Have to disagree there. 2 and 3 had pretty solid storylines and 1 was pretty basic but broke down the boundaries between video games and cinema. 4 was a bit of a mishmash to try to tie up all the loose ends and 5 was ultimately completely unnecessary. It should be noted that Kojima was pushed into all of them after the first MGS. I still think the storyline from 3 is one of the best in any video game.

The stories have always been a bit of a mess, like they had a list of words they wanted to get in somehow and made it up as it went along. E.g. Shagohod. MGSV just takes this to a new level.
Really fun game though, don't bother trying to be too stealthy on the first play through because there's load of shenanigans to be had with explosives.
