excluding 4 maybe

My brother got my the HD collection on PS3. What game do I play first? I'm disappointed they didn't at least include MGS1. I'll just play through the original MGS1 on the PS1.

There was absolutely no reason to include MGS1, you already have three games on one disc. People need to stop being greedy. It's literally 10 dollars to buy on the PSN so you can play it right from your PS3.

But yeah, if you're gonna replay all of them, go with MGS1 first. Then 2, then 3, then Peace Walker. That should kinda be obvious >_>

How is it being greedy? A collection of games implies it's a collection of games. Most logical people (at least I'd assume) would think since they included the 2 games on the NES and MGS2 as well as 3, they're obviously going to include MGS1. I wasn't even expecting a remake or anything.. I mean it's not as bad as Nintendo leaving out Super Mario World from their 25th anniversary game, but it's still pretty dumb.

Yeah I usually do.

Anyway, I'm not sure when I'll play through these. There's some other stuff I really want to play through first.

Only if it's your first time through. If you want to replay it later, who cares what order it's in?

Well I didn't really want any of the games in HD. I was satisfied with the originals. Are MGS2 and MGS3 Substance and Subsistence (or whatever)?

Well, if you're going to replay the series as a whole, then release order is still what makes sense.

If you just want to play one game in isolation, then do whatever you want.

Yeah with that said, I've played through MGS1 like 3 times, MGS2 probably 6 or 7 times and MGS3 like 4 times.

Nah, I've never been big on playing in "chronological" order.

But hey, if you want to do that, knock yourself out. I don't like it much though.

Peace Walker's great, my second favorite game in the series. It has all the production values of a numbered game, just on a portable system instead of a console. It's easy to see where the sacrifices were made, but it's also easy to see how it could have just as easily have been a console game. Not perfect, but it's the most gameplay-centric game in the series, Solid or otherwise.

MGS3 > PW = 1 > 2 > 4.

Chronological order makes sense if you're doing a replay. If you've already experienced the games before, there's nothing to be gained by playing through them in release order again, unless you just want the progression between each game to be more apparent.

Chronological order doesn't "add" much to a replay either. It's just personal preference.

Well then you needed to get the HD collection even more. MGS3 benefits a WHOLE lot from its Subsistence version. 3D camera alone makes it much better.

Yeah honestly I would have enjoyed TTS in HD, even though I didn't like it on the Gamecube because the lack of pressure sensitive buttons made it a chore.

3 -> PW -> 1 -> 2

If you don't play them in chronological order, you'll miss all the character development, obviously. It's like not watching the Star Wars Prequels first.

No, but seriously, go with the original, not TTS.

I didn't even play the original until after Subsistence came out. I'm nostalgia free!

The Twin Snakes is inferior.

I also didn't even play MGS1 until a few years ago, after playing two and three I believe. No nostalgia involved. It's just far superior to Twin Snakes.

I prefer Twin Snakes personally, but MGS4 and MGS3 are the tops, and hey how bout MGS2, MGS always groovin'.

Well, that's just not true. Peace Walker's cutscenes for one thing have lower production values than the main games, though I did enjoy them somewhat. Plus the codec was a lot less interesting and you couldn't call individual people during missions. I also found the gameplay and level design a lot less varied or interesting but thats more personal taste than production value I guess. Still a good game.
