Metal Gear Solid 4

[Vee]

I noticed that! It could either mean, two more games coming. Or it just kept going but the screen hadnt scrolled down.

Its interesting and hasnt been mentioned yet in this topic.

[optics]

Two things:

What do you get extra goodies for in this game? In MGS3, you'd get the camo of the boss's if you killed them with tranqs. Does the same apply in this?

Yup! You get B&B face camo, their actual face. I have all the face camo except for one.... Big Boss

[Nero]

On act 4 right now, had to put the game down since some guests have come.

[filberto]

Do you think that this game will be enjoyable for someone who has never played any games in the MGS series, or will I understand nothing and be totally confused?

I know I might receive some stick for not playing any of the games, but meh.

I would say no, too many storylines that are closed from an early stage. I haven't played it yet due to a school trip but my brother has and he says that there are bits which will end threads of the storyline Kojima set up.

Rent out the others and to make it even better play in a set order

Metal Gear Solid 3/Subistence - Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops - Metal Gear - Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake - Metal Gear Solid - Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty/Substance - Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

Metal Gear Ac!d and Metal Gear Ac!d 2 go somewhere but i dunno

That is a recommened order to understand the storyline completely other wise do MGS, MGS2, MGS3, MGS4

I got my copy of the game today. Very stunning weapons ect.

I just finished playing for about 2 hours, so far it has been very fun and exciting. I just finished making my way through the broken house and got the barrel. Can anyone please tell me what all these non sense things are such as the tv sort of thing before the game, I think its just the loading part or something, but it allows you to change some channels and stuff, and I just saw someone cooking eggs in a pan, WTF? Anyways, this game is really cool, and hard at times, Metal Gear Solid 2 was the only other one I played, and I loved it, it was much easier then this one. I cannot find out where to go after I get out of the house and get the drum.

[Nero]

Played a bit of online, had to put the game down now, i'll start act 4 tomorrow morning

[Vee]

So besides Boss's face camos, what else can you get?

[Sullivan]

Can anyone please tell me whats up with the WTF moments in MGS4?

[Mister Chief]

Can anyone please tell me whats up with the WTF moments in MGS4?

Stop asking stupid questions.

It's a Hideo Kojima game.

[conroy101]

I got the game thursday, and right now I'm about to start act 5. So far i think this game is unbelievable, in all aspects. The only other MGS game that I've played was the MGS 1 for ps1, but i still understand the story. Just can't wait to finish the game

The eggs are what Sunny's making. You'll understand it later on in the game and why it's significant, kinda. As for the commercials rials, they are ads for PMCs.

Also, did anyone get Kojima's signature at SF today? I tried, but I came too late, so the line was huge

[Trigun]

I would play it on 720p if I were you.

Progressive scan > interlaced.

it's what i have. and it looks fine to me. clear as day.
my tv only supports 1080i

[Tommi]

I got it at around 2pm UK time, but didnt play it until after food, bath, doctor who.....

OMG, what a game..... I finished act 1 in around 5 hours, cutscenes all watched....

I must say though, it is absolutely amazing to play...

[optics]

Spoiler for Act 5 & a few other things:

Is it possible to die in the microwave hallway?

Did you guys know that there were special attack animations in the game, mainly Rex vs Ray and the last battle.

Ever tried frisking one of the Frogs? You know when you frisk an APC, Snake grabs the dude's private area and knocks him out, try it with one of the Frogs, they are all female.

Spoiler for Big Boss:

Do you think David Hayter should've done Big Boss's voice? Only cause Hayter did Naked Snake's voice in MGS3. It would be weird having a conversation with the same voice though.

Do you think that this game will be enjoyable for someone who has never played any games in the MGS series, or will I understand nothing and be totally confused?

No, but you would miss out on the nostalgic moments, and the overall impact.

So besides Boss's face camos, what else can you get?

Guns, special items like a bandanna and stealth chip (which both are purchaseable at a ridiculous price, but can be easily unlocked for free), a few songs, & Altair's costume (of course)

I was gonna go, but I knew it was gonna be like that, so I didn't go.

