I just finished the first act and holy shit this game delivered in spades. It's even exceeding the unreasonable expectations that I had going in.

I went to WAGs boutique and all I got was a sniff
I've been playing for about 5 hour straight. I cant remember the last time I've played a game for so long in one sitting. I'd carry on playing but the football is on/
I'm still on act 1. I just got upto the bit where
The best bit so far is
A big part of what makes this game so much fun is the shooting. The shooting mechanics in this are very very good, its a huge improvement over the previous games.

you meet the beauty and the beast crew
The fight with the frog unit. That was a lot of fun.

Pressing left and right on your controller let you change the channel you were viewing. I spotted a few ads for the PMC companies found in the game. Was pretty cool and gave you a quick context on what everyone else in the world of MGS4 must be seeing.

That's good to know. So are the bundles limited or are they going to keep producing more? If they're smart, they'll keep on making more.

I can't say how much I missed the Japanese version of Liquid-Snake (or Liquid-Ocelot to be precise).
Awesome cut-scene! (and spoilers of course!)

I'm still on act 1, but the story has confused me already. Its the bit where
explains that stuff to do with the PMC's. I'm not sure I fully get it. This is what I understood
Is that the gist of it or is there anything else I need to know?

-Every soldier has an ID. They need this to use guns.
-There's a system in place called SOP that allows soldiers to co-operate.
-The PMCs cant retaliate against the nation that hired them because the system prevents them from firing a gun at their allies.

Pretty much, they're basically just robots in a sense. Leaders have complete control over them.
Ok while I sit here at work counting the seconds to go back to this game I have a question:
What difficulty level should I start at? I've played through MGS1, MGS2, & MGS3 and beaten them all twice individually. Is the hard mode frustrating enough to just picked the "skilled" difficulty or should I just go balls to the wall?

Dont worry. For the first hour or so I was dreadful. Now I'm finding it very comfortable. It just takes a little time to get used to the controls.Lakitu said:

I'm playing on the second difficulty up from the easiest, I think it's called Naked Normal, and I think it's pretty good. It's still not terribly easy to die, but it's kept me on my toes somewhat. I think the next difficulty up may prove to be rough for a first time playthrough.

Dude, my goodness. The whole process of getting the game up and running was ridiculous. Installation, patch download, patch installation, character creation, getting on the same server as your friends. All of that takes between 4-6 hours depending on any knowledge you have of the installation process and your PC specs. :lol

The thing I still dont get is, if someone wanted to put together their own personal army, couldnt they do it without all the hassle of
putting the SOP system in the soldiers?

More detailed impressions time from last night, most of you guys played the first three hours so you saw what I saw, incredible insn't it. Most of the areas I played were stuff I have seen in trailers, gameplay demonstrations and MGO, so I am blown away and its been stuff I have seen, what is going to happen when i get to the new areas. Ok so a quick run down of pros and cons.
Pros:
- Everything about the gameplay, presentation, sound, graphics, cutscenes, this game is on a different level of quality than most games.
- Helping out soldiers gets you hidden songs, love that.
- Mission codec calls come in as you play the game, perfect.
- So many guns I don't know what to do with them.
- Size of the areas, I feel like I did miss some stuff cause its so big.
- You are not a bullet sponge, I have died a few times already.
- Gekkos, wow.
- Ipod is sweet, but I wont mess with it till next playthrough.
Cons:
- Weapon/item menu management, give me all these guns and only let me carry 5 at a time...
- Seems to be less codec convos, I went into a cardboard box, called Otacon and got nothing. But the dumpster convo is funny.
- I found some respawn points for enemies, I liked that in past games you can clear an area of enemies not so here but I guess that is needed to keep the war going.
- I have so many rations, thankfully I can trade them.
Just minor things that bugged me, no matter the game is fantastic. I also setup MGO and played one game on the city map from MGS3, OMG, its incredible, one of my favorite maps is back.
Ok now back to play. Time for the FROGS.

Behind The Games
Absinthe said:
I am playing on standard set.
You'll probably have trouble reading some of the finer text, like the info that appears over any soldiers you see while wearing the Solid Eye. But you'll be able to tell friendlies from enemies based on text color. There are a few other things that are hard to read, but it hasn't impacted my play experience significantly yet. And I'm through Act One.
As with so many other games this gen, the graphics look amazing on a standard set. Don't assume you need a high-def TV to be blown away. The graphics look phenomenal on my standard Sony set.
