Thanks, I'll try it.
Thanks everyone who replied so quickly! I agree, lack of support characters you can contact is a big letdown compared to previous games.
(Codec support character)
(Codec support character)
Is Rose ever even useful? The three times I called her, first time was just after I got her codec, and she said a generic thing about the Psyche meter, and that I might have heard it before etc. Second time my Psyche was empty and she mentioned a few tips, third time it was full and she said the exact same thing as the first time! Seems so useless to me...

It definitely took a lot of tries. I absolutely refused to go Rambo, mainly because of how much I hated myself for doing that in 1-3 on my first playthroughs. I kinda felt like it was the perfect stealth mission 
. The first part was pretty easy, keep an eye on the ladders in front of you. You can climb it up, then follow the rails along to get you some distance forward, the Frogs shouldn't spot you up there. When you drop off when you run out of rails, be sure to mash triangle as you fall to catch the rails below you, so you dont make a loud noise when falling. After that, I just hugged the right side behind the boxes/pillars, then tranqed the frogs in the top-right corner. After that, I sneaked up to where their bodies were, then made a mad dash for the door and mashed the traingle button. The end!

Lots of them have been doing it on Liquid Easy though
Doing it on Big Boss Hard is something I don't think I want to attempt.
Also, remember guys, using special items you get from beating the game may null you from getting certain items that you get from certain ranks on the next playthrough. I believe MGS3 did this.

Don't see how it is. But yeah I thought that was neat. It was pretty awesome how many industry names gave props to the Metal Gear Saga. You had Suda, Ueda, David Jaffe, Cliffy B., Sakurai, Itagaki, and Ray Mukyza. Mark McDonald, and Ngai Croal was there too XD The LE blu-ray was seriously an awesome extra and I'm glad I got it.

you can't put a price on sparks
something about the whole series that is funny, we still never play as Solid Snake for a full game after the 1st one. Snake in MGS4 is "Old Snake" and i dont think anyone calls him "Solid Snake."
also, i have to say that the online mode sort of bores me. the main game is leagues better.

I can see where some of these battles are kinda hard with the bosses but it's all explained if you talk to Otacon he gives help if you pester him enough. BTW the only tough one was
Raging Raven, her freaking health bar moved way too slow? Anyone know what type of weapon is best for maximum damage?

i guess you can say some people had suffering and turmoil playing as Raiden through all of MGS2, as well.
Anyone with questions regarding the ending / general story of the game ought to read the last 10 or so pages of the MGS4 strategy guide. It's seriously helped me understand so much more of what went on in the last two hours of the game.
Oh, and yeah, the Blu-Ray making of it fantastic, easily on par with what Bungie did for Halo 2.

I'm only a couple of hours in but man are the controls unintuitive this day and age and man am I dying a lot more than I have since first trying to figure out how MGS works in MGS1.
Hopefully at some point soon it will click for me.

im surprised people are complaining about the lack of codec...most people hated on this in previous installments....
rightfully so to some degree....more cut scenes are good for me but I couldnt really be bothered with the hours of babble

I miss the optional codec. To chat with your support team about Items or the latest story development was always awesome.
nelsonroyale said:
MGS3 had like 1 hour of mandatory codec and like 5-10 hours of optional ones.
The issue is the optional ones. Those of us who liked all the fun random tidbits go through MGS3 calling every member every 5 mins to hear their latest stories on every development.
Personally I just liked calling cute girls and flirting jokes with them in MGS1/3 (Mei Ling/Paramedic). It broke up the tension and made the game more 'fun'.

I just beat the game.....
out of all the english classes i have taken in high school and in college, for the life of me i cant think of enough words to say how blown away i am....i mean Jesus

Wow.
If anybody has the LE strategy guide, it goes in depth about the story of all MGS games (including 4) and explains EVERYTHING.
MAJOR SPOILERS only read if you've beat the game

I can't believe how much influence the Patriots had over this entire series. Here we are thinking that Ocelot is the villain, when really he is the 'good guy' who is trying t rid the Patriots of their ways, even though he was one of the founders. So he takes on the persona of Liquid through psychotherapy techniques, hypnotherapy and nanomachines.
I KNEW there had to be more to the story besides that bullshit "Liquid's spirit took over Ocelot's body".
There was never a "Liquid" Ocelot...he simply took on that persona so the Patriots wouldn't be aware of his true intentions(to destroy their entire AI system), which ironically happened at the hands of Solid Snake who himself was actually working for the Patriots...and never knew it.
holy crap

Yeah, I love how this game actually made some of the more crazy stuff inSmokey Bones said:
MGS2
Liquid "taking over" Ocelot. Vamp being immortal, etc
What really impressed me is just how well all the games stories interconnected and got resolved.
Its as if Kojima had this entire story mapped out ever since Metal Gear Solid 1

Finished the game, one of the best games I ever played. On a technical level maybe the most impressive video game ever created.
I just wished the final act ended with a bit more for you to do, I never felt it reached the high notes of the MGS3 finale (even though many parts earlier in the game did). But the final boss is one of the most eye popping things I have ever seen.
The epilogue kind of went into MGS2 levels of bloatedness, but it was still very good. I love how the enter series came together, best story of all MGS games, my favorite story of any game. Now to replay it over and over.

BTW 22 hours of play but the epilogue is an hour long so it was more like 21.

I've just completed the game.
In my opinion, it perfectly wraps up the best story ever told. Thank you, Kojima, for bringing this to the world. This is the best game ever created.
