It's extremely different to other games so it's hard to compare it to any standard. Stealth games in general have no real standard, you have games ranging from Splinter Cell Chaos Theory to Thief 2, both extremely good stealth games but worlds apart from each other.

The gameplay in MGS2 is excellent. Think of it like Pac-Man you have a top-down radar view of a simplistic maze that you use to gauge enemy positions. Guards have set patrol routes and you simply navigate these corridors around or through the guards. Guards will NOTICE things like:

- You shoot a wall near a guard

- A guard sees your footprints

- A guard or security camera discovers a body,

- A guard discovers a strangely placed cardboard box, empty weapon magazine, or porno magazine (HINT: you can distract guards with things like this)

- Every area has a guard reporting on the status of that particular area. If you neutralize that guard or his radio, HQ will wonder what has happened after a passage of time and send an investigation squad

Guards that are CAUTIONED will call other, better-equipped guards into the area. You go into an ALERT status if:

- You use an explosive or shoot a gun without a silencer

- A guard sees you and alerts HQ before you can neutralize him or escape into another area

- A security camera spots you

Enemies respawn INFINITELY in Alert mode and always know your general location in the area and even the areas near the initial area, you can only neutralize so many before you must hide. That's the basic gist of Metal Gear Solid gameplay. Boss fights have their own respective patterns that you must learn. MGS3 and Peace Walker are similar to MGS2, but take place in more open, less maze-like areas.

I am most psyched about this as I had never played the Substance versions.

I'm going to google on what was different with them.

I don't mind waiting for the PAL release, but I really hope we get a nice LE as well. Maybe throw in one of the new MGS1 Play-Arts Kais? :D

EDIT: Looking at the Grab instructions... "If the button is pressed to hard, Snake will finish off the enemy." Someone made a mistake.

MGS2 is fine, tanker is great, then it takes a HUUUUUGE downturn.

MGS3 is one of the best ever, so many ways to play the game: starve out troops, go total Rambo, animal carer, vegetarian non lethal etc..
and has the best endgame in any title ever! and thats from Kojima, the master of bloatware and gibberish horseshit.

Peace Walker, takes the less if more approach of MGS3 and adds... more. not in the bullshit MGS4 way, but with some simple grinding and resource management.

truely a STEAL for the price it is.
the only negative is that they arent in 3d...

I'd put that one the positive side. 3d adds nothing to gameplay and is merely a aesthetic trick with little value in the end.

Whoo Sneak out!

Is the Peace Walker
Monster Hunter
island or whatever in this version? Also should we set up a PSN chat room for it for those with the PS3 version? Of course it might be awhile since i'm sure we'll go through in sequence or something.

Tried transfarring, It was cool messing with all of the items I had on the psp version. The game loos really nice with the smooth 60fps. Not one person in co-op lobbies or versus ops. (expected)

Oh this is going to be awesome. Still doing my MGS 1 run, but I guess i'll just continue with 2, 3, Peacewalker, then replay 4. Out of order story wise, but still.

It will be my first time w/ Peace Walker too. Not sure if I want to beat MGS3 and play them in order or just jump straight to Peace Walker.

PS3 LE get. Waited an hour @ gamestop, crazy mw madness. Almost didn't get one since I preordered late. But the gamestop employee that had the only one gave up his. Super awesome honestly.

MGS3 is my favorite game ever so I'm playing that first. Then I'm doing Peace Walker since it's all new to me. Then I'm doing an entire playthrough of the series starting with the original Metal Gears (well except for Portable Ops because I don't have a PSP but that shit was stupid anyway).

So transfarring only nets you trophies if you actually started the game on your own Ps3.

Well, the PSP did not have trophies either but I think I want them on Ps3 so I'll guess I have to restart PW regardless.

No there isn't, it received universal praise, with like 3 people complaining. It just sold like crap in the west, and had a bunch of people salty over it not being on PS3.

Indeed, here's the division:

99% of people who played it: 'hey this is pretty good'
1% of everybody else: 'buh buh no dual analog psp is dead hurf'

PS3 LE get!

Worked my GS' midnight for MW3 so I had to wait until everyone was gone to pickup. From what I saw in the boxes, we only had about 4-5 total LE's (including my own) and at least 3 were for PS3.

I suppose I must've encountered a vocal minority in what little of Peace Walker I've allowed myself to be exposed to. Unlike Portable Ops, I never watched a single cutscene on youtube nor did I read the script for PW and I avoided the MGS community to prevent being spoiled. I'm going completely dark into it and I'm treating it as if it were MGS5 (which from what little I know about PW, it actually was called MGS5 at one point). All I pretty much know is it's after MGS3 and POS, Big Boss is the protagonist.

And was the lip synching always that bad? I don't remember it seeming so...off.
