Kinda sad...

I have own a ps2 and a ps3 but I didnt play many games on them (wasnt a huge gamer), and it seems I have missed out on a lot, I basicly only played s1 and s2, and Prince of Persia.

But now that im getting more into gaming, I have come to realize how many awesome games I have missed, to tell you the truth I never even really heard of MGS before last year, and it looks great but do you think I will be totaly lost with the story line when number 4 comes out?

I know the generic answer will be get the ps2 ones, but I really dont have any intrest to, I mean, I just got a ps3, all the free time i got to play games, gos into games I rent for that.

So tell me, is it absolutly nessisary for me to play a select few or does Kojami (i think thats what there called), do i good job of catching ppl up who are new to the series?

Thanks

Ya I am sure you could just wiki it as other people said...but also as said you are cheating yourself a bit...If you are interested in the story too you could read a walkthrough that will give you a pretty good idea, or get the games (they are cheap) and just use cheats or a walkthrough to quickly beat the game. Its not like playing through the original games is that much of a hassle, they are great games.

I am sure you could play MGS4 not having played the others just enjoying the gameplay, the story though would probably confuse you and you wouldnt get the full experience of a kojima game, as the story makes up such a big part of it.

Well, if you want to understand the story MGS better, then you will have to spare more time for it. I would really advice you to play the games... A richer experience than just reading about it.

ok, then pick out some ps2 ones that i need to play.

thank you
