Awesome thanks! now the only question is, is the remixed mgs4 version in the first video part of the soundtrack with the same name?? anybody jump in if they know
I think HGW really gets how game music works now. It just seems like his themes are so much more gamey. The Gekko theme is so awesome. Mobs Alive is one of my favs though. Love Theme is awesome (I know it's not him). Father and Son too. Did anyone else really really wish that some of the melodies would just say "fuck it" and go into the MGS theme? Cause they come close at times but never touch the controversial theme. I hate whoever showed Kojima that music. I hope they die.
Something I've noticed is that the sound is not just great sounding, it's engineered well. When you get caught in Act 1 and that little melody comes in (sounds like cellos or something) and then BOWWWWWWWWWWWW (like the guy that goes OHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHH in that song, lol) really really just rocks a room with a good system.
Here's to You is great, but I don't get why Kojima opted to leave the original names in :lol

Yeah the sound design is amazing. I honestly got freaked out
in most of the Human forms of the BB units. I would run towards them and hear windows breaking behind me and then laughing beside me and shit. First time through I freaked out and just started making things explode to end it lololol

The entire game if you want to. War prices gon' skyrocket. lol.
Love Theme lyrics in english:
Closing my eyes to the sound of gunfire
Uttering a roar
In a flash I am switched into despair
Everything for the one who lives inside the nightmare
Missing from the bottom of my heart
Wishing the world that ran out of tears
The heart is already dead
The hope
Missing until it hurts
Goddamn this stupid
fist-fight. I want to murder whoever thought this was a good idea. I'm going to take a fucking break and try to remember the fun parts of the game so I won't want to break the goddamn disc in half. It was irritating enough of Naked Normal, but on Big Boss Hard it's a complete and utter nightmare. Fuck whoever came up with this bullshit.
HOLY SHIT AT THE END OF
.
This is seriously one of the best games I've played in, like, ten years. Which is around the time I started playing games again.
ACT 3
Boss battle was amazing. LIQUID IS PURE EVIL! Even Vamp was like "whoa, dude". Naomi and Otacon, what are you doing?!
Whoever thought the kid that pooped his pants would win over Meryl's heart, huahuauhahua

Game done! Took me 19 hours and it was crazy cool. There is no game like it.
Though, it's not a perfect, it's definately one of the greatest gaming experience ever. It's sad that it's over now.
Looking forward to Kojima creating a new game that will be as great as the MGS series.

After I finished it I just sat back and appreciated the story and characters that we've been treated to over the years thanks to this series. While I can see more Metal Gear games
(Raiden's story between MGS2 and MGS4, for example) I think we've seen the end of Snake. I was happy to for him to "retire". I don't think it could have been said any better:
"He's had a hard life."
What a journey it's been.
"He's had a hard life."
What a journey it's been.
To Kojima and crew: thank you. It's been a blast.

you can't put a price on sparks
btw, i saw a tv commercial for MGS4.
i read a while ago about how Konami wasn't going to advertise on TV or something, so obviously that was false

This game just went from great to fucking amazing in Act 3. I can't believe how well Kojima incorporated MGS3 into the overall MGS story. It's as if he planned all this shit out a long time back. Amazing. Everything is getting tied together so nicely. I can't wait to see where the story goes from here.
:bow Kojima :bow

QUESTIONS ABOUT NO ALERT/NO KILL RUN:
Does bringing the beasts down with a regular gun count against me as a kill? Obviously they arent dead yet until they are out of the suit, but i just want to make sure. God i hope it doesnt.
Also, can i get the stun rounds for any shotgun or just one? If so which?
What essential tools should i bring along that i may not realize?
Machines like the gecho and the flying robots with raven dont count right?
What else should i be careful of?

I think the biggest problem with making other games would be
getting rid of Octocamo. I mean, the only way it could be back is if it was to take place after MGS4, but that would suck since after MGS4 you expect peace and change in the world. You don't need something else happening in the story.
That said, I think MGS4:Supplement should be released, but it should be stand alone. It must come with VR missions, but the main draw should be new story bits that add to what was referenced but left out in MGS4. Raiden working for Big Mama and other missions starring Raiden. Classic Big Boss missions after PO occured. Random other things. Only thing I don't want to happen is them letting you play as The Boss. The Boss should be off limits when it comes to playing as her.

i'm ten hours in and i like this game, but really, they could cut 3/4 of the dialogue and cutscenes and it wouldn't change a thing. they explain and explain and explain and i don't want to play anymore. it kills the drama, if there is any drama
the gameplay's pretty good but not much more than the other games as far i noticed. i don't know how it's revolutionary, maybe it gets better? i feel like the environments are too linear; maybe it'll give me two paths at sometime like after the power plant, but other than that it's not alot. i'd rather make my own route through the forest instead of it feeling so scripted
presentation and graphics and all that is top notch though. cut scenes are far above anything i've ever seen in a game, like a movie almost.
i like it, but i don't know if it's the game of the decade or century or whatever. maybe of the year and of the series, but i don't think it's that groundbreaking. just a great finale to an awesome series

Someone please answer this question about the plot. I am confused about a major plot point.
I am wondering what purpose does Big Boss' body serve as being a biomort at the center of the system? Also, how exactly is his genetics used in activation the system? I understand what role Big Boss played in the Patriots while he was conscious, but I don't understand what his purpose is when he is a biomort at the heart of the system. What does he do? What is his body for? How is his body used to activate the system?

Yeah, I agree. I started replaying the game only to stop after an hour and I was skipping the cutscenes. It all felt wrong. I had no problem skipping cutscenes in the past games, but this time I wanted to watch them but didn't because of a time reasons. I am waiting until I get a 5.1 system as for some of the story to be out of my head before replaying it all with cutscenes.

Liquid: Easy. Shouldn't hurt you too much. If anything, spam the hard punch combo. If you're close he'll block, and one of your next 2 hits will break through his guard and hit him.
Liquid Ocelot: All he has is his big punch. Watch for that and you should be ok. Dash in and out to coax it from him, and get in fill combos/CQCs when you can.
Ocelot's trickiest. Evade, duck his attacks, and get in full combos or 1-2 punches into the head butt (triangle) special CQC attack.

That said, I fear when I get to him on Extreme.
I don't think that the bringing the Beasts down when their armor is up counts but I wouldn't chance against it really.Gamer @ Heart said:
I only used the M79 (Think it was this one?) with vortex ring.
Try to find at least two or more chaff grenades in a prior game or during your run.
Gekko's and other unmanned machines don't count.

I feel the same. The first two acts feel like a real game. Near the end, i feel like the game is taken away from me except for the boss fights, forcing me to go down a corridor to see the next cutscene. If it wasnt for kojima making snake an extremly relatable and real character instead of just a badass who likes to smoke the ending and cutscenes would have bothered me much more.

Skip the cutscenees, then. For the love of god just press the start button and fucking skip them.
It's starting to make my head hurt when people complain about the cutscenes.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE CUTSCENES THEN SKIP THEM.
It's interactive. Experiement with the game and play it however you want. If you don't like the cutscenes you don't have to see them at all.
If the cutscenes have nothing for you... then skip them. That's what I did in gears!

I think more or less I went in spoiler free and am happy about it. I did watch the trailers, but the Courage is Solid one I only watched once and I kept looking away from the screen. Rewatching it now, it really spoils a lot of the game.
