Know what brau, if I got a copy early I'd play something else so I can start with all my brothers on 9/1. The wait is what makes it more fun.

How dissapointing.

Welcome brother!! :)
I can wait to read your impressions of the MGS3 ending.
My favourite MGS BTW.

Sorry if this seems disorganised. It's basically just a stream of thoughts. And sorry about all the separate spoiler tags. I just hate massive walls of white. :p

So I finished it yesterday. When I made my post yesterday, I ranked the game below MGS2 but after finishing it....god damn. First off, this had the best gameplay by far for any MGS that I've played (MGS+MGS2). Being able to control the camera was very nice. The graphics were a big jump over MGS2 which already looked great compared to MGS. I LOVED the survival elements and crawling around in the Soviet Union during the Cold War. It felt awesome. Switching out my camo, doing surgery, hunting for food and making myself puke - only Kojima can make this happen in 2004.

The story was much simpler than MGS2 which was nice.
I loved MGS2 but after each twist or revelation, I had to go through the game again in my mind to think of hints/how it makes sense that X person was doing X thing all along. I only had to do this a few times in MGS3. The game really felt like an adventure. Trying to find Sokolov and progressing through the Tselinoyarsk up the mountain and into Groznyj Grad. The finale with the Volgin and the Shagohod was amazing. I love multi-stage boss fights and this one was especially special. I liked how when I sniped the C3 on the bridge, the Shagohod went into phase 2 and dropped its lower half because this mechanism was explained much earlier in the game. Riding around with EVA from Groznyj Grad through the forest and into the lake while shooting baddies was exhilarating.
This was the biggest MGS for certain.

Taking down the Cobra Unit one by one was fun but there was one standout - The End. The End was the greatest boss fight in any MGS that I've played. Running around trying to find him for so long and shot gunning his wrinkly ass while he booked it was satisfying.
I didn't like Para-MEDIC that much at first but she grew on me. Mei Ling is still top though. Major Zero is awesome. I like Sigint but he was rarely involved in the conversations between Major Zero and Para-MEDIC. It seems like he was a late addition or maybe that's what happened with Nastasha in MGS - I don't remember.

There was a real sense of intrigue and distrust throughout the whole thing. Everyone Snake met had their own motivations and I didn't know what they were.
I found it strange that EVA didn't give the password at the beginning but I ended up forgetting about it. I wondered why The Boss would join up with that idiot Volgin and what she was really planning. And I wondered why Ocelot continued to work with that asshole after seeing how much messed up things he did. In the end, all was answered.

There was also the typical MGS humour. I especially enjoyed the poking fun at Raiden's feminine looks with
Raikov
. I was so shocked when
Raikov grabbed my nuts.
But when
Volgin
did it too, it all made sense. I really hope
Raikov
makes it into MGO so I can grab balls to my heart's content.

This game had awesome music. The Snake Eater theme somehow topped MGS2's theme. It sounds exactly like a theme that I would expect out of the 60s and it is damn awesome. I savoured every moment it played throughout the story. The whole game had a real sense of style, all Metal Gears do but this one went beyond the others. MGSV looks to be taking things to the next level, in that regard. I can't wait.

The final scene with
EVA's explanation
was incredible. It was
so sad
as well. I read up on the wiki and it's even worse. The way
the CIA dicked The Boss around is messed up. I was curious about her WWII baby and instinctively moused over the hyperlink (oops).
It's Revolver Ocelot!
That is so cool. And now that I think about it, it makes perfect sense. I forgot that
her husband was Russian.
They did give each other weird looks throughout the game but I still think that was because they both knew each other's missions.
It seems that this isn't mentioned in any of the games and was taken from an interview or something. Could anyone tell me if the
child revelation
isn't in the games?

I really enjoyed Naked Snake's development throughout the game and how he opened up to EVA. He didn't become
a sappy hippy like Solid Snake did at the end of MGS2 :p
and was a lot less of a smooth talker. It was cool to see the differences even though they had the same voice. I hope to see
EVA
in future titles but the
text at the end said she went missing.
:(

The final fight with
The Boss
was awesome. The
heartbreaking
cutscene before it and the
field of swaying lilies
(absolutely incredible for PS2) added a sense of
sorrow
to it all. It was pretty damn hard too. I felt like I was fighting for my life. At the end, when
Snake was told to shoot her and I did it, I could only feel a sense of regret. Was there another way? Did it have to be like this?
But then I remembered that Snake, The Boss and even Ocelot were all just.....
Guns of the Patriots. I'm going to go start that now. :p

Well what can I say, Ocelot taught me a new way to live. :p

I wouldn't blame you for that. In the end, A better man would wait, but a smart man would play and not talk about it.
The world needs more smart men. :p

Anyone know if for the Intel Acquisition mission in GZ you have to extract the bald marine and the contact in the same run to get them to transfer to TPP?

The intro is terrific. I have never played an introduction sequence like this. it's on a completely different level than most games. It's incredibly polished and just feels great. I had to take a short break to take everything in. It's so overwhelming. In a good way. The wait was definitely worth it, guys.

My first impressions were similar of MGS2 and 3. Oh how I wish I could erase my memory and witness them once again.
Now get to 4 and don't read anything about it anywhere, I hope you haven't been spoiled anything of 4 yet. :]

I had a quiet/big boss background on my xbone one and my fiance was pretty chill with it. I told her that most mgs games are a bit insane but are really the true works of art... I am hoping to get her on the mgsv hype after some cutscenes. She watched the E3 2013 trailer and thought it was awesome.

We had friends come over and a buddy of mine (with his wife) was like "wtf" referring to quiet. He isn't much into console gaming but I just told him that it's the new mgs game and that the creator is literally and insane genius game designer.

I can't wait to see my friends list on 9/1 to see outergaf enjoying themselves. If anyone is playing a different game they will be removed with extreme prejudice

I plan to play the intro when I wake up around 830 am and then go to the gym for an hour. Then it's mgs time till lunch. After lunch, another couple hours of mgs before a second gym session. Then it's shower time dinner and then more mgs till I go to sleep

Oh... Iam so mad. So, went into subdue The Eye and The Finger mission. Knocked one out and got him to a chopper, game saves. Booya. I'm systematically knocking guys out so I don't get caught. I get the the second one and decide to just run it to the chopper as it lands. I pick the landing spot where you typically pull Chico out from by the cliff. I'm running too fast next to the cliff and slip, dropping the other guy over the edge, and dying. Oh well, the game checkpoints well so I'll just roll back to an earlier checkpoint... the game saves that i killed him and the checkpoint starts me from there. GAAAAHHH.

Yikes. The checkpoints are physically based in different places instead of how far you've progressed. It can be annoying at times.

I just hope the GZ save import works if the pc version unlocks early Monday.

It should work if it searches for the saves locally.

Nobody has the slightest clue how the Ground Zeroes save file import works in TPP. We have no idea what criteria TPP is looking for, or what it gets you.

We have a thread devoted to the issue (but it's completely bereft of answers too):

You know, it feels so unreal. We've talked about the hospital scene so many times. The footage has been out there for years, ever since the first announcement. We've analyzed all those little bits over and over in the community thread(s) and had a shit ton of speculation.

So when you finally play that scene, it's a special kind of feeling. Finally experiencing it for yourself. And it's everything we hoped for, guys. And more. I can't contain my excitement for the rest of the game.
