The date in which I bail out has now been set.

Hear, hear! I had Bioshock ruined for me and thats fine but this Metal fucking Gear Solid 4.

 

[MrDaravon]

Uh, strategy guides shipping the week before the game is pretty fucking standard. The date on this has been 6/3 for like 6 months guys :lol . At this point if I cared about spoilers I would have already cut off my internet; warehouses getting the guides will probably have these a few days beforehand, I expect spoilers by the first of the month.

 

[Guled]

We need a non spoiler thread next to the regular official thread. Do it someone.

 

[Dabookerman]

Where is the official thread, there is less than 3 weeks left now?

Who will make it?

So close yet so far.

Don't encourage them. *Facepalm*

 

["God's Beard!"]

I want all the spoilers right off the bat, I don't have a PS3.

 

[Troidal]

Ah, so I can play this all within the reach of my imagination. I'll beat the final boss

Spoiler

whoever it is

in no time!

 

[thebagofsand]

I guess I'm gonna keep off of the internet till July...

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I will play the game slow and steady and admire the beauty and briefing missions and environment

Oh and i will enjoy beating the hell outta

Spoiler

my penis

!!

 

[M3wThr33]

Not reading thread, but I've already gone into shut-out mode on any MGS4 stuff.

 

[Kagari]

Oh hi. At most stores this guide is street dated.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

You can read my spoiler and the one i quoted

Seriously,

Spoiler

Fapping at the awesomeness of the game is heaven on earth

!!

Oh hi. At most stores this guide is street dated.

And even taking that into consideration, shit always leaks.

I mean, by now we all know that

Spoiler

you work at EB Games

and I'm pissed at the fact that

Spoiler

i have exams when MGS4 comes out

so i'll be avoiding the internet for sure!

 

[Darkpen]

I'll most likely go to a midnight launch, and I just hope no one will be reading the strategy guide out loud.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Oh hi. At most stores this guide is street dated.

For the 12th? No matter to me. Even if I pick up the guide I will not read. I actually will just wait until I get the game since I get discounted for buying both.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

hope I remember to stay away from the boards

 

[Kagari]

Yes, June 12.

Bring an MP3 player and avoid making eye contact with dudes leaving the store.

 

[Troidal]

Don't read their lips either.

 

[EviLore]

No. There will be strict rules for spoiler tagging in the official thread.

 

[Inanna]

Are they going to release it in Europe as well? I hope not

 

[jett]

So...what does Ryan Payton do at Konami exactly?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

No. There will be strict rules for spoiler tagging in the official thread.

This is the only way it should be. GAF is smart enough to know what fate awaits if someone doesn't comply with the rules in an OP.

 

[Narag]

So...what does Ryan Payton do at Konami exactly?

Game design and localization for KojiPro itself, I thought.

 

[jetjevons]

This is the only way it should be. GAF is smart enough to know what fate awaits if someone doesn't comply with the rules in an OP.

The MODS must be vigilant! I see Harry Potter level spoiler shit hitting the interwebs when that guide is released. GAF must be kept pure.

 

[Tideas]

i do'nt think he does game design.

 

[jdnation]

So...what does Ryan Payton do at Konami exactly?

He's there for you my friend...




But seriously... so far he's like Konami's jack of all trades -
PR
Podcasting
Interviews
Input for Westernizing the game
Localization - translation of MGS4 script and MPO
Spearheading Metal Gear Saga vols 1 and 2
Being there for added direction for voice actors and script details
flying back and forth for whatever
Faking youtube and AIM accounts for his one man viral marketing team
Fan and hate mail reader
Being the guy who the fanboys can flack whever things go wrong so Kojima is spared from their violence.
Documentary tape transfer-er... though not a good one...
Pervert catching security guard
Basically coming up with cool and nifty ideas like the Saga DVDs, the blu-ray documentary, and other stuff

What doesn't Ryan do? :lol

Don't forget his dad :lol

 

[MrDaravon]

So does anyone know if this is actually shipping tomorrow or the 12th? Gamestop still has it listed for the 3rd, but every other single retailer I could find lists the 12th.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I think it's June 6th.

 

[Kagari]

Ships on the 3rd...

 

[MrDaravon]

Ships on the 3rd...

Then the streetdate doesn't make any sense, if I can get it with overnight shipping on gamestop.com and have it in 2 days.

Well, I don't know. No one has said if it is streetdated yet...

Oh rly

Oh hi. At most stores this guide is street dated.

:lol :lol :lol

 

[Raist]

Well AFAIK it will be available on June 12th in europe (I've asked in some stores in France and game.co.uk also has this release date)

Remember the stories of that guy walking into a bookstore full of people queuing up for that potter book, and spoiling it for everyone because it was leaked on the internet early? People are fucking jackasses

I fucking hate Harry Potter, so you're not helping... :lol

What about that guy that cannot afford the game right away or whatever, and that decide to buy it 2 weeks laters? All the spoilers can be known by anyone by then, Konami cannot be held responsible if some people are jackasses! This is exactly the same thing...

The huge difference is people are talking about it getting spoiled BEFORE you can possibly have bought or played the game.

 

[FightyF]

I don't get why people are worried about spoilers...why not just BUY THE STRATEGY GUIDE AFTER YOU'VE BOUGHT/PLAYED THE GAME?

what the fuck are you talking about

 

[Pop On Arrival]

Because that doesn't stop other people from spoiling it for you? At least ONE midnight launch is gonna get dumbledore'd if they do release the guide early. I guarantee this.

 

[Laurent]

what the fuck are you talking about

• 2 weeks after the game have been released;
• Spoilers known by some people;
• A jerk at GameStop could ruin it by talking loudly about something so awesome and so spoilerific from Guns of the Patriots while a guy is buying that game.

 

[Laurent]

It's like that jerk walking out of a movie theater saying "He dies at the end of the movie!"; there's always gonna be one person to screw with you by trying to spoil your fun WHETHER WHAT HE SAYS IS TRUE OR NOT. Anyway, that's what punches are for... :lol

 

[spoon!]

True, and yea that's unavoidable. But as I was saying some people will go out of their way to spoil things when they know for sure they can cause a lot of damage, which in this case is entirely likely. I wouldn't call the situation exactly the same.

 

[FirewalkR]

MODS:

Do NOT accept any more juniors until a bit after the release.

This should help, unless someone had the prescience to register on neogaf just to hide in waiting... and strike in the right moment! :lol

 

[amar212]

Bruce Willis is a ghost.

There you go.

 

[DancingCactus77]

Just this life time? :lol

But anyone who spoils intentionally will be permed, I'm pretty sure.
