[QUOTE="The_Pig_Hostage"][QUOTE="ShowStopper102"][QUOTE="The_Pig_Hostage"] [QUOTE="ShowStopper102"]Well then, 4/4 answers say it's MGS4. I guess I'm buying this game. roflcopter.ShowStopper102
Wow, you mean you haven't already? Have you played the previous MGS games?
Nope, which is part of the reason why I didn't buy this one. Some people said I wouldn't enjoy it. Or understand the story.
It's true that most of the story will go over your head if you haven't played the previous games, but you'll still enjoy it, I'm sure. However, you REALLY should play the previous games first. Not only are they great, but if you play MGS4 without having played those, you'll miss out on some of the emotional weight of the story.
If you're not willing to play the old ones though, you should definitely brief yourself on the story in some way. There's wikipedia, obviously, but Gametrailers.com actually has a very good video retrospective of the series.
See, I was thinking about playing them, I'd like to. But say for example MGS1, wouldn't that be on PS2? I have a 40GB PS3, with no backwards compatability, and no PS2, so I'm not sure how I would play it. But I think it would be smart like you suggested for me to get filled in on the story. I'll check out Gametrailers right now.
MGS1 is a PS1 game, so you can still play it on your 40gb. You really should at least play that one - I'd say it's referenced more than any other game in the series. Plus, it's pretty short, so it wouldn't take you long before getting to MGS4.
