Mad Max looks like it's going to be a terrible disappointment.
How come?BlackpoolRock said:
Interesting, They were my favourite ones particularly 3.
Sorry, think I got my numbers mixed up, 2 (the one with Raiden?) was pants, 3 was pretty decent and 4 I didn't like. I know long cut-scenes are an MGS staple but when you spend more time watching then playing then it's not for me. I think I finished 2 in about 3 hours actual gameplay (as opposed to the 10 hours of cut-scenes)Steve Evil said:
My copy arrived yesterday and it's a bit good. Not done much in the way of the story, just been doing side missions to build my staff roster so I can build some better gear. That and attaching balloons to every bit of animal life I see.
Did you get it from simply games?Robatr0n said:
I just can't decide whether to get this or not.
I have both MSG2 and MSG3 and enjoyed them both immensely. Would I have missed too much by not playing MSG4?
Is 4 the most recent chronologically?I have both MSG2 and MSG3 and enjoyed them both immensely. Would I have missed too much by not playing MSG4?
I never fully committed to playing the previous games if I'm honest, but I've watched a few Youtube videos that go over the whole story, background and characters.
It may be worth you watching one of those to catch up on the story bits you missed, but from most accounts you don't need any previous knowledge to be able to jump into this (though it helps)

MGS4 is my favourite! The cut scenes are long, but I enjoy them, and it pieces everything together, both story and gameplay, from the series. Also:I have both MSG2 and MSG3 and enjoyed them both immensely. Would I have missed too much by not playing MSG4?
You get to drive REX and fight RAY on Shadow Moses Island!

MGS3
MGS Ground zeroes
MGS5
MGS
MGS2
MGS4
So you don't need to have played the others, there will nods to the other games, but most of it plays out after the setting of 5.
