If I were to theoretically buy this collection, what is the order I should play them in? I already bought MGS1 on psn, and have barely touched it. Should I play the Nes games 1st then MGS 1-3 and then Peace Walker? Also, my friend told me to play MGS3 before 1, but I felt like that would be too weird. Should I buy MGS4 and play that before peace walker?Plz help. :(

Edit: Does every game in the collection have trophies? Even the Nes games?

MGS3 -> MGSPW -> MG1 -> MG2 -> MGS1 -> MGS2 -> MGS4

That's the chronological order, and no I don't think the NES games have trophies, the 3 main games in the collection do.

I knew MGS3 was a prequel(at least if my friend can be trusted), but is it more entertaining in your opinion to play them in that order? If I finish MGS1, will I feel more attached to snake and therefore his backstory or whatever the heck MGS3 is about will be more entertaining to me? What is the best way to play them, not the order in the universe.

I think you can't go wrong either way. I've played them in both orders at different times, enjoyed them about the same. The only thing you have to consider is if you will mind playing older games after playing more recent titles. You hopefully wont lose some interest in playing MGS1 after playing MGS3. My personal suggestion would be to play them in release order.

MG1 -> MG2 -> MGS1 -> MGS2 -> MGS3 -> MGS4 - MGSPW

I know it's probably a tough decision to make but either way you are making a great decision in playing these games!
