Hey just wondering, I remember hearing about 1 particular cut scene that was supposed to be an hour and a half of nonstop footage.
I've now beaten the game and I know that none of the scenes I saw were a complete hour and a half. Did I miss something?

The epilogue at the end was maybe an hour (being generous); so was that supposed to be it?

That was a dirty exaggeration that a few websites started, to feed their haterdom.

It doesnt exist, theres just the hour long ending one.

Anyone want to play some MGO right now?

[mohaas05]

Anyone, if anyone wants to play send me an invite via PSN (handle is Adiuvo), and we can set up a game.

ah, mkay.

One question, is it a standalone application that u would launch from the Game menu, or is it an addon to MGS4?

[Vanden]

I never really played Metal Gear Solid before but I thinking about getting it.

Now is it a seath game or a action type of game...

Does this cover kill this one guy to get into a room where you face some type of boss. Like from Point A to point B or is it different.

what kind of boss are there?

Now I hear you can play this online can someone exsplane to me what you do?

Do you kill other players,do you all play as snake?What the deal.... Am I going to be playing online for more than 3 months....

Also do I need to play the other 3 games to understand anything that goes on in this game.

You may want to tackle this for three months first.

[Vanden]

spell over 25,000 words in 100 difficulty levels.

I cant handle all that..

Besides all I misspelled was stealth and explain....Other than that I just spaced everything improperly.

Yes, but there's also an "AND MORE" part.

Anyway, sorry for the joke. Back on topic.

MGS4 can be played in both ways. Its supposed to be a Stealth game, but it has good shooting too.

Does this cover kill this one guy to get into a room where you face some type of boss. Like from Point A to point B or is it different.
Not quite. Loads of the time, its a room full of people. You'll have to get around them without being caught or setting off alarms. Or theres jungle parts, snow parts. All these vary the way you have to play. Its hard to sum up how it is, as it changes so often.
what kind of boss are there?
The main bosses of this game, are woman that have been mentally destroyed by war. Due to that, they've had to be put back into the warzone, but in the shape of machines.
Now I hear you can play this online can someone exsplane to me what you do?
Its pretty much the basic MP modes (DM, TDM etc) with the Metal Gear mechanics. So stealth plays a bit part in big maps, but in smaller ones, its pretty much run and gun.
Do you kill other players,do you all play as snake?What the deal.... Am I going to be playing online for more than 3 months....
Modes like DM and TDM you are a soldier, fighting other soldiers. There is a mode though, that one person in the room, becomes Snake. Everyone else is a soldier that has to kill him.

Also do I need to play the other 3 games to understand anything that goes on in this game.
Not neccesarily, but to enjoy it thoroughly (which this game deserves), you should.

Hope that helps.

@Vanden

It can be either if you play on the default. Otherwise you'll have a hard time going through it with purely action. It's pretty much point A to point B, but it doesn't feel that way because the paths aren't linear, and there isn't always a 'challenge' at the end. The bosses attack a lot differently than you're standard grunts, and each suffer from PSD.

Online is pretty much the same as the main game, except that you aren't Snake, and yeah you'll probably play it for awhile. The game explains everything pretty well, though some events (like Shadow Moses) you'll have to go on Wikipedia.

Am I going to have to replay levels over and over if I suck at being stealthy?

Provided your not playing on Big Boss Hard or The Boss Extreme, then no.

[mohaas05]

for me, the only thing I had to look up was how to defeat Screaming Mantis. Everything else, I figured out. Usually Otacon does a good job of guiding you.

I have never played a Metal Gear game in my life and this instantly became my favorite game for PS3. In fact, it encouraged me to get Portable Ops for PSP which isn't as good, but is still fun.

[TheRaiderNation]

btw, anyone know why the Geckos 'bleed'?

Spoiler for Gekko:

Hal explains that their legs use tissue similar to what athletes have. The top part is armoured to protect the computer. Also, Gekko would of been too heavy for in-door ops. They also wouldn't of been as agile and flexible if they had used steel/armour on the legs. It's real tissue, that is why it bleeds.

This was explained in Act 4.

Spoiler for Act 4:

When you are about to unlock the door before facing Crying Wolf. Codec Hal. (Otocon)

Well if you listened to the cutscene where Naomi talks about the syringe suppressing nanomachines, and the one where you learn Vamp is kept alive by nanomachines, it all really comes together.

ya, I did listen to her, and after I found out I was just kinda like OHHHHHHHHH, that makes sense.

[xploren]

Finished the game yesterday. Clocked in at 20:34 on Solid Normal. Earned Eagle. Gonna replay it soon.

Anyone know how the full MGO is? I participated in the beta, but I haven't played the full one yet.

[Mister Chief]

Beat it again.

This time in under 4 hours and with no kills.

[Trigun]

I beat it about an hour ago.

i'm a bit sad now because i was hoping it would never end.

Spoiler for Act 4 Question:

I beat Act 3 last night ans started Act 4 where you are playing that old version of the game. It was late and I was just ****ing around, but what can be done on that level? Can it be beaten? I got shot and killed and he woke up in the chopper and then I turned off the console. So when I play again this weekend, what's the deal with that flashback level.

Spoiler for answer:

i think its for good old memories sake, basically you just had to enter the vents then you wake up, same thing happens when you die.

Spoiler for Answer:

Once you go into one of the vents on either the ground or the upper part of the building by using the stairs to the right it goes back to the chopper sequence and Snake wakes up. I guess the same thing happens if you get shot and die.

It basically is a dream that he is having and I guess you shut it off right before he said that to Otacon.

[Abe_Froeman]

Thanks guys.
