mgs4; should I?

i have never played a mgs before and would like to play mgs4 (because of all the fuss, and it seems like Im missing out. Not to mention its a great game). so should i get mgs4 then play the series backwards? ie 4 then 3 then 2 then 1

MGS is heavily based on its story you need everything before you play mgs4

all ill say is i think kojima story arc is really good but the writing has always been bad in my opinion. also i hated mgs2 mgs3 is really good better gameplay in my opinion again then mgs4 but mgs4 overal is the best in the series. so if you do decide to play the others first don't let not liking one of them deter you from 4.

you could also see if any of the sag dvd are still out or watch the gt metal gear retrospective and then play mgs4

lol... come on... he doesn't really need to play the Sega Master System version of the game to enjoy it :P

start on metal gear solid... and if you think you can't handle a 10yr old game just read the story online... you should find a detailed explanation somewhere. Its like watching the last Lord of the Rings without watching the previous first

well, I haven't played through any of the other ones, but I am absolutely loving mgs4! I have logged about 10 hrs already. I know some people have beaten it and all that, but it's still a respectable amount of gameplay. I have been going through every route and am almost to the end of the second act.

To get started I watched the gametrailers.com retrospectives. There are five of them, each about 22 minutes. They helped fill in the back story, but to be honest, I probably wouldn't be able to follow everything leading up to 4 anyways. I am mainly a fps player, so story isn't exactly my main attraction. The gameplay is however, and that is top notch! I have been watching all of the cutscenes, and they are entertaining even though I don't know exactly what is going on. I also watched quite a few of them with my friend who has played them all, and he explained some things.

Basically I'm saying play the damn game! It truly is awesome!

technicallly you would start with 3, then go to PO, and then start with the original MG and play through your list to 4. if you want chronology, of course.
