just a matter of opinion, in poll form for those who are finished, which involves no spoilers whatsoever:


i consider mgs3 to be the strongest of the series, in story and effective storytelling. does this one top it or your top mgs of choice?

what aspect did it for you, if you don't mind me asking as well

actually no. my favorite is the 3rd as well. this one just has too much "LOL Drama" moment's.

With how much of that being cutscenes/codec-talk?

probably most of it. :lol

I finished it in 24 hours.

 

[Blablurn]

i should have started on easy -_-

 

[djkimothy]

I don't have it yet. What difficulty options are provided on first play through? I usually start on hard. Or 1 above normal.

 

[alr1ght]

GREAT SUCCESS!!

Showed up at Walmart @ 8, they opened @ 7. Walked to electronics to find 3 MGS3 Bundles still there. Also got the giftcard no problem.

 

[MattNY]

dam you lucky people, i have to wait 6 - 7 hours more to play.

Same here..My mind most assuredly is not on work this morning.

 

[acm2000]

well thats what i mean ... i don't want to be put on jpn servers if the people i wanna play are NZ/aus


if the game does put you on regionalised servers ... what determines which server region ..the game or the console.

i have a NZ ps3, if i put a asian MGS4 in it will i be able to play fellow kiwi's /aussies?

so those of you with import games runing on yr locallu sourced consoles ...can you see your local mates online in the game or are they all foreigners ?

it would be the game that decides, not the console, i dont see it changing from MGO beta to the final version.

ie, live in europe, jap ps3, euro game, you would get euro servers

 

[mattiewheels]

has anyone watched their bluray documentaries yet? does it make you feel like the LE was worth the extra price? i'm wondering wether i should just save the money and buy the regular copy.

 

[womfalcs3]

Leaving in one hour to get it. I'll run an errand then make my way to Circuit City, which opens at 10 AM (Why open at 10? 9 at the latest.).

 

[Pezking]

FUCK! Spoiler-alert!

Don't go in Extras -> Online -> Music!

There's currently one track available for download, and in it's description there's a huge spoiler.

konami put a spoiler for their own game, in the dlc audio track? :lol

 

[GSG Flash]

Got the last PS3 80 gig bundle in stock from Walmart at 7 fucking 20 in the morning. This thing may be more popular than I thought it would be, I mean it sold out 20 mins after the store opened.

 

[$h@d0w]

Got my euro LE.

This is so geeky to admit this but I cried a bit on the intro - I've been looking forward to this game for too long

 

[ZiZ]

konami put a spoiler for their own game, in the dlc audio track? :lol

their trailers are full of spoilers.

 

[Resident Guru]

Holy shit this game is awesome! I so believe! Fantastic graphics, and incredible sound design, wow this game uses the rear channels well!

 

[Kibbles]

Wow the GameTrailers review comments are insane (on the site), apparently 9.3 is not a good score. *rolls-eyes*

 

[burgerdog]

30 more minutes for me! Already took a shower, ate, did dishes, and vacuumed! All that is left to do is wait for gs to open so I can go pick it up and then play! I'm so excited, especially after waking up and reading gaf's impressions, omgggg. I could not sleep at all last night even though I was batshit tired :lol

 

[Safe Bet]

I just couldn't resist...

Hopefully one day, I'll be able to get the strategy guide and gamecase signed by members of the team.

*cross fingers*

BTW

I'm 36,419/43,000

 

[Blablurn]

I need help ._. It's about the second boss fight!

Spoiler

Otacaon says Raging Raven overheats after some time. but where can i find her when she is cooling down? i guess this is the best time to attack her

 

[psycho_snake]

I've just been getting used to the controls for the first hour of playing, so I've been taking my time, but so far so good.

 

[Pezking]

Yes.

The track is called

Spoiler

Conclusion

, and it's description says:

Spoiler

"A song representing Old Snake's will to fight as he once again confronts his archenemy, Liquid."

And at the same time, the Blu-ray comes with a warning-flyer for spoilers...

I avoided all trailers since TGS, and now this crap happens right before I start the game!

 

[acm2000]

well, depends what you class as a spoiler, some people are so bloody anal, SSBB thread was a great example, really quite pathetic

MGS4 got! DS3 got!

Lets go

 

[Safe Bet]

I'm only a couple hours in but my mind is already wondering...

First Hour Spoiler - Minor:

Spoiler

If he remebers The Boss, Snake must have inherieted memories from Big Boss somehow.

IIUC

This is believed scientifically impossible but until fairly recently so was human instinct (inherited behavior).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociobiology

- Sociobiology has become one of the greatest scientific controversies of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, especially in the context of explaining human behavior. Criticism, most notably made by Richard Lewontin and Stephen Jay Gould, centers on sociobiology's contention that genes play a central role in human behavior and that variation in traits such as aggressiveness can be explained by variation in peoples' biology and is not necessarily a product of the person's social environment. Many sociobiologists, however, cite a complex relationship between nature and nurture.

Did an IGN score (or gamespot) come in yet?

Nope.

 

[DenogginizerOS]

For those who bought the hardcover guide, what is in there that makes it a collectible?

 

[SonOfABeep]

Two questions for people who were out buying MGS4-

Is the LE really worth an extra $25? It seems to be having pretty poor resale value.

Did the stores you were at have a lot of 80GB Bundle units? or were they scarce, and getting sold out?

 

[nextwish]

Got my hands on the Japanese LE as well today. Here's some close up shots:

Spoiler

to ease up the battle, buy a bazooka or something like it from Drebin, go to the top of the building or the floor below it, and wait for her to show up, the time I beat her she was flying all around the building, she is slow and bigger than the unnamed things those are flying next to her, If you need Drebin points just shoot down unnamed flying things.

 

[No_Style]

Got my hands on the Japanese LE as well today. Here's some close up shots:

I'm jealous of the tin case and superior cover art.

3 hours til I pick it up.
8 hours til I get to play.

 

[GSG Flash]

Sold out within 20 mins at my local Walmart (I got the last one ), don't know what the situation's liek elsewhere but I expect it to be sold out everywhere for the rest of the week.

 

[Mattlikewhoa]

I'm up and ready to go...I pick it up in 45 mins and I'm excited as hell!!! I can't believe I actually was able to sleep last night...Thanks Nyquil:lol

If its going to go up in value, its going to take awhile imo.

I saw alot of people buying LEs last night.

 

[DJmizuhara]

I picked these up on the way home from work...

 

[revolverjgw]

God, this game is so fun, experimental players are going to have a field day. I've been messing around killing and sneaking and playing with the gear and weapons and toying with the friendly and unfriendly AI and exploring every nook and cranny and running from Gekkos and bothering Otacon and even changing the color of the windows. This might take me 40 hours to beat.

 

[Double D]

So does anyone have an idea what in the FUCK the

Spoiler

intro was about? (the gameshow thing :lol

Yeah, I came here to post this. This is my only other MGS game besides 2, so I was really baffled at what was going on. At one point I looked at my receiver to make sure the input didn't switch to TV.

Anyways, the game is awesome so far. I've probably only played an hour, but it has been some pretty great stuff. Glad I bought into the hype

 

[Naked Snake]

Sorry for the crappy cell phone quality. It was the best I can do.

What are your impressions of the art book?

 

[burgerdog]

9 hours late, but I GOT IT!! LE IN MY HANDS! WOooooooooo

 

[Everdred]

Is the game going to actually be in Gamestop today? Or does it just ship today?

 

[Safe Bet]

What are your impressions of the art book?

Not looking inside of it until I finish the game.

 

[Safe Bet]

It's in the store this very moment.
