THREAD REVIVAL TIME

Seriously, less than two weeks from release; anyone as excited as I am?

Hmm... as far as those cutscenes go, I'd have no problem watching it; I hope he does it actually, to prevent rushing the entire series to a crappy ending.

 

[Professor Pro]

Seems like the game is too good. I havent got PS3 yet but I am from the UK which means it will come late so I have plenty time

 

[Viroxor]

PS3 exclusive, what a waste. Maybe they'll do like the original and make a better version on the Nintendo system next generation.

Anyhow, this game looks cool. It makes me so sad that I can't get it.

 

[Chill]

I forgot this room existed. I'm more then likely going to get MGS4. I tried to resist the hype but I failed. MGO just made me want it even more.

 

[Machspeed]

Just two more days, (well, one for me).

Anyone else going to the midnight release?

 

[Autydragoon]

Ya it looks really nice. Graphics are clean and crisp. Oh Yeah!

 

[Chief Mendez]

There's something that's been bothering me lately, and hopefully it's not just me: Don de la Fontaine narrating the TV spot for MGS4 does not fit the game at all. "Courage is solid" my ***.

And another minor quibble--where's my rockin' Yoji Shinkawa art?

 

[IWontGetOverTheDam]

Do you guys think I'll be able to play this and understand it, having never played a single Metal Gear game before?

 

[ShaolinAce]

Maybe^ I've only played 3 myself. And I loved it. Solid Snake heck ya. We got some MGS4 trohpy's now we'll play the game.

If you're interested in the whole plot, there's good reading material here:

http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/Metal_Gear_Wiki

Also, the MGS games were re-released for PS2, and it doesn't seem too expensive

3 wasn't Solid Snake it was Big Boss.

I'm considering buying a PS3 just for this game.

 

[Seventh Sword]

Somebody give me a PS3, quickly. This should come out here tomorrow. I can't wait to try fighting Screaming Mantis.

 

[Machspeed]

Anyone getting a MGS4 PS3 bundle, be sure to go to Wal-Mart.

You are getting a free 100$ gift card with whatever Blu-Ray player you buy, and PS3 is included. I would sell my PS3 and buy back one from there, but I'm lazy.

Only 8 more hours remain.

 

[Crimson King]

Man, I'm so excited. I decided I am going to just play MGS4 tomorrow, as opposed to waiting and playing MGS 3 first, then once I beat it go back through the whole series Sadly, I think MGS is gone and I have no idea where MGS 2 is. I'll have to buy that MGS Trilogy.

 

[Ryudo_Sama]

I haven't played a MGS game before, so this one will be a start for me. I can't wait to get it.

 

[bored]

Yeah, I have no experience of the series either.

 

[Chief Mendez]

Wow. You guys are seriously boned. I can't possibly comprehend trying to play MGS4 before the other three 'Solids. Really, at least do some background reading beforehand.

 

[bored]

I catch on to things pretty quick, so it should be no biggie.

 

[Johnknight1]

^ But checking out Metal Gear wiki is always nice to do before hand. Ergh...I need a Metal Gear Solid 4 system! (what's a PS3?)

I gotta **** people with the CQC ground grab strangle thing...

 

[Chief Mendez]

I catch on to things pretty quick, so it should be no biggie.

When Ocelot starts talking to his arm for no reason, you'll think differently.

I'm also willing to bet that MGS4's plot will have you thoroughly confused as to why there are so many Bosses, and just how many Snakes there are.

 

[Cashed]

SNAKE KILLS DUMBLEDORE.

Lol.

 

[L__]

Hmm...

There's Solid Snake, Naked Snake (Big Boss), Liquid Snake, Solidus Snake, Snake (Raiden at beginning of MGS2), Old Snake (Solid Snake at beginning of MGS4), Ocelot, Liquid Ocelot (Ocelot with liquids arm)

Eh. I love MGS.

Played MGS1 and got the bandanna + the cloaking. MGS2 I got the wigs and bandanna. MGS3 I never finished 100% cause i didnt own it. Same with the PO and Acid!.

Lol. Anyone remember Naomi Hunter? Or Mei-Ling?

 

[Blackadder]

You're both ****ed. You'll have to play the others, it's the only way.

... No, really.

Anyways, the game's been out in Australia here for over half a day now, which means at least 18381810 people have already passed the game 100%. I myself am buying the PS3 bundle pack and all. Only reason to get a PS3 is this game, I swear.

Too bad I've already spoiled all of the game. I couldn't resist!

 

[Juke]

Bought it at midnight at walmart. I've only played a couple of hours, but so far it has been pretty effin sweet.

 

[Machspeed]

Holy **** this game is awesome.

Been playing for I don't know how long (went to midnight release), and this game is just too awesome for words. The gameplay is so far, definitely the superior Metal Gear Solid.

Finally, buying a PS3 is paying off in full.

 

[Crimson King]

http://kotaku.com/5015742/hear-solid-snake-say-kotaku - Yay, you see David Hayter speak. Pretty neat.

 

[bored]

This game deserves a perfect 10/10. I cannot quit playing it.

 

[Eor]

Oh if only I had a ps3

 

[Crimson King]

I had to force myself to stop before I got too into it. I think the 90 minutes of cut scenes was throughout the intro, which you also play during. It's not so bad.

Man, this is a great game. Good job, Kojima!

 

[Cat Fight]

I have to wait until September (birthday) so I actually get to have my own run through of the game... No money for a PS3. D":

 

[HAYAKU]

OMG...has anyone seen the raiden and vamp fight yet.Raiden is toooooo strong he picked those gekkos lke feathers my ***** raiden got too nice

 

[Zero Beat]

I love the way you shoot in this game. Everything feels very solid.

 

[Blackadder]

Laybuyed a PS3 and this game... should have in in a few weeks.
The lengths I'm going to for the final chapter. I must be insane.

Yay!

 

[IWontGetOverTheDam]

SNAKE KILLS DUMBLEDORE.

Lol.

No spoilers!!! ><

 

[Machspeed]

I'm starting Act 4 today, probably going to have it done altogether sometime this weekend.

However, going to keep farming Drebin Points for upgrades and of course, there's Metal Gear Online. :D

 

[bored]

Starting Act 5 tommorow. Its strange that the gameplay is really short, opposed to the obscenely long cutscenes. Oh well, I'm going to finish it tommorow and then I'm going to attempt to try and beat BBH mode.

The bosses so far have been fairly easy.
Laughing Octopus wasn't all that hard, except for when she curled up into a ball and ran over you.
Raging Raven and Crying Wolf were real easy too.

Then when thats all said and done, MGO!

 

[Blackadder]

Its strange that the gameplay is really short, opposed to the obscenely long cutscenes.

Strange!?
This is MGS mate, it'd be strange if it was the other way 'round!

 

[bored]

Heh, I guess so. I'm not saying thats bad or anything, I just wish the gameplay was much longer. It's still fun, though.
