Nobody has said if it is or isn't cannon so I just count it until told otherwise.The plot is nonsense but amazing nonsense is so self aware of how plain ridiculous MGS is sometimes and takes the ever living ****** out of it.
As of now it's considered canon according to Konami: https://www.youtube....h?v=d7BTtiAQuZ0
Of course Kojima can do whatever he wants, so if he decides otherwise that'll be that.
Completed Guns of the Patriots today. As I expected, that was one more instructive and tragic story. In addition to that it was also a perfect bitter-sweet closure.
The main idea behind the story is an assumption about peace being unnatural state of human society, and how modern technologies may encourage and strengthen this assumption. War as a routine in society built around feeding the global war machine with rage of soldiers and suffering of civilians, and kept under full control by the system without face and soul. War, where everyone fight everyone in countless and completely pointless proxy wars. War as a job, sport, and a service, where most people are involved as employees, or victims... I think that in addition to being instructive and tragic, this story is also really scary, considering the modern realities, and how people can't stop participating the pointless barbaric violence even after became so advanced in terms of culture and technologies. The problem is not in the technologies of course. The problem is that many people are still too tied to the old ways, keeping all memories needed to hate and fight someone else. Technologies just make the fighting much easier to start and keep going, and so encourage the assumption I told about.
As for the game's execution - it's just perfect for the time of its release, as in case of any other MGS game I played.
...Wow, that was quite a ride, playing all these games in chronological order. Feels... Thoughts... Tears... This was like true real life experience. I can't judge the games separately, I just love them all as the parts of one Big Story. The only thing missing is the time between Ground Zeroes and Metal Gear Solid. Hopefully, Phantom Pain (as well, as possible add-ons for the game) will cover that time entirely, and the gap will disappear.
...Well, and I just couldn't avoid painting something relative to the series. Tried to make a concept of a metal gear 
It's interesting what will the devs do after they will finish creating The Phantom Pain and, possibly, some add-ons/DLSs for it. Will they try to expand the story even more somehow, or will they try to make a new IP? With The Phantom Pain release there will be nothing to add to the story, I think. And one more Revengeance, as well as a new non-canon game in MGS universe, would be a bad idea.
Kojima will maybe, possibly, do a remake of Metal Gear 1 & 2: Solid Snake. My most likely guess -- He might leave finally leave Metal Gear to work on a new IP, which I think is about time. Something he should have done a while ago.

Hmm... A remake of Metal Gear 1 and 2 can be made as one game. Devs can release The Phantom Pain, skip producing any DLCs or add-ons, and create the remake instead. And then move to the new IP. Probably, this is the best way to go.
I would love another rising. I adored that crazy game.
It's possible -- It wouldn't be out of the question to see cameos for a Young Snake and Liquid in Phantom Pain. Eli is most likely a Young Liquid judging from his bio, the quote "A man who curses his fate", plus his design, among many other things. I'd prefer Kojima finally move on from Metal Gear as well, which he should have done some time ago.Hmm... A remake of Metal Gear 1 and 2 can be made as one game.

I almost forgot what it's like to play on PC or even use a mouse, and I have no plans to remember that
I shall play the game on PS4. And I guess that MGS5 is my most anticipated game right now.
