Should I get Metal Gear Solid 4....?

I have owned a PS3 for a while, but have yet to play MGS4. The reason for this is that I wanted to play the previous 3 before playing 4.

However, I have watched complete walkthroughs of 1 and 2 online, and have read the plot sequence for 3 a few times as well.

So, I ask...should I go ahead and get 4? Or do I need to go out, buy a PS2, and play the previous 3?

The story is very confusing, if you want to get into the MGS series and understand exactly whats going on, then I would say go back and play the other ones first but if you just want to have fun with it I would get it. Its an amazing game and you dont NEED to have played the other ones to have fun with it but it helps.

Its by FAR the best game I've played this gen.

If you like games, yes.

It's an amazing game.

I would buy it, if I was you.

Rent it and decide for yourself. :|

You don't have to have played the previous iteration of the series to enjoy the game, I sure didn't.

You need to get the MGS:Essential Collection. You must experience the awesome power of Snake Eater first hand!

And until you know the Snake Eatersong you shall never be allowed to play MGS 4!:evil:

If you can get yours hands on the previous three, I would say go for it and play them so you can learn the sophisticated story behind the series. And i would say yes definately buy mgs4 its one hell of an experience/game. MGS4 will tell you the story but it will be confusing. You can always google the game or wikipedia it.

it should be considered a crime to have the ability to play MGS4

and not play it

yes you should get it (this coming from someone who hasnt even played it)

its the first game im getting

THIS^ If you like to play a very good stealth/action shooter with superior story & creative enemy designs...you just cant go wrong with MGS4.

There are people who still dont own this game?

I dont understand not playing dis beautiful game

You wouldn't really NEED to play three, but if you didn't play Snake Eater you would be missing out on a great game. The gameplay is similar to that of one and two. If you want to watch a walkthrough for any metal gear solid I reccommend vash12349. He's one of the funniest men giving walkthroughs on youtube in my opinion.
