Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

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).
And that is after you learn the real truth

Well to me that hints at something we've been told previously not being entirely true, which = a "lie" ;)

I think everyone should just shutup and not post anything remotely spoilerish till release like me! :laugh: That way we keep everyone in the topic happy. Those who want spoiled can request for someone to PM them.

Not necessarily, but I would suggest to stop this here and not "spoil" it for everyone. I'm open to conversations through PM's.

I forgot about the ignore feature, no need to leave after all :laugh:

I pre-ordered my MGS 4 through a Gamestop offer and will get a T-shirt too, anyone know what that shirt looks like?

Hope It's something subtle so you can actually wear in public.

But man, I can't believe we are this close to release :D

LOL.

I know what you mean. Will no doubt be a HUGE picture of old snakes face with no text and look ugly as! :laugh:

Might be something like this?

By the way, anyone know when Gamespot or 1UPs reviews are coming?

1UP Yours this week is going to be discussing MGS4 :woot:

But then again, there's the back

People would actually come up to me and hit me wearing something like that :rofl:

And a pathetic PM from MGS;

"OMGZ THE ENDING WTF LOLZ... please

I won't spoil it."

And he's talking about maturity :sleep:

But then again, there's the back

Eeeek.

Video gaming clothing usually = Total fail.

Parts of the LE MGS4 guide! No spoilers, just some artwork. Looks really sweet :D (It's $19.99 on Amazon I think)

I love the pose that meryl makes :D , But havn't seen any artwork of eva anywhere ( :| not the old mama, they young eve :devil: )

Doing some searching, seems there's two shirts which could possibly be in the offer - The one you linked Audio and this one,

I mean, oh god that's horrible :pinch:

That's the Hottopic MGS tee.

There's two of them, I posted them both earlier in this thread (2nd isn't the same as the one we've just posted).

The other looked ok, but it seemed like it had "shiny" text, aka it was quite "girly".

If I had a choice of getting a mgs4 t-shirt, it would be this one.

has awesome written all over it.

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.

No, but telling someone that there is going to be a twist in a film takes a away from the immersion of it in my opinion.

Sitting there not knowing much is far better than sitting there knowing that at some point there will be a twist and of course then I cant exactly trust anything that is going on in the film knowing that it will be turned around.

Not to offend, but you'd have to be pretty naive not to think that there would be no twists in a movie which prequel is MGS2 aka. The Twister.

BTW, awesome Tshirt.

Not at all, I was just replaying to the film part.

I don't think what you said was that bad, I totally expect things to be explained and for twists to happen in this game.

And I really expect a great ending for the series too, however it ends up.

GameInformer MGS4 Review!

MGS 4 - 10, 9.75 biggrin.gif

Omg Infamous, finally!.

I've been waiting for news on the game for what feels like forever.

Hopefully he will put something up form the magazine, whatever they have about it.

I might try playing on Big Boss hard :laugh:

It'll probably be as bad, or worse than European Extreme mode on MGS2. That mode literally kicked my ass :|

Here is what Game Informer said about MGS4:

MGS 4 - 10, 9.75 - "MGS4 accommodates player choice unlike anything I have ever seen, providing you with the tools to overcome obstacles in any way you choose." "The freedom even extends to the Boss Fights." "...a landmark gaming experience that continually astounds with it's variety, depth, and intelligence."

Hopefully mine will be here tomorrow. I'm way too excited now for it. I didn't really follow it much as i didn't own a PS3 but now i do i've gone into overdrive and read everything about it. Except spoilers of course. Just need to hurry up and finish Ratchet and Clank now

    • A different thing with Russia. When you say is it better, depends on things. It is better that we don't have the E.U making rules and laws that have nothing to do with them. Is the trading part better? No, that is really mucked up, but then we knew that was going to happen and we would have make agreements, like we do with other parts of the world. Freedom of movement is certainly better, but could be improved, we still need more control over our borders. do you live in the U.K?
    • 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.
