Finish MGS 3 before I play MGS PO?

I have been in love with the MGS games since the first one on PS1, even buying twin snakes to play it again. The second one was one of my favorites with the exception of raiden, i have gotten 100% dogtags on 3 levels settings and still love the game. I bought MGS 3 as soon as it came out but for some reason had a hard time getting into it, as much fun as it was. I never completed the story line, quitting when i got to the large base.

It's my understanding that PO takes place after MGS 3. My only question is should i complete MGS 3 before i buy and play MGS PO, will it ruin the story line?

jell yes you should, you need to see the end to get to understand better big boss, and thats what MPO is all about,  to continue his story to show us how he became a terrorist leaderTlahui

Ahh thanks, i never did uncover much of the storyline for 3 but figured we were playin as big boss. So MPO is still big boss? This sounds good, ill have to beat 3 then.

So i guess the most logical order to play these games is MGS 3, MGSPO, MGS 1/Twin Snakes, MGS 2, then the new one comin out for ps3?

I forgot about the NES version, i bought it at slackers a year ago, loved it. Very dissapointed they never brought the true sequel to north america. What is cool is both the origional MG and MG2 are both on MGS 3: subsistence. Now im thinking of trading in my normal copy of MGS3 for subsistence to get some old school snake gaming..

And to GC4ever, yes it's dumb. After i wrote this i thought, i like this series so much it's stupid not to beat 3.

Yes, PO will spoil things for you if you haven't beat MGS3.

Beat MGS3 then beat MGS PO

Short and to the point.

Thanks everyone for the advice and info. I need to pick up a copy of subsistence because, yes i was playing snake eater and the camera did get on my nerves.Plus the two original Metal Gear games from the MSX are a great bonus on the subsistence copy.

MGS3 = 1964

MGSPO= 1970.

'Nuff said.

Wait a minute........If you love MGS so much then why haven't you finished it yet? Kuruption84

you might get lost if you didnt play 3.

if you dont have the time to do so, you can read a plot summary of it on wikipedia.

First of all i dont smell. Second who here owns the original metal gear for the NES? Love that game, thats a true fan. But to be honest im not sure why i really quit. 3 didn't hold me as much as MGS or MGS2. Maybei was expecting too much from it, maybe i didnt like the jungle over the industrial aspect of 2. Not real sure whyi gave up, i was doing great in it too.

But i started a new game in it and have put in a few hours. I still have my old save game on it, sucks because i don't remember the story up to that point.

Yep. And in my opinion, MGS3 was the best of all of them. The ending was so moving it's unbelievable. It kicks you on the nuts, spits on your face and steals your fancy car.
