Would it be possible to get a version of this without the CG characters. Just pure Shinkawa?

 

[Barrett2]

Oh God, the internet is in total chaos. One of my IRL friends has fallen to the spoilers.

There goes hanging out with him tomorrow. :lol

If he starts saying anything MGS related, use some CQC on him.

damn this shyt has gotten bad!

I'm still checking them out to see the gameplay "spoilers" if you can call them that. Since I don't care about the gameplay I want to know what I should expect and what options, surprises etc will there be to make that part of the game more bearable for me. Things like the list of unlockables etc that make it more interesting.

You're so weird :lol

 

[TheRagnCajun]

That really bums me out. You can sprint the game in 5 hours? Gah.

meh. I've seen Fallout done in just over 9 minutes

Speedruns don't necessarily reflect how much 'gameplay' there is.

 

[Klone.K]

Anyway, none of these are spoilers but some interesting things I picked up while browsing various forums. So far I've been carefull enough to avoid any story spoilers beyond the first one I slipped into.

-The ending seems to be very divisive.
-The amount of gameplay/cutscene ratio is apparently a step back from MGS3's more balanced distribution.
-The story is a mindfuck. I mean I can pretty much confirm this just from the one spoiler I've read, Kojima goes batshit insane in this one. You will definitely need to replay this to grasp everything thrown at you.
-As far as gameplay unlockables there's a shitload and I actually found them really amusing. They'll definitely make the gameplay more fun.

 

[Crateman]

Ok, this is worse than I thought. Thank god all of my browsing right now consist of GAF, Facebook -I don't have any "gamer" friends, so I'm pretty safe- and site without any kind of gaming related content. I still read my RRS feeds from gaming news sites, but I avoid any kind of comments or whatsoever.

You'd be hard pressed to find a game that can't be sped through in under 5 hours

Son of a bitch where are people getting this so early?

All of this sounds good to me.

 

[Fina1e]

Leaked in the UK supposedly.

 

[Yoboman]

Leaked in the UK supposedly.

I'm pretty sure it's Australia. But maybe both

 

[Sallokin]

Leaked in the UK supposedly.

Cheeky bastards!!! Looks like I'm trying my luck at all my local K-marts this weekend. They pulled through for me when it came to getting Mass Effect early.

AVOID (at least for the next 7 days) ANY Youtube links. Seriously, I mean any. There have been coded links posted in the descriptions of several newer youtube Video`s that lead to either spoilerific MGS4 images or to a massive thread spoiling the entire ending in giant fonts. These video's have all been posted the past 2 hours of varrying subjects (apparently one is hidden in an Obama victory speech video) and other seemingly unrelated video's as well. The casualties are mounting on gamefaqs massively. hell...Just plain AVOID youtube. It's only a matter of time before video's with spoilers in the title overflow the site. ;__;

This is starting to border on the absurd. How much pleasure can you take in spoiling people you've never met?

No shit...This is worse than GTA4 and Halo3 combined.

btw, your avatar makes me read your posts with an Otacon voice in mind. Sounds really funny XD

I could... you know... talk dirty if you want...

 

[Chamber]

MGS spoilers = serious business

Cut your ethernet cables, folks.

 

[Klone.K]

I could... you know... talk dirty if you want...

lmfao, that's fucking creepy man XD
Especially cuz cant help but envision him saying that to seduce his

Spoiler

stepmother

before banging her.

 

[Klone.K]

One problem with the storyline people are mentioning...This quote by a gamefaq member pretty much sums it up.

"That's the simple truth because MGS4 takes retconning to such an extreme level that every other game in the series might as well be non-canon"

I really hope that's an exagguration by like...9000%

SHIT JUST GOT REAL, SON!!!

This makes me feel like in a real state of emergency!:lol

The only thing I would want to know about the game has to deal with an image that was posted here on GAF last week. The image was taken at some kind of press event where people where playing MGS4. The image sparked a lot of discussion and people where theorizing about it. I've seen the image and I would like to confirm what it showed... I don't want anybody responding, but it's something I would like to know... Hell, if I already saw the image, at least I want confirmation.
---

I like the fact that people are reporting that the story is a complete mindfuck. That's what I loved about MGS2 and having the same level of complexity is great for me.

I didnt confirm or even imply anything guys. 0_o Just that I got spoiled about something.

 

[Sallokin]

Heh, unfortunately the one spoiler I read involved that image. ;_;

I'm like 10 seconds away from hitting up Gamefaqs. I need to cut off my hands for 7 days.

