Wrong section, and I'd suggest you read up on a few things if you wanna get the full experience.

You should know better than buying a fourth rendition of a series you don't know and didn't like.

If you got annoyed by previous MGS games, what makes you think you'll like this one?

Watch the Metal Gear retrospectives on Gametrailers, they piece everything together in a clear concise manner

Man you're going to be extremely lost but hopefully the gameplay/graphics/story telling is good enough for you to enjoy it.

Watch the full playthroughs on youtube (with gameplay/codec/cutscenes) of the previous games , it will take a long time but that is a good way to experience the games without playing them.

There's also a guy on Youtube who uploaded videos of him playing through all the MGS games. He does everything. Every codec conversation, every little detail. It really watches like a movie and the quality's good. It's quite enjoyable.

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but yes they have made huge changes from the first MGS.

Go to Gamespot and/or Ebgames and tell them you pre-ordered the game , but did not get your disc MGS4 preview disc. My friend just went a couple days ago and it worked. The disc recaps the whole series with videos,screenshots, naration and also a pretty informative family tree. Oh yeah it has The MGS4 trailers on it also.

retrospective is the best option although they miss a lot of details that makes mgs great. but if you want a clear summary thats the way to go.
