Already? You should have taken your time man. Don't you feel it's all over too soon?

This isn't GTA4, I don't get tired/bored playing the game after 45 mins to 1 hour ;) (Used GTA4 as my example as it will probably take me roughly the same amount of hours as MGS4, however I've currently had GTA4 since launch and it ain't done yet!)

Couldn't put it down. I almost went to bed tonight to watch the end tomorrow - I knew I was closing in. However I couldn't, had to keep going.

I wouldn't say I rushed it, but I didn't go slow either - Didn't focus much on extras/unlockables or pickups. Purely a storyline play through.

Not really a spoiler, but a bit of advice.

If you are completely new to MGS, please try and play 1-3 before playing this - I would avoid plot guides (you won't have the same attachment just reading text on screen for 1-3 and then coming into 4), even if you're the laziest person around, just play the first three. It's not really to help with this game as such, but it will make your experience a lot better (Y)

O.K. you're making me want it even more now lol. I'm still on around 66% on GTA4.

I think 3 was the first MGS game I really played, wish I hadn't sold it a few weeks ago now :(

tbh I've got such a **** memory, (I mean, really ****ing bad) that I don't know how much benefit I would really get from going back to the previous games.

If it's any help i've written story out on page 45 or so if you need a brush up on things.

or can see it on my blog here http://antz007.wordpress.com/2008/06/05/me...so-far/#more-24

I did see that, though I haven't read through it yet.

Great post though, thanks ;)

Playing through again and I'm not going to kill anyone.

Gotta unlock some more extras ;)

One of the extras requirements is like HOLY **** - I doubt many people will get it.

Thanks for the notice, Lauguu! :) I've been uploading these to YouTube as soon as they came out. I'm uploading this one as we speak. I'll post links to them as soon as they're online! ;)

I am tempted to ask how we achieve unlockables such as stealth and the bandanna (unlimited ammo) in MGS4 (or if you even can achieve these items).

However the above was a rhetorical question and I have now decided I do not want to know, so if anyone answers this it better be in spoiler tags. :p

I couldn't wait, so I just read the whole strategy guide (with the whole story), and all I can say is: OMG! WTF! AWESOME!

You guys/gals will love it, its the best MGS game ever (and that is even competing with MGS3, which I hold very dearly).

Anyones play.com order moved past "Order Placed" status?

Mine is still on "Order Placed". :( I'm not giving up hope, though. Play.com seems to have been on the blink for the past month. I ordered GTAIV off them. It kept jumping to different stages. Up to "Processing", then to "Packing", than back to "Processing", then a few days later, I got an email saying it had been shipped. 10 minutes later, it arrived on my doorstep! :D

My Jabra BT125 is doing this as well. It went from "Order Placed" to "Processing" to "Packing" in less than 30 minutes, then an hour later it went back "Processing". It's still there as I'm typing this.

    • I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years
    • Hello, Paul. Thanks for the editorial. It was interesting. I'm going research more into the app and its concept. Of course, if you know me at all, you know that I'd say your articles needs some editing! I a;ways do, don't I? For instance, the article occasionally mentions a concept before defining it, e.g., relays.
    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
