Installing...

 

[SamuraiX-]

Whatever you do, don't look in the Penny Arcade thread...

Oh I heard about that, but at least they were kind enough not to do it in our glorious thread.

Anyway, MGS4 is finally upon us and it just feels way too surreal. Can't wait to be playing it tomorrow morning.

BROTHER! IT'S BEEN TOO LONG!!

 

[AgentOtaku]

Woooo...My LE PS3 has shipped from Konami!!! So I should be receiving my Japanese LE PS3 tomorrow and the NA Konami one Friday...Good times...

Holy shit I just checked and my Gun Metal God Bundle shipped motherfuckers !!!!!

 

[Greg]

Well, those plans with the girls failed horribly and ended up lasting for about 2 hours.

It's now 12:14 and I live about 15 minutes from the Gamestop... guessing it would be closed down by the time I got there.

I work tomorrow afternoon, so I turned midnight gaming success into a failure.

 

[No_Style]

Awesome job with everything man. So many bailed out in fear of spoilers, but all of us here were the select few to bear it until the end... And no account suiciders! Even on the eve of the release of MGS4 in the US! I applaud you GAF!

Stay classy.

One casualty. Went with a smile on his/her face, though.

Holy shit I just checked and my Gun Metal God Bundle shipped motherfuckers !!!!!

Congrats. Did you pay for super fast shipping?

not really it was either $50 or $100 (I live in Alaska)

...I opted for $50

 

[Kowak]

It is so amazing, got a signed kojima version and have been playing it the last four hours. love it so much, back to it now.

i has a metal gear

 

[ratcliffja]

So as someone who loved the first, didn't care for the second, never bothered to finish the third, and doesn't own a PS3, would you recommend this game to me? Because somehow I still really want this game.

OH MY FUCKING GOD ITS MINE

SEE YOU BITCHES ON THE OTHER SIDE

 

[Sallokin]

1 hour 36 minutes. I can't believe it's almost here...

 

[Simo]

YO CHECK IT!!!

Looks like the Japanese PSN store updated for MGS4's release as they've got a "Hagane" PS3 theme up for download including 4 different wallpapers!

 

[BobTheFork]

Those of you not getting midnight launched, CHECK LOCAL WAL MARTS. I have a preorder for tomorrow but I found out I can get it at Wally Wank at midnight so I'm snagging it early. You should all try as hard as possible to be like me.

 

[JPBrowncoat]

Whatever you do, don't look in the Penny Arcade thread...

Phew. I'm glad I bailed out of there a couple day ago.

I wouldn't know. I haven't played the game yet. You were probably drawn in by the gravitational force of this huge yet awesome thread.

Got my special edition! Make sure to get the artbook some people walked out without theirs. Installing now

 

[Victrix]

Heading in soldiers. Periodic (non spoiler, still spoilered!) reports from the field as we enter the conflict zone.

 

[Duderz]

So I could pick it up tonight at midnight, but I have a pretty important class meeting tomorrow, and you people are getting me all riled up for the game.

Should I get it tonight? (Do I really need to ask?!)

So when are spoilers permitted in this thread? I won't be able to play until after work tomorrow.

 

[MarkMan]

The world will change.

Everyone come back safely. Stay safe soldiers.

*salute*

 

[fistfulofmetal]

I can't believe I bought the LE Guide :lol
Oh well, it's pretty and hardcover

Fuck I didn't get my art book, I didn't even know it came with one.

 

[alr1ght]

I'm now in the possession of the LE
but I have no PS3
and I forgot my artbook

 

[Moray]

Screw you guys! I'd go pick it up but I won't even have a TV until Sunday.

[Mutagenic]

Oh dang one last thing.
Its been a pleasure waiting with you guys I think this was one of the few through and through
awesome threads to be in aside from a few spoiler scares so thanks a lot.

And pictures of cow-eating spiders.

 

[brandonh83]

ITS INSTALLING

FUCK OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK

YES

 

[RoboPlato]

6.5 hours until I start my bundle hunt. Wish me luck, comrades.

 

[Teknoman]

Wait, the framerate is better/ higher than MGO beta? Or is it a locked at a smooth 30ish looking framerate, or even better than that?

 

[TTP]

WTF everyone seems happy about a game installing now. World has changed.

Its installing and that means I CAN PLAY METAL GEAR SOLID 4 WHEN ITS DONE

We've all come together for the greater good.

 

[Oni Jazar]

Installed! Damnit I can't get past the title screen. I mean I can I just don't want to push START

 

[Sallokin]

It's been a long road since TGS 05... it's all come down to this last little wait.

 

[thrasher]

When are Gamespot and IGN going to post reviews?

 

[brandonh83]

It's been a long road since THE END OF MGS2

FIXED

 

[TTP]

When are Gamespot and IGN going to post reviews?

While nobody is watching.

 

[RoboPlato]

I'm so pumped for this game. I hope I can actually get everything tomorrow so I can finally contribute something to this awesome, awesome thread. To all that are playing now, I salute you.

 

[andycapps]

Less than a minute left for me. Feels like the end of an era.

 

[jiggle]

 

[brandonh83]

2 MINUTES REMAINING

AND DONE

I CAN PLAY NOW

SEE YOU BITCHES

 

[Bulla564]

Gentleman, it has been a pleasure waiting with you.

The day is upon us, and I will be going to bed. It is T minus 9 hours 27 minutes until I get my hands on the game, and I now officially depart the internet until then.

I am proud to have survived spoiler-free since TGS06 (even after browsing the LE guide). No other game has made me do this (including feeling like a hyped up 12yr old again), and I will enjoy every second of MGS4.

SALUTE!!

P.S. Props to Bruce. This thread is legendary and shall forever be one of the best.

 

[PROOP]

Just watched the intro and OMG I already came.


Plus, I&m not sure of it, but there might be a trailer for a new game from kojima. I dunno though, i'm soo baked.

 

[Resident Guru]

Where are the reviews for this game? I want to believe! I never really got into an MGS game but I have this game preordered and paid in full, I just need something to tell me I should just go get it and enjoy.

 

[JakOfTheShadows]

Picked up my LE + art book. I finished the game install and I'm now downloading the v1.01 update for MGO. About 60% done with that, but unfortunately I have a big day at the office tomorrow so I will be going to sleep here before long. I wish everyone the best of luck with their play through.

 

[BobTheFork]

While nobody is watching.

oh no, no way they miss out on the web hits.
