Anyone know what Kojima:
is in the credits?

Really I don't know WTF people are doing in the official thread 5 days after the game comes out and complaining about spoilers... People have already beat the game multiple times and want to talk about it. If you haven't, GTFO. Not to mention
was spoiled already in a trailer! :lol

So the 4 and 5 inch blocks of black are there for decoration? If everyone else tags their stuff there's no reason why one person shouldn't. Just because some people have the god damn time to play through the game multiple times doesn't mean others do. Or do we make yet another official thread and title it "MGS4 for the people who have a motherfucking job." With that said I can't wait to see act 4 now.

I think if
you kill a lot of people (a LOT) he is supposed to say "It's because you like killing" or something like that, and Snake throws up. I cannot confirm though, Never done it, lol.
Edit: Apparently this isn't true. I've been had by someone in this thread :lol

quick question for the people that have finished the game with no alerts/kills. What difficulty did you finish with? I'm thinking of playing it on Naked Normal on my continued save just so I can blast through the game quickly so I can get the
If I beat the game on Solid Normal can I pick Naked Normal for my next playthrough and still get the extras? sorry if this has been asked already.

This iPod thing is confusing. For whatever reason it says that the songs you have collected will not carry through to the next playthrough, yet some people here are saying they have the songs they collected for e.g. Snake Eater.

Just saying, the fact thatare in the game is not that big of a spoiler, it was in a trailer. If you went so far as to not watch any trailers to not spoil anything why are you reading this thread?rex and ray

Some of us are responsible adults who don't take off work to play a fucking video game.
5 days after release? SPOIL AWAY!!
Give me a break.

Well, my posts were a bit in jest since I had seen that trailer. The specific stage I didn't know though. Oh well, by the time I beat this thing I will have read the ending to resistance 2 GOW 2 and whatever else is out while I'm playing through this. I only just finished act 2, game is the tits.

Try deleting the savedata folder then copy a save back to the memory stick from the PS3 so the PS3 creates the folder structure itself. Then copy the save folder to it

Quick question about Johnny:
Classic line.
How was he able to use any guns when he didn't have nanomachines in him?

Playing through for my second time, almost finished with Act 2. Love this game so much. These days I rarely have the time, or the dedication to play through a single-player game multiple times, but I'm definitely going to play through MGS4 a ton of times. And anyway
Going all soldier like this time through...Basically hiding and sniping every single enemy.
isn't there some way to get Colonel to talk about his alien experience again in MGS4 or something? Someone let me in on how to do it!

Do we ever see
him actually firing one until Act 3 when SOP is shut off? In Act 1, whenever he goes to shoot, his stomach incapacitates him.

When you're chasing after Naomi you can find a small crop circle. That's where the colonel talk comes.

Mmm, that's what I thought last night when I was replaying act 1, but isn't it safe to assume that he had to shoot a gun at least once before the events in MGS4? Unless he reall was that pathetic.
In MGS1, he gets owned by Meryl, so we never see it either.Lifeonmars? said:Mmm, that's what I thought last night when I was replaying act 1, but isn't it safe to assume that he had to shoot a gun at least once before the events in MGS4? Unless he reall was that pathetic.

But that's, what, nearly a 10 year difference?Y2Kev said:
If he really didn't fire a gun for that long, I'm amazed by his skills in act 5. Snake hairdo helps I guess. :lol
Here's an interesting bit I saw in Act 4. In sections of
the warhead room and beyond all the way to right before Rex, you can see 2 sets of footprints with NV on. One is the high heels of Naomi, the other a regular boot (duh, Vamp). Even little irregularities, like Naomi starting off like she's going to walk in the snow (through the field with the Comm Towers) but heads back towards Vamps footprints as he (and she) jump over that high fence you can't get past. Also in the blast furnace, it looks like she goes to the door down to the Vulcan Raven room, and Vamp opens the door (and probably locks it at the same time, forcing you to go through the other area, i.e. Trap for you).
As I said, I expect a lot of people prefer that look. I don't. If you want a soft image, you can get that with any game on any TV without any trouble. You can't make an inherently soft game sharp though.tha_con said:
You can have too much in the way that I just mentioned having the volume set to the proper level to hear the quiet sounds resulted in the loud parts being too loud in my opinion. Lots of people like to have things cranked up too loud anyway, so it won't have been a problem for them. It's just preference.tha_con said:
I couldn't aim properly as a result of the constantly jumping framerate in a few sections of Act 2, resulting in me getting shot.tha_con said:
The section where the rebels are trying to blow up the power station (I think that's what it was?) nearly got me killed a couple of times as there are guys on machineguns and lots of respawning enemies. As I had just helped kill the PMCs earlier, I didn't know that this was one of the bits where they just keep respawning until you move forward.
What impressed me about MGS2 was how good it looked at the time and how smooth it was while looking that good. I don't care how good something looks if it isn't running well, that just doesn't impress me. That doesn't mean it doesn't look good, it just means that I don't find it impressive.tha_con said:
I'm annoyed because I've gone through 9/10 installs now when one bigger install at the start would have been sufficient.tha_con said:
I am aware that it is where you have to insert disc 2 in MGS1I just played through it a month or two ago when the essential collection came out.
I just thought it was ironic that they made a joke about not having to change discs when the installs are longer than the time it takes to change a disc, and are more frequent than a two-disc game would be.
No, you didn't have Octocamo but it's just a streamlined version of the MGS3 camo system.tha_con said:
As is the radar system, the aiming and so on. It's just streamlined versions of what we've had before. It doesn't really change how the game plays, it just makes it easier to play it all stealth, all action etc. It still plays like the other MGS games, it's just easier to do what you want to do now without pressing five buttons at once. That's not a bad thing, but it's not revolutionary either.
I had the game set to remember whether I was in first or third person as it was annoying having to tap triangle almost every time I hit L1. If I had been zoomed in on a target before, I had to zoom out, hope my target hadn't moved, find them if they had, and take aim. If I could have set it to only go to 3x instead of 10x all the time it would have been a lot easier.tha_con said:
tha_con said:
Didn't happen to me when I wasn't fighting with them they never told me not to move, they just shot on sight. Seeing as you have to go through the militia base, and the game has sections near the start where they're getting shot in cold blood begging for their lives, it encourages you to help them.
tha_con said:
Ok, but it is never an objective to help the militia. You can help out the militia in places, and yet in othersoften right after scenes where you've helped them outyou can't do a thing but kill an infinite number of PMC troops or run past. There's no indication of whether or not you're helping or it's an exercise in futility you only find that out after a couple of minutes of shooting when you realise that it's not going to stop, or when another helicopter spawns in overhead etc.
tha_con said:
I would have preferred a 10 second cutscene showing snake finding his way into the church than playing through that section of the game. If it had been cut entirely, the game would have been better for it. In my opinion, that makes it absolutely terrible.
Ok, so we clearly have different opinions on this matter. With many people saying that this was the way forward in storytelling for videogames, and one of the most mature stories in gaming, I was surprised to see that it probably has the most lowbrow humour out of all the MGS games, from what I can remember. I know that it was in there in previous games, but with all the talk about how mature MGS4 was, I really didn't expect it this time around it was just painful to watch.tha_con said:
And yes, I do think that they went a bit far with the beauties playboys press L1 to see some ass and so on, just like I think they went too far with Eva in MGS3.
If I was just posting to troll the game, do you really think I would have bothered to type up a 2000 word post? Really?
