Metal Gear Solid 4 - Official Thread

ran back and grabbed it :P but booo!!!! it's not the full song :( full version is about 5 minutes 40 seconds and this one is like half that.. boo!!!!

and I <3 the rail gun
 
I'm really liking MGO.

I snuck up behind this one guy who was sniping and got him in a CQC chokehold. Then I got sat on top of him and suffocated him until he fell unconscious. After he did, I knifed him to death.

MGO has a lot of potential if support isn't killed off.
 
The Boss Extreme is kicking my ass

Ya, it's hard isn't it lol? I'm on my 4th playthrough right, and I'm trying to go for the Big Boss embelm(The Boss extreme, 0 kills, 0 alerts, 0 continues, 0 recovery items, beat game in less than 5 hours. Also Drebin doesn't sell non-lethal ammo on The Boss extreme so ya...).

I'm pretty sure I've spent like 10 hours on act one alone because of having to reload the game every time I made a mistake, and I'm STILL not done act one. Near the end though.

O_O

Holy Crap.
 
If you plan on going for the big boss emblem, go through a playthrough on anything lower difficulty first. When you get to act 5, stock the hell up on tranqs and v-ring ammo for shotguns. That way when you to a BB playthrough it'll all carry over, just don't waste them because you can't rebuy them.
 
Anyone know if there's a "Scene select" kind of thing in the game anywhere? I know there's Mission Briefing, but I can't find anymore than that.

There's a few scenes I'd like to record badly.

are they anything with the BB Unit? :D I like them, they're cool, but so tragic :(
 
It'd be cooler if during the drebin story telling time, they had CS's of the horrific scenes, itd add SO MUCH more lol.
 
Ok. Firstly this must be said.


BIG BOSS IS WIN.
Spoiler:

I marked out when I saw him. I thought he'd be in the game in a flashback maybe. But the ending really killed me. I teared up honestly. The wedding was cute, Raiden getting his family back was great, but the Big Boss/Snake reunion and sendoff was amazing.

Overall the game was great. I really enjoyed the theatrical experience. Alot of little nostalgic items. But I must admit the music and overall soundtrack strongly dissapointed me. Of the new music, I only enjoyed the "Father and Son" theme from the ending. Also they didn't recycle the "main" Metal Gear theme they had used in Sons of Liberty and Snake Eater.

That is my favorite overall theme. Maybe I'm missing it in iPod music, but I don't think so? But otherwise. Yes. Outstanding. Bears repeating....

BIG BOSS.


Edit by Raider: Added a spoiler incase someone hasn't beaten it yet.

is there anything you post elemmire that doesn't contain a link to kotaku in one fashion or another? lol
 
yes :P you'll find quite a bunch of stuff.. but most gaming news I just use Kotaku cause I'm lazy to use something else (and I hate IGN) though sometimes I give gametrailer links cause I like going there too.
 
He really is the shit :P
 
I only have one word for those going for the Big Boss title.....GOODLUCK!

I would like to say this. Omfg that was the most annoying, frustrating thing ever. It's so fuggen hard I could cry right now thinking about it. However with a lot of determination, I managed to snag the title of "Big Boss", and you wanna know how much time I had left!?!!?!? Look down

Also look at all the goodies I received for my effort

I'm not sure how to put spoiler tags on this forum so I'm just gonna give a warning :P

SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One more thing. Crying Wolf is SUCH a bish when trying to get this. I don't know how many times I had to reload from that fight...

And Act 3...The WHOLE ACT is horrible hard...REALLY GL to that...I cried on that act

Goodluck to those who want to try it grin worried . It REALLY does suck, but once you see "Big Boss" at the end the feeling is amazing.
