I started playing last night and I participated in a host instructed CQC class. I failed but most of us were dickin' around anyway. However, we managed to play two serious matches and I love what I've played of it so far.

Is $10 really that big of a deal to people in the U.S?

I mean that's about as expensive as one meal out here. I wouldn't think twice about that if I liked the game itself. :)

any idea if they're ever going to open up survival to everyone? Survival, when i stopped playing, was an elitist wankfest.

I think Wasp Unit members are hooking up tomorrow for a MGO session, see how it goes.

10$ isn't a big deal. Locking out 39 countries from Survival, however, is.

Would've looked better without the LEDs. That's the only thing that gave it away to me for sure that it was a homemade mod. Why do so many modders go crazy with the lights.

Dumb question: I'm renting MGS4 and I've reached the part where you meet Drebin and can buy weapon attachments. I bought a silencer for my M4; how can I attach it?

I love the game btw, first time playing a Metal Gear game.

edit: wait I think I figured it out.

Just checking...I can delete the 'game' data from where I'd select to play the game and still keep my records in case I come back again to play right? Just don't delete the stuff in the other place / gave save files etc?

I only need the end game file save to fire up the second play through without erasing what I already have right?

Hope this made a lick of sense.

Everything that doesn't have something to do with individual playthroughs, including items, special camo and iPod tracks are stored in the System data file. You can delete the end game save file and you'd still be good, as long as you don't touch the System data file.

I'm sorry I'm "just a bit late" on this one, but I made a vow to myself that if I ever get unbanned from gaf, this would be the first thread I'd post in just out of principle.
What an amazing experience it was the first time as well as the second and third play through.
Bruce, you've done us all proud with your Official thread(s) and I was literally in awe with my freaking jaw wiiiiiiiiide open when I first saw this OP. Much much props to you bro and can't wait till your Killzone 2 thread. This has been an amazing year with soooooo many quality games (MGS4, LBP, Dead Space, Gears 2, R2 & etc...). MGS4 will be my personal goty just because it has a special place in my heart as an Metal Gear fan.

Hats off to Kojima-san, Ryan and the rest of the crew @ Koji-pro!

Feels great to be back after a 10 month ban
:D

Mine? Did you enjoy MGS4 as much as I did? ;p
Also, make room for me on your infamous PSN friend's list Wollan...for real.
I need some more Killzone 2 beta/LBP/HOME people on my friend's list.

Just finished Act 4 and I remember reviewers and people complaining about it. Mainly the enemies you fight. Personally I loved the feeling of isolation in Act 4. Being alone to experience all the nostalgia.

While playing Act 4 I was thinking about MGS and Snake was in his prime. Yes he was getting older, Liquid made a few mentions of his age, but for the most part Snake was in his prime. The entire Shadow Moses base was the pinnacle of science and technology. The top scientists and engineers were involved with the research of Rex and other projects. Now it's a shadow of it's former self, much like Snake. It's rotting, it's decrepit, and it's falling apart.

Don't know if that's what Kojima was going for, but Act 4 really resinated with me.

I agree 100% act 4 was great! One of the high points of the game. Especially after act 3 which I didn't like at all.

Act 4 had a nice mixture of stealth, combat, and boss fights. Plus the nostalgia was there with minial pre-amble. It all stood on it's own very nicely.

There's also only about half an hour of actual gameplay after that point, two levels worth actually.

I have to play MGS4 again sometime. Come to think of it, I haven't even tried MGO yet! And I bought the game at launch! :lol
