There's like 12 dudes named snake and one of them has an arm that is also his brother.

The games basically made hack writing famous.

Your kirby facepalm is about all that needs to be said about this series' writing. The first MGS got kinda weird with the possessed hand (Ash with a chainsaw anyone?) and Psychomantis. But as the series went on it just got worse and worse.

Even though I know the whole story, actually reading it gives me a huge migraine. Hideo Kojima has to be some kind of insane genius because he made a storyline that puts most anime to shame, is so convoluted that it could break a person's sanity trying to tie everything up neatly and yet is compelling enough to keep us coming back OVER 9 games (more if you include the VR missions which was awesome but had nothing to do with the storyline... I think). I'm pretty sure I'm right about the number of canon games, but my head is spinny from trying to fit them all together.
Hideo, sir... thank you and also fuck you, but in the nicest way possible. You actually succeeded in getting me to enjoy a migraine. That is no small feat... and also #FucKonami, go make new games for yourself if you want to stay in the business Hideo. I'm quite sure you have enough of a fanbase that you could toss together a tech demo of some batshit insanity-driven story and people would Kickstart the shit out of it. FucKonami, again for good measure.

I'm not going to explain the entire story, instead i will ask that you play through the series and find out for yourself :p.
I will however "explain" Metal Gear, it is a cool spy action game series, with cool spy action stuff in it, but story wise that is selling it extremely short.

Even though the question's already been answered, the opportunity to post this is just too perfect.
