LegoMan1031 Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 lol, cool. Think i would pass on it anyway...
Daft Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 lol, cool. Think i would pass on it anyway... lol, I lost my alarm clock somewhere when moving house so that gave me the perfect excuse.
LegoMan1031 Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 lol, I lost my alarm clock somewhere when moving house so that gave me the perfect excuse. Heh. I tend to just use my phone as an alarm.... I have to set a few though, espically when i'm in work at 7 in the mornin (like today), so hard to get out of bed.... Speaking of MGS4 i have not played the single player since completing it but it will defo be a game i will prob play through a few more times yet, i have so many fond memories from this game!
dwarf Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 I'd like to hear Kojima's thoughts on LBP. He must like it if he let them use a Snake sackboy.
flameboy Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 So MGS4 has been winning a ton of awards in rpactically every type of category. IMO all deservedly so. Its such a memorable and well made experience on so many levels. A cool bonus in MGS4 is that they added some Christmas themed decorations like a christmas tree on the aircraft and some downloadables. He likes it. He even did the presentation at TGS. Seems to be a close relationship between Sony and him. Cool little easter eggs added doesn't surprise me as they did say to expect some kinda bonuses come xmas time.
Oxigen_Waste Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 Finished it today. Good game. The plot was a disappointment, though.
dwarf Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 ^One of the most hard to impress individuals surely!
Chris the great Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 ^One of the most hard to impress individuals surely! id have to agree with him though. yeah, there was alot going on, and yes, there were alot of twists and turns, the plot to me, never sunk below average, but it certainly wasn't ground breaking. alot of the time it just left me scratching my head at its viageness, but my main criticism would be that it needed editing. cut scnes were extreemly long, and usualy didnt do much more then prattle on about morals and what have you. would have been good for a 2 min speech, but god it dragged.
Daft Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 I really like the fact MGS' cutscenes are long simply because basically all games do 2 minute cutscenes. It's nice to have a change. It would be great if they included an abridged option so people who don't like the long cutscenes could simple get a well edited concise version.
dwarf Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 I remember David Hayter disagreeing with Kojima over the ending: I think it was in an interview or something where Hayter was disappointed with Kojima's decision to make Snake hesitate when putting the gun in his mouth. Hayter wanted Snake to pull the trigger because his character was very soldier like and he felt that Snake would have killed himself without much problem. I think that would have been a cooler/more emotional ending, but I don't mind. Otacon's little dialogue was endearing when he said that he wanted to stay at Snake's side so that he could pass on the legendary story.
Daft Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 In the first game Meryl tell Snake to live. So I think it was better he didn't kill himself however, I wish they made more of the issue during the game.
Deathjam Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Cant believe its taken me so long to start playing this game. It is a true sneaking mission, with the stealth being properly realised imo. And it feels like you are truly in a warzone with constant explosions and bullets wizzing right by you, even sometimes catching you. And the graphics. Geez are they amazing. The online mode does nothing to show how good looking this game is. I can see why it was nominated in so many awards. It actually deserves the accolades it gets. Soon I will jump onto the GTA4 bandwagon and see if the same goes for that, though I had no doubt with MGS4
tapedeck Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 I only ever *really* liked the GB Colour MGS so never really been interested in this. I like to just storm in there and hate waiting about for stuff whilst shitting myself from a fear of being !seen! (I know the GB version wasn't like that...but it just engulfed me.) I had Twin Snakes and played it through to completion (took 2 years) and yeah, it was 'OK' imo. The movies were AMAZING yet a lot of the gameplay was just frustrating (camera angles mainly.) Played MGS2 on the PS2 and again, movies were amazing and general tone was sweet...But being on (an oil rig?) and the REALLY confusing story made me bored to tears...Never got back into the franchise after that. I've heard that a lot of this game is optional though - - like you can run and gun if you want. And I've heard that the story makes sense! I so desperately want to love it. I liked the demo...well, the running around with about 5 enemies to shoot/hide from/crap oneself from a tank. I have a PS3 and no MGS4...I feel like the only one!

Even if you didnt think so, it's really what you bought your ps3 for (although I actually bought mine for Killzone 2 but meh).

I like to just storm in there and hate waiting about for stuff whilst shitting myself from a fear of being !seen! (I know the GB version wasn't like that...but it just engulfed me.) I remember the GBC MGS. That was fun. I'm the same. I hate being stealthy. I think it's the dullest game mechanic ever. I also thought the controls sucked in all the other games, bar maybe MGS2, but MGS4 fixes this and as for stealth...I'd be more inclined to call it 'tactical espionage action' because it is. Getting spotted isn't that big a deal and there is a lot more running and gunning. I like it when things go boom. I never played the other MGSs until a month before MGS4 was out, I did them all on mega easy, and I loved them all but MGS4 was a dream. At least give it a rent.

I think I sucked something awful at it. But I think it was another one I got close to completing but didn't but yeah, it was fun.

But I think it was another one I got close to completing but didn't but yeah, it was fun. Yeah it was one of the few games I thought was really hard yet really wanted to complete. Actually it's one of the only GBC games I remember playing. Sir Daft: Consider me renting MGS4 Good man. You won't regret it.
dwarf Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 I don't think stealth is a great game mechanic but I really liked my run-through of MGS4 when I finally got the stealth-camo. Getting past the room with 3 gekkos and the rolling thee legged camera things without being spotted was awesome, adrenaline fueled yet slightly strenuous. You can't beat the first run-through where you experience the cut-scenes for the first time and you mix the style of play around, shooting and noob sneaking.
Aimless Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 I remember the GBC MGS. That was fun. Assuming the battery hasn't died, I have a copy with everything 100% completed somewhere. The soundtrack was fantastic, and IdeaSpy 2.5 is probably the best secret in any game ever.
Deathjam Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 FUCK SAKE. As if gekko's aren't annoying enough, they throw damned suicide gekkos at you, and it's not even some clever name for a crack group, they actually fucking blow up! How the Hell am I supposed to take care of these when I have no idea how to kill a gekko properly anyways! Seriously how do I take these fuckers down and actually kill them rather than giving them a good rest.
dwarf Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Are you playing MGS4? I don't remember suicide gekkos...
Daft Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Act 4 has suicide Gekkos. You kill them with that rail gun thing that you nab off sniper wolf.
