You have to go to Options and make sure Enable Auto-Aim is on. I personally thought it was really retarded given that the Square button DOES NOTHING when it's off. I only figured this out myself halfway through my second play through, when I decided to play a round of MGO. I wondered why I couldn't switch to Auto-Aim in the final MGO and in MGS4, while I could in the MGO beta.Jack Scofield said:
Yeah, I alternate between Auto-Aim and manual in MGO because I don't seem to fare well in it otherwise :/
>We need a MGS4 picture contest or something where to post spoilerrific and awesome pics.
I took this one on Act IV.

I want to be crazy with them.
Am I going quick enough for a Act 1 I think I'm going slow for an act with, I can see the bosses particularly crying wolf eating ALOT of my time. :|no boss in it
Yea, you're fine. I did act 1 in 55 minutes on my big boss emblem run. You can do it in 30 minutes if you're really good, but you've got plenty of time.

This pic is cropped. Where is DA F34R??
Would love more pics like this though, they are awesome. But the MGS3 and PO ones are the only ones i'm aware of.

Just looked it up in my guide for you.
Act 2 - Confinement Facility - On the "island" at the center of the water in the South-East area
Steroyd said:
No, it's not.
When you get to the rocky, red area past the power plant, you can go left or right. Left will take you right to the mansion and right will take you to another encampment (you can also take the road that Drebin takes when he drives off to get there faster, but you skip some items.) There will be an island of sorts surrounded by water. The song will be up there. You'll know the area cause a helicopter will fly in to attack the rebels in the area.

Oh this will be good ;p
So other than the usual, long cutscenes, boring/complex storyline, "lack of gameplay" what other things will he find to complain about?
If he can't find anything outside of those, then MGS4 wins.

A Holiday for two in Weston Super-mare!
holy fuck, I thought area 3 was a bit stale until I got to the good parts last night (I'm moving way too slow through this game, but with a 5 month old it's hard to get any substantial playing time). From a 7.1 standpoint, I've never played anything that's looked nor sounded like this.

yeah but at the end of Act 5 you learn that the Virus (FoxAlive) has spread to all the other AIs and all but the "brain stem" is left
....so I'm messing around in the shooting range, and a clump of virtual NPCs seem to have glitched on me, lol D:
Like, no matter what I do, nothing happens to them. I can walk through them, and I don't bump into anything. Shooting them and throwing grenades do nothing. I guess they didn't stamp out every glitch, eh?

Hmmm...just finished the game last night.
Big dissapointment for me. Too...many...fucking...cutscenes. It's not that they're particularly bad, in fact some of them we're really epic. It's just that they were overly and needlessly long, with a lot of unnecessary dialogue. They felt stretched to the point that it annoyed the shit out of me. Make no mistake, MGS4 is still a great game, it's just that I felt that there needed to be more gameplay, and a lot less chit chat.
The original MGS still holds the title as the best in the series, IMO. MGS4 just felt like a step backwards on so many levels. It just didn't blow me away like I thought it would.

The only glitch I've seen in the game is in Act 2, in one of the places where the rebels jump into the battlefield. Apparently, one of the rebels got killed while jumping into the battlefield and his body was lying dead in mid-air, but he quickly faded out as the game started clearing out dead soldiers.Darkpen said:

You weren't interested based on your friends view of the game and siad you wouldn't pick it up.Opus Angelorum said:

How could you be "ready for some verbal sparring" without playing it? Is the game really that bad or something? I mean if it got horrible reviews then one could say tht you going into it with skepticism would be valid. But it didn't. You went into it looking for problems and not actually playing the game first, digesting it and then posting your thoughts.
Let's not forget your constant multiplatform hopes.
Opus Angelorum said:
A) I'm not sure what you're talking about with that. What specifically? What game are you comparing it to?
Cover system
[You press triangle to slap up against a wall. It's really meant for hiding and not for shooting. Although you can play in FPS mode, it's not meant to be 100% shooter.]
B) The only voice that sounded forced to me at times was Snakes, in the bonus disc with the LE it shows how the voice acting was done. It wasn't just people reading off a script, but rather two people talking back and forth as if they were the characters. I can understand why you'd say it sounds forced though, this was my first Metal Gear game and some parts were pretty bad.(Otacon especially).
C) The emptiness aspect of it has to do with only the militia and PMC's warring with eachother. Later on in the game though you do see unaffiliated NPC's getting caught between the two sides. It makes sense for there not to be many people in a warzone as most would flee to avoid being caught in the middle. A large number of the buildings and such are empty, yet there are things like rugs, pots, bottles, etc that give the impression of life.
D) The only linear aspect of the game is how to get to a certain point so that players don't get frustrated, everything else is up to you as to how you'll get there. The first act especially has lots of nooks and crannies that you'll never notice the first time and you can spend a lot of time running around. Watch some of the runs on The Boss Extreme mode. There are lots of paths to the goal. And in the harder modes, the point you're supposed to head to doesn't even show up on the map.
E) The frame rate does jump between 30 and 60. But it's not so frequent that it affects gameplay. Most of the time those jumps are in cut scenes and empty areas that you get through quickly.
F) Play on harder modes. Any games with better AI that you can think of for comparison?
Yeah. The cut scenes were great at first and blew me away, but after a while I just wanted to play and not watch people talk. I didn't mind most of them, but when they pulled out slide shows and just yapped for minutes I felt like just skipping them. I'm on my second play through and I just skip most of the cut scenes except or th good ones.Kydd BlaZe said:

I watched the bonus round interview with David Hayter and he said that he wanted snakes voice to sound really raspy and more forced this time around. He's old, rapidly aging and his voice should reflect that.
Well, to each their own. I enjoyed all that and still do. If there's a lot of cut scenes, when they go to an "intermission" (i.e. loading screen where you have to press start to continue or start of a new act for example) I'll just pause it, grab a drink or whatever, check GAF and then continue on. It really helps when you take breaks since there's a lot to digest in this game.

I'm trying to weigh which is the quicker option... and helping the rebels seems like it, because all I have to do isGrenade the power station myself?
Which i should be able to do straight away without getting involved in the firefight.
I took the time to help them, then ran up the left side (not the side that
