Was something lost in translation? lol. I hope you aren't ruining your experience by playing the Japanese version (unless of course you are fluent in it).duckroll said:

ARRR I don't really want to ask story questions because I can't play this for a long time, but all I wanted to know is
whether or not they show how/why BB ended up in coma for years
Johnas said:
That hardly constitutes port-begging. Just let it go.
And the reason I came into this thread is I want to know if this card will work in the US. Do I have to make an Asian account and then download it? http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-io-77-4-49-en-15-Metal+Gear+Solid+Peace+Walker-70-3spd.html

now I want to know how the story ranked up. for me, it's something like
MGS3 > MGS1 > MGS4 > MGS2
when I said, story, I meant awesome memorable moment like microwave scene, shagohod chase, any cyborg ninja scene, mgs4 final fist fight. how does PW stacked up to that. I imagine since the cutscenes are done in motion comic style, it may not have as strong impact as other mgs cutscenes. what's your opinion on that?

Epcott said:Sooo... so Duck thought he finished the game (mentions credits) but realizes he didn't?
:lol You didn't just reveal a "Kojima surprise" (Psycho Mantis MGS, Crazy Colonel MGS2, Sorrow MGS3) did you? I'll hunt you down if you did :lol
You didn't right?
I don't think it's like that, there's a bunch of extra missions available once you've finished the main game, It's probably best to keep away from details as I don't know how much they continue the story, there's one big rumour which sounds too crazy to be true, and possibly isn't, not going to mention it here.
Callibretto said:
for story i'd rank the series like that too although at its worst moments mgs4 was REALLY, REALLY bad - had by far the lowest low points of the series. but there were quite a lot of fuck awesome moments too, whereas mgs2 really only had a few specatacular bits: opening and end of tanker chapter, near-final cutscene on arsenal gear with snake jumping after the fleeing metal gear ray, final sword fight.

Extra Ops 67 looks rather unique..
Do not look at the link if you don't want anything to be spoiled, It is a plotline based mission, kind of. The pic might also give away how to finish the mission, as I said, do not look!

duckroll, on a scale of 1-10, how much did you need to keep using the camera controls during your playthrough? Did it expect lots of precision shooting? Because that's the only thing that I didn't enjoy from the demo.
neutralgamer02 said:
Yeah played the demo on my mate's, actually plays really well on it. although you use the shoulder buttons quite a bit its not intense enough to for the go! shoulder button "squidginess" to fuck you up, and having the face buttons close together is actually an advantage coz you can roll your thumb over them easily for looking around. i'm still gonna get a 3000 rather than a go! for peacewalker just coz i value my old umd collection but if yr packing a go! i think peacewalker will be fine on it

It's a much better position, downside is you can't toggle crouch while running because of the distance between that and the dpad.
I'm going to be buying a new PSP 2000/3000 soon, managed to break my old 1000 when trying to clean it.
I'd only consider a GO if it was cheaper than a normal PSP.AranhaHunter

Damnit, I don't wanna have to buy this stupid game but will probably end up doing so, I think I'll get it off PSN though because the UMD drive noise on my PSP kinda pisses me off, gotta check if I have 2GB free on the SD Card though.

you can actually sort of flick your index finger from the left shoulder button out in front of the go! screen and tap down on the dpad while you're running to go into crouch. it is awkward though... you can do the same thing on the normal psp without thinking abut it but it required a bit of concentration with the go. i probably would've got used to it though... and the go! is damn sexy, even if it is a bit overpriced/aforementioned umd issue etc etc

It's overall. I don't like to break comparisons down entirely to "story" or "gameplay".
MGS3 definitely has an edge when it comes to being a larger continuously flowing MGS, and has way more in-mission sub-systems, more complex AI, more player moves, etc. The story is larger in scope, with more characters, realtime cutscenes, and it pivotal as the origin story of Big Boss.
PW has the advantage of being much more replayable in bite-sized missions, with a ton more overall options when it comes to equipment and stuff you can bring into missions, it has a much more expanded and complex metagame (unlockables, secrets, stuff to collect, between-mission base management, co-op, achievements, etc), and the awesome shooting mechanics and camera system introduced in MGS4. As for the story, it might not be as large in scope as MGS3, but it holds its own VERY well. Not just as a portable game, but as a MGS game in general. I think fans will be VERY surprised as how awesome the cutscenes are, especially compared to MPO.

