Why did snake have to get old and possibly have to die so young. I wanted him to maybe mentor someone and have the whole "The Boss + Big Boss" thing going on. How will they continue metal gear solid now? i dont want to be some new person. i want to be solid snake but hes dead now!

Snake isn't dead. He never fired that bullet. He will spend his last days with Otacon and Sunny.

 

But I really do think that Kojima-san should put Solid Snake to rest. But I think Kojima-san will still allow future directors to use Solid Snake, but he won't allow them to use him as a main character. Maybe we will see in a cameo or a small role.

Making Solid Snake young again is a peace of cake for a game that has storyline like MGS. All those clones and futuristic stuff...They could just give Snake a new body and make MGS5

Going back to Shadow Moses made the hairs on my back to stand up. The first Metal Gear for the PSX has always been my fav.

Likewise. Running around all the old areas, the bit with the Nikita and the electrified floor, cyborg ninja flashbacks biggrin.gif. Although I suppose most probably thought Rex vs Ray was a little OTT, I f*cking loved it. Never got to see that bit of Shadow Moses, plus pitting those 2 machines against each other was just epic.

Ray was suposed to be a counter metal gear but it didn't stand a chance against rex. That bit was awesome

Just wondering if anyone from the forums plays this online? I've just checked out some videos on youtube and it looks really competitive, i might give it a go.

If there's one minor thing that's annoying me its leaving the PS3 running and playing the waiting game to get the chicken emblem i'm suffering from withdrawal because i can't play fallout 3 (i need a second PS3)

11 hours to go before i get the chicken emblem among others.

 

i'm also going for giant panda, frog, scarab, inch worm, tortoise and gecko.

I've been playing through this game over and over, mucking around unlocking all the secrets. I'm going to try for the Big Boss emblem next. It looks pretty straight forward, 5 hours seems like a generous amount of timetoo. I've heard of people have finishing in under 4. There's just a few parts, like the Crying Wolf battle and bike chase that come down to a fair bit of luck.

The big boss emblem looks pretty hard to get,especially because your not allowed to kill,alert,die or use health\special items (and you have to finish the game under 5 hours,I read that cutscenes also count against the timer)

For the bike chase that's where I got ALOT of points. Just switch auto aim on, buy a P90 because it's the best smg in the game. Get a load of ammo, upgrade it and during the bike chase all you gotta do is shoot. It's seriously fun just seeing everything getting killed by your p90 automatically especially those flying things.

Yeah i know what's involved, I read a short guide on it and it seems if you take specific paths, shoot specific places and so on it's all good. I've got the Solar gun/patriot already, I hear they make it a whole lot easier.

I don't think you can use the solar gun on the bike chase can you? I thought you can only use SMGs? Also, you're talking about the bike part with Big Mama right?

I dunno about the bike chase using the Solar Gun, but I always used the Bizon, it has a 64 round capacity vs the P90's 50 rounds.

 

I'm yet to try the Patriot on that part, it's a submachine gun so you can use it, the unlimited ammo would make it easier to take as much health off Raging Raven as possible before the boos fight even starts.

Yeah, I know, but I doubt you can use the solar gun on the bike though. Anyway, the patriot is an epic gun and i'm pretty sure you would kick ass sh*t and everything that is in your screen if auto aim is on. Btw, is the bizon the chinese made gun? If it is, I suggest you use either the p90 or the patriot because it's attack is weak and less accurate. If i'm not wrong, the bizon is the one that you automatically get when you're on the bike right? If so, then the P90 is a better choice. If not, then i'm not sure.

It's the one with the cylindrical magazine, the default only has like 30 rounds or something, it sucks. I'm not sure that stopping power really makes a difference on that particular act, since any weapon seems to kill the UAVs/Frogs within a couple of hits.

Some people have done it in under 2 hours. Once you know exactly what to do, it's pretty easy (Haven't done it myself, though).

 

 

Konami did a week of MGS announcements two weeks ago. I was hoping for trophies, but the only new thing they announced was a MGO Tournament. That's only open to U.S residents. And you need SCENE to play.

