You could play every single MGS game in order five times and still have no bloody idea what's going on, so I wouldn't worry about the plot too much.
this is....not true at all. MGS2 is a bit confusing (on purpose), MGS4 is a bit convoluted (more so because it over-explains everything), but the core storyline is not very complicated at all.
playing GZ first won't spoil a whole heck of a lot, but having some background and context would be best. at the very least play MGS3 and PW and/or watch the cutscenes before TPP hits
