Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

Agent17 · 06-20-2008, 05:03 AM

I just finished the game yesterday on the Hard difficulty. The ending sequence was at least over an hour long. This game has the most amazing storyline I have ever seen in a game.

To put it simply, this game is beyond epic.

Hell yeah!

I've never played mgs before, so I though it was going to be kinda boring... Seen others play the MGS1-2 and tought it looked boring and shitty. But MGS4 is totally one of the best games I've ever played, gonna try to beat it on Big boss hard now! >

And get awesome stuff, find easter eggs and stuff

Bah. I don't have a PS3

one of my house mates for next year might be getting one though, and I'm going to get this game even if he doesn't! The whole series is amazing.

Does the new one have the same medical stuff the third one had? And stamina?

Agent17 · 06-20-2008, 01:07 PM

I've played all of the past games at least ten times. MGS4 returns to Shadow Moses in act 4, which was insanely nostalgic if you've played the first game.

The whole storyline is simply epic to say the least.

No, Hideo scrapped the idea because it was actually more frustrating to have to heal yourself with medical supplies, and because MGS4 is mostly set in an urban environment most injuries that were in the first installment of the series would not occur, such as food poisoning or leach attachment.

The stamina bar has been replaced with a psyche bar which depletes when snake is in intense combat, or high stress situations, governed by the Stress Level Indicator. The psyche bar can be increased by smoking a cigarette, reading an adult magazine, as well as various other activities.

Aha I know how that goes

hours spent on MGS3 getting the infinity face paint, stealth and all the cut scenes

Yeh didn't enjoy the medical stuff that much, just liked the leech removing video that came up sometimes.

I am so stealing your PS3

I remember trying to find that damn snake in order to obtain the face paint, and trying to get through the game with no alerts for the Stealth camo.

MGS4 has many more unlockables, I'm going for the Big Boss Rank right now, which will be almost impossible, considering you need to complete the game on "Big Boss Extreme" with no deaths, no alerts, no kills, no recovery items, no stealth suit, no bandanna items, in under 5 hours.

I got through act one so far But I'm not sure how I'm going to get through the rest of the game without getting killed and not being able to recover my health, all within under 5 hours.

Raptor · 06-21-2008, 12:27 PM

Oh? That was a way of getting the stealth camo?

I'm pretty sure I got it by shooting everyone of those damn frog toy things. Including one on the edge of the runway when you're being driven away from the Shagohod on a bike.

That sounds way too hard, good luck.

Agent17 · 06-21-2008, 12:54 PM

Yeah, shooting the frog things was a annoying alternative of getting the stealth camo. I didn't bother getting them though, considering a number of them are hidden in boss battle areas, Groznyj Grad, and various parts of the Sokrovenno North and South areas, which makes it basically impossible find due to the heavy forested area.

Anyway, I just completed the game of Extreme, with no alerts, deaths, or recovery items, but unfortunately I missed the five hour deadline my twenty seven minuets. I ended up getting the Fox Hound ranking instead.

Not what I was hoping for but I ended up getting the Thor 45-70 pistol, and the stealth suit. But I didn't get the patriot or the Big Boss face camo. Which is complete bullshit. I guess I wasted too much time in Shadow Moses during the Crying Wolf battle, I'm not sure how the hell you are supposed to kill her quickly, the battle lasts forever.

Big Boss attempt 1 failed.

I'm going for the Assassin's Emblem next, you need to beat the game with 50+ knife kills, 50+ CQC holds, and 25 or less alerts. That should be easy, and in the end you get an Altair costume, Assassin's Creed meets Metal Gear.

Raptor · 06-21-2008, 03:41 PM

I found most of them the first time through really, but then I cheated and looked up the locations...

Good work there though, sounds like the special items are a lot harder to get now.

Agent17 · 06-21-2008, 04:54 PM

Just got the Altair outfit!

Here is an actual picture taken by me with the in-game camera:

Yes, that is Metal Gear Solid 4, not Assassin's Creed. :P

gothicusmaximus · 06-22-2008, 03:36 PM

I want this game, but not so badly that I'm motivated to purchase the horrendously expensive PS3.

The game would have to teleport whore's into the room before I bought a ps3 so I could play it.

Barfing_Rat · 06-25-2008, 07:55 AM

Damn smoking to help stress level go down? Snake is a pussy! His daddy do better and even survived a vicious beat down from Volgin :-P

Agent17 · 06-27-2008, 11:59 AM

He *spoiler*[Survived more than that]*spoiler*

Big Boss Emblem attempt #1 starting tomorrow. Hopefully I won't waste as much time as I did before, especially in Act 4.

Barfing_Rat · 06-27-2008, 01:20 PM

So you'd say Snake is tougher than Big Boss?

Even if he is, I still can't really like Snake better than Big Boss. I guess it is just that Big Boss seems more human and emotional than Snake.

biohazard · 08-12-2008, 11:30 PM

A friend of mine actually lent me this game. I only played the first MG, and didnt like it that much. I am not motivated to play it, since I won`t have a PS3 in less than 20 days.

Wednesday Friday Addams · 08-13-2008, 12:07 AM

Great movie, I wonder if they will base a game on it?

Raptor · 08-13-2008, 06:27 AM

You're just jealous of the teleporting whores.

Anti-Mindvirus · 08-13-2008, 02:49 PM

Well fuck. Now i have to buy/steal a PS3 so I can play this..

I finished it 1-2 months ago. Yes, the story is deep and you need to know all Metalgear chapter to understant well what happens in the game.

Great graphic and the sequences are long as the overall playing time.

Woops sorry I posted 2 times..
