Start with TPP, it's the only good one :)

it's a nice mix of stealth, action and story.
start with mgs if you are a normie or the mgs3 version of metal gear and metal gear 2 solid snake if you are based
you can skip portable ops
so:
mg>mg2>mgs>mgs2>mgs3>mgs4>pw>mgsv

It's definitely the most playable, and I think it has a lot do do with being able to use the mouse & kb. It feels like a proper game at last instead of fiddly ass gamepad mechanics.
The games appeal for me is the stealth emphasis, you can develop all kinds of weapons but they're a red herring, and the game punishes the shit out of you when you get spotted in later levels. Sheer sneekiness is always the most rewarding approach.

Story is pretty good, but mgs4 retconned a lot of stuff for fanservice.
this guide is pretty good, but when you get to mgs3 make sure it isn't the original release. It has camera issues. You'll know if its the right one if its from a remake or has some other nonsense name in the title.
theres a remake for mgs1 called the twin snakes, but i wouldn't play it over the original. it has a lot of different changes that arent exactly better.

Metal Gear Solid is like James Bond / Rambo versus the X-Men. There are straightforward and conventional solutions to most challenges and often some extremely outlandish and bizarre solutions. It does a good job of creating a universe where you accept the serious and silly aspects in equal measure.
Most people would recommend playing in release order (and rightfully so) but if you are really uncertain about commiting and just want a good sample of the series, play:
>MGS2 Tanker Chapter
and
>MGSV Ground Zeroes
Ground Zeroes is essentially a next-gen version of the Tanker in many ways, so you can compare earlier and later entries in the series.

it's the origin of cinematic cancer. imagine the average western moviegame except at least it has decent-ish japanese arcade gameplay to go with it. go play the first one (that's MGS on PS1, not the Gamecube remake, and not the MSX game) and see if you like it.
