which one is best to start with before MGS4, the supposedly huge AAA game thats coming later.

That's almost as bad as having a 360 and never playing Halo.

Since that's the only reason for it's exhistence.

(omg butchered that word)

First of all. PS brand does not have a mascot. So to say you have to know MGS series to have one is totally wrong. This is not Halo...There are other plenty of games of many kinds of genre on the PS brand. If you find that the games are not to your liking, I suggest a Wii or a Xbox360.

Ok get MGS3 : Subsistence and play MG1 and MG2 on disc 2 (but thatMs kinda optionnal since these games haven't aged too well)

Then the best thing to do is to play them in order IMO. MGS1, MGS2, MGS3 Subsistance

Yeah definetly play them in order cuz in MGS4 they will probably throw in some interesting plot twists that make references to previous games and it's always good to know what's goin on.

Really, you like the second one most? It wasnt bad, the third is the best. I like it so much, i dont think MGS4 will surpass it storywise. MGS3 was really genious.

IMO, get a Gamecube and play Twin Snakes, is a remake of the original MGS which is the best of the series by far.
