I have not kept up with the entire MGS series unfortunatly. Will I still be able to play MGS4 and have fun or have I missed too much story?

Eh just watch a retrospective or two and you'll be fine. You don't even need to know everything to enjoy MGS4, but getting the jist of what's going on certainly helps.

Yes it does an excellent job of filling you in. Also the retrospective on www.gametrailers.com does a great job of giving you the back story.

If you want you can also get The Essential Collection for $30. But you can do what I did and read up the stories on Wikipedia. To answer your question though, for sure get it. It is definately one of my favorite games of all time and well worth the money.

If you have the time and money, you should get the Essentials collection before diving into MGS4. At the very least you should watch the retrospectives on Gametrailers.

Why can't anyone use the MGS4 sticky? The mods' mouse hands must be sore from locking so many useless threads.

Get the game if you want to get it.

Its one of the main reasons to have a ps3 so yes you should get it even if you don't play it haha. But once you pop it in you will want to play it.

people dont use the stickies because 99 percent of the time their questions are ignored in the giganto threads they become. and he is asking because the forum is here for that. if you don't feel like answering his question then it is useless to even post here.

Why can't anyone use the MGS4 sticky? The mods' mouse hands must be sore from locking so many useless threads.

Get the game if you want to get it.

Also, OP, you will still enjoy the game but i strongly recommend catching up on the basis of the story you will enjoy it a lot more if you know whats going on.

I'm probably one of maybe a few, but I wasn't really overly impressed with MGS4. Yes, the game looks absolutely fabulous, but the game play controls and online play leave a lot to be desired. I myself, would say to rent the game for sure and see if you like it before you buy it.
