From what I remember: Metal Gear 1, Metal Gear Solid 1, and MGS4 are Snake Snake. MGS3 is Not-Snake aka Big Boss but is largely written the same way. It's the same character in MGS5 and Metal Gear Peace Walker but I haven't played either so I can't comment further. MGS2 and Metal Gear Rising is Raiden who is Definitely Not Snake but is mostly a fine character unless you really want Snake Snake. Rising's Raiden is good and cool anyways. In MGS2's first act you do play as Snake Snake though.
I don't remember Metal Gear 2 at all.
e: I knew I forgot something!
Spoilers
MG, MG2, MGS, and MGS4 are about Solid Snake.
MGS2, and MGR are about Raiden.
MGA, MGA2 are about a Solid Snake clone in a separate canon.
MGSPO and MGSPO+ are about Big Boss in a separate canon.
MGS3, MGSPW are about Big Boss
MGS5 is about Venom Snake, a man who is made to look like Big Boss, and later is presented as Big Boss in the final battle of MG1.
The Real Big Boss aka Naked Snake is the end boss of MG2, and MG4 he turns up at the very end. He's also the reason for Venom Snake's situation and placement in MGS5 and the ending of said game.

Also, that video of MGSurviVe looks like DLC rather than a full game. But if it is, wormholes and zombies aren't the weirdest things to happen in the MG series.

No, in MGS, Snake needs to switch his controller to port 2 when fighting Psycho Mantis. If you think about it, that one pretty much takes the cake. Still zombies and wormholes just don't fit.

Even though it was just a cheap rumble pack trick, as a young chap, that's hands down the best experience of the whole game. Even today and knowing how it's done, it's still brilliant and I give Konami full points on that one.
"Place your controller on the floor in front of you and I'll move it with my mind."
*rumbles to the side*
"Excuse me, sir? Might you tell me who put this poop in my pants?"
It's even cooler with the GameCube rerelease.
"Ah, I see you've been playing a lot of Animal Crossing."

Zombies are so easy to explain. They're the fallen comrada of whoever is controlling them. My dollar is on a hivemind supervillain. Wormholes could be another character's funky power. All the villains have powers. Sometimes they explain them with pseudo-science like nanotechnology-ridden Vamp, but overall it has some supernatural element. Psycho Mantis has more wtf mind powers than I care to go into, and it isn't really explained scientifically. Good luck explaining The End's photosynthesis, or the Burning Man or Colonel Volgen. Or the weird zombie super soldier fog character in MGSV. I still don't know what his deal is.
There's ALSO a chance this is non-canon or VR or some other form of fuckery. As a co-op survival game, it already takes us away from the Snake saga, so who the hell knows if anything even matters. I'm not trying to defend Konami, but just defending the fact the series is fucked up.
If they screw with it even more, then it's just the next step in the series. Metal Gear AC!D was a wicked series, despite being noncanon and full to the brim with wtf. AC!D2 was especially cool, and would easily be discredited from the main series as being too wtf. So, eh.

Konami stated that Survive was set in an alternate universe. So it's pretty much non-canon.

I'm currently contemplating the ways in which I can be an asshole to someone being an asshat to someone else, and then realizing I'm way too lethargic for it.
Ah, sweet, sweet lethargy. I'd snuggle it if it were a person.

author=pianotmI wanted to. I really wanted to participate. But i didn't. And that's unfortunate.
I'm thinking about how we just had a review event and I didn't participate in it even a little.

The best way to be an asshole to someone if they don't live near you:
Get powdered milk.
Strew it all over their lawn.
Leave it up to the elements to deal justice.
Basically when it rains they get milk on the lawn. Add some sunny days and it curdles. Smells to high hell and beyond. X3

Well now, I never thought of doing this. XD Now I want to.
Here's a thought: How can No Man's Sky explorers have such vast tech to explore the galaxy, and not have a frigging MAP?
I got lost in a same-looking frigging cave for a frigging hour before the game crashed, and reloaded me way back in time aboard my ship. ERRRRG!
If only I had an area map. It doesn't even need to memorize anything. Just show me where I am! An hour!!!

It's time to get back to the future.

Who's got the time for cartography with all these modern vidja gams?
What's the point of No Man's Sky? I'm watching it on GG and it just seems like you fly for hours in space, land on a planet and mine for resources. What's the overarching goal?
EDIT: UGH! Just looked it up on Steam. $59.99?! No thanks. It's been on Steam for 6 days and it already has a solid "Mixed" rating. The future doesn't seem bright for this space cowboy.

I'm really not impressed. Was hoping for a game that'll last me years, even if I keep playing, momentum of the procedurally generated worlds will start to feel even more The Same than they already do.
It totally is just a 'fly to planet and mine resources' game.
There's space battles, which when I'm good enough to participate in, may add to the fun factor.
@corfaisus The goal is to get to the center of the universe - which is a roundabout way of saying the journey itself is the goal since you have no reason to go to the center of the universe other than it being cool.
It's a pretty chill game if you're not being murdered by tentacle monsters or getting burnt up in an atmosphere (or in a space fight but that's like, maximum stress and not something I'm going to do until I start getting bored >.<). BUT I think 60 dollars is way way WAY too much for what the game gives you even though I'm sure the developers did what they could and as much as I hesitate to say a game is overpriced because I don't like devaluing games. But, yes, overpriced it is.
Edit: Also, getting the PC version is actually a bad idea from what I've heard - it's a less stable version than the XBox version.

That's money i can use to buy a nes mini and i think the nes mini will have a lot more replay value.

Sixty dollars! :O
It was never going to live up to the hype. It was overhyped. Might as well cash in on the hype while you can and make off like bandits because people are going to be disappointed no matter what you do.

I've added the game to my wishlist just so that I can remind myself to stay up to date on all the discussion because it promises to be a fun romp.
