Retro_Link Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Gametrailers Review - 9.3 http://www.gametrailers.com/player/35051.html
Dante Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Japan Sales - 100% sell-thru for normal version, 90% for special version - Complete sell-out for steel-colored special hardware bundles, 2 left for Sony's own hardware bundles - Not too outstanding normal PS3 pushes compared with the sales of hardware bundles - The total sales of MGS4 in the launch day alone already exceeded the LTDs of MNG5, DMC4 and RGG3, and just a little bit behind the LTD of Musou 5, the best-selling PS3 game in his shop.
Guest Stefkov Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Started playing it at 1 ish then was out for 4/5 hours at 2 o'clock so Act 1 took me 6 hours to complete. Visually the game is fantastic, I look forward to watching the cutscenes. I wish Metal Gear was just a movie, each game in the MGS series being a movie which I can just watch.
Daft Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 The graphics in one of the cutscenes later on, in Act 3 I think, are f*cking amazing. I'm so glad I played MGS3 otherwise half of this would be going over my head. I want to keep playing but I don't want to finish it...damn it. I think thats all for today. When they are wandering towards you after you defeat them does it make a difference if you tranq them to lose all their stamina or just kill them? I've been tranqing them.

Daft Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 If anyone can do that last one.............. ....I don't even know what to say.... What do you press to shock with it in the intermission? I haven't actually used it yet. Cheers Dante!
dwarf Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 So is it necessary for me to play Snake Eater because I really want to play this seeing as it's out and everyone is talking about it? I only have a 40bg, but there is a ps2 if I can be bothered to set it up.
Daft Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 I don't know what everyone else thinks but Act 3 is REALLY MGS3 reference heavy. It just wouldn't have the same impact without. MGS3 is an awesome game anyway, you should just play it.
Domstercool Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Woo, Been playing it none stop. It's on Act 3 paused right now. Bloody awesome stuff, my pants have been filled up god knows how many times. Anyway back to playing!
Daft Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 I personally didn't like MGS3 :/ What didn't you like? I preferred playing MGS2 but I thought the story with The Boss, Naked Snake and Eva was just awesome. And the last section was just so cool. Best boss fights ever...well until I played MGS4. Laughing Octopus now has that crown.
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 That Gametrailers review make it seem like MGS4 is not such a great leap in terms of progression of the gameplay. I can wait to play it, not tempting enough to buy the console over.
S.C.G Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Loving this game but... is there anywhere where I can watch the cutscenes online? cos twice now I've had to *god forbid* skip / turn off in the middle of a cutscene cos of having to go to work. :/
dazzybee Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 How much is this in game as I have it preordered. If it's more than £40 I'll order online.

MGS3 is an awesome game anyway, you should just play it. Shit. There's nothing I can do now, I'll just have to go off what Gametrailers videos have told me. Also in Act 2 When you're speaking to Naomi, before you get all tested and whatnot. When she was explaining the whole aging I remember her saying 'It's like it was a game' or on those lines. It showed a list of the MGS games then had a few more pictures underneath it saying 'Under Construction'. I just thought this was maybe a hint.
Daft Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 There is a new Octocamo and Audio track to download. I really hope the 2.4 update allows you to play custom soundtracks through the iPod. T'would be awesome. Shit.There's nothing I can do now, I'll just have to go off what Gametrailers videos have told me. It isn't confusing or anything, if you haven't played MGS3, I just think it'll lose a lot of impact. Also in Act 2 When you're speaking to Naomi, before you get all tested and whatnot. When she was explaining the whole aging I remember her saying 'It's like it was a game' or on those lines.

I wasn't keen on im in MGS2 but in this, with his getup and ninja skills, he's awesome. Shame if he is dead dead now. His fight with Vamp was pretty swish aswell. Act 3 and onwards can wait till the weekend now.
Domstercool Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Just beat Act 3, HOLY MOLY FUCKING SHIT WOOOW O_O hehe @ the start of act 4 Update: Time for bed after over 11 hours straight of playing this wet dream of a game!
Hero-of-Time Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Just beat Act 3, HOLY MOLY FUCKING SHIT WOOOW O_O hehe @ the start of act 4 What Dom said! The ending for act 3 was awesome. The whole of act 4 is class though and im sure it will bring a smile to alot of peoples faces. Although... [spoiler=]I didnt like it how I the screen split when Raiden is fighting Vamp. It was hard to see the fight when you had to keep track of the Gekko. I agree with what Stef said earlier about wishing Metal Gear was a movie. The amount of cutscenes in this one compared to the other games seems alot higher, you cant seem to walk down a corridor without another one kicking in. It doesnt bother me though as I bought it for the story. Im on act 5 now, anyone know how many acts I have left to go?
Guest Jordan Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Last one HoT. I just started act 2 last night, only went as far as the first building (literally) to find a guy jacking off to a Playboy. I held him up :p
Zelda_Rulez Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Well the bundle seems to have been delayed a week where I preordered for no apparent reason.
Retro_Link Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Im on act 5 now, anyone know how many acts I have left to go?Only 5 acts Hero, so last one!
Hero-of-Time Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Only 5 acts Hero, so last one! Last one HoT. Thanks guys. Just got in from work now so it looks like I will be finishing this in the next few hours.
Daft Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Just finished Act 4. I'll be starting 5 in an hour or so. I'll be sad to complete it. ...oh well, there is always MGO. Otacon's change disk codec banter made me lol!
