Just did 200 pull ups and got to level 3 grip, then walked 3 paces and fell off a ledge. FML.

Peace Walker's exclusion is enough for me to not want this anymore. It was one of the only MG games I haven't played yet and wanted to play it as a portable release, but also without having to deal with the jaggies on the PSP along with improved camera controls. Bummer.

So I'm near the end of MGS2 (
) and I completely forgot how insanely ridiculous and out of this world the story was, lol.
. It's been so long since I've touched MGS2 I completely forgot all of these aspects.
Raiden being ass naked in HD glory
When Otacon's sister dies and he starts going on about how he was seduced by his step mother and that's why his father committed suicide totally threw me back and made me go, dubya-tee-eff?
I was enjoying MGS2 a lot up until the bomb search backtrackathon. After that is when the story really starts to go off the rails, too. It'll just make playing MGS3 feel so much better!
Man, MGS2 could have been so awesome if they had just hired an editor. I'm even fine with the trippy mindscrews and bizarre conspiracies, but the amount of dialogue needed to be cut by 2/3s.

Sorry just had to clarify- I don't think I ever did co op missions on the PSP version of PW, looking forward to it. I really do love that game!!of course.

Agree with Dark and everyone else. Such a cocktease when MGS2 jumps to 60fps. Devs should have fucking known better and locked it to 30.
Didn't hurt me none in Sigma Plus (DAT image PQ) and it would have been just as fine here
Fluctuating framerate DOES cheapen the quality of it all.
That being said...
OMG OMG OMG Snake in my pants!!!

Finally got accustomed to the controls and am loving it. Having never played MGS2 before,
Pretty damn sure about that
I'm at the part where I have to freeze the c4 and have 2 to go. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that Pliskin == Solid Snake? l0l

You may be on to something...
Haha
On another note, I FINALLY managed to beat all of Raidens Handgun and assault rifle VR missions. Took me a while ._.
But now I am stuck on PSG Level 3! Woo. Does anyone have a good sniping spot there?
Edit: Nvm, finally got it to work after changing my shot sequence.
Edit2: Ugh, same area for PSG level 4

HELP!?!
With advance controls, is their a better manual online somewhere? The in game manual is very basic.

Hm, my memory is too foggy on MGS3, but for MGS2 (which does not have as much CQC as MGS3):
Searching the enemy as in getting items = Pressing square over their dead or unconscious body.
Otherwise, if they still live (or you want dog tags):
1. Sneak up behind an enemy, equip a pistol, and get close to them. Press and hold square. If Snake says "freeze" and the enemy shows his hands, you have done this correctly.
2. Now keep pressing square, while you press L to move while continuing to aim your weapon (otherwise the enemy wont stand still). After you moved in front of him, let go of L and press R to go in first person mode.
3. Aim at his head, usually he'll start shaking and will drop dog tags or items.
3a. In case he doesnt shake when aiming at this head (and saying stuff like "SHOOT ME.", you need to fire your lethal pistol at his leg, so that he'll be afraid. After that aim at his head and he'll drop the items as well.
CQC wasnt that advanced in MGS2 yet, but the other stuff I can think of is:
1. breaking an enemys neck - Walk up to an enemy, let go of all direction buttons, repeatedly press square. Will kill him, but is at least quiet. Afterwards you can still shake his body for items.
2. Throwing an enemy to make him unconscious - Walk up to an enemy from behind and press a directional button. I think its either forward or backward (walking direction).
3. Running towards an enemy and press X while running. That flip can knock an enemy unconscious as well. You might need to repeat that twice or something.
4. Using an enemy as a shield = Walk behind an enemy, let go of the stick, press square once and keep it pressed. That way you'll move him around and he'll act as a shield in case you are in a firefight.

Thanks Man, I was tired of getting my ass handed too me in the forest, because It was a sneak mission and i will always alert those bastards.
No problem! MGS3 has actually way more stuff, but the MGS2 stuff should be enough to get you through the game =p
And what I described was MGS2, I hope most of it still works the same way in MGS3.

Finding that last bomb was annoying.
You actually don't have to injure an uncooperative enemy to get their dog tags. There's two additional ways to make them drop it:
1. Fire an unsilenced gun by their ear (obviously, you don't want to shoot their head)
2. Equip the Stinger and aim it at them (the best method

True, but it will take a while until you'll find the stinger =p
Apparently doesnt matter for him anyway since he is playing MGS3, though.

Gotta love the attention to detail in MGS games.

Yeah, that's really cool.
For you guys who have played both, how does the Vita version compare to the PS3 version? I know it's missing Peace Walker, but that's not a big deal to me. I'm just wondering about presentation/performance. Have the one for Vita, but I haven't opened it yet
Lord Error
Insane For Sony
I'm trying to log-in to PSN so that when I save the game for the first time, the trophies would transfer back and fort with PS3 version. However, no matter how many times I try, it won't log in to PSN. It's stuck on the "Connecting to Playstation Network... Please Wait..." screen forever. I had this exact same problem the other day with LBP demo. On PS3 I can log-in to PSN without a problem. On Vita PSN logging is haphazard even outside of games. I can for example see trophies but can't see friends (same forever stuck screen). Is this normal due to some recent PSN maintenance, or what gives?
*edit* Nevermind, restarting Vita has resolved this completely.

This is so amazing to be able to lay in bed and play a near perfect version of MGS3 on a handheld.

d'oh.. I sold MGSHD PS3 to bestbuy in order to pay for the vita version... and didnt upload my savegames first.

I can understand that they don't want to sell Peace Walker on Vita because of DD Version (I can understan it... not approve it I mean...)
But....
Well, at least a price drop to 9.99 in the colleciton launch window, or a voucher to buy it with a discounted price... there's a lot of things konami can do to avoid being complained...

With low resolution, low framerate, and incorrect control support.
An HD port is obviously preferred.

PSP games look just fine on Vita. haven't tried Peace Walker since I don't want to doubledip at 20€, but many other games which were a bit cumbersome on PSP are much improved by Vita's additional control methods, hardware & screen (they look awesome).
I am still hoping/daydreaming for a PSP pack rerelease, MG Acid 1+2 + Portable Ops + Peace Walker
Peace Walker in proper resolution would be ace, even as a standalone game for a reduced price. Don't think thats going to happen though since its already available in PSP form

It's really a shame, because that shoddy framerate is exactly why I'll never buy this for the Vita.
Eh, its not as bad as it sounds. I thought it would bother me more, but most of the time its pretty solid.
the framerate isn't that big of a deal, it still runs really well. I would recommend to get it.
Yep, I am still having a stupid amount of fun with it. Wouldnt have thought this game could hook me this much again.

Popped this into my Vita today.

Erm, the framerate is far from shoddy.
It is 60fps indoors, and 30 outdoors, and 15 hours into MGS2 I have not had it dip below 30.
MGS3 is a locked 30fps.
The Vita version is fine framerate wise.
Would have preferred locked 60 everywhere for MGS2, but hey, it looks great and I am playing it on a freaking handheld. I still remember watching the first E3 trailer and having my mind blow that a video game could look that good. And now I can play it anywhere.

Guys we're playing one of the best looking PS2 games - on a handheld.
Fuck the negative hype about Vita.
