do I need to fill the AI thing for the secret ending to unlock? my ZEKE is already operational and I did the 6 Zardonov missions, do I need to fill the thing or listen maybe to the Strangelove tapes

Spoiler

I think that all you need to progress from there is a completed ZEKE (4 main parts) and the railgun optional part

 

[Chairhome]

I forgot to mention my favorite piece of dialogue so far, if you ask Miller about Snipers/Gillie suits.

Spoiler

Snipers... I've dealt with them before. Was his head shiny? Did you hear a talking parrot? "What are you talking about?"

No. You need to...

Spoiler

- Get a S rank on the Paz date mission.
- Be sure ZEKE is not on employed in an Outer Op mission.


Do that, then go to the second floor on EX Mission 001. You'll find Zardonov there and soon after that the shit will hit the fan.

 

[Graphics Horse]

S Rank thing isn't true.
I think you may need all optional parts equipped but not sure about that.

I only had the railgun and jetpack when I did it.

 

[TTP]

Well, yeah. The guide doesn't say it's needed but it still wouldn't trigger to me until I got that S rank.

These are the requirements as for the official guide:

Spoiler

- Complete Zadornov Mission 6
- Mother base must have been upgraded to two plants
- Railgun equipped on ZEKE
- Wait for Kaz to inform you Zadornov has escaped again (happens after comleting 3 Ex missions after the above requirements are fulfilled.
- Load Ex Mission 001 and go to second floor.

I did those, but nothing happened. Had to S the Paz date mission as well.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Just wanted to say that the animations for the metal gears are some of the best in the series. When a boss rushes you, you really feel all the weight behind him. Defintely my favorite mechanised battles in the whole franchise.

 

[Salaadin]

Has anyone played MGS4 since playing PW? Im finding Old Snake to just move so slow compared to Big Boss. I know hes Old but damn, it feels so different to me.

[revolverjgw]

How do I deal with the deluge of soldiers during vehicle battles without killing everyone? I don't have anywhere near enough fultons to get every soldier out, so eventually there's 4 unconscious dudes that I can't do anything about except hope that the vehicle drives over their face.

 

[LaneDS]

So I picked this up last weekend (borrowed my brother's PSP to do so) and then learned he needed a bigger memory stick to play the game. So I'm waiting for one to arrive from Amazon. A question: I know that

Spoiler

you work towards building Metal Gear in some form

throughout the game... how big of a spoiler is that? I'm hoping "not much" as I'd like to be surprised as I play through.

Not a big deal. Enjoy the game! Lots of surprises ahead.

Quick question about the closing credits that I'm burning to know:

Spoiler

The End from MGS3 is credited, with his original voice actor. When is he in the game?

I know that I ran out of fultons during the hind battle but found some laying on the ground as a pick up. You might want to look around some.I'm not sure if all the vehicle missions are the same way.

Spoiler

You can receive a call from him in an extra op, I think you'll figure out which op it is when you'll do it (it's the last one of its kind, and you have to call multiple times as the answer is random, aaaaand you'll win a new camo doing so :]).

Excellent, thanks. Will post back next week once I've gotten a chance to actually play it.

 

[Mejilan]

Buddy has been regaling me for the past hour or so about this one, and given that I've been playing portable RPGs non-stop on my handhelds since well into last year, I think I'm due for a change of pace.

The only hitch is that I haven't played an MGS since my MGS Twin Snakes, MGS2s double-header years ago. I've got MGS3s, MGS4, MGS PO, and now MGS PW on the backlog, but I at least want to play through MGS3s and MGS PO before starting MGS PW.

Maybe this weekend...
If I can finish Strange Journey by then!
Kind of psyched for it, now!

 

[EekTheKat]

Did a test last night with the (weapon spoiler)

Spoiler

EM Net

in an ad-hoc coop session and it was hilarious.

Basically we were able to

Spoiler

capture a vehicle in roughly 3 minutes

with a bit of coordination. Once the

Spoiler

net actually didn't fire

and we were scrambling to set it back up again.

The catch is of course

Spoiler

you can't earn an S rank if you use an EM Net

. But it's a nice change of pace from the usual non-stealth oriented shootouts that public games tend to devolve into.

I ended up finding kojima about 40 hours into the game. Weird how that works.

I have keeping an eye out for him, but not yet.

I do have this one guy with a olde fashioned mustachio, and a monocle or glasses. I tried taking one of my soldiers out to a boss battle, but they couldn't take supply markers out with them. Is that an experience thing?

Do those characters level up much faster if you take them out on real missions?

 

[Snake-87]

You're out of luck, like myself. Uniqlo's largest shirt size is XL which is a US Large.

fat people are human too >.> .

I dont know if you can. Last place I know of was Kid Samurai (which is run by a fellow gaffer and his wife I think) but theyre mostly out of stock too. Plus Im not sure about shipping to Kuwait.

I talked myself out of it but I really want the dog tags shirt again. I should just cave in and buy it but Id probably never wear it. Ugh

thanks .. i have a us mailbox i should use it .

 

[Lafiel]

Beat the game yesterday. Took me 17 hours.

Really awesome game, probably one of my top three games of the year. It's everything i wanted in a hand-held follow-up to MGS4. Going do all the extra ops and get all the metal gear zeke parts so i can see the post-credits ending!

To express disappointment, i think i'm disappointed with the storyline in this game. It was fairly enjoyable as a backdrop to the game play, but for a main-line MGS title it was pretty disappointing. Kojima needs to stop fucking around and needs to let go of his

Spoiler

constant referencing to MGS3, let it go snake err i mean kojima.:lol and actually have some plot-progression in the big boss titles.

[Augemitbutter]

can you run out of ammo in this game?

i've always had full ammo at the start of a mission, so why do you get extra ammo from outer ops, or why does extra ammo get send to mother base in regular missions?

Never had an issue with ammo either. Perhaps it becomes a problem for trigger happy people? I play the game as it is intended to be played.

same here, i've only killed people in boss battles so far.

 

[Crazymoogle]

You can run out of ammo by essentially grinding, ie, if you fight bosses continually and use multiple supply drops per fight, you can eventually run out of Gustav ammo, for instance. I think VS/COOPS ammo use also drains your totals.

If you play the campaign single player a lot, it's pretty hard to drain your totals much though; I'm at 9999 for most ammo types.

 

[Ninja Kn1ght]

I love this game but trying to capture 5 Red-Skull choppers solo is incredibly hard when it does so much damage. I got the captain down to about 10% health once.

I'm trying to complete ZEKE, where can i get the (Boss spoilers)

railgun? any of the AI bosses? The only one the seems to have a railgun of it's own it the flying one. But if i target it and damage it I can't get it, only the AI boards. So is it a matter of luck?

Thanks.

Don't target it. Bring

Er, so how old is Paz?


And is there a way to select multiple soldiers so I can fire their worthless asses? I remember this being a problem in the Ops games.

Nobody knows, her name and age were given by Cipher

Fill up your codec slots with as many positive lines as you can (you may have to get more heroism points to unlock more) and use each on her twice or so (until that line doesn't trigger hearts over her head).

Goes for the others too

If there was a way i would love to do it

I've never had trouble with it in the other games. It could be the psp that held me back or just this one scenario. Regardless, no

Spoiler

QuickTime button mash sequence should hold a gamer back from progressing in a game. I almost died in an alert right after it and nearly had to repeat that shit. I would have screamed if that had happened.
