Metal Gear Solid 4

[Adiuvo]

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

Bout six hours.

Crying Wolf was way too easy. I CQCed most of the troopers, then just got her with three headshots. Her tracks gave her away.

[Urameshi]

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.



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..

I read somewhere that they're making a sequel to Portable Ops, must've been IGN where i read it.

[optics]

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

Still cant figure out the password, anyone got it?

Nope, I heard Kojima was planning on releasing it later though.

I just hid under the truck and head shotted all the troops with my Solid Eye set to NV mode, was easy.

Starting the game again and try and get no alerts this time, my rank was an Eagle after i completed the game.

Took me forever to find out how to kill Vamp. Made me grin from ear to ear when it worked.

I'd love it so much if there was a section you controlled Raiden. He looks awesome.

Yeah i was hoping that too, like with the sword an all.

[Nero]

Stop asking stupid questions.

It's a Hideo Kojima game.

I lol'd when i was fighting Screaming Mantis, typical Kojima :)

[optics]

Ninja Gaiden vs Ninja Raiden? Raiden as a playable character in Ninja Gaiden would've been kool...

[Chrono6456]

Ive only finished act 1, and I can already say this game is the best looking, and best overall game on either 360 or ps3. Im so glad I sold my 360 for my ps3, just the thought being stuck with halo 3 and gta 4 on the 360 sickens me. :) And I cant believe that is coming from a die hard halo fan's mouth.

[FreePlay]

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

You forgot the GBC game... which was actually decent, though non-canonical

[shortboy]

Ghost Babel was fun for handheld VR missions =].

[Adiuvo]

Spoiler for Ending:

Fanservice, anyone? I remember Kojima saying that Big Boss was dead in an interview, but here he comes >_>

Oh well, it definitely cleared things up. I also like how Snake got to enjoy the few years he had left, though I don't see why he let Ocelot come, as the Foxdie would kill him anyways, like it did with Big Boss.

What ending are you talking about? I never remeber that happening?

Spoiler for Spoiler:

Doesnt Snake shoot himself right away?

Spoiler for Spoiler:

Spoiler for Spoilers:

No, there's more cut scenes after the initial credits, if you watch it says the voice actors name for big boss, then it changes to a cut scene that begins with snake breathing extremely hard and fast on the ground.

[Nero]

I don't think you watched the full ending, theres always scenes after the credits like the previous mgs games, and there was another talk after the full credits.

[Mister Chief]

UPS tried to deliver my copy today but I must have been sleeping.

At least it gave me a chance to do some study.

[Nevada]

Just some sleuthing i've been doing to dig deeper into the meaning of things.. :

Spoiler for ;D:

Johnny from rat team 01 is actually the same guy you found outside the cell naked and unconcious, in mgs1, and the same guy who had the ****s and bumped into emma in mgs2.
Theres various other little gems in there that link directly to mgs4.. have a watch :)

[Vee]

Haha thanks for the videos!

Nev, if your not busy, do you think you could compile a full-on list of all the unlockables you've found? I dont mean things like battery extenders, but major stuff like the "stealth chip".

[bmfgeorgin2]

you need to LOAD that save, then you're presented with the difficulty setting menu, start from there.
starting a new game entirely doesn't retail your previous information (obviously)

[Nero]

Nearly finished act 1 with no alerts this time...i want the stealth chip!

Big Boss face camo: Successfully complete the game in Single Player mode on the hardest difficulty using no continues, instigating no alerts, killing no enemies (including Bosses), using no life recovery items, using no stealth suit or bandanna special items (can possess, but not activate), and with a completion time of less than 5 hours.

Isn't that impossible?

[Adiuvo]

Nope, a few guys on Gamefaqs did it. I'm going to try after I complete a no kills playthrough on Big Boss hard.

[Nero]

Heh, I'll try it on my third playthrough or something.

[Tommi]

The Rail Gun is ****ing awesome....

You carry over your Drebin points, weapons, ammunition, items, and special items from a previous game upon game clear. However, Snake will need to encounter Metal Gear II in the first stage to get his stuff back.

The Raging Raven doll is at the top of the building.
The Crying Wolf doll is directly behind you when the Beauty battle/2nd phase starts.
The Screaming Mantis doll is in the northern alcove of the room.

Other Stuff..
Another Egg is when you are asked by Otacon to enter the password at Shadow Moses, if you type in 14893 (Drebin's codec) you will hear Little Gray screech and after wards, receive 100,000 DP.

In the Liquid Ocelot fight, when you reach the 'Naked Snake v. Ocelot' portion of the fight, Ocelot will pull Snake into a stangle hold and if you don't press anything Ocelot will kiss you.

upon following the footprints, u will eventualy see handprints...follow them 2 find the teams hand prints with there signiture next to them further on.

Also, in Act 2, when following the footprints, I came across a crop circle and a vocal flashback of Campbell saying "I was driving home. I had a couple of miles to go--I looked up and saw a glowing orange object in the sky,to the east! It was moving very irregularly...suddenly there was intense light all around me"

in act 1 in the very beginning the statues when you blend in with it you grab its penis and if you let go and go back to blending in with the statue it falls off..

if you call Rose on the codec and shake your controller, her boobs will move lol
