Is the story good even if you haven't played any other MGS games?

    I've never played an MGS game. Will I be lost as to what is going on with the story? Or is everything pretty well explained?

    The story is quite complex, so I would recommend that you play the other MGS games first.

    I would play at least MGS1 and 2, otherwise you won't know enough about most of the characters to fully understand their significance in the story. MGS3 isn't mandatory, but it shows you where everything started, and the Subsistance version has the original two games as well.

    Nope, playing MGS4 without the others before would be the biggest mistake you can do.

    MGS4 is the big finale of the series where as good as EVERYTHING from MGS1, 2 and 3 comes together in a furious, awesome, well made and thought through finale.

    Ya, I'd say do the research because I recently went through MGS1 again, and boy is it tough to play. Totally different gaming generation. Either way, you owe it to yourself to play MGS4. MGS4 is a masterpiece of a video game. I'm a XBox fanboy, but I did buy a PS3 back in the day, just for this game. Absolutely amazing game.
