I've never played Metal Gear Solid before and everyone says that MGS4 on the PS3 is by far the best game they've ever played/seen. So I really wanted to get into MGS so I can experience MGS4, so I bought a used copy of Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collections, it contains MGS, MGS 2 substance, and MGS 3 substinence.
So I just finished MGS the first one (great game), and I go to open MGS 2 and theres a disk of MGS3 in it....so I open the box for MGS 3 and theres another MGS 3 game disk in it, so now I have two MGS 3 games...(don't you love used games).
So anyway I plan on buying MGS2 on ebay, but that'll take like 2 or 3 weeks to get here and I was wondering if it'd ruined the story in any way if I play MGS 3 before I play MGS 2, because I've noticed that MGS 3 takes place in 1965, and MGS 2 takes place two years after MGS 1, in 2007 so it seems like it wouldn't really matter if I play MGS3? would it?
Also I'm really big on the story but desprate to play another Metal Gear Solid game and I don't have the patience to wait for the MGS2 to come in from ebay, and I kinda just want to crack open MGS3.
No Spoilers please!
