YAY! I got my Big Boss Pack today. First, let me say that I love the Camo PSP. I love the camo look of the PSP, and I love the weight of it. Compared to my bulky PSP 1000, it's like so much better. I haven't played much of MGSW today, but I will be doing so for quite a while in the coming days.
W today, but I will be doing so for quite a while in the coming days.
It's getting rather good too already, with them saying that The Boss is not actually dead. Yeah, it could all be a trick, but if she really is alive, omg.. Must say, when I heard The Boss' voice, and remembering the ending to MGS3, yeah, I got teary eyed.

I'm downloading iso tool right now. 1.51 didn't find the EBOOT.PBP even if I put it in the proper folder. *sigh*
Let's see if 1.52 will find the damn eboot, otherwise I'll probably have to run all over just to get the damn PSN store version to convert to an iso to patch it. :/

Controls take some getting used to, but having a lot of fun thus far. I'm spending a lot of time in R&D and doing side missions, so I imagine this will last me quite a while given my schedule lately.
Completed the first few missions. I'm really digging the Shooter type controls, a much more elegant solution for a PSP friendly MGS control scheme than what was offered in Portable Ops. The story begins with a really interesting hook, especially if you worship MGS3 as I do. Totally feels like MGS5, and that's all that matters.

Spoilers about a major event in the game... IT'S A BIG SPOILER GUYS, so don't highlight unless you really completed the game.
For those who have fought Zeke on the western version, does Love Deterrence still play during the fight?

Yes, which is why you were wrong when you said that Snake talked about how he fought a Metal Gear in Russia (he never did), and why I was right when I said it was an inconsistency that Snake and Huey come up with the name "Metal Gear" just now (based on Granin's words) when Snake had already fought two weapons called "Metal Gears" four years earlier, in Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops.
And that proves me wrong... how? 'Looks like you keep completely missing the point...

Nice stealth edit
I'm sorry, I tend to select the quote button then replace the words with the spoiler word. I made the change already (Did I spoil you, anyway? I hope not :/)
Aw crap, I will reedit the post... Forgot about that "little" detail.

Correct, no camo PSP is the same, like a snowflake or finger print.lastinline said:

I am only a couple of missions into the game but so far I am disappointed in the lack of real-time cut scenes. I don't actually enjoy playing any of the MGS games as I hate stealth gameplay and usually play them all on very easy and run through just shooting everybody to get to the awesome cut scenes because I do enjoy the story and characters. Can anyone who is farther through the game confirm that there are going to be more real time cut scenes as I play through the game? The motion comic stuff is cool and all, but from what little game footage I had seen without spoiling much for myself I had gotten the impression that there might be quite a few. I just don't want to get my hopes up for no reason, lol.
Ridley327: Update my man.
Try this out, that is if you're using the PSN store bought version. See if that'll run on your CFW PSP. If it doesn't, I'm stumped because it works for me. I just need to see if it'll freeze and if it does to get around that issue. But at least it's going somewhere.

But that is not an inconsistency.
They only referenced they first time the term was created. Huey and Miller might not know the whole events of PO. Kaz and Huey come with the name. The first time Snake tells Huey that in Russia he learned about metal gear. Did he have to say oh yeah I blown up two of them too? Later Huey and Kaz choose the name while you do the chopper mission.
Erigu said:
Part I am right , part you are wrong.
Eva seems indeed wrong MGS 4. Either she thinks he left the Patriots because of his sons or either that's what Zero told him to keep her away. Because in PW it's clear Snake doesn't know about his sons. He was in coma 2 years before and that's where they took his genes. Hence Snake doesn't know at all about his son. Saying it's an inconsistency is not 100%

I thought about this, but transferring 2 gigs over USB sounds like it'd take a while. Plus then there's still the mandatory install. It might not save you that much time.
Anyways, 5 missions in and OMG SO GOOOD
I'm having so much trouble ranking this game in my head.
I'm fairly certain it's not as good as 3, but I would KILL to have these controls in 3.
I'm pretty sure it's better than 4, but even though 4 had limited content there were some "rooms" that were much more fun to tackle than PW's, just as a result of the intelligence/scale that came with the PS3 and the presence of Metal Gears.
And neither of those games have the sheer quantity and diversity (Sabotage, recruitment, shooting, awesome boss fights, etc) of missions that this game does. It's a tough call.

