I still stand by my answer. MGS3 is my favorite of the series and it's not integral to the plots of 1, 2 and 4. Sure, EVA makes an appearance in 4, but not knowing who she is does nothing to diminish her impact.
So, is MGS5 necessary? Hell no! But, I'll still be buying it when it releases because the series is always fresh, fun, invigorating and highly enjoyable.

Since I really didn't answer in the main thread and I didn't feel like throwing my numbers off, I guess it's time for me to really answer.
No, MGS5 is not necessary.
Is it welcome? Yes. However I don't see any real reason for the game to be made over another one from the studios. Kojima's teams can easily move on to another project like Rising, or they could create something unique like they did with Policenauts. This project has no real place in the continuity that will act as a true conclusion to what we've seen so far.
The genre itself has adopted more action based games like Arkham City or Assassin's Creed. The gameplay could change to an FPS and I think people could be satisfied so I don't think it's doing anybody any favors where it's at. There are other games on the market right now that can take the place of Metal Gear.
The story doesn't matter as there are many different stories that could get made with Kojima on other projects.
In short, MGS5 is not needed. I want a unique Kojima game and that doesn't mean it has to be tied to the Metal Gear Solid franchise.
