Official Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Thread!!!

[Oshin]

thanks dudes, anyways have you guys tried to fuck around with the robot while at mission briefing? You can get some random items, and you can see what's Sunny playing on her psp. =D

edit: I think apple paid mgs for advertising, I saw macbook pro and obviously the ipod haha.

[nIsMo_uMbReLla]

Spoiler!

fuck stuck in act 3 where you gotta follow those guys around in the city, but no more old snake!!!!!!!!!!

[dub.g]

^^ haha i actually found that easy

what got me taken forever to finish was trailing footprints in the forest.... im too much of a perfectionist and didnt want to get spotted or anything, and damn the FROGS are tough soldiers to hide from, they can see you even when ur at 94% camo

Spoiler!

I just passed the part with Big Mama and how she explains what really happened with Big Boss/Major Zero/The Patriots and Outer Haven.. seriously Kojima should be recognize for brilliant story telling.. Everything is tied up perfectly for the entire past 3 games so far.. and damn...... Big Boss!!!

this game is phenomenal, not because of the gameplay but presentation and storytelling,i don't know how some of you guys enjoying and playing this game without having to played the past 3 games..

there is soo much pun/jokes and info in the game that you have to be a pure MGS fan to get it..

i dont even mind watching the 20-30 minute cut scenes.. its just purely entertaining..

that's exactly what i've told my friends who havent played the old MGS games, or haven't at least done some research... THIS GAME IS F*CKING GOLD!.

edit: i'm at the crying wolf fight... and it's the hardest one so far... i thought it was going to be like sniper wolf or that old geezer from MGS3... but nope... it's totally different

[SkinnyPupp]

Partway through 2nd act. This game alternates between "this is one of the best games I've ever played" to "when will this fucking cutscene ever end?". Overall, totally worth playing though.

[nabs]

im not even done the first act. i think i'm close though.

[Tegra_Devil]

done the game.....sweet game....cant wait for the movie....

time for some online play

Spoiler!

mantis is fucking hard...had to go online to find out how to beat her..sit back and enjoy the ending movies...holy shit they are long...oh yes and sit through the credits as always

[AhXian]

few fun things i found, might have minor spoilers:

Spoiler!

-first time u meet naomi theres a hidden L1 scene allowing u to look up her skirt
-During a cutscence, you can shake your controller to return snake to his regular camo
-in the Shadow Moses when at Otacon's office... he asks you for the code... input 14893 (deren's freq) that will give you 100,000 DP points!
-in the vista mansion there's two posters of akina minami, when snake views these in first person he will call out the models name and his psyche guage will go up
-if you call rose on the codec and shake your sixaxis, her boobs will jiggle.
-the game Sunny is playing on the p2p (in the briefing for Act 2) is Penguin Adventure, the first game designed by Hideo Kojima, for the MSX in 1986.

MOVIE?????????

explain!

[dub.g]

^^ the movie has long been planned for years now

its no where near closed to being settled and actors being cast but Hideo Kojima has been pursued by studio companies for years, he wants it to happen.. just the right script, director and obviously good production value awaits

MGS storyline is too rich, too detail and too complicated to be told in a trilogy, and ill be fucking damn if this franchise is treated just like another video game to movie genres....

Spoiler for Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops and Revelations from MGS4

Spoiler!

i dont know how many of you guys played Portable Ops but at the ending credits, you hear again Ocelot talking to an unknown person on the phone talking about starting an organization and wants Big Boss's cooperation with them.. Through out the story, Gene referred to this powerful man as the same codename as Null (Grey Fox), which in other words, "Zero".. since the game has been released, people's speculations turned out to be true as Big Mama said that it was Major Zero, was one of the major players of The Patriots

The squads that Big Boss/Snake started up in this mission is the actual foundations of Foxhound, Gene's passing of the Philosopher's Legacy as well as Ursula's prophecy of the Metal Gear made it an unescapable faith for Big Boss to do what he has to do and eventually go againts Zero and US..

now that MGS4 has been released, MGS: Portable Ops stance as part of the MGS storyline has made it now a bigger important role to understand fully what is going on with The Patriots and Big Boss..

One of the minor complaints that fans gave to Hideo after MGS3 was released was that the Cobra Unit wasnt given a back story at all, which made the players less compassionate about killing them, MGS1 and 2 bosses, had back stories either told by them or through other people, in which you actually understand why you fought and killed them etc....

it shows that Hideo listen to this and made Drebin explain each character's bio from the B&B unit.. and in great depth.. another props to Kojima for this..

[nIsMo_uMbReLla]

hmm I think out of my total play time so far it's been more than 50% cut scene lol

i kinda played it like i was playing COD4 lol

[Oshin]

Anyone started to play MGO yet? If so,, lets play together guys,,, we should make a clan together haha. I love the level system on each basis,,, I'm gona aim for cqc, sniper,runner,and assault rifle.

[SkinnyPupp]

I have a couple questions about Naomi. I never played the PS games, so I am pretty much lost on much of the story. Please don't read unless you've gotten past act 3:

Spoiler!

Why did she betray Snake and Otacon, and what was she going to do with that memory card built into her necklace before deciding against it?

[dub.g]

^^^^ keep playing to answer your question

MGS storyline has always been full of twist and surprises...

just finished the game... holy fuck at that ending.......

but it was worth it, a good closure... ..

Here is another slight trivia regarding Para-medic and MGS1

Spoiler!

Q) Okay, they say in the story of MGS4 during the meeting with EVA that Paramedic became Dr. Clark at a later date.

Are we to assume that she is the same Dr. Clark that was killed by Grey Fox after he was brutally experimented on? Because last I checked wasn't Dr. Clark a man?

A) Yep, Dr. Clark aka Para-medic was killed by grey fox
They changed Dr. Clark from a "he" to a "she" in the graphic novel of MGS1

A)Errrr...this is taken directly from the MGS game script found right here on GameFAQS:

Naomi : It happened right after you retired. My predecessor, Dr. Clark,
was in charge.

Campbell : Dr. Clark...

Naomi : Yes. He started the gene therapy project.

Snake : And where is he now?

Naomi : He was killed in an explosion in his lab two years ago.



So...yeah.

They changed Dr. Clark to a "she" in the digital graphic novel. As I said before.

[no0dles]

so hard to play if u didn't play the previous ones lol

That's the answer I was hoping for, thanks

[aznrsx1979]