He simply remembers Granin's words about a "metal gear" when he hears about Huey's project.
There's a Huey briefing file about the name "Metal Gear". Listen to it and tell me that it's not "weird" how Snake keeps saying "those were Granin's words, anyway" without ever mentioning that he already brought down two weapons named that four years earlier.
Obviously, they're either ignoring or forgetting about that "little detail" from Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops.

*facepalm*
Finally. That sure took a while.
The games never said anything about Big Boss being in a coma, actually. That was just a bad translation in Metal Gear Solid.
And again, it's not like you need someone to be in a coma to clone him/her, really...

Sure, it's not an inconsistency if we assume EVA didn't know what the hell she was talking about when she explained all that. Those are just Big Boss' reasons for leaving the Patriots, nothing crucial, after all.
It's obviously an inconsistency or another retcon. Let's not pretend otherwise.

Thanks! Just been picking up various things over the year when they come out. MGS is my favorite series ever, so I nerd out with it
Y2Kev said:
Yeah, I never picked up PO+ either, or even the MGO expansions because competitive online MGS isn't really what I play the series for. Plus everytime I tried to play MGS3 online I'd get headshotted in 2 seconds ^^;
Erigu said:
They have still much to explain. I have yet to see him references his sons in PW. Yet in the case of the portable ops metal gear it's an inconsistency while here it seem implied it's not. He probably has no ideas. If he doesn't know now, maybe he will get to know eventually... There is still some blank in the timeline. Did he go back to Zero for a while? While did Snake go back to foxhound if he founded Outer Heaven?I mean if you want to find an obvious retcon Miller is one. He is American in MG2 and MGS and now he is Japanese? Kojima likes convulted plot alright.
Well I think we should stop cluttering the thread with spoiler tags :lol

Playing this just makes me hate MGS4 even more, the gameplay was so half-assed in that game. The Drebin Shop should've had something similar to the R&D system seen here, having to actually work for better hardware would've made it so much better.
Vamphuntr said:
Well, that's the thing: he doesn't know about them nor about that project. See Huey's briefing file about the nuclear deterrence theory.
He's supposed to eventually tell Snake that he's his father, so yeah, he will obviously find out at some point.
My point was that him not knowing about all that during the events of Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker contradicts what EVA said about his reasons for leaving the Patriots.

That sure is going to be a hard one to explain for Kojima...
Well, there's simply "convoluted", and then there's "retcon-heavy"... ^^;
Yeah, I guess. ^_^;
Hmmm... so far so good. Completed the tutorial with no issues. Haven't started into the game proper to see if my CFW fixes will fuck up yet. But *crosses fingers* I think getting the damn thing to boot and run is over.
Got an "A" in the tutorial. Didn't know that the cut-scenes have a few QTE, so I missed 3 of them and got ranked that. ARGH. Gotta go back through it and do those perfect to get the S rank, I guess.
I love that using the weapons will rank them up. Plus you get unlocks depending on performance in the levels.
So far that's addicting. Let's see how long that hooks me and if it starts to get irritating.
I do think this is better than MGS4. But that's mostly because MGS4's story was a mess. The only issue I have is that
Which I think will piss off a bunch of MGS3 fans (well, it does me at least but that's because I like their character) in the process. I hope Kojima has a good reason for doing that. Haven't progressed enough to see though.
So far, it's great. I haven't had issues with the Action/MPO controls like I did the demo. However, the gunplay is still sort-of-shitty, but I can deal with it a lot better now.
Kudos for this, Kojima. Def. worth the $40 I paid for it so far.
