I don't get these criticisms. Are some of you so impatient you can't wait 2 minutes before an act? Just go have a cigarette if that's your thing, or go to the loo. In fact, there's lots of things you can do within 2 minutes.

They at least said it's the best PS3 exclusive there is. With such a backhanded praise I can already see the guy who wrote that giggling with joy, then his face going back to dead serious, remembering how PS3 once fell on his kitten and killed it.

:lol

No, it's a legit criticism that will get annoying on repeat playthroughs if it's the way the people who have played the game have described.

Well, it is a legit criticism. But 2 minutes for me isn't a long time.

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.

Oh right. Wow, I need to start deleting some more demos. lol

How about the in-game installations between acts? Do those take up any considerable space?

Btw, dabookerman. It's been about a week or so since you've beaten the game? It's still leaving an impression on you, right? :D
Delete your porn too. MGS4 will serve the same purpose.

Can someone clear up the whole box situation. From the pictures i have seen it seems liek the SE EU box has tha game box inside a slide. The slide has the same box art as the game cover itself but it has a black header. Is this true for the UK SE, or is this some sort of Kuwaiht bonus deal?

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
don't think anyone answered my question, here it is again:

for the original members of MGO neogaf clan, is there a new signup period for clans or do we just keep our affiliation?

I get the feeling some reviewers still can't cut the PS3 games some slack, like they're still bitter over the console's early problems (like high price, not much of worth etc.). I bet they're reasoning "hell I paid 600$ for this shiny consoles, and I expect the games to be utterly flawless". Not saying MGS4 doesn't get some valid criticism, but everything in this topic (from the people who have played the game etc.) points to this game being nothing lower than a 9, convoluted story or not. The double standards with other games is really strange. *GTA4 I'm looking at you, and other games I won't mention out of fear of backlash*

Just so everyones clear, my post was a joke.

I could honestly give a shit if I have to wait 2 minutes, hell I'd even wait 6 or 7. Maybe 7 and a half.

I've definitely experienced worse.

Like Orphen: Scion of Sorcery on PS2. JESUS that tainted me...

After the retarded GTAIV groupthink debacle, I feel that the gaming media has lost what little credibility they had in the first place. But no, that's a separate issue. The installs before acts reeks of laziness to me.

I'd like to know this too. Hopefully the clans aren't reset and nobody has to try to recreate their awesome icons.

Because I'd rather have a menu with a chapter list that I can choose from than a ton of save files. It's not a big deal, but it's a disappointment. There's no way I'm going to have more than one MGS4 save file, so I'll just have to play it all the way through every time.

I don't get it. Why not? It's not like every save file for the game will take up 1 gig of space. I had numerous save files on all my previous MGS games, particular at parts I enjoy replaying every now and then.

They gave LO an 8 as well, and 9 to Blue Dragon, I don't think GameTM had a problem with load times, or story... or.... well I can't imagine what standards they have for PS3 games.

the surprise on the 12th for Spain is that the game will nowhere to be found since there's a road transport strike going on... and the limited edition is confirmed to hit the stores some days or even weeks after the regular edition, what a mess...

Besides, every save file comes with a specific thumbnail image that clearly depicts the scene it refers to. So it's kinda cool to have all these "chapters" icons there. It's not like one generic icon x100.

There is also a detailed text description of course.

Yup, my chastity's intact. A few of close-calls, but barrel-rolled the fuck out of there. There's no way in hell I'm gonna let anything ruin this game for me! Have you fell victim?

OMG! That's so awesome. :D:D:D

Hype Meter levels up to lvl 9001.

I'll definitely be make multiple save files now. Didn't know they added such easy accessibility and all. hehe

LOL nice. I've been lucky. Haven't been attacked through PSN, AIM, or e-mail Inbox. I've been steering clear of YouTube comments, blog comments, GameFAQs, MGS: TUS, etc. This thread has done an awesome job to stay nearly completely spoiler-free. I've had a few subtle things kinda hinted to me, but nothing major. Still haven't watched the "Courage is Solid" theatrical trailer either.

57 hours remaining. :O

You seriously would want to equate Kojima Productions lazy because of something like that. That's absurd.

Let me get this out of the way because this is said to often and it doesn't make too much sense in light of things, very few developers actually go about making their games lazily. In fact they nearly all work their butts off for their projects given the resources of skills, time, and budget. Equating the probability of efficiency and coding skills with somehow a 1:1 ratio to laziness to developers is bullshit.

It sure is, the impression of utter failure. Because this game is a load of dick cheese and no one should be getting excited over it, RIGHT GUYS?
I've been examining act 1 in detail on Big Boss Hard difficulty, gonna take my sweeeet time this time, it sure is a load of fun :3

GamesTM gave Ratchet & Clank a 6. That's all you guys need to know about that mag.
Actually, other than Uncharted (10% difference) and MotorStorm, the difference for "big" PS3 exclusives between their score and GRs average is always over 20%.

I totally forget how to check how much hard drive space is left on the PS3? :lol

Only have a 40gig so I want to make sure I have enough space for MGS4 and Wipeout HD :D

It's just, each time you want to play a different act, it has to do an install. What I don't get is, why can't it just install, and stay installed.

QFT

separate chapter-specific install files could just sit in your PS3 "Game Data" folder the same way as the main installation. And you could easily delete them if you needed the space...


patch-age? :D

Also, after completion, you can't select a particular chapter you want to play. The only way to do that is if you save a new file each time the game asks you to save.

So Basically always use a new seperate slot for the first save in each chapter and don't overwite them in the next chapter?

I have a hard time believing any game can top Snake's man thong in MGS2.

EDIT - Not to mention naked Raiden.

This is not that hard to understand. It's not worth it to me to have a handful of useless save files just to mark chapter beginnings. And really, because I don't want to. I don't like managing save data, it's not fun for me... it's a hassle. I'd prefer a menu to select chapters with in the game, and if it's not there, oh well. It's disappointing, yes, but not a big deal.

I always do this, so I'm not worried. Multiple saves in multiple slots for the win. Sounds like the only annoying thing about re-playing an act is the re-install, but whatevs.

I actually doubt people will be loading their old saves to replay anyway, given the (LE Guide spoilers)
massive amount of unlockables that require multiple playthroughs on harder difficulties to get.

Dont forget going to the second floor of any of those buildings at the very beginning and piss off some Gekkos from there...

You should make a video of the outcome.
