@BranKetra: Birth By Sleep and Dream Drop Distance did a much better job at finding the balance.

Post this in the Game Remembrance 2.0 thread on top of this board... and please don't bump a thread after only 14 minutes.
Eh... I'm hoping my underwhelmment (I know, I know) is because it's a work-in-progress, but I wasn't that impressed by what I saw. Maybe it's because they chose the bad Twilight Town music for the trailer.
Apology accepted, Square. Final Mix 10 years later, II Final Mix 8 years later, and BBS Final Mix 3 years later.
i am new here.killjoyswaggerWord to the wise: read around and get a feel for a place before you post in it.
Sure thing. The hardest part when recommending the order for others to play them is that there are spoilers, one way or another. For example, if you start with MGS3 since it's chronologically first, [spoiler] The fact that the Snake you are playing as not only loses his eye along the way but gets the title of Big Boss serve as surprising/meaningful plot points, while for those who played the other games first, you were simply wondering when those things would happen. [/spoiler] Similarly, if you play MGS4 before Peace Walker, [spoiler] You'll know that Big Boss and Zero are at odds, because you find out in MGS4 that their falling out is what led to the conflicts of all of the other Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid games that came before. In Peace Walker, you can guess that something happened between PW and Portable Ops, but the animosity isn't so great on Zero's end that he won't offer Big Boss the chance to rejoin him in his efforts. [/spoiler] What I tell people is to play them in the order they came out the first time around, but on replays, play them in order.Thank you. I have played most of them but haven't played a couple. So thanks for helping me out.

Yeah, stupid typo. >_>Isn't MGS3 1964? Thought the idea that each of the games in the Big Boss game took place exactly 10 years apart. '64, '74, '84.
