EGM Review:

9.0, 9.5, 10

Just read the MGS3 EGM review. Some interesting tidbits.

- Mark says it has the biggest environments in any console game so far. This is especially surprising considering San Andreas was reviewed in the same issue.

- The boss fights top Fox Hounds (MGS1's team).

- There's one boss in particular that will go down as one of the greatest boss fights ever.

-
The End's boss fight literally lasts over a hour.

- Plot twists actually make sense.

- Longest MG title so far. Clocking in with atleast a 25hour gameplay time.

- Raises the bar for stealth gaming.

- As was pointed out in the EGM thread the codec sequences have been cut back big time.

So yea, it was like a cluster fuck of my mind to dig through IGN/GS's screenshot page.

Anyways, when will you pick up your copy? i'll hopefully get mine on wednesday...
 
Ordered mine with the slowest possible shipping. So I guess towards next Saturday, at the earliest.
 
 
What the fuck gave you the impression that I wanted to know how long The End's bossfight was going to last? :P
 
I'm buying a ps2 for this game. :)
Really looking forward to it. Twin snakes and MGS2 are among my favorite games this generation.

Do we have a final verdict on when its out in the US or Canada?

i'm not sure:/

my EB told me the 18th, but both Gamestop and EBGames (online) have 11/17 for now. amazon says 11/17 too, so i think that one week delay thing was just a typo.

Besides, Konami had a PR recently stating the release date is 11/17, so i don't think that has changed.


btw...wtf is konami doing - where's the commercial? maybe it'll start next week...

Look Mr. Smartass, the other thread was pretty clearly knee deep into spoilers from the EGM review issue by then. This is a PRE-RELEASE thread, please mark any spoilers. I've seen this already but I'm sure many other people haven't. I suspect they are pissed. I suspect you shouldn't be so smug about it. :P

fine, i put up the tag for that line. i didn't think that would be a spoiler but i guess some ppl would consider it as one. oh well.
 
I pre-ordered my copy of MGS3 from the EBgames website just after E3 2004. I loved the gameplay and story elements that were showcased in that trailer so Snake Eater will be joining it's bretheren (MGS, MGS2:SoL, DoMGS2, and MGS2:S) in my collection.

Hopefully it'll arrive at my house at the end of next week on Friday or Saturday. I've got a Mid-Term on Friday but after that I have off from school until the 29th for Thanksgiving. The only game I'm going to be playing in that span will be MGS3. I can't wait! :D
 
Damn, and I said months ago after reading an interview with Kojima, that the environments sound revolutionary. The way there's caves, trees, hills, lakes, everything.. Tons of different layers in surface too. Like pits, high up areas, waterfall like drops. It sounds amazing. Where as GTA did a fantastic job bringing environments to the game, it seems like it's minimized a bit to fit a game. Like a ton of quanity but not as detailed. MGS3 seems to do everything in massive detail and the world seems so much bigger than you. And so much ground to cover while staying in the game's plot will be cool. GTA:SA to do missions you go on the red icon. I can imagine being more immersed when you never escape the narrative of the story. You're always in it.

I can't wait, I'm sure it will be one hell of an experience. And the boss fights talk sounds great. This is gonna rock.
 
I was just reading the new EGM a few minutes ago and was taken aback by that info about The End's boss fight. Sounds either really amazing or really arduous. Maybe a bit of both.
 
Any way a mod can sticky this? I'd love to see a bit of MGS 3 hype around here...

Anyways, I may import the game this christmas, or eventually wait for the PAL release. Still pondering what I should do.

Sorry to be a cocktease but... here's the back cover:

Hawt! And I agree, let's get this stickied. The last I heard MGS3 was quite a killer app :-/
 
I'm importing it. Cant wait for a PAL release, even if it might have some extras, might as well get the PAL version too if that's the case. Konami deserves it!
 
only a few more days until we learn that raiden was actually originally big boss all along and tom brady was the leader of the patriots controlling america with his evil schemes!

That also confirms that rumored Snake Tales mini games and other extra missions. The EGM review made it seem like there's alot of unlockable also. MGS2 was very limited in both areas so they seem to be making up for that with this.

The guy who wroote it seems to have mistranslated that peice of information, someone claims to have read it and read no such thing. I think they got it from someone who claimed to have an "insider" source, and that he told him about the Snake Tales, for that, I honestly doubt it's true.
 
Can't wait. This is going to be my personal GOTY by far. I have no doubt in my mind that Kojima has done it again and will give us another immaculate product to play through and experience.
 
The new EGM review has me looking forward to this one again. I was trying to temper my enthusiasm after the postmodern mess that was MGS2 (IMHO of course, don't want to go down that road), but the review suggests that the story and the flow of the game are improved.

There is indeed no such thing in the Countdown book. Which is why I asked in the other thread if anyone who played it saw them in the game. Smelt like bullshit and it seems like this one is a stinker.

Anyone replaying MGS1/TTS and MGS2? That's what I intend to do just before MGS3 hits Europe :)
Click to expand...

I don't know if I have time to finish TTS and MGS2 since this week I have 2 essays and a Midterm, but I did intend to beat at least MGS2 before I get my hands on MGS3. :D
 
That box art is great. 10x better than the rendered picture of snake holding a knife that was being used on retailer sites since E3.

Well, yeah. I think we can all agree the retailer mock box art sucked major ass.
 
I want to get it so bad, but I have so much stuff to review and play...Since I work at a Nintendo-based website, I have the following lined up waiting for me to review...

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
GoldenEye: Rogue Agent
Call of Duty: Finest Hour
Baten Kaitos
Naruto 3
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
Viewtiful Joe 2
Nintendo DS (And all launch titles)

That's just me personally...Not to mention the rest of my staffers. I've already paid for Half-Life 2, which I won't get to play much...I still haven't beat GTA: San Andreas...And I'm so addicted to Halo 2 that I don't even want to play anything else. And I'm a huge Metal Gear fan...Ah God.
 
If Konami won't give the game no TV ads at all, that would be very dumb. There are scenes from the trailers, that would let jaws drop, if put effectful together in a short ad.

They didn't give The Twin Snakes a commercial...They could have made a good commercial so easily out of The Twin Snakes, that easily could have persuaded more gamers to buy the game.

They sold TTS to the Gamecube fanbase, which is much smaller than the PS2's one. The project also didn't cost much for them, so they didn't care. But this is something bigger and they should turn the fire on in the PS2 userbase that was MGS2. BTW, ads in Japan and Europe didn't help TTS either.

Futureshop has the release date at November 19. I hope they change that :\

I think Circuit City and Best Buy ads say Friday too. But the ship date is 11/17 if I rememeber from the press release
