Porn mags........producing responses....so dirty.
Well I remember there were darts that made soldiers happy, sad, laugh etc, so I thought it meant there were different magazines that produced different emotions, and the porn ones (playboy actually, not really porn) make them happy.

Installing the patch now. ^.^

What an amazing feeling it is to insert that disc back in after what feels like eons of it sitting in that LE package on my shelf.

Yeah, enemies don't respawn in the first militia battle. And it takes between 1-10 rations at the start to get even one iPod song. :/ Considering you may have 10 at most at that point... :/

Going into the safe-house and coming back has the militia battling the PMC's where you get the Mk. 2 and I don't get any praise from them there since there's no respawning enemies.

Note: This is Liquid Easy (or whatever the lowest difficulty setting is) I dunno if Solid Normal/Solidus Hard and up has respawning enemies after the patch.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Is it out in EU?

Unfortunately not :p. It's called an emotion magazine. Depending on the page that you leave open the enemies will respond with that remotion upon reading it. For example if you leave open the Laughing Beast page the enemy will start laughing. I don't think you can acquire one by now so you have to purchase one from Drebin if you don't have one. Note that it has to be bought in Act 2.

They read it for the articles.

Thanks, I'll be in act two any minute.

I forgot I bought the (ridiculously expensive) LE version until I scrambled around for my copy earlier.
 
Do you get tranq gun on more difficult settings? I only played it on easy too.

I think you still get it as they try to provide you with all the options to take people down. It may not be given to you, but if not there is one you can pick up. I remember my harder runs and I still had the tranq option. I think there is a tranq sniper somewhere; I don't know how I would have beaten Wolf without it. I think the stun knife is a good option too.

I think I'll do a normal play through and soak up the game again through normal means. And then try to do some more trophies.
 
Going for the chicken emblem straight away, so I ran around and killed 288 guys in Act 1. Sadly, it'll probably take me a few days to get through Act 2, as I'll have to go after a lot of the emblem requirements before I get too far (or in other words, Act 3).

I thought MGS4 was 1024x768 upscaled?

You still get the tranq gun but the amount of ammo you can hold goes way down with each setting. Big Boss Extreme doesn't even let you buy tranq (or emotion) darts, so you really have to conserve your ammo.

Or hoard it and start NG+ with a bunch of it.

I got caught hiding in the trash can because my dualshock was not in a straight position so I was peeking out :( I forgot about that.

Wow, you just reminded me about the Sixaxis-functions in the game :3 I loved them!

The One Who Knocks, thanks for the trophy guide. I believe it's the first published on this forum, and I appreciate how detailed it is. Will be using it as a guide if I decide to tackle the full set

Have a fun! Enjoy!
Yes. Lay on the ground and press triangle.

But does it work? You could do that pre-patch as well, but you needed to wear the Corpse camo for AI soldiers to actually consider you dead. Without the Corpse camo they would check you and realize you are not actually dead.

You can also "reset" the camo on your suit at any time by shaking the Sixaxis.
Hey, I loved doing that too! It was an awesome addition to the gameplay!


I love to do it on cutscenes lol

No fucking way... this was possible?
 
Went to gamestop to finish paying for Persona 4, and three dudes in front of me were getting used copies of MGS4, lol. Amazing what trophies/achievements will do to a fiend...Can't wait for tonight :)

I used the militia disguise and it worked fine.
 
Installed and ready to go! I am glad that my memory of the game's story is still fresh in my mind. Aside from a few of the more amazing cutscenes (Raiden VS Vamp...end of CH3 OMFG!) I will be skipping a lot. I think I want to just concentrate on the more technical aspects of MGS4. Trying to use every weapon and see what kind of crazy shit I can do. There are gadgets and weapons that I have never even used in the game. Hopefully the trophies push me to do some things I haven't done before.

I really wished they would've added a series of VR missions along with this update. I think it would've been great to have a mode where you can cut loose with all your weapons, since the main game penalizes you for doing so.

I know I'm in the minority but man is this game overrated. So boring, 20 hours of cut scenes and 10 minutes of game-play.
