Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Just realised from reading the manual. It makes sense to go to "Mission Briefing" and watch it on the main menu, before you start a new game!

The manual does advise you to do this ;)

Haha...

I was playing dead in an area with a few PMC troops. None of them could see me and they were finally moving out the area when one of them tripped over me :laugh: Got back on his feet then he then kicked me, and bam *alert*...

Audioboxer you're famous my friend. I just read an article on AeroXP mentioning you and early MGS4.

I'm going to Walmart after work to see if they have it or not. I also have a limited edition pre-order from Gamestop.

Enjoy it Audio and keep us posted. :D

Post it to digg?

Heh I didn't say it ran "natively" in 1080p, I just said it choose that resolution itself, meaning by default the game is happy to upscale. I seriously doubt it's 1080p native with the amount that goes on at times.

I also cleared up my initial thought of the game disc being UK PAL. It's not, it says on the disc itself "for use in Australia" - I have no idea why the disc HAS the UK 15 rating though, that is strange. Maybe just a slip up by Konami.

Still on the first act guys, I'm taking my time, but it's sweet :woot: Not fought any boss battles yet.

I'm pretty sure it will run the same as MGO (1024x768)

I personally think it looks better than the MGO beta a fair bit, but I'll reserve judgement until the pixel counters do their thing.

Metal Gear bundle kills amazon.com

Well, good job folks. We told you that amazon.com would sell the Metal Gear Solid 4 80GB bundle today. And you all listened. Thousands of you swarmed the site, got rid of their inventory in seven minutes, and best of all -- you killed amazon.com.

Demand for the Metal Gear bundle was so high, that the popular online retailer simply couldn't handle the traffic. If this is the fervor in just one store, imagine how well the bundles are going to sell when they release nationwide next Thursday.

Anyone grab a bundle?

ps. I met Drebin, he's cool as!

The amount of guns I've seen so far is impressive, and the gun customization looks pretty deep :D The system for gaining drebin points works really well, it doesn't hinder you with manually selling guns/items in menus. I won't explain any more though, see for yourself!

Wow, they took down AMAZON, hahaha

Edit: Nevermind.

I'm going to check out Wal-Mart later today.

Discs might be off the same production line then seperated for packaging, probably no different to how we sometimes get Irish ratings on our DVD's.

OMG just fought with the frogs for the first time :| That is all im saying.

(mild spoiler, names an enemy in the game we know about, however you may not if you've not read anything/much on MGS4).

By the way, LOL, Amazon is still down!

ahhhhh, when you say frogs you mean that squad unit of mini soldiers, not the new metal gear thingies with feet

Anyways, i was gonna ask you something about them but i think i'd rather not spoil it, still waiting on some pics (not spoilers tho, menus, guns maybe?)

I mean the prior, the later are called Geckos.

Nah don't spoil anything, seriously. This game has to be played without spoilers ;)

I'll take some screens of the weapons and customization options!

As usual none of these screens contain any major spoilers, however on request of Sethos, and probably others, I'm not image tagging these anymore - Direct links only.

All the screens show off the player weapons menu, and give you an idea of what parts of the guns you can customize. Last screen is a good one ;)

^ Yup, the Playboy Mag is classed as a weapon :laugh: And yes, you can in fact look through it yourself! Some nice women :D

:o

First encounter with the beauty and the beast unit.

By encounter I do mean just spectating for now, but OMG :|

(again mild spoilers of an enemy we already know about - unless you've avoided everything MGS4 related online).

I'll be stopping commentary on the game once I hit Act 2. Everything so far in Act 1 I've hinted/mentioned has been shown/made public or is known from previous games.

As I said earlier I will not be spoiling anything new about the game, you guys gotta wait for that ;)

If only you were gay Audioboxer, I would've already tried my damn hardest to seduce you into giving me that copy of MGS4. :p

Even if I were gay, my first love would be MGS :p

I really can't wait till you guys get this so we can actually talk about spoilers. There has been some classic stuff so far :laugh:

So yeah it may be great in a way I got a hold of this early, but I'm also missing out on being able to come on here and go OMG DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT?!

If I do complete this before it's officially out, which should be in my favour if I'm glued to it each day till release (I was suppose to be going out drinking tonight, but I told my friends where to go, and it didn't include me :p), I'll definitely play through again with you guys. There is already many reasons for a multiple play through.

One question, do the silencers still have limited lifetime like in MGS3?

That was annoying :p

Being cautious haha...

Yeah they do. But you can re-buy another without any hassle at any point.

Answers in there, that's all.

    • Stop asking people that. It's a "No True Scotsman" argument in that you are attempting to discredit the opinions of a person by Attacking the Messenger. The reason that these are logical fallacies is the TRUTH is based on facts as supported by evidence. Nothing else. So, always debate the facts with evidence to reach the truth. Once you learn to do this, you'll be able to recognize when people are fearmongering and lying to you for their own selfish ends.
    • It doesn't matter if you didn't directly hear it from person X or Y. Every one of your statements comes straight from the racist, skinhead, anti-immigrant, be afraid of everything, "they are all taking our jobs", etc. etc. mouthpieces. That's where Farag and Putin heard it from too...and used it against the UK. So, while you keep disavowing the people who publicly peddled that position, you keep proving over and over again that those lies influenced you into being tricked when the Brexit vote came around too. In fact, your final sentence makes it crystal clear that it was the racist/anti-immigrant lies you fell and voted for, since you stated that you didn't have an issue with the economic trade issues with the EU. Ahem. To be clear, all of these LIES are EONS old, mate. They are the same fearmongering lies peddled to the same ignorant, gullible cowards by the same charlatans, snake-oil salesmen, and would be demagogues who've been doing this since caveman Ugh lied about his slightly different neighbor in order to steal his land. And, finally, you answered your own previous question. The reason that the EU isn't clamoring to bring the UK back is that they have had enough of people who would rather shoot themselves in the foot than get over their "insecurity issues". It's the same reason the entire world is moving away from the USA as fast as it can...
