Man the feeling of being in a war torn ME country is amazing, explosions going off, enemies flying overhead, bullets hitting the walls around you. It's awesome, MGS pulls this off way better than COD4 IMO.

I really like that portable ops songs Calling in the Night or something. Fighting Raging Raven with that playing when it's night is fucking epic.

So I have a question.

Is there any way to just straight up run and gun? Old school MGS style? I couldn't seem to figure it out and it used to be one of my favorite things to do especailly in MGS3.

just finished act 1.

someone earlier said that they feel like this is the first next gen game that they've played, and i totally agree. mgs4 really is a perfect storm of great storytelling, jaw-dropping cinematic presentation, unbelievable music, and what is by far and away the best gameplay in a metal gear game ever.

I'm in awe.

Still, it's kinda hard to see the point of all the guns if you' re not supposed to shoot them. :lol

Well you can, when necessary or when it serves your purposes best.

I like the music the Ipod has in it, is there going to be a patch that allows you to play the music that's on the hdd?

Most likely not. Its mostly Metal Gear and Kojima related stuff. You might get some new podcast downloads and music eventually for free though.

I've done this several times... especially in Act 2. I try to mix it up though and use stealth were appropriate.

Quick question, if the first part of the game when you pick up an RPG should I take down the tank shooting at the rebels? Or not bother and save the RPG for later?

GAF, explain this to me, i think i just unlocked a secret after defeating the first boss: SPOILERS ABOUT POTENTIAL SECRET ITEM:
The laughing Octopus beauty, i defeated her with my tranq gun and got a facecamo with her face and a normal facecamo, but do you need to "kill" her 2 times with the tranq gun? Because the first time it took alot of bullets, the 2nd time like 1/6th of what it took o_O

Definatly. Even though im just in Act 1 at the very beginning, I can see how once you get into the thick of things with the PMCs vs the Rebels, you'd be able to selectively take out a few people to make the others see you're on their side. Then tranq when there is no other party to take advantage of.

Also I wish the new firmware was out now, maybe there would be a trophy for taking down a Gekko? Not sure if you actually get to fight them, but just saying.

I haven't had the chance to play it yet :(

Been awake since 5am on the 11th; went to both Kojima signings in NYC. Today was definitely the best; he shook my hand after he signed my MGS1 :D

IGN review is up!

10/10

10 Presentation
A story worthy of a feature length film, with action that keeps you engaged from the second you hit the start button 'til the final credits roll.

10 Graphics
Incredibly detailed and visually breathtaking, with amazing camera angles, MGS4 is one of the most beautiful titles ever made.

10 Sound
Haunting melodies, the re-introduction of classic themes via iPod, and perfect line delivery by actors -- this is an aural delight from start to finish.

10 Gameplay
Not only does MGS4 include new gameplay mechanics, it shatters the mold of what's expected from the series. Stealth, action, or balanced play: the choice is yours in how you explore this MGS world.

10 Lasting Appeal
There are dozens of secrets and Sexy times, along with tons of ways to approach any combat situation. Plus, when you're done with the single La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo, MGO will keep you engaged for weeks on end.

10
Masterful OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

oh shi--

Is it possible to give a game an 11? If so, this would be the game that would merit that score. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is a title that exceeds all of the hype that was attached to the title. Regardless of whether you've seen every trailer and screenshot, read every preview and heard every interview, you won't get a full sense of how phenomenal this title is unless you sit down and experience it for yourself.

I was not expecting that MGS3 shagohod theme.

Do you have to keep holding down the item button to have it play though? I might stand still and listen to some of the songs, but definatly not going to run around with it on.

I'm playing this through on Hard first go. Never done that on any of the other MGS games at all. I want to savour and earn this playthrough.

I wont post details at all, its not fair to those who havent started it - but this game is just stunning. I am floored by it, and I cant think of a single game that comes close to it in terms of next gen presentation, atmosphere, gameplay, everything. I dont need any other game but this.

Wow another 10! :O

All this talk makes me want to play this game even though I've never been into MGS since the first game.

I kind of regret seeing the ending now it's ruined everything...

Just to say that I played all day and it shouldn't be called Metal Gear. It should be called Orgasm Game. I need to take a break, I'll continue tomorrow :lol

Yeah, so I just finished the game about a half hour ago.

Started playing when I posted my return from the midnight signing, 18 hours straight.

I could not be fucking happier right now.
