Do I have to play MGS4 before 5?

No, you don't have to play Metal Gear Solid 4 (MGS4) before Metal Gear Solid V (MGSV) because MGSV is a prequel, chronologically set before MGS4, focusing on Big Boss's story. However, MGS4 wraps up the overall Solid Snake saga, and playing MGS3 and Peace Walker (which lead into MGSV) first provides crucial lore for MGSV's story and character connections, with MGS4 being the ultimate conclusion to the franchise's main narrative.

Raiden's perceived femininity stems from his androgynous, "bishōnen" (pretty boy) design in Metal Gear Solid 2, intentionally created by Hideo Kojima to appeal to female players tired of grizzled male heroes, featuring soft facial features, white hair, and later, high-heeled cybernetic feet, though this clashed with some Western fans' macho expectations, while his later cyborg form in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance emphasized fluid, almost feminine agility despite being a killer.
