lol....I would recommend playing Essential Collection things first as the STORY has dragged me in and along with the nice gameplay & wow factor of what amazing thing will you see next has kept me going for 6 hours.

So get MGS4 even next year if you need (after playing essentials) to as I feel, you will feel feel MGS4 is a brilliant game, just like COD4 is a brilliant shooter and so on, but you won't appreciate the story which is like the icing on the cake.

 

From a story point so far, MGS1 and MGS2 would be nice before playing 4.  But from a gameplay point of view, HELL NO.  Jumping from MGS1 to MGS4 would be like playing to two different almost unrelated games.  So much has changed from MGS1 that you would get frustrasted fast in 4.  Not saying that game mechinacs are not good in both games but I feel like that they almost at two different end of the spectra.  The one thing that seems to have carry over is the crawl function.  MGS1 = Quick and easy to pick up game controls.  MGS4 = Oh my god, where the hell is the manual for this thing.

 OT, from the sound, cinematic,, and presentation, it is the best I have ever seen.  But this so far for me, the story is about to be another "Kojima rant" classic.  Sigh, I guess I can deal with getting lectured to, if it mean I can get to the crux of the story.  It would have been nice if he used some tricks from Uncharted, COD4, and Bioshock though to keep game flow going though.
