Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Dropped in at my local ASDA at midnight and picked myself up a copy without any trouble. Shame I have to work until the weekend though. Still I'll get a blast on it in the evenings until then. Looks awesome from what I've managed to play so far though. :D

If he takes any ****ing longer, my postie is getting a head lock.

LMAO!!! :laugh:

You're not alone, mate. My Jabra BT125 should be here today, but my MGS4 isn't coming until tomorrow. :(

So cmon, who's playing? :p

you won't be much longer, the A-team has been hired!

:p

I'm intending to only play briefly tonight as I've got other *shudders* more important stuff to do, however I'm planning some serious all nighters over the weekend.

I got lucky timewise, my teacher gave me a day off tomorrow, because I pretty much owned the rest of my class because I'm way ahead of them in our course - so I can stay at home... basically play all day (and all night tonight)

I'm working till 6. Then i'll probably attempt to play it for the rest of the evening. I doubt i will play it much over the weekend though as my brother is coming down and he'll want to play GTA IV and Saints Row for hours on end.

Will be picking mine up during my lunch break. Unfortunately it is 9 AM here and I have to work until at least 5 PM.

So I have a full work day ahead of me until I am actually playing.

Sorry, I forgot to say earlier: W00T!!!!!!!!!! Mine came today!!! :D Along with my Jabra headset! And f**k me, it's tricky to get going! I love listening to the music they're provided on the iPod! I also listened to the podcast! I haven't got far enough yet to discover something new about the story so far. I'm about 10-15 minutes into Act 1, and nothing new at the moment, as I've seen everything so far in trailers! :D

Anyway, I'll have to take an involuntary break soon, as my mum needs me to withdraw ?500 out of her account, then go to the Post Office and put it in another to avoid an overdraft!:unsure:: Yeah, umm, I'm not too confident walking around with ?500 of my mum's money in cash!:D:D Last time I had money of a huge amount, I had to withdraw ?180 out of her account, and then take it on a bus into town into GAME to pick up a Wii! Now THAT was scary:D :D No need to worry this time, though. The Post Office has a cashpoint inside it, so no worries about getting mugged:D :D

    • Less powerful than a PS5 at twice the price! I wonder if they use that for marketing? Totally DoA.

    • How does it compare to the "SeeStar S30 Pro" and the "Vespera PRO 2"?
    • Indeed. And note that those units are MUCH cheaper than this new Steam Machine...ahem.
