Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

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.

:laugh: It's not like the minute it turns the 12th I'm raging on here and posting how the game ends! Or will I be :shiftyninja:

The ending of MGS4 is so awesome, you people will die of a heart attack. And that is after you learn the real truth (and that is if you don't die from a heart attack then).

Its awesome, simply perfect. I didn't expect any of it, and I've read hundred of theories.

Lets just say that its unpredictable, so don't even try.

Kinda spoilerish hint of direction there! :/ Shoulda spoiler tagged or just not said anything till release like me.

Did you spoil it for yourself, or do you have the game?

Yeah, but thanks for telling us then so we can't be surprised ourselves :rolleyes:

Christ -.-

There is nothing I can tell you (unless its the ending itself) that can spoil it for you, believe me.

I couldn't wait for the game, so I read the whole story in the strategy guide.

I don't care, the stuff you are posting is leaning towards spoiler material and kinda ruin any surprises when you already told us what we can expect.

I told you can expect the best ending, that is not spoiling anything (unless you wanted a crappy ending, and then I would tell you: "dude, this is MGS, wtf").

EPIC fail.

You read a strategy guide to uncover the story :| ....

I mean, I think the people watching the ending on youtube are bad enough, but from a strategy guide?!!!?!

Not all of us are lucky enough to get the game early, so I did the next best thing.

I was just reading thru the whole MG story, does MGS4 answers anything about the wisemen's committee (aka the patriots <- I think).

MGS4 Guns of the Patriots.

:laugh:

It answers everything about MGS for the record.

Heck, that comment was more spoilerish than mine.

The game is called Guns of The Patriots.

And it's the finale to the MGS saga. Downright obvious it would answer any outstanding questions :/ :rolleyes:

1) It's the name of the game

2) We've known for a long time MGS4 would pretty much fill all the gaps from the previous Metal Gears.

So not really.

How is telling you that MGS4 answers every question you'd have less of a spoiler than saying that it has a great ending?

Seriously, if you ever played any other MGS game, you'd know that a great ending is kind of the rule.

That's not a spoiler in any way in my opinion. He's simply hyping up the ending for the rest of us that haven't finished. It's like saying that people who tell you a movie will have a twist in it are spoiling it. You still don't know what the twist is and knowing it's coming won't make it any less surprising.

Yes, I know It's a rule to have a great ending, but not how the end will "Tell the real truth" and "I will have a heart attack", that's just god damn spoiling, do you understand now?!

Ahm, no?

Its the game that answers all the question (or if you prefer it, TELL THE REAL TRUTH) and it surelely has a great ending (or a SURE HEART ATTACK).

Can't you follow the logic?

Answering all your questions, and hinting at things by saying "telling the real truth" are a bit different if you ask me. Everyone expects the finale to conclude everything, but no one really knows about any "real truths" that might come up. That is suggesting a previous game lead us to believe something that now might not be true.

Hell I'm the one who completed the game :laugh:

Hinting at truth and lies is a little spoilerish if you ask me... Some folk might not care, but others are totally anal about knowing nothing coming into MGS.

As for saying the ending will give you a heart attack, that is just building hype, not really a spoiler. However I chose not to comment on anything until release and I still am not.

No, I don't follow your logic.

Also, thanks to you I won't be returning to this thread until I completed the game, in case you feel to need to 'hint' some more :rolleyes:

Thanks a lot.

Even gigapixels said it, so don't be such a cry baby. I'm only hyping the ending to your benefit. And don't worry, I wouldn't post any real spoiler (and if someone really wanted, I would PM them instead).

Woah woah, I never said anything about there being lies in the game (but seriously, this is Metal Gear Solid, any real fan would've noticed its structure).

Yeah, because Gigapixels word is final because his name is blue, right.

I have a different view on this, you have another.

And now feel free to PM me if you have anything else.

No, its not because gigapixels name is blue, its because he's a lot more mature than you by the looks of it.

Do you really want me to spoil you the story or not? I would guess not, but if you think otherwise, PM me first.

    • So what am I quoting from them? I never listened to what Farage or his cronies said. I wanted the U.K to leave the E.u years before the referendum and it had nothing to do with Farage and his cronies. So what country do you live in? Did we work much better together? We were always at logger heads with the E.U because we disagreed with them so much. Maggie was always on at them. I would have thought the E.U was glad to get rid of us as we stopped the integration or made it a two tier. Now without us they can integrate more. I would not have voted out if it was just a trading block and we can still work together on somethings.

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.

    • I did test it a month or so back, but ... the results I expect to be on the first page are not there.
    • Neowin is saying these are good prices? Thats crazy. As others have said they are just ######. Time for big tech to bring down the prices for real not this fake crap.
