Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

But each game focused on a different character - MGS1 was Snake, MGS2 was Raiden and MGS3 was Big Boss. Who's the main character in MGS4? Exactly.

When I said you could skip 2 and 3, what I meant was that most of the important details from those games are mentioned in MGS4 anyway, but MGS4 HEAVILY references MGS1 and in ways that aren't directly explained, hence why it's my choice of "if you must play MGS4 but can only be bothered to play one other game in the series, play this one".

I would disagree.

If you had to miss one of the games story lines, I would say 3 would be the easiest to carry on without playing it.

You obviously need the first game out fo any to get the basis, then 2 introduces the new characters and patriots which are like the main part of the series storyline.

Parts of the story line in MGS3 are explained in MGS4 in more detail than say certain things from the first 2 games.

Yep, that's what I was saying earlier. Everything from 3 that you need to know will be explained to you anyway because as Solid Snake, you never knew the details. In 3 you play as Naked Snake (aka Big Boss) and therefore all the information you find out in that game is not automatically known to your character in 4.

Man I really sucks or something. (I think I suck haha)

I cant pass Act 1 without any alert :crazy: :crazy: I think its better to buy the Stealth Camo. I just need like 2,000,000 DP :s

What are you having problems with?

Now I've done the game without any alerts I can give pointers. :p

*High Fives* :p

I'm on the part before you enter the building where Meryl is. I always get alerts in that part. I'm going to keep trying.

Hmm, what difficulty are you doing it on, I did it on very easy to save time, lol.

The map part before it, I run round the side to where there are snipers killing the rebel people, crawled across the ground to the left which took me to an ally I had to lean against a wall to get through.

Once as far north as I could go I would be left of some sand bags and some PMC's just below where the snipers were, you can take them all out quietly if you wish, its what I did for fun anyway.

I took the PMC guys out silently and crawled past them, then you are behind a truck when two guys run past into the alley to the left, I hid behind the truck or on the ground and they ran past then carried on.

If they do get close or you feel the need you can just tranq anyone silently, it makes it easier.

Once at the end of that street usually two guys will come roudn the corner who I tranqed, then tranqed some guard shooting people so I coudl crawl past quietly, then as you carry on you come up to the building you meet Meryl.

There is a fight going on between the two sides that I just crawed past and into the door into the building. :D

One thing to remember to take your time, there is no rush, and its always easier to tranq guards than worry about them.

And always save at the start of each checkpoint if your worried about being found, I got caught numerous times during Act 4, always for silly little things.

Hope it helps in some way, always up for helping. :D

I swear - I just saved at the begining of Act 5 but Act 4 was the most epic gameplay / cutscenes I have ever witnessed in a video game before.. it's just that good .... the whole Vamp/Railgun/Metal Gear Rex/Ray gameplay was phenomenal - I love this game .. I'm excited for Act 5, going to go at it tonight

I was really stupid. I was using the Middle East costume. With Octocamo and facecamo was very easy :p

how do you do face camo? I cannot find the option anywhere?

This is the reason I spoiler tagged the word :pinch:

Others haven't though.

Just keep playing (Y)

Did anyone mention the fact that on the PSN you can download the Metal Gear Solid Database yet?

It is a 77 MB download, and from what i can tell it is just text based, but it has a detailed Encyclopedia and Timeline of all Metal Gear events.

Even better, if you have not beaten MGS4 like myself, it blocks out anything relevant to the latest game until you unlock it.

Ive been reading the Database for almost an hour and is amazing. A lot of information there.

This thread its starting to depress me... :(

I really want to play this game.

:(

Sony might announce a price cut at E3!

Longshot, but here's hoping (Y)

I just picked it up, however I won't have time to play it until tomorrow! Busy with work tonight, as for the MGS Database, can you download that even if you don't have the game (in my case installed yet). I've always wanted to read through the "history" of Snake. :)

When is E3? I call FW 2.40 at E3! :p

I just did. I'm in Europe and downloaded it from the U.S. PSN store. For some reason though it says there's no MGS4 completion save data on my PS3, but there is, I've beaten it twice so far. =/

    • 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?