 

[Y2Kev]

blah blah blah

Please just stop quoting from there. I don't want to know anything about that shithole for the next six days.

 

[Crateman]

*something something*

Well... at least that image posted long ago got me REALLY pumped about the story. It's just like if I had ripped the corner of one of my Christmas presents and now I know that I'll be getting an SNES cart. I don't know which, but at least I know it's a SNES cart

 

[Yoboman]

Indeed, stop fucking quoting that stuff Klone K

 

[jiggle]

sorry u got spoiled Klone, but your posts are starting to crossover into spoiler territory without actually writing out the actual spoiler. at least use spoiler tags omg.

 

[Chamber]

Yeah, the various warnings are much appreciated but chill with the spoiler hints.

 

[SpudBud]

If you have your PSN tag listed in your GAF profile I recommend you remove it.

Some fucks were able to spoil Halo 3 for some of us by messaging our gamertags.

The next week is going to be hell. :/

 

[Klone.K]

HOLY FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I was browsing a fucking celebrity blog and a FUCKNORMOUS MGS4 image was poosted in it!! The spoiler was fucking gargantuan I mean...fuck...I feel raped now.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck

I'm seriously depressed now, fuckery. Fuck

 

[Red Blaster]

Jeez, shut up.

 

[-COOLIO-]

6 DAYS!

*waits for banner before he bails again*

 

[Kagari]

Fuck fuck fuck fuck

Jesus Christ; it looks like this has turned into a massive situation. This is total lock down, people. It's time to create a short list of websites you can trust, and do not deviate from them!

 

[MisterSINISTER]

man I'm glad I'm going to be in the virgin islands, away from the Internet for
the next 7 days. I get to come home unspoiled and pick it up the next day.

Bad luck, but you should've taken your own advice and avoided comment sections of sites. Don't take it out on us

 

[brandonh83]

This is the only place I feel safe. I hope it stays that way, too. If I can successfully come to this thread and continue discussion without being spoiled until I beat the game, I will seriously write a love letter to GAF.

 

[Lifeonmars?]

My God, this is ridiculous.

 

[Bulla564]

Screw MGS4. Sneaking around the internet without getting spoiled is the best game Kojima has created.

I'm living on the edge even by being in this thread.

 

[dralla]

Don't look out your windows, I just looked outside and there was some guy holding up a sign with MGS4 spoilers!! wTFZZZ

 

[-COOLIO-]

wait, why do you feel safe here? im just here to see if the OP updates the banner BUT IM NERVOUS AS FUCK.

 

[scoobs]

DAMN you internet... i will defeat you

 

[Klone.K]

Jesus Christ; it looks like this has turned into a massive situation. This is total lock down, people. It's time to create a short list of websites you can trust, and do not deviate from them!

Im fucking freaked out, Im seriously not taking my chances anymore Im plain not going anywhere but this thread til the 12th. I mean FUCK, whyd that damn fuck have to post a completely unrelated gigantic fucking spoiler image??!!

There is no site you can trust...This one seems to be the only one so far thats been safe.
Seriously fucking assholes that are spoiling this game for fun should bhe shot.

 

[Crateman]

Ok. Now I'm really, really scared. Seriously.

If things are as bad as they are now tomorrow, then now I'll really pull the plug and avoid everything outside my safe MSN, Facebook and 1Up Podcasts.

I'll start kissing goodbye my RSS reader and NeoGAF... yes, even the OT.

its true :O

kojima = genius

neogaf is the first mission and gamefaqs is the final boss >___>

:lol

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

My...god...is nowhere safe now? We...we're surrounded....it's spreading people, it's SPREADING!! I'm scared!

Someone hold me!!

 

[brandonh83]

wait, why do you feel safe here? im just here to see if the OP updates the banner BUT IM NERVOUS AS FUCK.

well compared to everywhere else on the internet, this feels like an... outer... haven. I mean yes that could change on THIS PAGE.

 

[Stench]

Okay, if you've been spoiled,

a) No one gives a rat's ass;

b) DON'T WRITE ANY STUPID FUCKING "HINTS" THAT GIVE PASSIVE REFERENCES TO THE TWISTS WITHIN THE GAME

 

[-COOLIO-]

as the days go on we'll start dropping like flies (in the sense that we'll smacked upside the head by spoilers one by one), until only a select few can play mgs4 in all its unspoilered glory.
