Will I get the story of this game if I haven't played the previous ones?
It's honestly the only Metal Gear game that interests me.

Yes it's self contained. Basically a retelling of MGS1. Possibly better.

Yes you will. Its a 'what if' version of mgs1, you could read up on mg1/mg2 if you wished.

This is the pinnacle of retro game design. They pulled every drop of processing from the GBC to make this.

You won't be too lost but I'd recommend playing metal gear 1 and 2 (especially 2 since it's really good) beforehand.

Because it's the most obscure and therefore provides the most effective feeling of superior discernment; srsly do you even /vr/

Any version of MGS3 released in the last decade will have them but you probably don't want to invest in that kind of thing, so emulation is a good bet

they already exist, snatcher and policenauts.

You'll understand a few things better, like how Campbell and Snake know each other, but there's nothing you'll be confused by. The PS1 version is mostly self-contained, too, but you will have to play it to understand 2, 4 and 5.

The only connection between them is namesakes, some cameos/similarities, and the abundance of mullets.

From my point of view if you graduate from being an EOP, you also graduate from being a simple "weeb".
