Sigh, here we go again...how many times more do I have to do this? Alright, I'll repeat it once more, then (and I'll do it each and every time, until you finally stop on being absolutely uneducated, completely inexperienced, utterly ignorant and extremely arrogant scrubs): there is no Solid, it's not David's ark, it's solely John's story. Konami 'dun goofed it all up big-time when they've added the "Solid" part to A LINE OF FRIGGIN' PREQUELS TO ACTUAL METAL GEAR AND SOLID. ALL of the prequel games are purely John's ark and stories, they have abso-effing-lutely nothing to do with David and thus Solid. They're NOT Solids, because there's no Solid anywhere in any of these. Just because a company fucked up massively by adding that word to the game's main title, does NOT necessarily make it a part of that line of games, it's a different line. There are two main arks - John's (Big Boss) story and David's (Solid Snake) story. ALL of the John's games should be called WITHOUT numbers and without "Solid", this is THE ONLY truly legitimate and absolutely right way to name them. Metal Gear Snake Eater Subsistence, Metal Gear Portable Ops, Metal Gear Peace Waker, Metal Gear Ground Zeroes/Phantom Pain. These are ALL prequel stories and solely Big Boss' endeavors, they have absolutely nothing to do with David the Solid Snake. ALL of the David's stories however, with just the exception of the very first two games, are THE stories about Solid Snake, about David, they are HIS stories and not anyone else, and thus they're Solid. Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2 - Solid Snake, Metal Gear 3 - Solid Integral, Metal Gear 4 - Sons of Liberty Substance, Metal Gear 5 - Guns of Patriots. Both AC!D games don't count, nor does Rising Revengeance, because these are completely uncanon "fanfic"-like tales. Especially Rising Revengeance - it was made only (and ONLY) because Kojima made a promise to a little girl who asked for him to do one more game with Raiden. That is ALL it is, nothing less or more than just THAT. Rising Revengeance is a 100% uncanon fanfic based on one particular little girl's request. It's a FACT. I never ever said anywhere that "Snake Eater doesn't exist". It friggin' obviously does. All I'm just saying to your think arrogant skulls all the time is that it shouldn't be called a "Solid" game, because there's NOTHING "Solid" in it. All "Big Boss"-related games are a series sequels that happen before Metal Gear, before very first introduction to David "Solid Snake", There's nothing "Solid" in any of the Big Boss' stories, because Snake's not there. What's so hard to understand and memorize about this? Konami simply made a mistake with naming scheme, and decided to ride along with it, but it does NOT make it right just because they didn't fix this and everyone else took the bait. It's EXACTLY the same kind of a situation like with the late "Persona" games, which been STUPIDLY dubbed as "Shin Megami Tensei" games while NOT having anything to do with actual SMT line AT-EFFING-ALL! It's just a one big, massive, nasty naming SCREW-UP by the bigwigs of major video game developing studios! And me being a truly hardcore and absolutely sophisticated gamer with tons of actual experience behind my shoulders - I simply REFUSE to go with this flow of crappy BS that everyone's been taking into their heads lately! I have my own opinion and vision on all of this. If you don't like it - you don't like it. But don't imply or say things for me which I've never said. I never denied Snake Eater's existence, all I did is refuse to call it a "Solid" game, because IT'S NOT a "Solid" game in any way whatsoever at all. I'll keep on standing solidly with my points.