 

The other things they 'announced' was MGS4 as a Greatest Hits game (Known for several months), MGS1 on the PSN (Was known for weeks beforehand, plus NA only), and a MGO map (But you need SCENE to use it),

I'm really surprised that MGS4 hasn't got trophies, I would've thought it would be one of the first games to add support. What's stranger there is still rumours floating around of a possible patch to fix it.

 

I can't see it happening, it would be awesome if they did though. Surely it couldn't be hard to make all the emblems into trophies.

Yeah im shocked aswel. Theres alot of things that could be rewarded with trophies like Bandana's & those weird frogs things? Also online has never really interested me except the customization for your characters, everyones just way to good on it now for me to start playing.

 

Hell No:

Never seen that video before, i'm actually signed up there, only posted to ask about some MGO things. Was abit empty when i last visited aswel.

Back in 07 this was said to be the last one, however, I think the old adage "Never say Never" applies here for sure!

 

I almost rented it, but for sure I plan to try before I buy. I remember back when someone goes "tried MGS" yet, and I had no idea what he was on about!

I thought I might add that a good strategy for the part on the back of the motor bike with Big Mama you can use the sawn-off shotgun and buy non lethal ammo for it. It packs a pretty good punch and knocks out enemies in one shot, the only downside is that it's a little slow on the reload.

 

Makes finishing the game non-lethally a bit easier. (Goddamn I hated doing the motor bike part without any healing items. suicidal.gif )

That mission is a real bitch, trying to hide behind big mama while 2 mounted machine guns and 6 frogs are blasting away at you. The iPod healing songs help a tiny little bit, if only the patriot had non-lethal ammo tounge.gif

Can anyone help me, i downloaded some camo last night gear camo and so on the problem is i can't figure out how to use it i loaded the game thinking i would find it in the camo menu but there was nothing so how do you access the downloaded camo?

 

Does anyone think that they should have ended the series with MSG4 everything gets wrapped up with MGS4 they will have to think up a new bad guy for the next MGS maybe they could have an albert wesker style character trying to restart the patriots.

 

read this interesting article detailing the differences on shadow moses island between MGS1 and MGS4

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

 

Possible MGS4 trophy patch in the works

http://ie.ps3.ign.com/articles/101/1011874p1.html

 

It will be interesting to see what trophies konami would come up with if MGS4 gets a trophy patch

 

More than likely there will be a trophy for finishing the game on big boss extreme, i would be surprised if there wasn't one

I've never played this before, but since people said it was so good I just purchased this game today, but the lady at the store charged me ten dollars over what it was advertised for, and I didn't realize it till I got home. I'm kind of pissed, but don't really want to drive 40 minutes back to store to argue with lady over $10.

 

So before I open it, My question is, does this game have any multiplayer or anything like that?

 

And if it does not, does the game have any replay value or not? Do you guys still play this game at all after you beat it?/

There is multiplayer and replay value is great for fans such as myself. But ultimately it's about the story. If you haven't played previous games you shouldn't have picked that one either.

Are you suggesting that one can't follow/appreciate the story if they haven't played the previous games?

 

(I may have played MG2 back on NES .... but that was long long ago and I don't really remember much about it).

 

But I'm glad to hear it has multiplayer.

There's this whole explanation on IGN of the entire MGS story. I'd say look for that if you want to learn it all.

 

I recently popped this in for 5 minutes, played it, died 20 times and gave up. God I hate that final level.

I gotta say that I started playing this yesterday (I'm about 1/2 way through) and this is possibly the best video game I've ever played.

 

It is amazing on so many levels (and I didn't even really like previous MG games). Everyone should play this - it's a work of art.

I just bought this game and tried to play the mulitplayer, but it says I need to download a huge file, and I let it run for an entire hour and it is only 4% done.

 

How long did this take you guys to download and play the on-line portion of the game?

 

What is the multi-player aspect anyways? Is it a COD-type free-for-all?
