feud between Konami and Kojima was the reason why the developer team had to postpone their plans , at least for now. The game has mostly positive reviews, although its short duration is to be considered.

The full game, called The Phantom Pain , was released the following year. Gameplay wise it is very smooth, with various mechanics that allow the player to navigate and execute missions however they want. One minus would be the constant loading times between missions, which was a bit time-consuming. Storywise the game is set in and ties in with the original Metal Gear of Some also long-awaited explanations will be given about things that might have been left a mystery before.

There was one last release. Not a really good last taste to be left with, to be really honest. They released Metal Gear Survive. It holds a huge legacy and has proved to be great gaming franchise. Metal Gear Survive is an action-survival game.

There was no essence of Metal Gear anywhere in the game. I struggled to even include it in this list, but a complete list has to be totally complete. And this is it. This is every Metal Gear game ever released. Got a favorite? Feel free to tell us in the comment section below!

Metalhead with OCD. Sony fanboy. Bass player and good-story lover. Most likely to be found on Guild Wars 2 unable to decide what to do next. I have never played another game series that has left me as speechless as this one has. I mean Snake Eater pretty much left me devastated when I was young. So thank you for trying to put it out there in the world to get people into them, because I never knew how to go about explaining a series of this magnitude without spoiling it.

Indeed, it is a captivating franchise. Might seem a little overwhelming at first sight, but rest assured you are in for a hell of a ride. Thanks for the feedback! Your email address will not be published. More Game Franchises. Assassin's Creed Games. Battlefield Games. Castlevania Games.

Devil May Cry Games. Final Fantasy Games. Metal Gear Solid Games. Ninja Gaiden Games. Spider-Man Games. Total War Games. Yakuza Games. More Game List Posts. There are also way more cards to collect, with over this time around, each one representing a different weapon, item, or moment from the storied franchise. The additions don't stop there, though. An arena mode lets you fight against iconic bosses like Liquid Snake with Acid's unique turn-based system, allowing you to earn points outside of the story to buy new cards.

And improved tutorials and guides explain and inform you of Acid's various systems, and are available for perusal at any moment. It is not. The game opens in some kind of bizarre jungle sequence divorced from the rest of the game with Snake parachuting in with a bunch of other people who are never seen or heard from again.

Under its mountain of flaws, though, the inherent fun of the Metal Gear series still shines. Even in this mauled state, hiding from enemies and amassing an increasingly versatile armory of infiltration gear is still a damn good time.

The first game developed by the now dissolved Kojima Productions, Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops marks the very first time a canonical entry has appeared on a handheld - kind of. Set six years after the events of Snake Eater, Portable Ops follows the exploits of Big Boss and his attempts to build the beginnings of a soldier's paradise.

Since Kojima was only a producer on Portable Ops, though, its importance to the overall storyline is debatable. Portable Ops does, however, introduce the neat ability to find and recruit soldiers in the field - an idea expanded on by Peace Walker and more fully fleshed out in The Phantom Pain.

The controls aren't great curse the PSP's lack of a second analog stick , but it does a decent job of taking the modern 3D Metal Gear style and making it playable on the go. Just be careful: if you want the story, get Portable Ops, as PO Plus is a stand-alone expansion that rips out the story entirely. Best bit: Slowly building a cadre of loyal soldiers by stuffing them in the back of a truck.

The true, canonical sequel to Metal Gear makes the unofficial Snake's Revenge look primitive by comparison. The music is better, the animations are more fluid, and the story is deeper and more complex - which makes it all the more surprising that the game wouldn't officially leave its native Japan for nearly 16 years.

Thankfully, the Western release of Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence finally gave us a chance to experience this lost chapter in the series' history. Metal Gear 2 didn't just improve the enemy AI or give Snake a radar and the ability to crawl into tight spots; it's also the first entry that forces the player to break the fourth wall and scan their instruction manual for tap codes and other clues to find new codec frequencies.

If not for some unfortunate backtracking, Metal Gear 2 would be the perfect 2D entry in the series. Best bit: Improvising a flamethrower out of a lighter and aerosol can to fight Big Boss at the end David Roberts. Metal Gear, in its pure form on the MSX2 computer, had a tortured road to release. Crazy bosses, frenemies like Grey Fox, and the tortured relationship between Solid Snake and Big Boss all started here in a taxing, unusual adventure. Anthony John Agnello.

It doesn't matter that the Game Boy Color version of Metal Gear Solid known as Ghost Babel in Japan isn't canon, taking place on an alternate timeline seven years after the events of the original Metal Gear.

Despite its small stature, Metal Gear Solid on the Game Boy Color packs in a deep, mature storyline while still being rated 'E', no less , following Snake as he battles a separatist force in Central Africa and listens to or reads, in this case reams of codec dialog.
