Oh man, you can recruit Kojima. :lol :lol :lol

He's worth it, too, since he's A-rank for both Medical and Intel.

He's S in mine :lol

So there is different versions of the Ad-Hoc software? From my understanding I need the US version to play with US people? The 'Australian'(?) version to play with aussies etc?

So to get the US version ill need a US PSN account?

Thanks.

Also hating the late release date for Australia

 

[Ephemeris]

I wanted to do some ad-hoc partying yesterday night, but there was no one on the US servers.

I was playing for 5 hours straight on the US version last night.

I should add it was yesterday night here in Japan, so maybe noon in the US

Man, it takes sooooooooooooooo long to do a no-kill on the Hind. Awfully rewarding, though.

You don't have to collect anything where you are at in the story, assuming you've only fought one AI. You'll have to go back and take them on again once the MG Zeke project begins. The only thing I had to farm for was the armor off of Cocoon... everything else was very easy to get, but from what I've heard you don'T even need the armor to complete Zeke

Spoiler

The Metal Gear Zeke project has already begun, but I don't have enough component to even build a single piece of it yet. Is it worth it to go back and fight the Pupa some more to at least get started on the thing?

Yep this.

This game is just great so far, I'm a little bit after the first boss and I'm really loving it. It's not quite like any of the previous MGS games and yet it's like all of them.

Kojima :bows

Kojima granted him sainthood for his good works.

Any NYC Gaffers going to see Kojima at the Union Square Best Buy on Friday? He's gonna be signing copies of PW from 6-8pm.

I'll try to hit that one up as well. Considered resurrecting this thread (The Secret Meetup Thread of The Patriots & The Wisemen's Committee), but the hype doesn't seem to be as big as it was two years ago.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Holy hell... How do I beat the final boss alone?

5 skulls ranked mission. Is the only way to win is to grind for the best missile launcher? Right now I'm using rank 3 missile launchers and firing all of my rockets remove only one lifebar :lol :lol .

Edit: I really gotta stop crossing tags.


Yay! I can finally develop the Tommy Gun (well, a variant of it) and my R&D has reached a level to let me make Rations rank 2 (one more ration, I guess, whoopie?) and Smoke Grenades Rank 2 (bigger smoke range?) I haven't played around with the smoke too much. Doesn't seem too useful except for ninja/crossing areas stealth or trying to hold up dudes. Makes it hard to see the area for me.

I'm in that photo as well. The woman walking by totally blocks me out from the picture. Coincidence? Or S-Rank Stealth?

I beat the final boss! It was easy after all if you use the supports.

 

[autobzooty]

Has anyone played a lot of coop stealth? It seemed really fun, but given that all the missions are doable in single player and the difficulty doesn't scale as well as the boss battles, it seems like it's just not as popular of a multiplayer choice as the monster hunter style boss battles.

anyone disagree? i wish that there were some stealth missions that could only be done in coop, maybe as extras or something.

 

[TheSeks]

Fuck. How the hell do you S rank Extra Op 18? I did it 0 alerts/0 kills 1min:58sec and only get an A-rank. >:| That pisses me off as I didn't tranq anyone and only CQC'ed one fool. :|

 

[Vamphuntr]

Overall I found the game pretty awesome. The very last chapter was a mess though. It seems they did this in a rush. All of the main ops in this chapters are repetitive. It's also awkward to make the plot progress . You basically have to look at the faq to know what to do. Pretty sure a lot of folks won't even play the chapter as a whole.

I stilll have a hard time deciding if the ending was super awesome or super lame.

the female model for Amanda and Cecil that you can view in motherbase is also really good. looks noticeably higher res than Snake in game/cutscene model.

I'm going to buy this game soon but I haven't decided yet if I should go for the UMD or digital version. I have been thinking if the next PSP is going to have retrocompatibility only with digital content.

What do you think?

Oh, and obviously I have a PSP 1000, not a Go.

I have a question. When you're playing a co-op mission and you capture someone via fulton, do all the players get the same recruit? Or is it the player who made the capture? And if so, are the stats identical?

Everyone gets all the benefits from a mission when it's completed.

So I'm really enjoying this game. Only thing I take issue with is that

the first three bosses are machines.Where are the unique bosses I'm used to in MGS?

Is it like this the rest of the game?

It's actually pretty insane for the PSP. These types of visuals would never have been expected early on in the systems life. It doesn't look as good as MGS3 overall, but it definitely holds up favorably.

It's a massive leap over Portable Ops, though. The map layouts were so limited and boxy in that game. Peace Walker maps feel like proper MGS environments (though often a bit smaller).

Aside from rough image quality, the PSP still produces better handheld results than just about everything else. The phones are making strides, but they just can't deliver the same type of performance. The PSP hardware is still ahead of the game.

 

[Erigu]

Interesting, Could that be the scene they had to cut for Japan?

Kojima didn't say they had to cut something, just that they had to soften something for the Japanese version in a scene that's pretty much a staple in the series by now. So yeah, that's clearly what he meant by that.

[Majima Everywhere System]

A couple quick questions:

I noticed that the PSP has a wide and normal color space in the system settings. I was surprised it defaulted to Wide. It looks like it overdoes the color a bit, but if developers are programming games assuming everyone has it on, then it would be "correct" and the normal color space would be washed out.

One of the nice things about handhelds, unlike TV's, was that you were guaranteed to be looking at the developers color intent. This throws a wrench into that, sadly. Any idea which is best?

The other thing is that I can't for the life of me figure out how to change my clothes.
