Acid is noncanon though, and Portable Ops wasn't made by Kojima.  As far as I was able to tell really quickly.

Never heard of Ghost Babel 

Portable Ops was made by Kojima.

[Putnam]

He was a producer, but it was directed by Masahiro Yamamoto.

There is a wonderful LP of Ghost Babel by The Dark Id here, if anyone's interested. http://lparchive.org/Metal-Gear-Ghost-Babel/

Does anyone know how accurate his transcriptions of the dialogue are?  Because they sound like at least half, possibly all of the lines are made up but, this series being what it is, I'm not going to assume anything.

I am starting to think Metal Gear functions SLIGHTLY on a "If you unlock the first person with that skill, others will start popping up"

As well... I think my Heroism score seems to affect everyone's rankings... Given that even when I play old missions I am still finding plenty of As.

I think all the lines that are like this are made up.

Yeah heroism directly effects soldier stats it makes sense of listen to the tapes and the PMCs, and I think the skill thing is so you have better states versions of that skill so you can safely replace those characters.

Twin Snakes apparently gets a bad rap for whatever reason,

I honestly have no idea why. To me, it's actually better than the original. It's literally just MGS1 remade in the MGS2 engine with over-the-top cutscenes and gratuitous jet noises. What's not to like? The only thing I have a problem with is some wonky control issues as Metal Gear Solid is not meant to be played on a Gamecube controller.

Isn't

just MGS2?

[Akura]

Given the plot of MGS2, that's not far off the mark.

Is The Phantom Pain worth $60 or should I wait?  I've never played a true MGS game although I've watched some of them and played Rising (which is... well it shares the universe I guess).

[Donuts]

ARGH, SO MANY GERBILS! I just want my goddamn snakes and tiny fuzzy animals, instead I get GERBILS OVER AND OVER! 99% completion, and all that's standing between me and the 100% is a bunch of goddamn rodents.

It very much is.
People have said it gets a little stale after a certain point but it's totally worth the main story missions.

[Radio Controlled]

It is totally worth it IMHO. And there's real multiplayer coming on top of it! In terms of minutes of entertainment per money unit, it does really well.

[Neonivek]

Ok... Rocket Fist is absolutely ridiculous.

You would THINK such a weapon would be noisy or at least the projectile itself would be but NOPE!!! it is probably the greatest stealth weapon in the game because it is absolutely silent. The only part of it that makes a noise is if you ram it into an object or the ground (it doesn't make a sound if it hits a person either), yet even if you do ram it into the ground it makes an excellent distraction.

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

It also has regenerating ammo, though the aiming is a bit picky with the keyboard.
Of course, there's the low stun time, but that's a fine tradeoff for a stun fist which you'll never use.
