Seriously though, it has been interesting following your runs. Hope to see you continue them.
I just finished Act 1. It certainly is one of the most amazing gaming experiences I have ever seen. I am taking my sweet time and letting it slowly unfold before me, much like I will with a much anticipated book. I would say this is probably the first time since MGS1 that I have been this blown away by a game.
End of game:
ok so the Big Boss who showed up was rebuilt by Eva with parts from the Solidus clone? And the body Liquid threw in the fire was a Solidus clone as well? But wasn't Solidus killed in MGS2? How many Solidus clones are there? :S

A bit off topic for a second as you mentioned a game I have some interest in. Is Vagrant Story hold up well enough to play today? Or, like most PSOne games, is it a bit difficult to go back to? I have no qualms going back to SNES, but those PSOne graphics are hard to swallow at times.

I didn't find them to be annoying OR fun, really. I just nuked em both with my strongest guns.
According to the codec calls, you're supposed to stay downwind or something from Wolf, but I found even thinking about doing that to be unnecessary when I could just RPG her every time she showed up.

Raiden
Heh.
Also I'm pretty sure the next game is going to be about
Raiden's previous actions. (Saving Sunny and Helping EVA.)

:lol :lol yeah that is pretty "what the hell"-worthy. it's basically dead in the game.
I dont know why hours of gameplay are being used as a benchmark for potential ownership, get over it the game ends at a certain point. I fucking loved my 16 hour experience, regardless of price. The only problem I have is that my ideas for the story were totally wrong, maybe expectations were. If youre out there thinking maybe this game isnt worth picking up you are reading nit-picks as game-destroying traits and your keeping yourself from a really great experience.

Is the beginning gameplay sequence of Act 5 supposed to be the most frustrating thing I've ever done, or what? I've been completely sailling through the game up until this point, and this has me literally screaming in frustration. I actually had to stop playing, I gave myself a headache. What the fucking hell.

a battle spoiler ->
I know by reading some of the comments here that if this battle impressed me that much, then my face is about to melt with what's to come.
I just beat the FROGS at about 1 1/2 hours into the game and it was so fucking awesome. The way they leapt from side to side on the roof beams was so crazy. Johnny is hilarious, I couldn't stop laughing when he bends down to take a shit in the middle of the FROGS battle and everyones yelling at him.

I'm almost halfway through chapter 2 and my clock's at 1:40 *grumble*
Honestly, this challenge seems nigh impossible to me. Not only do you have to be super fast but you also have to stock up on tranquilizer ammunition to be able to tranq kill the B&B members ( and Drebin doesn't sell it -__-). THIS IS FUCKING RETARDED

I think it's about as long as most other MG games, about half of that time was probably spent in cutscenes though...
Also what don't see how I could have rushed my way through it, I mean half of the time was spent crawling around on the ground like an "inch worm" I think... Actually I probably got that rank because I save often, who knows?
I don't think the replay value is as high as most people claim, only the hard core are really going to play through it multiple times. For what it counts, there is always MGO. I never cared for it, but now that I am more familiar witht he controls I'll probably give it another shot, they sure don't make it easy adding friends though...

At the begining go all the way to the right, keep an eye out for holes to crawl through and you can slide to the side of certain objects too. Also watch the roof, those are the people that always seem to spot you and keep your alert on. It was giving me a lot of trouble too until I realized all of these things.

I think that the game is at least worth playing through two times. I'm going to go in guns blazing my first time through and take a more stealthy approach my second time through. That's not even mentioning the fact that players can beat the game by using different types of weapons.

man the first cutscene was so cheesy "WAR CHANGES" ugh. Gameplay is ace tho. I really like the shooting mechanics now.

You know, if there's one thing I have to nitpick about this game - it's that
Natstasha isn't in this. I mean, what the fuck? She founded Philanthropy, after all. Maybe she'll show up in the other games.

Act 4 spoilers:
And goddamn are the boss fights visceral! Best ones in the series to me.
Fucking hell, I had the hardest time with Vamp and the gekos. Had to do the damn thing a million times before I just checked on gamefaqs. D: And Raiden.... Almost cried there.

The easiest difficulty in MGS3 was one of my favorite easy modes ever. It gave you the EZ Gun, an infinite ammo tranq pistol that when equipped gave you a permanent 85% camo rating even while moving and also made your stamina and health recharge quickly, so you never really had to eat.
Is there anything like that on MGS4's lowest difficulty?

You know, I think it's kind of funny that this took a lot of people awhile to figure this out.____ said:
I found out
pretty much immediately, when he revived for the first time. I thought: "Wait. That syringe neutralizes the effects of nanomachines! CQC? THIS MOTHERFUCKER IS GOING DOWN!
Also, I'm really happy that: (DON'T READ THIS UNLESS YOU BEAT THE DAMN GAME!)
Snake doesn't die.
I felt the same. I had to stop for a few hours as I was contemplating giving up completely.SailorDaravon said:
After some guys on here suggested stealth was the way to go I just equipped my tranq gun and took em all out, snuck behind the gekkos and opened the door. First time.

Just finished it. Fantastic game. Certain people will have issues with this or that but as a total package it's one of the best games of this gen. I felt that the game kinda faltered a bit in acts 4 and 5 but not so much that it ruined my enjoyment of it. I was a bit disappointed because of the wasted potential that was there. Controls on the whole are much improved. They're still not totally ideal because you have to press multiple buttons to shoot for instance. I'm still not sure how I feel about CQC. Honestly, it'd be nice to switch from shooting mode, CQC mode and stealth mode. Then again that might make the control issue even worse. :/ The controls just take some getting used to I guess.
I thought the ending was well done. It gave a nice send off for all the principal characters.
Definitely has it's issues but for most people with a PS3 it's a no brainer for people to pick this up.

Although it was bit disappointing that the final battle between Snake and Liquid seemed like more of a highly interactive cut-scene than a actual fight. It was also pretty rough watching Snake crawl through that corridor towards where they had to install FOXALIVE. The explanation that Big Boss gave about the patriots and such made sense but I was expecting something more interesting given how crazy MGS's story is. If/When MGS 5 comes around I hope they deal with Snake's death in some way, shape or form.
