CoolFunkMan Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Its all about the anti tank baby, yeah! You can snipe her when she rests and exposes herself. When she charges at you I use the grenade launcher attachment on the M4. The whole thing was pretty easy once you figure it out. Ty for that, and I've done it now. ^^
Daft Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Ty for that, and I've done it now. ^^ Its a pretty daunting boss fight but not too tricky. Now I just need to get past where I am now. Its driving me nuts...

DiemetriX Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 JOverall it was a great experience but MGS3 still holds on to the title of best MGS for me. Agreed. MGS3 > MGS4 Why has the thread title been edited? I liked my title Sorry Caris, but I edited so that it didn't spoil anything and so because "The Official MGS4 Thread" is a better thread title for the Official thread. Didnt realise you can control MKII in some cutscenes. Try attacking some of your friends with it in a cutscene I've just caught this guy wanking over some porn loli One of the things I love about the game is all of that which is hidden, You can play through the game may times and discover new tings each time. Most games make awesome things and make you have to discover them, MGS just adds a lot of awesome stuff for fans to find.
DiemetriX Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 [MGS4 > MGS3] Especially gameplay wise. I do agree that MGS4 has the best gameplay of the series. But MGS3 had better boss battles and a better story IMO. So over all I liked MGS3 better. (I played subsistence which is better than the original) Don't get me wrong. This game is awesome, and should be played. It's a lot better that GTA (not that those two games should be compared)
Daft Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Snake is literally crumbling throughout the game. You feel uncomfortable with him. Unusual for a game. I am genuinely concerned for Snake. Not really about the story (although obviously that too) but if he can actually make it through to the end (if that makes sense.) As each act goes by he shows signs of getting weaker and weaker. Its great. I do agree that MGS4 has the best gameplay of the series. But MGS3 had better boss battles and a better story IMO. So over all I liked MGS3 better. (I played subsistence which is better than the original) I think the story in MGS3 has an emotionally stronger story but having played MGS3 I find that while playing MGS4 all the themes and memories of MGS3 come up and have the same effect. MGS4 is a better game because of MGS1/2 and especially 3. How'd have thought Major Zero would have become that major a character!? (Unless I missed some story from the PSP games) Love it I've got Act 5 to go. I'll leave it to do on Sunday.

Not really about the story (although obviously that too) but if he can actually make it through to the end (if that makes sense.) As each act goes by he shows signs of getting weaker and weaker. Like SotC and Eternal Darkness?
Domstercool Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Yeah the concern you get really does build up as you see him more and more stab himself with the needle,
Daft Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Like SotC and Eternal Darkness? I never really got into Eternal Darkness and I didn't play SotC (although I really wanted to) so I can't compare.
Caris Posted June 13, 2008 Author Posted June 13, 2008 Gonna start Act 4 on my second play through in a few minutes. Best Act of the game IMO.
Dante Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 I never really got into Eternal Darkness and I didn't play SotC (although I really wanted to) so I can't compare. Eternal Darkness character turning the undead in every area he went and SotC character was taking over everytime he killed a boss and turning his body into a weaker form. Both coughing up blood and becoming white looking.
Guest Stefkov Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Sorry Caris, but I edited so that it didn't spoil anything and so because "The Official MGS4 Thread" is a better thread title for the Official thread. The problem with saying that is now I know it's a spoiler. I didn't know Rex vs Ray was any kind of spoiler. Now I know it is a spoiler. All these frickin spoiler boxes. I'm not gonna be able to play it again till tomorrow night. All I want to do is open them all.
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 For some reason - mainly by how quick some of you have finished this game - this games seems less epic. What can actually make this game of the year? The story, the movies or the actual GAMEPLAY!?
The Lillster Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 For some reason - mainly by how quick some of you have finished this game - this games seems less epic. What can actually make this game of the year? The story, the movies or the actual GAMEPLAY!? It can't really be described in words. To me it's just an awesome experiance and the game is very unique, which is one of the reasons why I find it so appealing. Playing = believing!
