Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Discussion Thread

Just forgot I have to get up early and pick it up at the store ... dammit, hurray for laziness. :hmmm:

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

With Play it really can be hit and miss. I've never had any problems with them before, and usually get my game on the day with them. HMV are the dodgy ones, I don't think they know the meaning of preorder (N)

[Sethos]

Audio, got a question.

Like in the old Metal Gears, you were constantly moving back and forth between many of the same areas, is it still like this?

[Huleboeren]

I'm willing to bet they dispatch on monday, as they send second class, only occasionally recorded.

Youre right - monday the 16th :p

Not preordering anything on play.com again, had to wait several days for my GTA SE to come

[FiB3R]

by the way, someone on NW has to make this!

Well, this was a LOT more tricky and time consuming than I thought! ****ing love it though, thanks for the templates Audioboxer :)

Think I might touch up the seams with felt tip pen.

That's awesome mate!! Well done!!

[Jimmy0]

That looks awesome, I am going to give it a go at building one of those sometime during the week. (Y)

No, constant forward progression in comparison to what old titles were like. You've got to remember as we've been told, there are various places of visit. You all know Act1 as it's the only place shown by Konami publicly. I'm saying this as we know what old MGS games are like where the whole game basically takes part in one main "map".

Not saying anymore, you'll see :p

And OMFG.

Jaw on floor.

I think im nearing the end, but :o :|

This game is smothered in fan service. The writer of the Eurogamer review, not really for the score, but for what he wrote, is definitely NOT a big MGS fan.

Easily surpasses GTA4 so far for me - I am a big MGS fan though.

Thing is I haven't actually completed GTA4 yet to see the ending, and I've yet to see the ending of MGS4, but that's how it stand just now fyi.

Are you seeing at as more of an 8/10 than 9+?

Did you print it on card?

I'm not giving out my score until the game is out for everyone.

But take the hint from my post in the right way, did it sound like I was underwhelmed? ;)

When I mentioned Eurogamer what I was trying to say was, I couldn't care less what the guy wants to score it, but what he actually wrote in his review, makes me easily see the fact he cannot possibly be a big MGS fan.

[popisdead uk]

I'm with ya. You do sound like you are really enjoying it though.

Would it be a spoiler to ask how many hours you have put into it?

[Coldgunner]

gonna stick with play, if they haven't dispatched by tuesday I'll switch to amazon.

I'll tell you when I'm finished.

I think it will be tonight, probably anyway.

It's gotta be around 20 or over 20 now. Might be more?

[popisdead uk]

Excellent, would be nice to know what sort of time the cut scenes take up as well.

20 hours 37 minutes so far.

[Dirk]

20 hours 37 minutes so far.

That seems like a lot.

I can't wait till next Friday though.

Depends on how much of the 20 hours is cut scenes though I suppose...

[L3thal Veteran]

I love the cut scenes.

[FiB3R]

That looks awesome!

Did you print it on card?.

Thanks ;) Printed on glossy "Photo Paper Pro" which is quite thick.

Not sure what this is all about, but I thought I'd post it anyway.

Completed in 24:22:05.

[L3thal Veteran]

What do you rate it now that you are done with it?

[Neo003]

Completed in 24:22:05.

Im sorry for you :p

[StevoJD]

Thank God at least it's got longevity. GTA 4 took me about the same to beat, 24:25:04 :p and I remember the game being eternal.
