I just want to say for those who are playing big boss difficulty. Wait till you be llike in half of act 4 and beyond. The game gets really hard. You might have some regrets when you reach that part and keep dying constantly. You also might end up restarting a new game on a easier difficulty.


You continue to doubt my power. I am so good at this game its crazy . Cant wait for the Hardest setting you get at the end of the game.

How far are you now? I guess I misjudged you on your skills at metal gear solid games. So yeah is the hard mode of MGS 4 harder than path of a warior in ninja gaiden II?

Don' t tell me you already finish the game. And you were playing it on solid normal too. I was struggling thorughout the game on naked normal you know. You must be good at games. and where did you find all the time to finish it? Don' t you work at gamestop? So yeah I' m going to try to play it now on big boss hard. I doubt I will get far in the game. I like act 3 alot. I found the game short.


I guess you could say I am good at games, though it depends on the genre. I suck at FPS, but have always been really good with Third Person/ Action Adventure games. Stealth games are also some of my favorites and I have always had a good run with MGS. I' ve beaten all other 3 on Extreme (European Extreme for Substance and Subsistence) so I had enough practice to tackle Solid Normal and I think I' ve got enough for the other two difficulties.

As far as time, is not like I work all day you know?

so yeah What do you guys think about having another metal gear solid game. I know kojima gave a conclusion to the story. Do you think they should remake the metal gear games that came out on the nes? I really think they should.
Yeah I' m playing on big boss hard and you can easily get spotted. I was able to make it to the part where you get the drum can. I die so many times.

Didn' t Kojima say he wasn' t going to be part of another MGS game? If thats the case then I hope this is the last game. (Spoiler highlight) I think its obvious that there won' t be another game with snake in it considering what happened at the end.

I read something recently where Kojima said that he would like to work on one more Metal Gear game, but this is the end of the road for Snake.

That sounds more like it. " Hide and go seek" isn' t my style either.

How much do you think was the budget for MGS 4? This must be a very expensive game to make. Shenmue was the most expensive video game until grand theft auto 4 came out.
grand theft auto 4= 100 millions
shenmue 1 + 2 = 70 millions
gears of war=10 millions.

I got those numbers from a shenmue fan site. A member posted them.

I' m on my second playthrough - taking pictures using the ingame camera that i missed first time around. The game is all kinds of badass...

...however, act' s 2 and 3 are the weakest, with 3 having very minimal gameplay. 4 and 5 are total fanservice and Kojima seriously overshoots on the ending, ....far more so than Peter Jackson did with King.

Aspects of the plotline have obviously been retroactively revised - which is fine for the most part, but because some of the voice acting and dialogue is washy and so much of the game is made up of cutscenes, ...it really doesn' t help. Drebin is the best non-Snake character in the game.

Act 3 is lame. The chase sequence is fine - it looks amazing, and the cutscene and the end of the act is cool, but for the most part the gameplay is really weak.

The cutscenes are stellar, and as Agent said, the production values are out of this world... but Kojima has this habbit of pulling you out of the immersion generated by these fuck awesome scenes by including some stupid emotive explanation...

The gameplay is spot on though and the game has very high replay value. If you had been wondering why the Beauties are so easy to kill once they' ve shed their armour... just run away from them until the timer (which isn' t shown) runs out and it' ll go into VR-like mode where if you equip the camera the girls will pose for you. It' s funky shit!

When you guys have completed the game, take some pictures with the camera and move them over to you PC and post them in the other thread.

I agree with Nitro, act 3 had the worst gameplay.. the whole sneaking thing in the city with that crazy bloom effect was too long and boring... but lol did you guys spot that robot thing in the trenchcoat following you?? lol.

What?

I' ll have to check that out at some point for sheer comedy value.

The game is amazing, but if you' ve ever had any complaints about previous MGS game then you' ll still find something to complain about here.

As far as i' m concerned this is as good as MGS1, and the amount of stuff you can do/collect/mess about with is insane.

I thought act 3 was the best one. It' s my favorite. I love that sneaking from behind that guy. Is true what you said it was kind of long the sneaking. and there wasn' t much gameplay. I thought the game was short too. There was alot of story telling but they should of put more gameplay mission.

who else tired to switch controller ports on the mantis fight? the codec conv is priceless ha ha

I dunno what the Sorrow doll does, I got it was getting frustrated because it wasnt working and I was waving my arms all over the place..

SPOLIERS

ok related to the story, I thought Halo 3 was lame the way master cheif dosent die at the end, but wtf mgs4 too?, I know snake only has a few years left anyway but still, and the Big Boss convo should have been placed just before snake ' shot' himself.. if he didnt shoot himself then what was the gunshot noise coming from?, Big Boss?.

Anyway, I was like wtf what happened to Raiden? I was expecting an answer but I got nothing unless I missed something. And the Liquid thing, so Liquid wasnt really controlling Ocolet, it was all a act? and the real Liquid did die on shadow mosses. The grave Snake was about to shoot himself in front of was Big Boss? it was beside the boss but I didnt cop on yet to who it is.

Actually, Act 3 wasn' t so bad until I lost the guy I was tailing. After running around aimlessly for a while I decided to just take out all of the soldiers and helicopters so that there weren' t too many obstacles in my way. And then when I found another dude to follow, I kept accidentally killing the poor fella until a lightbulk clicked in my head and I realized that I should wait and see what he does before slitting his throat. Plus, the way Otacon kept wetting his pants everytime I killed the dudes that appeared from that same area helped me realized that I was the fool all along.

And yes, I did spot that funky trenchcoat-wearing robot spy tailing me

You guys must suck ass if you got spotted in act 3.

How do you expect to get the stealth camo or the Altair costume if you run around shooting shit?

lol, I don' t think I ever got spotted, I simply just put all of the guards to sleep with the tranquilizer gun, and then while they were napping I ran up to their sleeping bodies and put a bullet in their heads :D .

I was actually doing ok in the beginning and was sparing their lives when I was successfully tailing that dude, but after I lost him and then became kind of bored with the level that' s when I went on a killing spree :D.

Other than being really careful in order to avoid it? No, not really. I just finished Act 3 yesterday on Solid Normal without any alerts, kills, healing items and deaths. I am going for both, the bandana and stealth. I have 30 knife stuns and 48 CQC holds, so I am pretty much close to obtaining Altair' s costume as well. I was gonna go for the Fox emblem I think it is, but decided I wanted to see the story one more time. After this run, my serious unlocking round comes, but on this go I will have the Bandana, Stealth, Altair' s costume and Solar Gun. I just got the Drebin' s mask too.

My little bro is like that. He can be really stealthy, he is just very trigger happy and has a penchant for leaving trails of bodies behind him
