You definitely want to play the others first, and I'd recommend the series order (from 1 to 4) rather than the story chronology order (3 first, then 1,2,4), at least for your first time through. <BR/><BR/>This way you'll get the story in the manner originally presented and the gameplay refinements in a logical order. <BR/><BR/>Playing the series through using the story chronology (3 first, then 1,2,4) is interesting, but you'll miss the interesting references in 3 if you play it not having experienced the first 2.<BR/><BR/>It sounds like a lot to plow through, but each game holds up really well, and they only range between 15 and 20 or so hours each, so all together the entire series requires the same time investment as your typical JRPG (or 1-37 on a job in FFXI, lol).Count Elmdorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07774075985647158998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1184181952626005640.post-84443872591278532192008-06-26T20:52:00.000-07:002008-06-26T20:52:00.000-07:00Cool.

And wtf, there were four of 'em just sitting on the shelf. I could hardly believe it. <BR/><BR/>Being the greedy bastard I am, I had to pull out the plastic and buy one! <BR/><BR/>Now I'm wondering if I should play MGS4 first or start the whole series properly. Any opinions?Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04152124125946055390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1184181952626005640.post-74763759105880652762008-06-26T12:19:00.000-07:002008-06-26T12:19:00.000-07:00lol.

You'll have to go back and play everything all over again, now.<BR/><BR/>I've been too busy the last couple of days to play anything but some DS on the train to and from work. I'm getting close to finishing the main quest in Etrian Odyssey, but after that there's still the post-game sixth stratum (5 floors) left to map out, and some extra hard bosses in there.Count Elmdorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07774075985647158998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1184181952626005640.post-31927386991641856602008-06-25T21:03:00.000-07:002008-06-25T21:03:00.000-07:00Whoops!

I have been playing a little of Buku Sudoku and then slowly working my way back into Act 4 on Gears of War.<BR/><BR/>The last Metal Gear game I played was the original NES version!
