May I also say that holy cow this game has a lot of unlockables (some incredibly brutal to get).
Thank you, Kojima. <3

I'm early on in Act 3 and holy crap this game is awesome.
The chase sequence and the escape from the town that the gekkos are ripping apart were both jaw dropping scenes, not to mention the badassery of Raiden and Vamp. The end of Act 2 was probably one of the best fight sequences of ever seen in a game. I haven't done much in Act 3 yet but it looks phenomenal. I honestly can't imagine how it could get better.

Is it okay to take 7 hours to finish Act 1? i was busy looking for items actually so I guess it's normal? Oh i'm playing on Big Boss Hard just for the hell of it :lol
I took a picture right before Act 1 ended. [digi cam picture]

I've been so scared to click on this topic, and now I'm scared to read anything in here.
All I know is that I'm about 5 hours into the game and holy fucking shit is it amazing. It's a masterpiece. Anyone that says otherwise has bad taste.
Seriously, I thought GTA4 would be my game of the year, and I loved GTA4, but this is quite a bit better than GTA4. The gameplay is just phenomenal. The sneaking is better than ever. This is how I always wanted metal gear games to play, and just based on the first five hours this game is head and shoulders above the others, and that's saying a lot in my book. What a fucking fun game.

What a fucking fun game. I've never seen so many people soil themselves either. My wife who only likes Rock Band even found the Akiba (sp?) scene hilarious. She thinks the game is goofy, but I think she finally understands why I appreciate the humor in these games

Act 3 is an incredible visual achievement. The colors and atmosphere and everything is just amazing. I just wish there was more gameplay in that act, it was very lean compared to the first two, mostly cutscene.
The chase segments are awesome... you can actually use the cinematic camera as a strategy and let it focus on a target, then start shooting. It works so well, the second one is such an exquisitely crafted setpiece.

image taken right after beginning of Act 2.

Image I took using the in-game digital camera <3. This was during SP game. I like the 2P mode but i would rather it not be an item i have to keep open just to take a picture but it sure is going to be great during those epic boss battles. Love it

I have to say i was a bit disappointed at first. The graphcs sure took a hit since the first trailers, with quite a few edges on models, a few low res textures, and horribly pixelated shadow maps during the very first real time cutscene and not even a perfectly solid framerate, moreover i found menus a little too cumbersome (partly becuse the options with weapons and items and the infos you're given seem quite overwhelming at first) but i soon got used to controls and menu navigation and holy shit do graphics improve constantly during the first and second act.
Game often mixes real footage with cg and at the beginning of Act 2 i was sure i was looking at real footage until the camera panned on Snake's model. Holy shit, the lighting there is perfect. Was it really that well done
or were my eyes playing tricks on me ? oh well, i'll get to see it again anyway since i got maybe halfway the second act in one session and thought i had auto save on..but didn't, so i'll have to play act 2 again from the beginning.

I think I've decided to be totally irrational with anyone who thinks this game doesn't look good.Its easy to bitch about a tiny thing but my God
I give 5/5 forks
The bike chase in act3 and the shadow moses wind/snow effect are insane!!!! Just being on the bike is the first time I think I've ever felt like I was playing a FWV. And the boss fights, holy hell the boss fights!! All in open areas, all intense and dynamic; Climbing that tower shooting rockets at raging raven while the walls and ceiling are blown apart was outstanding. The fight with crying wolf was the most intense one IMO (so far). Are there tiny things that bothered me yes, but right now I love the story, the direction, the vastly diverse gameplay...everything!! I'm rambling now but its just so freaking epic.

When Snake kills a certain number of people or combos (not sure what the trigger is)
.
I assume they used library tracks from TTS. It would be cool if
recorded some new dialogue (say needed for a 5.1 mix) and got some extra change.
I am so happy!
Oh Act 2 related, no doubt in my mind

I just realized the clock doesn't stop when it's paused! I've had the game running since I got it at 10 this morning, and during that time I took a 4 hour nap, ate dinner, cut the grass, took a shower, and goofed around on forums. I'm already 13 hours in according to the clock, and I'm still on Act 1! :lol

After 14 straight hrs of MGS4 goodness, I'm calling it quits. I thought I could pull off beating it in one day. Eh.. anywho, I'm stuck on a certain boss in act 5.. tips?
Off topic, but does anyone know where I can find a Jabra BT125 AC charger or at least another USB cable that goes to it? My logitech USB headset wont output through it's speaker for some reason (works just fine on my PC...) so my bluetooth is the only option I have for PS3 communication and MGS4 ingame transmissions.
