You have to get out of that area, Mei Ling tells you.

You should be fine after taking the elevator.
I'm sure he was about to get this. I was only teasing you Costanza, enjoy this brilliant game!

I'm stuck in this room.. how do I check the CD case? I equipped the disc but nothing happens.
:lol :lol :lol

you guys suck for telling him, but yeah, the gcn version does say "back of the package"
 
Man, I can't wait until I start playing this in May; I have a feeling my play-through is going to be a mix of Costanza and "WTF I CAN'T FIRST-PERSON I WISH I WAS PLAYING TWIN SNAKES AGAIN" :(
 
Alright folks. Do or die time. Amazon has yet to ship my preorder. I own:
MGS (PSOne)
MGS: VR Missions (PSOne)
MGS TTT (GCN)
MGS2s (PS2) (incl. Doc. of MGS2)
MGS3s LE (PS2) (incl. MGS Saga Vol. 1 disc)

I'm not feeling this anymore. Should I quickly cancel my order? Is there ANYTHING redeeming about this package?
 
I sugguest costanza stop posting here and play the game without GAF commentary. you can only play through a game for the first time once

Wait a sec what are you waiting for go play the MGS series.

I already played the first one for about an hour or so. I'm taking a break to eat/browse.

Cancel it. I have all of that (excluding the Document) and I'm not getting this. Unless you're that big of a MG fan.
 
Finally this work day is over and I'm going to pick up my copy.

I'll come back later to see if Costanza had any trouble with Mantis. :D

Yeah, I think I'll cancel. For once, Amazon's retarded shipping serves me well.

They didn't ship mine yet either and I ordered it this morning with one-day shipping. It says its in stock now.

Availability: In Stock. Ships from and sold by Amazon.com. Gift-wrap available.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001383L36/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Has anyone e-mailed them and asked for a explanation?
 
Amazon is shipping this to me. It's nice to have all of the games in one collection. Especially since I don't have the Substance version of MGS2 or MGS1 in general (only the Twin Snakes).

This will, however, be my 3rd copy of MGS3 :lol

If you have all that you don't need this. The only reason I got this is because I never did actually own either Substance or Subsistence (just the original versions of the game), so even without the extras, it's worth the price for me.

In your case, though, there's nothing here that isn't either the same as or inferior to what you already own.

Heh good thing the internet tipped me off to sell the original versions of MGS2 and MGS3 before the better versions hit or I would have the same problem like you.

Yeah, totally agreed. I wasn't really 100% sure what was included when I preordered it, and I didn't want to risk almost missing out on something like with the LE of MGS3s. My lesson's learned. I've already got MGS4 preordered.

No explanation. They're retarded. I preordered it over a month ago, and for me, it's estimated to ship on 3/24. Well, not any more. I just canceled.
 
I sold off everything to get this. I ended up making money on the deal.

MGS1 ($15)
MGS2:Sub ($25)
MGS3:Sub LE ($100) - I kept the MGS Saga DVD

I originally purchased MGS2/MGS3 on release date. I then sold those and bought the Substance versions. So I've owned (will own) MGS1 (x2) MGS2 (x3) MGS3 (x3).
:D
 
by the way, to the guy who are playing on PS3: you can use your analog sticks instead of fumbling around with the D-pad by accessing your controller settings through the PS button. By default, it should be set to "Digital control." You want to change it to "Analog" if you want to use the stick.

Wow pre-ordered over a month and they didnt ship it yet? WOW

This is what mine says:

Order Placed: March 19, 2008
Delivery estimate: March 25, 2008

I got one-day shipping and it wont get here till the 25th lol sad :(
 
Reading Constanza playing MGS1 for the first time makes me want to break out my copies of the game. Now I got to decide if I want to play the original or TTS.............ehh I'll just play both sometime this weekend.

that's bc they're not shipping til the 24th like every other order. Do any stores besides Gamestop carry this at retail?
 
Hmmm, I was going to go through my first run-through of the MGS titles in here, but it's getting super-spoilery already, and that's just with one person playing. I already know that
I'm going to have to look at the back of the game's package
at some point in the first game, so I think I'll just start my own Uber-LTTP thread once Choke On The Magic's memory card gets here.

Although I must say, the idea of a 15 minute cutscene has me bordering on seeing if I can still get my money back from Gamestop. Are the cutscenes at least skippable?

Skipping the cutscenes will kill half the experience.

Yeah you can, you can even speed through the codecs but you're missing out on a great story Vlad.
 
Just got a shipment notice from Amazon. Hopefully that means everyone's copy is going out (I just pre-ordered last week.)


I saw a thread a little while ago saying all the MGS games on the PS3 were fixed with the most recent FW. Did that come out yet?

Maybe these games aren't for you. The cutscenes essentially make the series what it is, plus there's some that are way, way longer

Heh, same here. Actually, alot of my games and other stuff is still packed up in boxes since I had moved out of my old house, but reading this thread made me go find my copy of MGS1 again. I also got my VR Missions copy handy.
 
Curse this thread! Making me wanna play the games again but I got no time! I still gotta go through MGS2 for a second time later this year then MGS3 for the first time ever then MGS4 probably next year. x_x

Believe it or not, Meryl isn't at home.
Please leave a message at the beep.
I must be out, or I'd pick up the phone.
Where could I be?
 
I've never played Metal Gear Solid 1, and I just tried to play it and I just can't. I can't tell what the fuck is going on, the PS1 graphics are killing me. Should I just skip it and move on to the PS2 games?
