The Metal Gear series is interconnected to a high degree. Sure the games are perfectly playable without playing the previous games, but you’d miss a lot of plot points. Like for example even the PSP games are pretty vital to the story. Because several characters of Peace Walker show up in MGS5 without much explanation of who they are.
Would you need to go all the way back and play the original Metal Gear or is Metal Gear Solid a decent starting point?
Solid is a decent starting point. I think the only notable recurring character is Grey Fox, which could get you confused, and that's it.
