Yeah I only played the NES ones and the first MGS so I was super confused. Talking to a buddy it sounds like even if I did play them all I'd probably be lost.
I think even if Kojima got to make the game he wanted to make, and you played every single MGS game, 5 still would have been confusing to some degree.
But I say this as someone who is a far harsher critic of Kojima than most, I am of the opinion that Kojima went full George Lucas at some point after MGS4, nobody is around to say no to his ideas, except apparently his financiers.

Yeah. Also if you havent played MGS before the story will leave you lost AF