In the Main Menu, under the Extras sections, there is an option to put in a password, any know anything about that? I'm guessing its some type of special download. I know it wasn't asking me to sign on cuz I already was online.

in one of the briefing parts (sunning making eggs).. she says various numbers.. ;)

[FreePlay]

Gahh, I knew I should have written them down...

[optics]

Fibonacci number http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number I'll try it later, gotta get my rest on.

7892990360330930548820466 52
912358 13 21 34 55 89 144 233 377 610 9 87 15 97 95 83 84 85 23 44

work it out.

also hit triangle and scoot around the oplane durign cutscenes, shock otocon for weird flashbacks and his face camo, and moarrr...

[FreePlay]

Shock him? How do you shock him?

I got a battery during the Act 2 briefing...

[optics]

Well I thought I would stay up a bit more to try the password before heading to bed...

7892990360330930548820466 52
912358 13 21 34 55 89 144 233 377 610 9 87 15 97 95 83 84 85 23 44

work it out.

Work it out? I'm guessing you don't know the password either. The first line is really 7892590360... 3305305... 4882046652 That was from the first briefing.

The 2nd line from the 2nd briefing is really 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144 233 377 610 987 1597 2584 All Sunny is doing is adding the last 2 numbers to get the next number, which are the Fibonacci numbers.

Shock him? How do you shock him?

I got a battery during the Act 2 briefing...

You just gotta bump into them, you don't have to use the R1 button, just drive right into them, they won't notice the shock. You can press UP on the D-pad to extend the height of the camera, if you don't like the ground view.

[Nevada]

Stuff during the briefings :

Spoiler for Act 1 Briefing:

1) battery extender
2) ammo
3) shock : otacon, campbell, snake - gives Otacon face camo

Spoiler for Act 2 Briefing:

1) battery extender
2) shock : otacon, snake, sunny, the remote on the desk in the middle - gives Raiden (visor closed) face camo
shocking the remote is just for luls, puts 3 different idol model pictures on the main screen ;D

Spoiler for Act 3 Briefing:

1)1) 2x ammo at the front of the helicopter - nothing more here as far as i can tell

[Sir_Axxewraith]

I just saw a TV ad for it.

I'm buying it :|

[kylepsp]

Finished it yesterday, amazing game didnt disappoint, I loved the last battle.

Still cant figure out the password, anyone got it?

[Vee]

I've just beaten Crying Wolf, how much of the game is left?

[shortboy]

I would say no, too many storylines that are closed from an early stage. I haven't played it yet due to a school trip but my brother has and he says that there are bits which will end threads of the storyline Kojima set up.

Metal Gear Solid 3/Subistence - Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops - Metal Gear - Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake - Metal Gear Solid - Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty/Substance - Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

Metal Gear Ac!d and Metal Gear Ac!d 2 go somewhere but i dunno

That is a recommened order to understand the storyline completely other wise do MGS, MGS2, MGS3, MGS4

I'd suggest going in release order instead of storyline so that the player experiences the same stuff we do by putting the pieces together.

So I'm not digging through 600 posts, but I figured I'd mention...

Anybody else notice the hint at making two more games? When you meet up with Naomi in South America, she talks about how the nanomachines make war seem like a game... and in the FMV, there's a scrolling set of icons listing all the Metal Gear games. Beneath the one for MGS4 are two icons saying "Under construction".

I noticed this the 2nd time I watched it but it slipped my mind the first time around because I was staring at the icons above xD.

What I'm hoping is that Hideo decides to release a "substance" version of MGS4 with all the deleted scenes that had to be taken out to reserve data space haah. Probably call it...

Metal Gear Solid 4: Subsequent..

[Nero]

Just finished the game, truly amazing...

[Nevada]

Really you only need to play 1-4, the psp games and pre-playstation ones dont really play such a significant part in it.. if anything it's MAINLY 1 and 3
