This isn't required tbh

It's always a bit preferable to play in release order but tbh 3 is a perfectly valid entry point

As a player, you would have no fucking clue who any of the characters are. Ocelot? The Patriots? You would miss the Colonel's entire AI speech at the end of MGS2. You would miss the entire introduction of Snake and Big Boss from MGS1.

You'd have no clue what is going on and then you would go on to play MGS1 and 2 and it spoils the entire plot of MGS2.

It's still a super-prequel, being introduced to Ocelot in MGS3 is no different than being introduced to Snake in MGS instead of MG1...

You kinda forgot a game in there. MGS2? Where he's the main antagonist and gives a 20 minute plotdump at the end?

mgs1 story was structured in full knowledge 99% of the players wouldn't know about mg1 or mg2

not sure if the same could be said of mgs3.

TBH, besides the Raiden jokes, I don't think it's much different than people seeing 'Cyborg Ninja' for the first time in MGS1

The issue with the Patriots is resolved for new players because at that point it's still known as the Philosophers

Eh. I played both versions and prefered the free roam camera personally.

My biggest complaint was having to change camo every 5 seconds to blend in, found that annoying.

That's just not true tbh. If anything, the game suffers with the old MGS1/2 camera due to the lack of a radar and enemies being smarter/having much more line of sight. The free-roam camera is fantastic.

I agree. It would have sucked in 1 or 2, but I liked it better for 3.

I hated MGS3 the first time I played it. Then, as I was fighting the final boss, I reflected on all that had lead up to that point, and in retrospect I realized it had actually been one of the best gaming experiences of my life.

I recently played through it again on expert and Took the time to appreciate every detail this time, and now I am of the opinion that it's the best game I've ever played.
