I love how much (both minor and large) 'stuff' there is to experience, find, unlocked, try differently on your 2nd / 3rd / forever play through.

Reading the plot synopsis in the back of the LE Game Guide is awesome. It makes everything fit so nicely together in a cohesive package.

-So she knew the body was Solidus and not the real Big Boss? Why did they even orchestrate that huge ordeal then? The resistance, the chase through town, killing off all those soldiers, crashing helicopters, Liquid Ocelot beating the everlovin' SHIT out of Solid Snake... they HAD to do this to fool the AI, or what? Was EVA not as integrated into the plan as Ocelot, Naomi, etc. were, and they unfortunately had to fool her too?
-Figured as much but I just wanted to make sure.
-So how did the rest of them get Foxdie...?
-Figured.

Was Liquid Ocelot's plan an orchestrated facade? Meaning, all of the PMC battles, B&B fights, chases, backstabbing, and general craziness was intended so that the Patriots' AI could be fooled?
PS - you plot-savvy people should really go edit the Metal Gear Wiki and Wikipedia articles on this game, they are really lacking.

If you have a DualShock...
After you set down the controller, he makes it rumble and shake around and brags about his powers and says, "HAHAhahaha, RUMBLE IS BACK!" then theres flashes of the old rumble controller, and he goes away.
If you don't have a dual shock he just says, "What?! No rumble!?" and then goes away.

- To me it only makes sense if Eva did not know that Ocelot planned all of this. That he was actually the "good" guy. I suppose Eva could've pretended and actually jumped on the fire knowing full well she didn't need to, but to me if she did know it ruins the drama, so I chose to believe she didn't know.
- How did the rest of them get Foxdie? Foxdie spreads from person to person. Snake had it so anyone who comes in contact with him is infected and is killed at some point
- I'm gonna say yes.

I crawled under the rubbage at the other end of the hallway, went through the wrecked office, and went around the Gekko. Then I called the elevator and got in behind its back.
Oh yea, they did it for the previous metal gears. http://forums.gametrailers.com/showthread.php?t=366752 "Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots - Coming Soon"
Eventually, you'll be able to enjoy the entire series from your couch. They also do a good job of showing all the easter eggs, hidden codec conversations, multiple The End encounters, etc. I watched the MPO one, cause the gameplay was a bit of a turn off for me, but I still wanted the complete story.

So EVA wanted to stop the Patriots' AI by less forceful and violent means, while Ocelot remained his true evil badass self and had fun along the way... she had to be fooled into thinking the body was really The Boss, though. Why would she willingly jump into the fire just to trick Old Snake into thinking he was The Boss? Makes no sense.
Well if that's the case, everyone Snake was with in the game would have died or at the very least been confirmed to have it. Otacon, Sunny, Meryl, everyone. Snake didn't get that improved version until he met Drebin, which is after he was with those people.
Fucked up. So if Liquid wasn't such a badass, perhaps they could have figured out a less destructive way to kill the Patriots' AI? Hmm... it's almost like it was an ego thing for Liquid. He had to fuck with the world one more time before he kicked a really bad habit, or something.
This story is soooo confusing.

Indeed. I'm currently practicing doing the hold ups at enemies while they are on the ground. If u do so and go away, they apparently never stand up again. They basically stay there forever, face in the dust and hands behind the neck, so you don't need to tranq them nor to worry about them waking up later. Unless they are discovered by another guard of course.
Sullen said:
Shoot them both with a sniper rifle enough times and they fall to the ground. You have to go over to wherever they fell off and pick them up (like you would any other item) so it gets added to your inventory. I'm pretty sure you have to shoot them both off to damage mantis, though I could be wrong, so you may have shot them both off, but only noticed that you did it once. Although, if you leave the dolls unattended for a long enough time, mantis is supposed to collect them again. So maybe you can beat mantis with only one doll; I never tried it that way.

I didn't even stop crying until the credits were done. My girlfriend barely knows the story of MGS, and she cried at the ending too. :lol

Or even a casting theatre or Boss Rush mode. I hope these things get implemented - I don't mind paying for them because, well, it's MGS after all.g35twinturbo said:My only complaint is that there is no Movie viewer
What's the odds of a re-release similar to Substance, Subsistence? Or are developmental costs just too high?

The other doll allows you to manipulate dead bodies (this is assuming you got the Red one and not the Blue one). Its appearently useful for lifting said dead body up and shaking items out of them

Snake had a hard life
Snake didn't kill himself
MGS3 made me ALMOST cry and MGS4 went that step further. The microwave scene is the best and most poignant scene I've ever seen in a movie or game....full stop. Music works beautifully too.
Alright, just thought I'd post some pros and cons now that I've finished the game
The Good:
The Bad:
I still don't really know what to think. I clocked 21 hours and I can't believe I completed MGS4 in so few days and I can't believe that this is the end of MGS. It's probably the only game franchise where I have completed every game in the series (MGS1 to MGS4).
The Good:
+ Much improved gameplay mechanics all around
+ Awesome shooting mechanics
+ Best next-gen visuals and presentation ever
+ Great gameplay variety
+ Raiden
+ Metal Gear Mk II made sneaking around so much easier
+ Huge variety of guns
+ Fantastic atmosphere
+ Rex vs Ray
+ OctoCamo is incredibly cool and Face OctoCamo made you look like a ninja

The Bad:
- Some truly cringeworthy scenes ("Commander......I'M SCARED!", jesus christ)
- No classic MGS theme song. WTF
- They had you believe Raiden was dead TWICE and just glossed over the fact that he's still alive in the next cutscene. WTF is this shit.
- Weaksauce bosses
- MGS3 had the much better plot and ending
- No chance to play as Raiden
- No classic MGS theme song. WTF

i cried at multiple points.
when i thought snake shot himself, when otacon said snake had a hard life, when raiden got his family, when the theme we all thought was gone was played in its full glory during the credits, when big boss says he was proud of snake and respected him as a soldier, and finally the conversation after the real credits
i was fucking emotional :\

Yeah, I completely agree.
One moment, it's Raiden cutting his arm off, holding off a superfortress and then poetically bleeding out in the water. Basically goes out in a similar manner to Cyborg Ninja from MGS1, *AND* he already nearly died once in the game already so you have more reason than ever to assume he's dead. (And be pissed that he wasn't playable, but that's neither here nor there.)
Next scene:
<Otacon> So Raiden is going to make it, huh?
<Snake> yeah.
WTF? :lol :lol :lol I can't help but laugh. It pretty much ripped all of the suspense out of the final stage because let's be honest, none of them were closer to death than Raiden was previously. I mean, two arms down and Raiden was *still* in better shape, throwing down lightning. Meryl meanwhile has mr. profuse bladder and his 50 caliber 100% accuracy gun. Pirates 3 indeed.

Still an awesome game, of course.
Ok one more thing, can someone explain how
Meryl and co. didn't go crazy like all the other soldiers did when the Patriots' AI got pwned? I know it has to do with Big Boss' code but it's not really clear. Y2Kev will kill me when he sees this post.
Yes, I know she went crazy, but not permanently. Whereas a lot of the soldiers Ocelot pulled the plug on lost their minds. I don't get it!
