Tranq Sniper Rifle is perfect for that, but I had to wait until my second time for the points. The first time I just used RPG's

You are insane. But yes lots and lots and lots and lots of story is coming. You freak.
Act 2:
Btw, this game is fucking incredible. I was just as hyped for MGS4 as GTA4 and GTA ended up being such a disappointment. MGS4 has fully lived up, and graphics wise, surpassed my expectation. After Act 1 the graphics pick up and look incredible.
I think I just fucked myself over something awful. Naomi was just taken away and now I'm assuming I have to fight Laughing Octopus soon plus all these Frogs. The problem is I'm all out of every kind of recovery item. This is going to be hard.

Well, Big Mama revived Big Boss before Act 3 happened, Naomi at the end of Act 4, so sometime between Beginning of Act 3 and End of Act 4 makes sense
Hey guys:
(Scanned it so that clear part came out blurry)
Im letting it charge now...really hope those GAF impressions from the other topic were right (all were positive and used in other games such as COD4 or tested on phones as well). But do I REALLY have to let it charge for 8 hours?
How do you wear it correctly? Just slip it on your ear? The headset feels sturdy but really light on your ear.

I just beat the game after playing 22 hours straight. This was, by far, the most intense gaming experience I've ever had since Snake Eater (which i also beat in one straight session).
Once again, Metal Gear Solid raises the bar even higher.
Don't listen to those who try to be over-critical of this game.

I don't remember all that and my PS3 is getting some rest right now.
One thing did happen while I was playing that blew my mind. Basically,
in Act 2 I was killing a bunch of enemies, shot down a helicopter, and caused all sorts of shit to happen. Then Snake randomly stops and throws up as you hear Liquid saying "YOU ENJOY ALL THE KILLING! THATS WHY!". Amazing.

I'm so damn hyped now I just can't wait for sunday!
Gonna spoiler this just to be safe, it's regarding no kill/alert runs.
So does anyone have a reliable set of "rules" for no death/alert runs? The latter is cautions are ok, alerts are not, I'm fairly certain, but what of kills? What's ok? As of right now I'm guessing anything that gives you "points" is fair game, but what about chase scenes, or indirect kills (like shooting a guy off a moving vehicle). Are are the Beauties ok to kill Phase 1 with anything, and then just tranq their out of armor phase? Anything else to be aware of?
Beauty and the Beast battles
I wonder if doing this affects the game in anyway?
I didn't know I was supposed to beat the girls after their armor was off without killing them. I just shot laughing octopus to death, but you are able to just wear down their physce gauges and they just collapse in exhaustion. I let them grab me, then just shook them off, then pressed triangle and it flips them; do it 4 times and they give up; even with more than half their life left. You get different cut scenes as well.

just finished the game and absolutely loved it, but i was kind of disappointed with the length.
I played on solid normal or the 3rd option and beat the game in 16hrs. I read earlier that the game was 20-25 hrs so when i was nearing the end i was always hoping there would be something to prolong the length to make it reach 20+ hrs but that never happened.
But it's still the best game i ever played.
How come there isn't a movie theatre to watch all the cutscenes like in MGS3?

Done!
I'll post a few more thoughts and dig my stats(they won't be pretty) up once the last couple hours of cutscenes are over. Awesome awesome game.

It's nice to read all the posts here about how amazing it gets starting with Act 3 -- I just finished Act 2 and came to post about how unbelieveably amazing that was. It's hard to imagine it getting even better :lol
This is easily one of the most polished games I've ever played. And unless it changes drastically for the worse, it's also one of the greatest.

video message or something. It is one of those things that doesn't need to be explained like how Big Boss took Zero to where Snake was at the exact time and place.

I got bored and was like fuck it. Lets just run in there while people were shooting AND then i found a window on the opposite side of the house :lol
Finally finished.
I must be a retard, one thing in particular was lost on me:
ENDING SPOILERS
Major jaw-dropping moments of note:
The BB Unit was a fascinating part of this game, I liked.
MGS3 definitely left me with a much greater sense of....completion, amazement and so on, than this game, which kind of depresses me. I certainly loved MGS4, and am so looking forward to replaying it, the gameplay is just fucking fantastic. I'm just in the crowd with the rest of you who aren't copacetic with where the storyline went in the final few acts.

Nevermind the fact that all character motivations get shifted/mangled/reverse/fucked up to hell in the last two hours of the game, I managed to sift through all of that, I think. I mean, I kind of threw my hands up in disgust and gave up when Liquid finally just announces that he kind of wants exactly what Snake's been fighting for all of this time. WTF. But anyway, my question: why exactly does the modern Pats crew (Eva/Ocelot/Naomi) program the second Foxdie to kill Big Boss? Where the fuck did that come from?
Major jaw-dropping moments of note:
Sigint was the DARPA chief!
EVA was the twins' mother!
Big Boss scrolling by in the credits, which come to a crazy dramatic halt!
EVA's Act 3 Church speech, where basically all is revealed: finding out who the Patriots were was huge.
Returning to Shadow Moses!
The final battle; which was completely awesome in every way, except sadly for its control scheme. I didn't think it could get worse than the original controls for fighting Liquid atop Rex, but they managed somehow. Every other part of the fight saved it, esp. reusing the alert tracks from MGS 1 and 2.
And finally, the motorcycle chase sequence in Act 3; holy motherfuck, amazing. Blasting some dude off a tank while upside-down in bullet time, as Snake on his mama's hog...it's like, WUT? Crazy.
