Release Order or Chronological Order?

[Aragorn]

Release order. Consuming any media in chronological order is stupid in my opinion because these are still games/movies/books made by people and the choices made in a prequel are informed by the preceeding work. MGS3 makes far less sense for why it's made that way it's made if you don't play MGS2, for example. Playing MGS4 after MGS2 makes little sense because it's a follow up to 3 more than it is to 2.
