You'll miss a few nods here and there but overall you're good.

You don't really need to be a Metal Gear fan to enjoy the story.

Besides, the best bits of the plot are entirely unrelated to Metal Gear canon.

Spoiler

*coughcoughARMSTRONGcough*

Not really, it's quite a self-contained story. You will be getting a lot of spoilers for MGS4 though, if that matters.

Ah k. Thats good then. Get the feeling I should probably play the rest just because of how amazing everyone says they are lol. Looks like that huge Legacy collection just came out in Australia too...

Where are the GIFS?

 

[OverturePT]

Hard to believe I'll be playing a Platinum Games game on my PC. So good! Can't wait.

 

[Dawg]

I'll buy it... eventually.

 

[Peff]

So I take it you've got to of played the other MGS games to get the gist of what's going on in Revengeance? I haven't played any before

Spoiler

I'll leave my gamer membership at the front desk.

Just watch a minute-ish of this to understand a joke and you're golden.

Excellent OT, Scrafty. Knew you would deliver.

Will finish pre-loading today. I have five days off after today, too. It's fate.

Thanks, bro! Hope you enjoy my GOTY for 2013!

There's a link to the OST in the OP, ya jabroni ;P

 

[MMBosstones86]

preloading today. i'm ready

 

[Dario ff]

Not sure if you didn't include the store links for some reason (There's no new rule about that AFAIK, right?), but here's a few:
Steam
GreenManGaming
Amazon US
Nuuvem BR
GameFly

Not that I recommend pre-ordering when we haven't even seen a single screenshot of the game running above 720p yet, but I'm too weak.

 

[Dr Mayonnaise]

I have wanted to play this game since I saw the E3 trailer a couple years ago, now that its coming to PC my first time playing will be at a glorious 1440p at 60fps can't wait

 

[monome]

First PG* game on PC.

May the Green Gods of Cash be with you PG* (even though you probably got a shit deal with Konami).

No spoiler gifs guys, let's not spoil it for others.

There's a link to the OST in the OP, ya jabroni ;P

I can't find it brosef?

 

[Tain]

Excited to hop in to Very Hard. The wait is unbearable, ugh.

 

[BishopLamont]

Been waiting for this when they announced it way back, this gon be goood.

 

[Stallion Free]

Hopefully they release some PR when the port breaks even, I want to know how fast it was (or did it break even already?)

I got my copy ready to rip.

 

[Nucl3arSnake]

Pre-loaded. I'm ready!

 

[Messofanego]

I'll wait for the TotalBiscuit analysis of the port hehe

 

[BadWolf]

Excited to hop in to Very Hard. The wait is unbearable, ugh.

You might want to consider upgrading your skills and weapons in Hard first.

Unlike DMC, the weapon upgrades in MGR actually upgrade the damage output etc. of the weapon which helps offset the health boosts the enemies gain in Very Hard and Revengeance.

Also, Very Hard is in a way harder than the Revengeance difficulty.

[BMX Bandit]

Preloaded will be my first play through. Played all the other metal gear games I'm ready to "rock and ride"-biker mice from mars SNES.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Preloaded. So ready for this.

 

[jet1911]

Thanks GMG, at 18$ it's hard to resist.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Here is the XMB theme which sadly isn't on the soundtrack.

When i put the disc in and this came up i knew shit is about to get real.

 

[scitek]

When can we unlock this?

 

[PoweredBySoy]

Anxious to hear about port performance and options. If it's good, I'll pick this up.

 

[Broken Joystick]

So good it removed The Stains of Time

 

[dmr87]

When can we unlock this?

27 hours for me, Europe.

So no midnight release.

 

[Ravensmash]

All this hype reminds me that I got it day 1 for PS3 but have never played through it properly

 

[darkpaladinmfc]

27 hours for me, Europe.

So no midnight release.

Does it unlock earlier anywhere else?

 

[brotkasten]

The OT mentions the story DLC, but does the PC version also include the different skins?

 

[Carbonox]

SO happy to see that more people are going to enjoy this amazing game. GOTY two years in a row, whodathunkit? THAT'S why P* never bothered to release it on PC until now.


hehehehe

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

My $15 Amazon pre-order is ready.

 

[liquidtmd]

Errrrm about that...

 

[Peff]

The OT mentions the story DLC, but does the PC version also include the different skins?

Yup, and the extra pack of VR missions too.

 

[Stone Ocean]

The OT mentions the story DLC, but does the PC version also include the different skins?

As far as I know it comes with everything, including the Pre-Order skins like the Gray Fox one.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Is it still 1080p max?

 

[moltonasty]

I was in the process of playing this game on PS3 and literally got rid of my copy once I heard a PC version was coming. That was months ago. And now it's almost here! Sometimes it pays to wait...and to be part of the glorious PC master race

 

[dmr87]

Does it unlock earlier anywhere else?

No idea.

 

[Sinatar]

My God its like Batman Beyond's intro...this game is gonna be hype as hell.

 

[moltonasty]

Is it still 1080p max?

Not if Durante has anything to say about it.

Spoiler

1080p is good enough for me

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Can't wait for the mods so I can play Sam in the main story and do Sam vs Sam
Too much BR to handle

 

[MichaelFassbender]

Today needs to end. Soon. The wait is just pure torture.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

I have wanted to play this game since I saw the E3 trailer a couple years ago, now that its coming to PC my first time playing will be at a glorious 1440p at 60fps can't wait

Unless Durante has a tweak.. not gonna happen.

I'm conflicted on this.

I was super late to the PS3 party, and when I finally did pick up MGS4, I never got around to playing it. I got up to meeting SIGINT, and then never touched it again.

I've played through and really enjoyed, storywise and gameplaywise, MGS3, MGS2, and Peacewalker. I also know the major plot points from MGS1, but haven't played much of it beyond a rental of the Twin Snakes once.

Is there some stuff in MGS4 besides

Spoiler

nanomachines, and the ending scenes in general

that I would be really missing out on if I never got around to playing it? I have my PS3 packed up already, and I kind of want to just jump in to this when it unlocks.

 

[Grief.exe]

The 60 FPS bullet point in the FAQ is kind of ironic considering the platform.

It should be left in.

Perfect game for those 120hz monitors.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

Poor Irish me can't buy it because Konami still haven't go it up on our Steam store.

So duuuuuumbbbbbb.

 

[GhostTrick]

Preloaded... can't WAIT.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Now PC gamers can have this fun:

Oh god

I just realized

The mods

Someone make Sunny playable pronto
