I was, until I watched all the games (gameplay, cutscenes, everything) on youtube except I haven't finished MGS2, I was getting it the whole way thru until that big ol' "WTF" moment near the end.

mgs4 is apparently got new players in mind with flashbacks and backstory..so i wouldn't worry.

although you're missing AMAZING GAMES if you don't play the previous installments.

im right with u. I know its a kinda splintercell game but im assuming better than that since its got such a larger backing. The videos look aweome, the gameplay footage kinda confuses me a little because it doesnt look fun but im a bad judge of games by videos, i thought CoD4 would stink, how wrong was i? lol

I think you should get it bro, the MGS games are really sweet and you'll be missing out, the reason the game has so many fans is because it's REALLY good. I was a little sceptical at first too but when I first played MGS2 I was blown away, then I played 3 and like it even more and now I'm totally psyched about 4, if you just read up on the story from the previous games you won't have to worry about anything, plus MGS4 will have flashbacks and give new players backing and info on the story from previous games so you won't be lost story-wise plus the gameplay is really sweet.

I played a few hours into MGS2, and I really had no clue what was so great. Before anyone hammers me, I will say I know the game is long. So 2 hours is nothing. But I really didn't have an idea what was going on in the first boss battle. I think I would try MGS3 before I played any of the other games. It looks cooler.

Thats ok I gamed for about 30 years or so. And when DMC4 came out, that was my first DMC.



The game will have a backflash button. Wen you get to a meaningful point of the game. Which is like every other second in a MG game. Their will be a chance to look at how that related to what, threw seeing how it actually happened in the old games on screen.

I'm like you on this one, I only played the Twin Snakes one on GC. Only for a little bit, I understand a little, but not alot.

I'll be picking this one up because I know it's going to look kickass, I can't wait.

Yes, but I would recommend playing MGS: Twin Snakes which is the first remade on the gamecube. Then get MGS2: Substance for PS2. And then play MGS3: Subsistance for PS2. 3 is by far my favorite.

I've played a tiny bit of Subsistence and hated it. I'm still buying MGS4 though, since it looks freakin' awesome..