For me? Probably 8 or 9 out of 10. I used the camera A LOT, but I did in the demo too. I'm really used to the camera controls from the demo, and it works really well. I used the Mk22 for most of the game for normal missions, and MGs/RPGs for vehicle boss missions. Lots of precision aiming, destroying individual parts, headshots, etc. If you don't like to aim, you could try using auto-aim or keeping aim assist on. I turned off aim assist at the start of the game and it worked fine for me.
AranhaHunter said:
You need about 2.5 gig free on your card. The game itself is 1355 meg, and you'll probably want to do a 880 meg full install even though it's a download game, to get the realtime codec in missions to be fully voiced. I suspect there is some sort of compression going on with the install, instead of just copying stuff to the stick for faster loading.
duckroll said:Well, GAF might not care about this game judging from the lack of replies, but Japan sure does! 350k units of Peace Walker was sold on the first day in Japan, beating MGS4's 300k first day sales! The fans have spoken, PW = MGS5.
People might be confused if this is the OFFICIAL thread, or just an official import thread. I have no idea. If this is the 'official' thread, than you might want to change the title.
Great news, I'd forgotten what the opening sales for MGS4 were and was worried the number was a little low.

Good stuff. Are all the cutscenes in the game made with the Ashley Wood art or are there any game engine cutscenes?

jesus christ look at his balls
where can i buy this
edit: aren't there also some radical action figures of the singing robots too? i thought they were supposed to be collectible statues or something, and i would never buy that, but i can appreciate a good old fashioned action figure!
ezekial45 said:
In some of the trailers you can see they have a system for toggling between grenade launcher and nomal bullet-y shots on the one rifle (it's with that ak47, forget which trailer). I'm not sure if they have actual customisation. at a guess i'd say that rather than buying parts from a drebin-type character you instead use researchers at mother base to upgrade the guns... when they complete an upgrade it addes a component (silencer, grip, grenade launcher, scope or whatever to the gun)
total guess but i imagine that'd make sense given the design goals of the game...

heringer said:Oh noes...
Did you play the demo? If so, for how long?
Heavy reliance on the camera controls of Peace Walker is NOT a bad thing.
Is that long trailer showing all the gameplay and Mother Base customization still up somewhere?
EDIT: Nevermind, found it.

Yes. I've played for about 4 hours.autobzooty said:
I don't mind the camera control, it works fine. What bothers me is the over the soulder aiming. I think it's really bad. Not precise enough and really slow. I hope they improved the sticky aim (not the auto aim mode, but the aim assist for manual shooting) because I'll need it.

could be better, but honestly i've logged in about 20-30 hours into the demo (yeah, I know), and I just stopped using the guns that way. Turn on auto-aim for holdups and stick to CQC. That's the best way to play Metal Gear anyways, imo.
i'm curious what duckroll has to say about the game's difficulty. I'll be choosing the hardest one from the start. I love failing at stealth missions and trying again and again until I get it right. I have the patience for it and I find it really rewarding, but I hate it when you can just kill/tranq everyone in your path and proceed that way. i hope it's challenging, and i hope they really put a chokehold on your tranquilizer ammo, but i somewhat doubt it, especially since you can stockpile the stuff at motherbase.

heringer said:Oh yeah, I agree. That's why duckroll's post made me worried, since he said the game demands a lot of precision shooting.
The biggest problem is that the aim assist is really subtle. If they made it "stickier" the manual shooting would be way more manageable.
i think it's probably just an issue of your personal playstyle. the metal gear series has always been very flexible and lets you tackle it from any number of angles. duckroll probably says it relies heavily on shooting just because that's the way he prefers to play, whereas I would tell anyone that peace walker had a heavy reliance on CQC (just speaking from the demo, of course).
