Just read the review in EGMi. Wow, their complaints were just so off. First, they said the game wasn't portable enough because the missions were too long. Second, they said the game was too hard and didn't have checkpoints. Third, they said Portable Ops was a better game.
I sometimes wonder if I play the same game that reviewers do. The missions are like 10 minutes long. If you don't have time to play for ten minutes, then use the sleep mode. I don't see the problem. And since the missions are ten minutes long, do you really need checkpoints?
And Portable Ops being a better game? WOW. I don't know what to say to that, because if you believe that you are obviously living in a different world than I.

I'm almost done the game and I've had very few instances of dying. The game is actually pretty easy provided you do stop from time to time and think about the tools at your disposal, one of my friends is well over halfway through the game and just got the Walkman, (to give you an idea of how little time he has spent growing mother base) and he hasn't had a lot of problems with the difficulty. I guess the game gives you plenty of ways to make the experience harder on yourself without really realizing it, but that sort of stance that says 'you get out what you put in' can also give the player a very rewarding feeling for the progress they are making throughout the game.
Even when the game is easy it's still a lot of fun.

Thanks!
It would be nice if enemies became slightly less absurdly near sighted further into the game. I think it's also because most of the area in the game are fairly simple, and it's not until later areas that you start getting more consistent concerns like watching patrol routes and that sort of thing.

If you already can develop AT mines, I love to use them in tank battles.
Just put one on the path of the tank and when it step to it, it will stop for like 15 seconds, plenty of time to Mk22 to sleep it.

I really need to experiment more with these things :lol
Just defeated
Crysalis and i'm here grinding some parts off it
I just finished the boss mission with the helicopter. At first I thought it was really hard, and I failed 3 times, but then I followed the advice they game me in the briefing about aiming for the the helicopter's tail, and I could do it easily. A rank, twice in a row. If you listen carefully to the briefings and codec dialogues, and you use the right equipment for the right boss, the game is not difficult at all. You just need to use your brain. I don't understand reviewers...

do they work on the armored transport vehicles, too? i've had bad luck with AT mines in the past, but maybe i'm doing it wrong.

I really wished I had listened to the Birefs when I was going through the game. To bad I discovered them late but they still help when replaying missions. They give great advice and tips.

Well, I still think there is some argument for difficulty; some of the late game bosses break the way Metal Gear used to work in that they can drain multiple rations in damage on a single hit. But apart from that there is usually a way through all of the battles.
Yeah. Mountain Dew is now Lime Soda, Doritos are now Tortilla Chips, etc.

five skull helicopter kicked my ass a couple of times. he wasn't the most annoying part, but those 30+ soldiers were. and now another stack of vehicles appeared, fuuuuuuuuuu.
Forgive me if this has already been asked/answered (this thread is massive), or can be easily found elsewhere (I haven't had any luck), but are there any specific "rewards" for S-ranking specific missions, or even all of them? If so, could someone tell me, or at least point me in the direction of where I can find out?
I've completed most of the extra ops, which was kind of exhausting, and I'm not exactly dying to make perfect runs of all of them so soon. I'll probably do it eventually, but for now I'd just like to reap some intriguing rewards, if there are any.

Do I understand correctly one should be able to use the Gustav to fire Fulton rounds? I think I've already made both the ammo and the weapon, but my Gustav just fires explosives. Anyone know how to do this, if at all possible?

Reached the credits, time for rankings!
MGS3 > MGS1 > MGS
W > MGS2 > MGSO > MGS4
Pretty awesome game, finished in around 15 hours I think. I knew about the briefing files but they were so long and boring I never bothered listening to them. The story is probably my biggest issue with the game. I honestly think PO has a better story than this game. PW just felt very unimportant in the grand scheme of the MGS overall story and most of the story elements felt like they have been done before. At least it was better than MGS4 because it managed to avoid shitting on the entire series :lol

I think this is pretty much how I'd rank it, though I haven't finished PW just yet.hamchan said:Reached the credits, time for rankings!

I don't hate MGS4 at all, but I did enjoy PO more.
Yeah MGS4 isn't so bad, you know thinking about it a lot recently. It's actually really awesome, but there are so many elements that hold it back (excluding it's storyline), yet it could have been so much more.
I'd probably rank the games MGS 1 > MGS 2 > MGS 3 > MGS 4 > MGS PW.
The series follows a pretty linear progression in terms of quality for me, although i replay the games often and tend to change my rankings every now then.:lol a while back i used to think MGS 1 > MGS 3 > MGS 4 > MGS2.:lol
Also, there's some extra story content post-ending!

Yeah it pretty much used every MGS cliche in the book, nothing that happened in the game surprised me. I think starting with MGS4 kojima has lost the ability to write / create a compelling MGS storyline. But with MGS PW he probably didn't put much effort in the storyline to begin with, it's clearly a very gameplay-focused title compared to the others in the series.

