so finally beat the game last night so iv moved on to MGO

they improved the game slightly from the beta test back in april..

the game definitely has some depth to it, its too fucking bad that 80% of the people you play with dont have headsets to communicate from.. i find myself talking to just another person in my team.. and this is a heavily team based multiplayer, even on team death match

but like Oshin said, we gotta start a clan, i got used to 360's Live friend invite, so im still getting used to know around PSN' friend list invite..

and some slight tips, dont treat MGO like COd4 with Run and Gun shoot, or you will get ur ass handed down by vet players with CQC.. the game has great depth if you take advantage of the skill system..

and fire in short small burst, if you try to spray in this game, the recoil will get soo bad and you will be shooting air instead...

Dub. G, u da man bro.. lets hit it up,, I've been playing mgo since yesterday,, I still dunno how to add friends on mgo though. let me know if you figure it out. Also, hows the mic on it? I don't have one but I hear some peeps that have one sometimes. btw my psn is oshin_inc.. add me bro.

i think there is a friendlist within MGO

i assume its using a different account from PSN, its using the Konami game id that you signed up with, which is what requires to add to your MGO friendlist

well my psn is blindpupp3t

my konami id is dubb.fox

and my character name is DubFox

so hopefully either one of those works..
the voice chat in the game is glitchy i notice, sometimes nobody hears me.. so hoping a new patch is released

and damnit, MGO servers is shutdown at the moment, their doing a maintenance fix..

yea mgo server just went down for maintenance, pretty sweet they do a codec call and announce it. btw I added you on psn,, but yea theres konami id and game id,,,lets see which one they uses. When do you think server is back up?

apparently there is maintenance shutdown every monday from 6pm to 9pm

why cant they have the maintenance done in like mid week or mornings when there is no one playing?

damn i mistakely read parts of it, im closing my eyes while posting this right now.

o btw, I purchased the Limited Edition from bestbuy today,,, are they suppose to give me a saga dvd too? Because apparently thats just for the regular version they said. Theres no art book right? http://www.joystiq.com/2008/06/12/me...-the-unboxing/


P.S: dub.g,, server is back up bro,, hit me up lets play together.. I'll get on a few second to see if I can add you.

Saga DVD is only for pre-orders.

really, because they say when you purchase the game it comes with a free saga dvd,, and when I went to Bestbuy on June 12,,, I saw them handing out to people that just bought the game. This says on their flyer too. I just want people to confirm this that bought the limited edition

oh if it says it on the flyer, then you are entitled to it. But i read online that the Saga is only for people who pre ordered it.

I have an LE and I got Saga when a little more than a month before the game came out. and It came with a Blu-ray documentary thing when i got the actual game.

^^^ just keep playing..

or if you are really confused, then stop playing all together and play the past MGS games to help you understand

otherwise, play the damn game until it ends.......

i would suggest re playing all mgs before getting to this one. theres too much story line involved.

and when you re play make sure you go till the end of the credits. then you get the last Codec call of the game. which leads to the next in the series.

I need some help with MGS canon because I just pondered something in my head and it makes no sense

read this only if you really want to know as you will find out the answer at the end of the game

but yes, play MGS3 to fully understand The Patriots and the Legacy

man so confusing
I think it's time to dust of MGS3 and have another go at it....but I can't stomach the way the ps3 displays ps2 games on HDTVs =(

I just hate it that so many parts of the story are completely unexplained, and therefore the acting does not go with what has been happening at all.

This game is SO good at some times, among the best I've played. But other times (usually after about 45 minutes of sitting through another fucking cutscene) it is SO BAD. But you can't just skip the cutscenes, or there would be no point in playing.

What this really does is make me hopeful that someone will copy the gameplay style of the 2nd act. Maybe Splinter Cell will do that or something.

I do plan on playing it a second time through (already went through act 1 twice, after learning how to play the first time). Maybe I'll play the first 2 games before I go through again (or at least the 1st and 3rd, as I hear MGS2 is pretty bad)

^^ thats what i was thinking after finishing it, the game doesnt do a good job of giving a back story or introducing new gamers to the story

however, that could be well overwhelming if it did try to cater to the new gamers...

its a conclusion of the story, which covers every aspect of the whole series storyline..

thats why the MGS series is either a love and hate franchise, gamers love it for creative boss battles, stories and jokes, hardcore gamers hate it for focusing mostly on storyline rather than gameplay..

other than that, the game is perfect at telling the story and explaining it to conclusion to MGS vets like us..

MGS 2 was considered bad because of its long codec dialogues, other than that, if you hate MGS4 now, then expect to hate the previous 3... their all the same in terms of gameplay and story telling..

anyways just got to level 1 on MGO, Im focusing on my quarterback, cqc, assault rifle and SMG skills

somebody with a higher cqc skill gave me a good run last night, the fucker decided to disarm me with all my weapons leaving me with my stun knife........ haha sweet ass battle we had, i eventually lost but we started knifing each and jumping around for a good 5 minutes

haha yea,,, and those higher lvl peeps can inject some shit on you and then can locate the enemy team through nanomachine. I heard if you can get cqc to level 3, you can hold them and press triangle for neck kill just like when you were Snake. dub.g i was trying to find you yesterday through player search, I typed DubFox but no search.. let me know when your on again because I won't be on til tonight.

hmmm if DubFox dont work, try dubb.fox its my game id

but ya, i wont be online til later tonight as well..

i dont even know why they made it soo complicated and decided konami to run their own servers.. you have to make a konami id, a game id and a character name.. WTF!

also, its such a rip off, for those starting with MGO, make sure you pick the right character look for your game because once you finish, you cant change your accessories, vest etc... the server will charge you extra money if you want an additional character slot and accesories that is strictly for looks and not viable to the gameplay...

i just hope they give us the option to install MGO on the hard drive seperately instead of the hassle of going through MGS4 menu and then to MGO...

anyone in revscene get the gunmetal grey?

konamistyle sent me one for free.. it arrived yesterday
