8 Days to go, wish i could go into hibernation.

ditto, though instead of hibernation I actually got around to buying mgs3: subsistence instead

midweek releases are epic fail, means you buy the game, paly for one evening then have work the following morning. friday releases are full of win.

MGS 4 Famitsu Cross Review 10 10 10 10

Quality and Volume is astounding. Fans will like it. Newbies are welcomed through many friendly systems.

Even Gamers that are bad at action games need to play it. MGS Online is included. Cant see a single flaw

Espionage Action and Bossbattles are Intact. Buying Stuff and custumizing is fun

The Cutscenes are astounding and there are many of the,

Online Play is included which is nice

I think there are a little too many cutscenes

Yet You will watch them till the end

Many Extra Content

The Online plays like the main game

A lot of replayability

Octocamo is easy to use

Dont have any problems with the quality of the cutscenes

Too many characters. You will need to play the previous games

Online play is unique

Editor A

An overwhelming amount of quality and volume. Thanks to a lot of great features, long time fans of the series and neophytes alike will be able to enjoy the game. Even if you’re not so great at action games, we really recommend you give this a try. Furthermore, the content in the Metal Gear Online mode is an excellent addition to the main story. A game with seemingly no weak points whatsoever.

Editor B

The familiar sneaking action triumphantly returns, along with boss battles full of tricks and surprises. But even more fun is the ability to purchase and customize equipment with new abilities! The popular cutscenes are also back in huge numbers, leaving you immensely satisfied. Finally, playing the online versus mode with your buddies and linking up is just too awesome!

Editor C

Within the massive amounts of cutscenes there are numerous easter eggs, mixing both the old and the new. Some parts get a little verbose and wordy, but the end is really worth it. Also, because depending on your style of play, many different gameplay elements emerge, the second straight week of play is still fun. Another great point: the Online mode’s rules and system are carried over from the main story mode (?). You’ll want to play it over and over again.

Editor D

“Octo-Cam” allows players to automatically blend in, a system easy for even beginners to understand. We have no complaints about the quality of the cutscenes at all. However, many characters from the previous games appear, so if you want to get the most out of the story, you’ll need a bit of preparation. In the Online Game, modes like “Snake vs Soldiers” are truly unique to this series.

Famitsu translations... dunno how accurate they are.

MGS 4 wants to make you remember where you were 10 years ago

Speaking to IGN, the creator of Metal Gear Solid, a Mr Hideo Kojima commented that MGS 4 will add more enjoyment to the people who have followed the series for ten years because they can always look back and remember what they were doing with their lives. Kojima notes he's chucked in all the elements to allow trips down memory lane. He also confirmed that they have assurance to release the game simultaneously worldwide and he is both excited and nervous to see how the game will be received by the gaming public.

Video interview: http://www.maxconsole.net/?mode=news&newsid=28176

Good to hear Kojima say he agrees there was issues with MGO software side (I presume all the stupid signups), and on the hardware side with the servers unable to cope.

I expect MGO to be/to get much better than the open beta! :yes:

Some nice game play clips with the interview as well.

Also the video shows off how the ipod works in-game through the menus!

GTA4 was a midweek release wasn't it? A Tuesday if I remember correctly?? That was far from an Epic Fail and tbh I can't see MGS4 being an Epic Fail either.

Maybe generally if a game is released midweek it will fail, but a game of this miagnitude won't fail.

you missed my point, midweek releases are themselves total fail, meaning end of week releases are better because it gives you the entire weekend to play. I didn't mean the game itself is fail because of a midweek release.

Quit bitching and phone in sick :p

I'll be doing that :whistle:

1. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998, Nintendo, for Nintendo 64)

2. Soulcalibur (1999, Namco, for Dreamcast)

3. Vagrant Story (2000, Square Co., Ltd., for PlayStation)

4. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (2003, Nintendo for Nintendo GameCube)

5. Nintendogs (2005, Nintendo, for Nintendo DS)

6. Final Fantasy XII (2006, Square Enix, for PlayStation 2)

7. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (2008, Nintendo, for Wii)

8. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (2008, Konami, for Playstation 3)

The only 8 games Famitsu has given 40/40 to.

Hypes me up even more :(

I have no idea why the heck Nintendogs is in there though :/

    • Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
    • Decentralized search result anonymization...
    • Russia invaded Crimea, so not sure what you are getting at. Are you saying that the E.U is like what the USSR was? What is wrong with wanting control over your own country? i bet Trump would not stand by and allow Canada to control the U.S.
