I wish I were you OP. I wish I can just erase my entire knowledge of the MGS series and start from scrath and experience the magic from scratch.
On a side note: I still think MGS1 is the best in the series. One cannot forget his first time playing MGS1 14 years ago.
I cried all the way throughout MGS4's act 4.
