Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

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.

well, I'm gonna give it till the end of the day and if its not dispatched I'm gonna cancel and change to gameplay or amazon.

edit: sod it, changed to gameplay.co.uk, fair enough 1st class postage is 99p extra but they seem more reliable for release date delivery. Play.com has let me down and it arrived a day late a few times.

Oh Audio, why didn't you answer my question, are you avoiding me on purpose, have you ignored me! I can't live like this /Cut wrist.

( Sorry :shiftyninja: )

Truth is I would rather not answer it, not because there is, or there isn't. I'm not saying either way. Not many days left!!

I got me a silver DS3 off of Ebay the other day just for MGs4 and to always have a charged backup controller for longer sessions. :p

I have ordered a DualShock 3 controller aswell just for MGS4... Ceramic White is looking so awesome :p :laugh:

Woo, 3 days!

Can't wait. :D

I'll walking in to town at some silly time to pick it up, wonder if Game or anyone are having a midnight launch, doubt it though.

Plus I would be on my own. *makes sad face*

Well I've gave in and ordered it from gameplay.co.uk, I didn't see no out of stock warnings which is suprising.

Konami said there would be plenty of copies available for launch so there would be no chance of running out.

Check my post on page 60 ;)

Already did ;)

Guys stay off Digg, they just spoiled something big that really ticked me off, i didnt see the video but just by the title itself i can imagine what it is, damn them :(

sorry to hear that. hope it didn't ruin the whole game for you...

I'm going to stay offline as much as I can until it's release, so nobody can spoil the game for me.

Naa, it wasnt anything HUGE, just one of those things that would have surprised me if i saw it first while playing, now im gonna be expecting it.

Link me, then delete the link in a few mins. Just an http link, no one on here needs to click it.

I'll tell you if it's truthful, and how severe it is if it's true.

I'm staying off all community sites involving comments and not going on any fo the forums besides Neowin till it comes out.

I made the close mistake of reading Kotaku comments, slowly reading through i read something along the lines of "Snake..."

At which point my mind shut down and i closed the tab, and now i am avoiding all comments everywhere, and no sites where something someone can post can hit the front page of the site.

Dont click or hover over the text if you want to remain spoiler free....

Link used to be here... deleted..

Like i said, just by the title i already know what it is, so im gonna be expecting it, i know its not anything big, but now it wont be as special as if i had seen it in game...

BTW, i didnt click the link on digg or even read the comments....

Also, the link on digg links to PS3fanboy.com i think, so stay off that site too, while you are at it, disconnect your computer from the internet... i wish i could

Ah right, you can delete it now.

That's already been spoiled in this topic by Hanif :(

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...amp;p=589466719

And yes it is worthwhile NOT knowing it before playing, as it happens at the exact right point it should :p

Lol!

It nice to see people put the effort in so some don't get the game ruined by other people.

I'm just happy there aren't any asses on Neowin.

And I think Audioboxer has been, how to say this, great considering, I can just bet he's slowly dying inside to talk about the game. :D

I was going to say, I know you were going to wait till we got the game before saying anything, but when we get the game, by the time we finish it it probably wouldn't be till late friday anyway and wont want anythign spoiled, so I was going to suggest playing through with us on thrusday or atleast waiting till the weekend before the spoilers start appearing.

    • Interesting share -- however it does not make sense: Email messages get stored somewhere, so how is Delta Chat "based on email" and decentralized without actually storing anything? By Web3 standard practices, the various Relays would require dedicated storage to make messages available to the recipients (like a large series of message queue channels, akin to racks of traditional post office boxes)... and Contacts must be two-way confirmed in order for encryption keys to be exchanged (ostensibly every key-pair is uniquely bound between sender and recipient) and the Relays would preserve the public keys in order to facilitate message carriage... or every device stores all sorts of keys and contact info. All of this to say, decentralized messaging is like running Bluesky nodes except instead of discovering/browsing public feeds by various posters (at the given node) these Delta Chats would be relaying encrypted messages (via Relays) that only trusted recipients would have the appropriate decryption key (their own private key) to read it. But this doesn't solve the "it's like email" sales pitch. The only way it's like email is that there's encrypted binary stuff being transported from your app into the federated ether of Delta Chat Relays for others to decrypt (hopefully only the intended recipient)... but outside of this federated relays framework, it is absolutely nothing like email.

The backup and restore feature of Hasleo Backup Suite can help you back up and restore the Windows operating systems, disks, partitions and files (folders) to protect the security of your Windows operating system and personal data. The cloning feature of Hasleo Backup Suite can help you migrate Windows to another disk, or easily upgrade a disk to an SSD or a larger capacity disk. System Backup & Restore / Disk/Partition Backup & Restore Backup Windows operating system and boot-related partitions, including user settings, drivers and applications installed in these partitions, which ensures that you can quickly restore your Windows operating system once it crashes. Viruses, power failure, or other unknown reasons may cause data loss, so it is a good habit to regularly back up the drive that stores important files, you can at least recover lost files from the backup image files in the event of a disaster. System Clone / Disk Clone / Partition Clone Migrate the Windows operating system from one disk to another SSD or larger disk without reinstalling Windows, applications and drivers. Clone entire disk to another disk and ensure that the contents of the source disk and the destination disk are exactly the same. Clone a partition completely to the specified location on the current disk or another disk and ensure that the data will not be changed. File Backup & Restore Back up specified files(folders) instead of the entire drive to another location to protect your data, so you can quickly restore files(folders) from the backup image files when needed. Incremental/Differential/Full Backup Different backup modes are supported, you can flexibly choose data protection schemes, which can improve backup performance and save storage space while ensuring data security. Delta Restore Delta restore uses advanced delta detection technology to check the changed blocks on the destination drive and restore only the changed blocks, so it has a faster restore speed than the traditional full restore. Universal Restore This feature can help us restore the Windows operating system to computers with different hardware and ensure that Windows can work normally without any hardware compatibility issues.

    • I looked into a few echo devices to find they were riddled with adverts over time. No thanks ill stick to my homeassistant, smart plugs, smart bulbs and cameras that don't cost me a monthly fee and are cheaper to buy. No adverts also.
