Steve Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I was just curious if anyone is playing this, on the PSP, and if so, what you thought of it? I'm really enjoying it now, after initially feeling frustrated with the controls. I'll post more feedback, at a more godly hour of the day. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n3urotic Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Good game. I just lost Jonathan, part of the storyline :( Actually felt sad for a generic modeled random character with a name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted December 16, 2006 Author Share Posted December 16, 2006 LOL. Annoying... I got email notification of htis thread, and the spoiler and it's associated tags are just plain text. I'll lookout for that then... :( I'm enjoying it more and more, I played in one session, longer than I ever did on my PSP with Portable Ops. The only annoyance, is I picked up Killzone Liberations too, the week before, and I am wanting to play both!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Anthony Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I am loving this game definately* beats Vice City Stories. I haven't played an MGS since Sons of Liberty too. Am stuck the the Metal Gear being driven by Ursula/that medic girl btw I have already spent like 20 hrs on this game. Also try the password JUNKER in the recruit screen.

Steve Posted December 16, 2006 Author Share Posted December 16, 2006 I've only played 5hrs so far, just had to blow up those 3 trucks to divert attention on the bridge . So I am guessing I'm not that far in. On occasions the controls can be a little annoying, for example trying to line up headshots with the nub can be annoying at times. I just hope later, difficulty or alike doesn't ruin the game. At present, the slow pace to the game allows me to, ironically take more time in pulling off contols and so forth in the game. One thing that is annoying me though, I remember early on I could drop off captured to one of my buddies in a box, who would transport them back to the truck for me. I can't work out how I did that. Do the characters in the box, have to be a certain class? I've tried a few random fella's in the boxes, and simply laid my captured down next to them, to no avail. I have been getting annoyed, as a result dragging people A LONG WAY back to my truck. (Man this sounds perverted! :p) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n3urotic Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 You drag multiple bodies to the buddy-in-a-box and call campbell on the special prisoner-extraction radio frequency. The buddy-in-a-box will take care of all of the prisoners at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 I will have to try and figure that out. To my knowledge i've not actually made calls myself on it, only received them, infact I don't even know how to call up the radio receiver... :| I will have to figure it out though, it will make the game less of a chore!

-Anthony Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Try using the L Button to hold down your aim. And am stuck again on another boss. Jeez, After trying like 20 times to beat him. I just cool off in Online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 Cheers, i'll give it a try. I've mastered the box problem, never did try Select before! :) Much nicer now! You know when you goto stats, it has service record, or something along those lines, it looks like it would amount to 100, so I ask, is this the game completion status? Also, recruit over Ad-Hoc (i think), connects to WiFi, and one time it brought up some funky coloured lights and I ended up mashing 'O' and being rewarded a captive. Now, why did this happen, and why doesn't it happen again? Seems confusing to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microsoft Fanboy Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I'm playing just now, the recruitment system is some tiring, get all those soldiers is boring but after the game growns up good and the history is just fantastic (the truth about null).

Now, why did this happen, and why doesn't it happen again? Seems confusing to me! 1) No it doesn't have a completion status just a ranking at the end and different characters unlocked 2) Recruit over Ad-Hoc is a system that you use to get soldiers from different access points even secure ones work, but each access point only works once. I'm playing just now, the recruitment system is some tiring, get all those soldiers is boring but after the game growns up good and the history is just fantastic (the truth about null).

Steve Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 What is the online game like? I've never played PSP online, but given that I am usually battling against the controls, I can't imagine I could handle the pace of online versus, I assume a more lathagic single player experience. So that 'Service Record', doesn't actually directly relate to progress in the game? Odd, what does it refer to, any ideas? Glad I created this thread, nice to chat to others playing the game, it looked like nobody else was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't know what you mean by service record. BTW I just beat the game and it feels another gap in the storyline. Felt like a history lesson too.

I've never really played MGS2 or 3, I made the switch to Xbox during their lifecycles, but I am really enjoying this. I'd love to see the franchise come over to Xbox 360 so I can continue the fight. Playstation, generally doesn't interest me, as a home console. I've had a PS2 since the beginning, but since Xbox, it's barely been used, and let's face it, PS3 is a bit of a mess at the moment, in comparison to 360. Anyhow, bit of a tangent there! How long was your gameplay, to complete the game? I have a feeling i'm taking it slow, I can spend ages on the missions, simply collecting all the enemies and hauling them back to my pimp mobile. :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n3urotic Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 God I did not connect that Null is Gray Fox . That explains a lot of things. It's cool, a lot of things from Metal Gear Solid (PS1) are connected and the "After the credits" phone conversations with Ocelot are always huge cliff hangers and just hits me like a truck @ 100MPH. You cannot say you are a Metal Gear fan until you've played Snake Eater tho. Worth picking up them $100 PS2's just to play that. The stuff about ADAM, The Boss, EVA are all in there. That's where the best story of all Metal Gear games is at. I'm going to grab a PS3 when Metal Gear Solid 4 nears release. (Xbox and Americanized games not my cup of tea, FPS #17 or Racer #12 and NFL Super Ultra Duper 2012). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Anthony Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 It took me 25 hrs in normal mode. But now am addicted to online play lol. After playing Team Capture on that ship map I can't stop. Still haven't picked up Snake Eater though. Ill see if I can get it after your recommendation. Steve as long as you still have a PS2 I recommend both games. The "37" is how many soldiers you currently have including snake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 (edited) Snake eater is MGS3? I might do that, i briefly played MGS2, is it much different? I recall MGS2 being a little more 'Resident Evil' like in terms of how the camera works, and that kind of frustrated me. Cheers Anthony. I might hop online and give it a buzz. I don't usually gun people down in the game though, usually take the game alot slower and pick people off, I can't imagine the online would suit my style of play..

Steve Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 I thought there was a MGS, MGS2 & 3... There's another too? Holy crap! Is it an extension on 3 or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n3urotic Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 MGS1, MGS1 remake on Gamecube, MGS1 port to PC, MGS2, MGS2 remake (substance) for PC/XBOX/PS2, MGS3, MGS3 Remake Subsistence(PS2 only), MGS 4 (future), MGS portable ops. Subsistence is the one with the multiplayer/camera fix. Personally I didn't find a difference between the cameras at all. I beat MGS1 happily with what others might describe at as unplayable gamebreaking camera. I find it serves the purpose of the gameplay fine, Metal Gear Solid isn't a skill-challenging game. It's mainly about watching lots and lots of cinematics and walk from point A to B without dying. That said, I do a lot of the leaning against wall+look around wildly thiing. I would definitely recommend getting a copy of MGS3 either for your PS2, with a PS2, or with a PS3 (if the emulation even works...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 LOL @ your username. Ok, i'll have a look, I imagine it'll be fairly cheap. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGS4-SS Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I love the series, hence my username :D Subsistence is quite cheap, unless you want the limited edition (which sells for $80+). The online is awesome, until someone with the flamethrower thinks he is The Fury and burns everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Anthony Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 ^^ MGS3-SS Do you have MGS:PO ? Wow I love online. I was sniping and I missed like four shots and the kid saw me and he rolled towards me and I stopped him so he hid behind a wall. Well I kept my reticle there and he decided to do that head peak and then headshot. This was the most satisifying* I ever felt in an online game. We should play a few games guys.

Steve Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 Anthony, do you not have an Xbox 360? I have had the same kind of enjoyment, playing Rainbow Six Vegas online... The only reason I've been putting in so much time with my PSP is down to my 360 being repaired. Can't wait for it to come back! I can't imagine what PS2 online is like, especially when I hear BAD things about PS3 online! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
