Should I buy MGS4 if I haven't played MGS1-3 in a long time and remember very little about them? Also, I don't have them anymore to replay...

Why not?

If you're interested, I see no reason to skip one of the best games in many years.

I just know how in-depth the story is, and I don't want to play 10 hours of a game and have no idea what just happened.

You can download the MGS database from the store and you will be fine, or go to gamestrailer and look for mgs retrospective video which explain the event that happened from start before MGS4 events.

I hadnt played any previous titles except MetalGear on nintendo back in the day and had no problems with the story. Honestly, I felt I might not of enjoyed it as much if I had played previous titles, Alot of things suprised me and absolutly amazed me. Not going to go into detail but I would reccomend this to anyone, reguardless of having played previous games in the series or not.

YES!!! Metal Gear Solid 4 is a must-buy! Just read the entire storyline before beginning with MGS4 (use Wikipedia for example), makes it easier to understand.

if you are ever confused about the previous games of Metal Gear, I suggest heading over to Gametrailers.com for their great retrospectives. Should you buy MGS4? If I had to choose one game on Earth........ so yeah.

MGS4 was my first in the series also. What a game! Everything about is first rate. There is a learning curve to it, it is a challenging game, but well worth the experience once you get the hang of it. Just a great game.

You can download the MGS Database, or you can buy the MGS Essentials collection for $30.

Listen, It's been rated 10/10... That says it all, however do what I'm doing, wait till it's older like in 2-3 months buy it used, it's not worth it full price when your not a fan of the series...
