You need to be fucking banned, you came all the way to this happy thread just to try to fuck it up.

Ignore list is a wonderful feature, but it does not work when people quote him. :/

Yeah, I suppose starting a new thread for such a trivial detail would have been a better course of action. /sarcasm

 

[Dabookerman]

No. It's plain white... But at least I'll have my JP LE version to console me...

Does the American game come in a slip case?

 

[Auron_Kale]

Does the American game come in a slip case?

The US LE box is a slip case that's cut diagonally...but not metal so if you've seen the pics Asian LE version that's floating around here, then it's the same as the US LE version.

Oh, I mean't the standard version. Pal versions of the game have come in Slip cases.

Then do it on the second playthrough. And yes, there is stuff to pick up.

You can replay the briefings, right? Do you get another chance to get the items when you replay them?

you don't do it in every other thread .. so why this one? fuck off troll

 

[Auron_Kale]

Not that I know of. The only slipcases for the game that I know of are the ones that the KojiPro team are going to be signing.

 

[BeEatNU]

do you or do you not want to get this thread up to infinity posts?

I do but

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

Quality comments, without specifics, should be welcome here. We've had plenty of positive criticisms that don't spoil the game; I see no reason why we can't have negative ones as well.

Yeah, but that end stuff is awesome. I'll just add that I think it will conclude the series in a truly wonderful and great way.

Yep.
Also

characters drop special items when you bump into them with the MK.II

Exactly. Why are you even posting about it in the first place? Nobody gives a flying fuck.

 

[Blablurn]

[Requiem]

im goin to get my copy signed tomorrow in manhattan...would it be smart to get the actual game disc signed aswell? Im obviously going to be playing it, so would the ink from the marker cause any type of damage or what?

 

[AgentOtaku]

Post here. Spoiler tag it
Also the goodie bag includes a copy of mgs3 or portable ops, a tshirt and a dog tag

 

[-COOLIO-]

HEER HEE, HEER HEE


FOUR HOURS AND TWENTY MINUTES!!

 

[Ceb]

How I'm gonna handle the briefings: first I'll watch them without spinning around with Mk. II, then load up a save before the briefing and go through it again, this time focusing on exploring with the Mk. II. Problem solved, nothing missed.

 

[Blablurn]

ok, two different opinions :/ what now?!

of course i'm going to use spoiler tags i just need some help.

 

[Dabookerman]

Post it, and spoiler tag it. If someone highlights it, it's their fault. The game is out in pretty much half the world now.

Not a bad idea I write on tons of blanks and its fine. BUT cavet empetor they have no label on them. I say go for the cover or better yet, the essentials box (white box helps it stand out).

 

[jvalioli]

Last post here until I get stuck or beat the game. Later all!

Hey. Check your email. You might have gotten a shipment confirmation from Konami!

Anyway. I am SO out of here.

CAN'T FUCKING WAIT!

 

[ZeroTolerance]

No details, just tease. Foreplay, if you will.

I see you are in full force already getting ready for the game's launch. This should be good.

 

[Blablurn]

ok! question about first boss battle :|

Spoiler

What's the best way to beat her?

 

[SamuraiX-]

Hey, booker.

How did you handle the briefings on your first playthrough with the game? I'm honestly considered now even touching the Mk. II's interactivity function and just watching the briefing play out in cutscene fashion. Would I be wise to do so? :O

 

[h3ro]

I hate to belabor the point, but going back to the resolution/AA debate, its VERY unlikely that a game would have two different methods of rendering/outputting the visuals considering they (MG Story and MGO) will be using lots of the same assets.

Plus, the game looks frickin' hot.

Now back to monkey stealing peaches.

(I swear, the MGO clan better incorporate that tag somewhere) :lol

 

[ZeroTolerance]

You wont enjoy the game if you keep asking question. Experiment with it son, thats the best way to play the game.

PS: This is coming from someone who don't have the game yet.

 

[Niks]

Awesome!

That is all...
bails out...

 

[CharminUltra]

MGS4 will be inside my pants in about 7 hrs

Also ask a g/f or fiancee. Mine figured out for me how to bet Volgin based on years of watching her siblings play Nintendo/SNES/etc and learning boss routines and spotting Volgins. It may be one of the coolest events ever!

GAF Monkey unit. You just need a logo of a monkey with a peach (presumed stolen)

Only answer I can give is

shoot her with your most powerful gun, aint found out a trick to doing it yet ;x

Well, it's worth exploring quickly first time through. There isnt much to explore anyway. Plus you can always mess around after by going to briefings and loading your save data. It saves the items you get.

 

[KennyLinder]

Is MGS4 running 60 frames per second like MGS2 did all those years ago?

ok. i'll do my best!

BOW BOW BOW BOW BOW BOW...Master Grande Indeed.

 

[ZeroTolerance]

Is MGS4 running 60 frames per second like MGS2 did all those years ago?

No. A solid 15fps.

Spoiler

Seriously dude, where have you been?

 

[BlazingDarkness]

for you guys in the UK, dya think supermarkets (morrisons, Asda) will have the game in tomorrow? or is that too early?

 

[KennyLinder]

OK.. So what's it running like? Complete shit? It's a 30-dipper?

 

[Corran Horn]

Jeremy Parish blog about why they didn't have MGS4 review out yet, don't know if it has been posted yet.

this thread is getting crazy with people asking for help and what not. See you guys tomorrow

 

[KennyLinder]

No. A solid 15fps.

Hiding in case of spoilers. I seem to recall them saying its 60 for the most part, although that was a while ago..

 

[SamuraiX-]

Yeah... but I really don't want to miss anything... Damn. :lol

How about this, are there any actual valuable items that can be found during the briefings?

Is MGS4 running 60 frames per second like MGS2 did all those years ago?

Nope. Runs at a solid 30 fps, with occasional dips below 30 fps and occasional ups to 60 fps. Depends on how much is happening on screen.

 

[Blablurn]

just one last question about the first boss

Spoiler

how can I avoide her crazy rolling attack? I almost beat her -_-

 

[ZeroTolerance]

Hiding in case of spoilers. I seem to recall them saying its 60 for the most part, although that was a while ago..

It's a steady 30...you happy now ?

 

[Zen]

If they do a re-release of MGS4 a year from now I hope they can bump the game up to a more constant 60fps. That would be awesome.
