It was meant to leave open to the player's imagination whoDancingCactus77 said:

"Come quick, the eggs are ready!" does raise any sense of ambiguity of who else might be there, they might as well have left it as "Snake, Otacon, the eggs are ready!" The Japanese dialog is "Everyone, the eggs are ready!" which unlike the English, introduces the ambiguous word "everyone" to the player.
Just got 4 more emblems and my
stealth item and infinity bandana.

nah. when I did my TBE run, I shot her with the rail gun as she was flying around the tower, and bam, 100% health down :lolSteroyd said::lol :lol :lol Raging Raven.
OMFG a fully charged Rail Gun shot to the head knocks off 95% health, and I started the fight with a tiny bit of her health down, does the damage I do in the car chase part accumulate into the boss battle... is it possible to kill her before we get to that boss battle!?
I'm not sure, but I think it does exponentially more damage if you shoot her from behind or something. I don't remember what I did that first time, but damn.
I don't think attacking her during the rail scene affects her at all.

You should really try The Boss Extreme. I'm not going for any specific medals, but playing through the game on extreme is a lot more fun than solid normal. The AI's are more aware of their surroundings and it really makes sneaking a lot more satisfying.

I suck at sneaking to begin with. I always end up killing everyone. I kill them stealth-style, with silenced shots, or CQC, or something, without alerting, but I almost always kill my enemies. Always have in MG games.
I'm at the Crying Wolf fight... If I get an alert screen during this boss fight will that count as an alert at the end of the act?
Also,
Does it appear after the fight or am I supposed to look for it during the fight?
The frogs are annoying.
where is "The Best is Yet To Come" located?
For anyone in the UK Shopto has MGS4 for £28.99:

Almost finished the game so just only now daring to come into this thread . I have definitely never played a game that's this over the top. I have a little bit of a hard time staying with the story emotionally... just goes in too many directions for my personal taste.
Definitely the best looking game out there. It's incredible what this game does at times. Very, very impressive.
The
sequence was absolutely amazing. I wanted to play more of that!
I am going to give MGO a go, see if that gets me hooked! I am sure it will. Hopefully I'll see some of you guys online.

What does Drebin say in the post-Raging Raven codec? I only got to the part where he reveals she was picked apart by ravens? I accidentally hit start halfway through the codec and I was intrigued by Drebin's story about Laughing Octopus...

There's actually a game script up on GameFAQs but I wouldn't dare go near it if you haven't beaten the game before yet. I copied and pasted the part you missed from it in its entirety and sent it to you in a PM.
Didn't want to post it here as it's rather long and I didn't want some poor soul accidentally highlighting it. :lol

Act 3 takes on a totally different dynamic when you play on the hardest difficulty. The resistance guy went in a totally different route and I had to actually be stealthy from the PMCs and I'm trying to follow him. It goes from boring to fucking tense.
In a related story, I finally decided to take on MGS3:S on European Extreme. That entire game takes on a new dynamic when I can never get caught ever. That game has been breathed new life.

During my Big Boss Hard playthrough, I started to mess around, and found that he will actually take a different path than the one that he's set to follow on default. If you take an alternate path, like, to the side of somewhere, there's a chance that he'll actually follow you, which leads you down into parts and areas of the Act 3 city that you would have never explored otherwise. On my TBE Big Boss run, I played it safe and followed the path he naturally takes, and that took far less time than the one where I got to explore more of the city.fistfulofmetal said:
And while we're on the subject, I'd like to note that when the resistance member changes outfits into a PMC trooper, he can get run over and killed by the patrolling car. Its entirely possible. Normally, they stop and wait for him to cross, but I saw him get hit by a car and die, with Otacon saying "the resistance member..." in a sorrowful way.
Playing this game over and over, I'm noticing a few small glitches, but nothing gamebreaking, as well as spelling errors.
Like, in the credits, they spell it "Reserch and Development." In one of the codec calls early on in the game with Otacon, he says "ninja," which is the proper plural for ninja, but in the written text, it says "ninjas."

My Japanese Limited Edition came today, it's damn sexay, the best of the 3 imo. I've decided to skip the US one because the packaging is pretty meh.
The JP LE goes nicely with my UK LE
I think that will be it for my MGS4 purchases... unless I can find that MGS4 tin that some people got from the Kojima tour... hmm
*goes to eBay*

A very nice MGS4 article that is geared more towards videophiles and non-gamers here: http://bluray.highdefdigest.com
I thought it was a an interesting read as it helps hype a game towards a crowd that may have purchased a PS3 just for blu-ray.
(Please forgive the lazy link. I'm on a PS3 and writing down the entire exact address to the article and then typing it would be asking too much of me right now lol *Zzzzz)

Yea, JP LE is probably the prettiest one for me.
I love the boxart and the b-ray case.

Quoting myself because of this contradiction:
Here's a great quote from that article (which I had to write down and now type out
)"...for those gamers that have been with the series since Metal Gear Solid, in some cases, as far back as the 1987's Metal Gear, the game's story is one of the few that actually warrants the dictionary definition usage of the word 'epic'."

Yeah I thought it was pretty cool he took a different route, but it's actually attributed to the fact if you took out the enemies ahead of time.Darkpen said:
He went the same way as I expected him to in my TBE playthrough. He was going to take different routes, but I restarted and tried to get him on the same route as I had been getting him on during Liquid Easy playthroughs.
My first playthrough on Big Boss hard, he had went through other places because I didn't take out enemies ahead of time. It was much harder and more intense indeed.

Damn between that and the High Times review hopefully it will convince a lot of non gamers to check it out.

Finished the game last night
Overall I enjoyed the hell out of this game. Matter of fact, I think I'll play through it again this weekend
I'm glad Snake didn't off himself and decided to live out what's left of his life. Although ending with Snake actually shooting himself would have felt (to me at least) more of an ultimate sacrifice for the greater good. I saw those credits rolling and though I was bummed thinking Snake had offed himself, it had a deeper impact on me. Of course, all of a sudden I saw "Debriefing" and then the cemetery with Snake and Big Boss, and I cracked a smile

Big Boss' voice actor in the credits and think "Whoa... wait a minute... Big Boss said something? WHAT THE FFFFFFFFFF".

That would have made me crap my pants. Too bad I got spoiled weeks before by that god damned picture of those reviewers playing the game and BIG BOSS was right there on the monitor. If I ever complete my Time Machine, I'm going back to that moment and logging off Neogaf
Actually, after I thought Snake had killed himself, I was waiting for a post-credits scene in heaven or something. I knew I was going to see Big Boss, somehow

Look around during Beauty mode. You have to defeat the beasts with tranqs or they won't show up.h3ro said:How do I get it? What are theseSOLAR GUNeveryone is talking about? I don't know what I'm looking for...statues

you need all of the statues (there are 5 total. 4 beauties, 1 frog). kill all beasts and the frogs in the Act 1 shootout (the one with Meryl & crew) with non-lethal shots (use the mosin-nagant or the mk2). After you kill the beast form, look around the level for a small statue. they show up on the plane near the TV during the Mission Briefings.
