Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Discussion Thread

Okay, so I think I have broken a new record!

I beat Act 1, and it took me...

8 hours and 4 seconds :laugh:

140 kills

11 Alarms

7 Continues

In all fairness, like I said I paused the game a few times, and then just let it sit there, but I thought it did not keep track of the time if you have it paused. There was the one time I did die after close to an hour of collecting weapons (now I keep Rations equipped), but I seriously did not think I was anywhere close to 8 HOURS!!! LOL

What difficulty were you on(solid normal, big boss hard)??

I beat act 1 on solid normal, and it took me 4 hours and something...

I am not sure what difficult yI am on, I honestly forget what I chose, but I know it is not the hardest, and definitely not the easiest. So I guess it was normal???

I think leaving it just sit there while I did other stuff has a lot to do with it, because I know for a fact I did not play for 8 hours. I also tend to let Snake sit there and regenerate his health instead of using a Ration, so I will find a safe place, let him lay on the ground, then go and get myself something to drink, etc., so I think I might have done that, thought I paused it, and did not actually pause it. I would say my actual playing time is closer to 4-5 hours as well.

I am now fully 110% confortable with the controls and the actual gameplay though, so I think (well I hope) I will progress through things a bit quicker now.

I left it on pause as well and clocked in under 8hrs, quite annoying really but oh well.

Ohh, yeah that must be it.

I played the game 11 hours straight, and didn't really set it on pause at any time.

Damn I was tired on the 11th hour :D

My game keeps installing every time I load my save file :s

Are you loading different save files at different Acts? You can't jump back and forth through the game, as each act requires an installation that removes any other installed acts.

It's very annoying =\

I'm trying real hard not to read spoilers and I have done good so far. It's just kinda sad when a page is full of black bars, but I have shown restraint.

Anywho quick question. I'm on act 5 now. I loved going back to Shadow Moses, that dream sequence was cool and getting to drive Rex was great. On to my question. At the very beginning of the map I picked up two Chaff grenades. Those were the only two I found and I burned them all. Is there a way to procure more? I looked on Drebin's list and it doesn't show up unless I am completely missing it. If I can get more, are they effective against the Gekkos? Thanks.

I hadn't noticed the chaff grenades, maybe they will help with those dam Dwarf Gekkos, but I has the unlimited ammo now anyway. :p

Does anyone know of an easy quick way of taking down Dwarf Gekkos without sounding the alert which makes millions of the buggers appear?

It would save me a few minutes crawling around for ages during act 4 in shadow moses, lol.

Unless of course my first idea is right and that the chaff grenades would do it.

Does anyone know if it's possible to get a PMC soldier costume?

From what I have read around the internet, there is no mention of anything like that.

You can't even wear different costumes in different areas which is a shame.

That was the first thing I thought to use when I got them, unfortunately I burned my two in the first hangar.

They would have been so helpful in the Roller room with all the Gekkos and the mini guys

Maybe its jsut me, but I would pay more on the price of the game for the first game to be redone in mgs4, its got a good portion of the game in there already, and would be just amazing to play again, lol.

Did they have any effect on them?

The room you mentioned with the rollers and two Gekkos and then one hiding up in the ceiling, and then the room after it leading into the room that orginally housed REX, it has a thin bridge over a waterfall with one of the Dwarf Gekkos rolling round and one in the palce of the old camera, is where I get most annoyed at them.

Personally the Gekkos are far easier to deal with than these annyoing little guys, lol.

Did they have any effect on them?

They definitely disabled the mini guys, they were kinda hang out with there limbs going in circles, but I don't know about the Gekkos. I had run out before I got to one.

It works on the full-sized Gekkos, but for a VERY short amount of time, barely enough for you to pass by without getting kicked.

Heh, awesome.

I'll just chuck on the bandanna and just keep throwing like there's no tomorrow till I make it past.

Well, that or spend all my time crawling like its going out of fashion, lol.

That's exactly what I did in Metal Gear Solid when I was fighting Rex. Just throw about 10 in a row so they would overlap, bust out the rocket launcher, then do it again.

Lol, good times, was such an awesome game in its day.

Once I make it through again with no alerts and get what I want, I can start having some proper fun and messing with the guards, hehe.

I finally went out and bought a PS3 and a copy of MGS4 today.. i could'nt take it any longer, not being able to play it was doing my head in :cry:

I have'nt played the single player yet, been playing the online side of it tho.. i love it

What? You bought MGS4 and decided to play MGO first?

:o

lol, well i have'nt had that much time to play it today. So i thought i'd just have a quick bash at the online side and wait till i have more time at the weekend to dedicate to the single player

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
