Yeah, mine was as well. I'd post the picture if I knew how to upload it.
I guess I could just take a picture of my TV.
Just stopping by to say I just finished Act 3. (4 is installing right now) I gotta say; I thought I was over MGS' ways of storytelling- I've cringed a few times where I wouldn't have before had I played it at the same age and with the same mindset as I played the others and I've checked my watch several times- but, oh my god, that act was just... wow. The single best
Anyway, heading out to play Act 4.
on rails sequence in any game ever followed by one of Kojima's finest cinematic (Which, while something of a dubious honor, is still worth noting.)

It has to be something that gets automatically added to your picture, I refuse to believe I was tailing the guy for so long and thinking he's not being very careful since he can't spot me yet I was being tailed the whole time.

I've been playing for a while now. I'm doing better than I did in the beta. I guess the seventeen or so hours of single player helped out.

Seriously guys...is there any other game that was as amazing as MGS4.
The epicness level is over 9000!!!!!
There are plenty of great games out there...but the story and presentation of those games arent as good as I tought tehy would be. MGS4 smashes everything away. I mean it.

Actually, I kind of understand what happened then.
While I was stalking him, I noticed someone leaning around the corner at one point. When I ran over to see who it was, it wasn't there anymore.

I just got to Act 2 and I wasted all the PMC's instead of trying to sneak through. Anyways, I see the Dragonuv(SVD) and I don't know how to get to it. How do I do it or is it not possible and they're just teasing me.

Act 5 says 'hi' it is literally one screen a boss fight, and two hallways. That's like 20 minutes if you know what you are doing, if that. Act 4 is cool in that is intentionally a throwback to MGS1, but the enemies are boring as fuck. Act 3 is pretty much a follow sequence and a rail shooter, not much there. The gameplay never comes close to the first two acts.
The game DOES have serious flaws, as much as I love it, and they were more important to the Edge and Eurogamer guys than they were to some people. If you never like MGS much, there is nothing in this game to change your mind really. I loved the series and felt a bit let down by the later gameplay. There are 8 hours of cinemas, the game can be beat in under 5 (if you know what you are doing, and this includes scenes like
the long hallway of death, and the beauty fights, which are barely gameplay.
If that bothers you a lot, you will rate it lower.
I would have spoilered that part, but as I have had some poiler Snafu's of my own... who am I to judge.
Anyhow, some of the cinemas are pre-rendered, but I agree the game does look amazing. That's what a limitless budget can do for you.
The game does some cool stuff, and all. But MGS has never been movie caliber. The pacing of the games, and the pacing of films are COMPLETELY different. The 8 hours of cinematics could have likely been done in 2. But then it wouldn't have been Kojima.
The highs in this game were phenominal, and the lows were still pretty damned impressive, but overall I still feel that MGS1 and MGS3 were better games.
i finished it again last night, the game will definitely go down as one of the best games ever. heck, everyone has theyre own personal best game ever, and its probably just the incredible gaming high that ive experienced over the last few days, but to me, mgs4 is, the greatest game ever made. some people talk the zeldas, the final fantasy's the marios, as theyre greatest games ever. but to me, metal gear solid 4:the greatest game ever made.
my personal favorite moments
also,
there are just so many fucking brilliant moments in this game, it feels like as i write this up a new memory will pop into my head. really, truly is, the best game ever made.
my personal favorite moments
the ending, of course, big boss being alive and....we get to see them with this current technology was...amazing. its always something ive wondered what would look like, if snake and big boss met again, but not as 2d sprites. raiden meeting his son for the first time was also really moving. everything about the ending was beautiful
also,
everything getting wrapped up. who the patriots where, the darpa chief/sigint discovery, everything plot related that was explained. so, fucking, awesome.
finding out little things also was so awesome, like akiba being the guy who meryl takes the clothes off in shadow moses!!! when he said i wanted to be near you meryl, i was like, omg, i think i know who this is!!!! and i flashbacked and was like OMG IM RIGHT WHAT A FUCKING GUESS!!:lol
and of course, returning to shadow moses. for most people, a lot of people, this wont mean as much to them. but for me, because ive been on a total media blackout, i had no idea we would return to shadow moses. heck, when they told me we'd be going back there, i still didnt think they meant THERE THERE. as in HELIPAD AND ALL. and with my favorite fucking mgs track EVER playing in the background while you do it!! KOJIMA, i have always thought of him as a great developer, a lot of moments in mgs have moved me. but none more than this. it sounds silly, but its as if he made this gaming moment just for people like me, who knew, they would be speechless. bravo

Such a good fight. After my screen went black and Hideo 2 popped up in the corner I turned my controller to port 2. The conversation with Otacon after that is awesome. And the ones with Cambell too. And of course, "Vibration is back!!!"

wispy, everyones personal "best game ever made" will be different. you will rarely find 2 or 3 people that agree on the same title. but for me, personally, it now holds that title. where before, there were 3 games on equal terms which i could not seperate from my personal favorite games of all time. mgs4 beats them all, and quite comfortably i might add.

WISPY, the beauty of the story is that it really does take another playthrough to fully engross yourself in the details. This is a small reason why I love this series. I can always count on more details and am driven to understand all the intricacies.

Oh yeah and unadulterated fan service of the highest degree.

Yeah I'm quoting myself because I found out what it does
If you beat the beauty and beast bosses without killing them you can use their octocam (facecam) and use their face/body. I just got raging vulcans face as an option to use. Sucks I shot laughing octopus, now I'll have to play through again
I am taking my sweet time with this game. Loving it!
In the second "section" of Act 2. Man that was some epic stealth shit in the first section.
I've been doing the tranq-only thang and the challenge is really nice. Plus you feel like a total fucking ninja.
The Mosin-Nagant is prob one of my favorite sniper rifles in all of gaming.
Going to save for now, savor that 45 minute zero discovery segment, and go do something else.
The rate I'm going, this game is going to last me 30 hours. :lol

wtf!? seriously? I love State of Grace/Aria/Paul Schwartz!!