I really don't understand people criticizing mgs4 for lack of gameplay. I'm doing a bunch of missions in Chapter 5 in PW now and I absolutely love it, but it doesn't even come close to the amount of stuff I've seen in MGS4 on my way to the Big Boss emblem. MGS4 took me 5 complete runs before i could say I had explored and tried absolutely everything the game had to offer.Lafiel said:
Now, PW is the best PSP game I've ever played. It is way way better than portable op in my opinion.

MGS4 was 10 hours gameplay, 10 hours cutscenes, and the gameplay was heavily weighted towards the start of the game. And I think most people are talking about a single normal first playthrough. Most people do not do speed runs or repeated plays of these types of games.NinjaCodah said:

what is a normal playthrough anyway? unfortunately, MGS4 had multiple difficulty settings. if you play on easiest and run through with your stupid weapons you'll get different impressions from people, they play a different game. that's why the lone pure sneaking mission got so much flak, they never played the game properly.
my first MGS4 playthrough was 30 hours long.

Well if you don't spend the effort trying different things, that's your problem, not the game's. You can gun your way through PW and miss on all the gameplay just as easily as you could in mgs4.infinityBCRT said:
It's possible to ignore most of the motherbase stuff(weapon research, captures, side missions, outer ops) if you want.
Anyway, yes or no, is there a reward for completing chapter 5 in PW? can it even be completed?

ya im at ~20 hrs and almost at the end - have not been doing to many extra ops stuff either
So, um...
. After twenty minutes I ran out of ammo and supply drops. I had to quit the game. For a minute I tried throwing smoke grenades at it and zapping its leg with my stun rod, but that did nothing. I can't remember the last time I actually run out of ammo on a boss fight and had to quit the mission. What. The. Fudge?

Damn, Tried to solo ex ops 98 and got whiped out FAST! :lol Damn missions are really hard :S Anyone have passed this mission alone? some tips?
lawblob said:
It doesnt do much but when he uses that move that deflects missles (The orb on his head has a bluish glow in the center), you can get rid of it by shooting the orb with a machine gun. My brother told me chaff grenades also get rid of it but this was after I already beat it and I never went back to try.
With the battle dress and chaff grenades, you can probably fill up your other 3 weapon slots with rocket launchers and go crazy

I said most people *don't* do speed runs, especially on their first playthrough. Meaning they'll explore the game to their hearts content the first time. So most people's lasting impressions of their first (and possibly only) playthrough of MGS4 include sitting through chunks of cutscenes interspersed with minimum amounts of gameplay over the second half of the game.NinjaCodah said:

There are some really amazing moments in this game so far and I think I'm only about 30% into it right now.
when Snake saves Chico, post-pupa discussion with huey
This game has the deepest characterization of any of the Metal Gear games, and the way they set it up really lets you avoid a situation where you regularly had 20+ minute cutscenes in other games. David Hayter steals the show with his performance, and the writing for Big Boss is just a zillion times more interesting than it was for Solid Snake in MGS4, and dare I say perhaps even MGS1.
Wish they didn't cut out dragging bodies, crawling or sticking to walls. I guess those functions more or less are rendered useless in this game but would be nice to still have them anyway for nostalgia's sake. Guards are also a little nearsighted in this game compared to Snake Eater, but I'm guessing they did that because its a portable. Maybe my memory is failing me but I remember in Snake Eater if you were 50 feet away guards would be able to see you unless you were camoflauged really well.
Still an amazing game so far. This game also has some of the best music/sound out of any Metal Gear game. Some of the review scores are ridiculously low, don't believe 'em. I just came off playing Portable Ops and I can't believe the metacritic score of Portable Ops is even close to this game. If Portable Ops is 87, this game is a 99 in my book (realistically Portable Ops should have been a 70 at BEST).

I'm having a problem on the 4 and 5 skull bosses in extra ops. I've gathered that the best/only way to beat them solo is through stealth, and that worked well so far, but I don't have enough fulton balloons to take care of everyone quietly. I've managed to make use of the fulton mines, but I don't think that will be possible for bosses where the enemies don't all pop out in the same place, since the fulton mine's area of effect wouldn't be large enough.
Without the knife, I feel kind of screwed as far as stealth eliminations go. I got so desperate that I tried just shooting dudes in the back of the head with a silenced weapon, but no dice. :lol

Bring fully upgraded fulton system and mines. When you've used all of them use the support strike gun and they stop and you kill 2-4 enemies easily(hard to do full stealth on bosses since they have up to 28(most I've seen so far) backups. You can hold up the enemies and place C4 in between them so you can blow it up while hiding. Only other way I can think of doing a kill run without the fulton gustav is holding up/tranq the enemies and hope they get run over.
Finally S-ranked Ex ops 128, Took around 16 minutes(previous ex ops against that bastard took around 7). Reward item is fucking useless :/ since I've S-ranked the other Monster Hunter ops. Would have been useful if it was the reward for the first monster hunter ops but useless for the last.

Damn outer ops S++ misions keeps destroying my tanks/choppers...
What vehicles are easy to get and hold up in those missions?
Also, my Zeke is slow, it attacks every 2 turns... does getting AI's improve that? If so, which one? Movement? Attack?
