@flameon12346 @KinoDaKonqueror @Dredcrumb9 Jumping from Rising to the main series can be quite a shock, as the gameplay is drastically different. Main MGS plays more into stealth element and you're actively discouraged to get spotted, MUCH less trying to Rambo your way out (except during scripted level, MGS4, or playing on <Normal diff); You're dead before you realized it.
If you like the wacky storyline AND has a lot of patience to analyze and took different approach than you usually did, then try the main series (like above commenter, MGS3 and Peace Walker if you're only interested in Big Boss story) otherwise steer clear and save us another useless raging over the gameplay.
@DevilArK1993 @PS4Lives There are some variations, what i hear is that it all started when Inafune had a spat with how Capcom (in general) handles the franchise. Then, when he was tired with all the game designing shenanigans (ironic, i know) he offered to stick till they've finished Megaman Legend 3 which Capcom refused to. That was the last straw and here we are now.