Domstercool Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 For some reason - mainly by how quick some of you have finished this game - this games seems less epic. What can actually make this game of the year? The story, the movies or the actual GAMEPLAY!? Just because we finished it fast doesn't mean it makes it any less epic. We just did long sessions, my first day was playing it for over 11 hours straight, because it was so damn awesome, I just couldn't put it down. The whole package is breath takingly great. The gameplay is top notch too, you can take situations and play them different ways. I loved using the camo suit to sneak my way past people, blending into a bush and then having that bush still on me in a cutscene is amusing, hey it's leaf snake I know for a fact that I haven't seen everything in the game, so I need to replay it.
DiemetriX Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 MGS4 is a better game because of MGS1/2 and especially 3. Indeed. MGS4 is a great game that is a lot better if you have played the earlier games in the series. (which I have). Act 4, is amazing. but mostly because of the "earlier games". Even some of the boss battles are sorts of Fan service. But MGS3 is a great game even if you haven't played the other mgs games. That is also one of the reasons I like 3 more than 4.
CoolFunkMan Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 THE START OF ACT 5 IS SO FUCKING STUPID!!! IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!! :mad: Tbh, I don't think I'll ever be able to complete the game. I just keep trying and trying, but I can't do it, no matter how hard I try....
Caris Posted June 14, 2008 Author Posted June 14, 2008 The problem with saying that is now I know it's a spoiler. I didn't know Rex vs Ray was any kind of spoiler. Now I know it is a spoiler. All these frickin spoiler boxes. I'm not gonna be able to play it again till tomorrow night. All I want to do is open them all. No spoilers, there was a scene in a trailer which had a battle between Rex and Ray.
Daft Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 THE START OF ACT 5 IS SO FUCKING STUPID!!! IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!! :mad: Tbh, I don't think I'll ever be able to complete the game. I just keep trying and trying, but I can't do it, no matter how hard I try.... HAHA! I just did it. It was driving me nuts! Caris was right. Brute force!!! It was really annoying because I could sneak as far as to see the door but I couldn't get past the last 10 feet. (AAAAAARGHH!!) There are about 6 gekkos you can take out with the uber rail gun you get of Crying Wolf and then you mop up the rest of the soldiers. Make sure to have your rations activated on your items so they are automatically used when you lose all your health. I used 2 rations to get past it. Indeed. MGS4 is a great game that is a lot better if you have played the earlier games in the series. (which I have). Act 4, is amazing. but mostly because of the "earlier games". Even some of the boss battles are sorts of Fan service. But MGS3 is a great game even if you haven't played the other mgs games. That is also one of the reasons I like 3 more than 4. I prefer a lot more because the controls are much easier and fighting your way out of trouble is actually a possibility. I played all the other MGS games for the story. I was never good at stealth. But I'm loving 4 because it is easier to sneak and if you cock it up its not the end f the world. I think you have to take the series as a whole as well. They are more than the sum of their parts.
CoolFunkMan Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 HAHA! I just did it. It was driving me nuts! Caris was right. Brute force!!! Okay, I've just opened the water tight door, but it's set to alert status. Where the hell do I go? :S Oh, I did it, lol...
Daft Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Haha, it was taking me ages yesterday and I did it first time this morning! :p
Babooo Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 I wish I was playing this...instead I'm watching videos on youtube of someone else playing it.
Caris Posted June 14, 2008 Author Posted June 14, 2008 Finished it again on the Harder Normal setting. Epic as ever. It's in my top 5 games ever made for sure. Now to start it again in Hard!
Hero-of-Time Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Heres a question for everyone. What START did everyone get when playing the game for the 1st time? Me and the lads were on about this yesterday at work as I brought it up and both of them didnt have a clue about the section I was describing. I got a scene with David Hayter in someform of spoof interview, 1 lad got a doctumentry about octopus and another lad got someform of body building advert. Is there a set way to see all of these or are they just random?
