Just picked the game up today. I won't have my PS3 and TV until Sunday but my God I've never been this excited to play a game before.

Well congratulations! You got yourself caught!
THIS GAME....nothing will match its superiority for the rest of our days. Wii Fit may have conquered the market, but MGS4 has conquered creativity and design. It's all downhill from here folks, the end days have arrived, gaming will never be the same. Kojima has created NOT a brilliant game, but the death and collapse of pure thought processing in a soon to be retired medium.

I give it an 8.7/10. My highest review ever!

I've just started, but looking at the Gamespot review and the second image down, I can't help notice that
Snake looks young and has black hair.
Is that a spoiler?

No, I wouldn't really consider it a spoiler.
It happens fairly early in act 3, and it's
a camoflage.

So what you're trying to say is, MGS4 will make other developers lose their motivation?
I almost buy it

Haha. the
dream sequence
before Act IV started was great.
I can't believe they have you do that part of MGS1 again and then give you the MGS1 FaceCamo!

Man at the start of act II
I cant just LEAVE them on the ground can I? I mean isnt there some way to help the captured rebels out without having them get massacred even after they had a chance to get weapons?

Tried to do some fast action sniping, but they still got cut down later.

58 kills through the first act. Terrible. I couldn't bypass the frogs portion any other way than to kill them. 19 alerts, so not too bad there. I'm going to try to reduce killing as much as possible from here on out.

No CQC kills/actions. I can't seem to do it right. It's been mainly tranquilizers... which are what I used most in MGS2 too.

Finally finished.

I must be a retard, one thing in particular was lost on me:

ENDING SPOILERS
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?
Click to expand...

They didn't program it to do that. The proxy AIs did. Note that Big Boss mentioned it also killed EVA and Ocelot in the end as well.

I will say that even though they didn't formally tie into the game's beginning, they did help draw me into the game world. There's something really eerie about those shows.

Sniping does the job. They open up that door for you too

I forgot to mention how disappointed I was with one thing... :(

The underutilized codec! After the crews of people you could call in the first 3 games (esp. 1 and 3, 2's was even a bit lacking), we only get Otacon and Rose here? :(!!! The codec interactions have always been one of my favourite parts of the series, and there's just nothing here.

guys... which song did Ennio Morricone supposedly do? In the credits, he's credited for "Ending title" or something, but that song in particular is nowhere on the OST that comes with the LE. So what songs did he work on exactly?

Lost all credibility.
I just finished act 2.
After what Naomi said about the consequences of FoxDie's mutations, I'm starting to get an idea of why Snake feels the need to put a gun to his mouth.

Continuing on to Act 2 and still enjoying myself. However, I have to say it and I'm probably going to be in the MASSIVE minority...

I really, really dislike Hayter's Snake. I guess it's more accurate to say I dislike the take the voice director went with for his voice. I tolerated it in the previous games, but in MGS4 everyone else around Snake sound so so good (so far) and more natural compared to Snake who sounds like he's really struggling with the voice.

To my ears, it really sticks out. It's not ruining the experience or anything close to that. It's just something I noticed. I shall now brace for impact.

Oh yeah, Act 1 was fuck AWESOME.

I beat the game earlier today. It was a fantastic experience the whole way through.

I took one picture during the game, and it revealed something neat that I wouldn't have noticed otherwise.

Act III spoiler:
The three robotic armed things that were dressed in a white jacket and hat that follow you into the church actually follow you while you're trailing the resistance member. I took a picture of the resistance member when he was peeing in the park, and lo and behold the jacketed robot thing is there peeking at him. :lol

I'm surprised I didn't notice it when I was playing the actual game. Maybe I'll look for it next time.

My mind must have lapsed and missed a few important details.
Proxy AIs? You don't mean the three accompanying AIs to GW, do you? And when did they insert this program into Snake?

I've gotta say, the nanomachine phenomenon as the cure-all to solutions or the cause-all to problems got really frustrating and annoying as the game progressed.

Also, wtf? You're still required to install game data on a replay at Act intervals? Seriously?

This is as far as I have got, and I can only agree. I would be happy if Kojima developed a / the Tintin game. That is the highest praise I am able to offer.

I just noticed Lisbeth Scott did the vocals for the ending theme. Shit, I loved her voice in Paul Schwartz's State of Grace albums. Who ever produced the soundtrack certainly has an ear for talent. I'm finding new awesomness in this game without even playing it. :D

If you are at the part where he switches to the guard suit, look for a guard that seems to be wandering by himself and you hear a whistling sound. Also if that doesn't help look for a guard with a somewhat irregular helmet.

Is this on the Nomad? I haven't really roamed with the Mk. II but I'll check the next time.

I'm really surprised at the Apple product placements in the game. I'm glad global war is being fought with classy computers. :D

Well apparently Kojima just felt the fucking urge to give me the one thing I was hoping for, concerning act 4. I'm just going to remain calm about it and keep playing.

Holy shit I just finished the game. What a ride. Can't wait to start up another game. The beginning of the game seems like a distant memory, and I can't wait to get back to it. And I haven't even tried Metal Gear Online yet. GOTY.

yeah, I noticed it when I decided to go through the briefings to pick up items

IMPORTANT!:

If you didn't go on the nomad with the mk II on the first playthrough, or at least, up until the 4th mission briefing, if you pick up the camera on the 4th mission briefing, exclusive photos of naomi and sunny are included with the camera.

Just finished Act 3. Absolute perfection! That cutscene for the end of Act 3 was stunning in so many ways. This is the absolute GOTY, no doubt about it

Just killed
Laughing Octopus
and the experience so far has been underwhelming. I feel a lot of the older gameplay mechanics don't get along with the 'open battlefield' mechanic they are trying to go for. Act 1 was a lot more enjoyable, and didn't feel quite as linear as Act 2.

Graphics and sound are amazing, though.

I also got Ratchet & Clank, so I'm looking forward to playing that as well. I'm downloading updates to my PS3 as I type this. What should I check out on the Playstation Store/PSN?
