Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

[wiiksie]

Goddamn, this is a good game. Best combat on PS3 by a mile, customisable weapons (bit like Crysis in that respect), more combat than before, harder stealth than before, the Octocamo suit is superb, loads of gadgets, not had too many cutscenes yet either. The iPod is a superb touch too.

 

Loving it.

I am being driven toward PC World's buy now pay over 4 years to play this beast...

[Guest TK-421]

I've got it but I haven't started yet.

[Thants]

Boy I need to find myself some free time real soon.

[wiiksie]

Dan: beg, borrow, steal, do whatever you have to. If you liked previous metal gear games, you will go nuts over this.

 

Nick: get it. Its that simple.

 

TK: I expect a glowing report from you soon, soldier.

[Thants]

Nick: get it. Its that simple.

 

My first paid film project will hopefully be finished this week - what better way to celebrate than attack scary things on me PS3 over the weekend.

Middle section of this has turned a bit cutscene heavy. I can imagine it might be a bit much for n00bs who want to skip the waffle, but understand wtf is going on.

 

But I've just got to Act IV, which is pure MGS porn for anyone who has played the earlier games in the series. Weather effects are stunning too (its all snow and shit on this level).

Roses are red and all that ;p

[RedKnight]

I have a book based on the NES original, it's shit.

I'm not giving away any spoilers, Daniel.

 

But MGS fans will fucking love the 4th act.

If you Metal Gear fans haven't seen this yet, you'll love it, you'll piss yourselves. It's brilliant.

[NelCarra]

Act 4 is quality

[Thants]

 

Nick: get it. Its that simple.

 

 

Ordered Seargent Weeks Sir.

[Guest TK-421]

I started this tonight and am suitably impressed.

[Thants]

Crikey, arrived already. That's tomorrow night sorted then.

[Thants]

Only had time for half an hour last but my god ITS HARD!

[wiiksie]

I finished this bad boy last week. Loved it.

 

Be interesting to see what the MGS N00bs make of the story telling/cutscenes...

 

And here's my tip #1: during the Mission Briefings (where you can change the camera etc), switch to Metal Gear MK II and have a nose around...You get rewarded for exploring in this game.

OK, I have no idea what you're on about at this time but OK!

[woodylfc]

how good is the begining of act 4 !!! What an awesome touch. Without wanting to give too much away I still remembered where to go and what to do and it must have been years since i played that. Some of the cut scenes have been hard work but some are stunning. Raiden fighting vamp is different gravy

[Mikey Boy]

Wow completed it twice now, so sad i know and only had it 3 days :S

 

Gotta say, best game i think i have played.The story is confusing at times but i think thats why i love it so much, when you think you have figured something out your like, wait no, thats not it, brillant.

 

All the other aspects like game play and cut scenes are been touched on, but like whats been said, it actually IS a cut above the rest, not it will be.

 

Love the end cut scene, don't care that it was nearly an hour i think, i think its needed to round everything off without it feeling too rushed IMO.

 

I actually have never come to tears before playing a game, i didn't actually cry, but the way it was written and produced is pretty close to perfect and i nearly did.I do love MGS, have played them all but wasnt a die hard fan so i loved remembering everything and was shocked when things happened i didnt expect.There were are few bits that made me sad, mostly because of it coming to an end really but the sneaky bit from past games sneaking in.Oh and in Act 4, made up when you had to go there but made me sad the most haha

 

Its like being an interactive movie, the best movie ever made

 

Worth the £40 i paid for it IMO, even if i just play it once.Great game for non-fans, epic but slightly depressing for die-hard fans.....

[NelCarra]

Twice in 3 days! Fuck me, you musnt have put it down for 3 days!

[Mikey Boy]

Dude tell me about it, literally everything had stopped for those 3 days, crazy shit.

 

I felt like the saddest 17 year old on the planet but i felt i had to give this game a good seeing to but when i did it once, i had to play it again :$ .Never been like that about a game haha, im hardly a causal gamer either really...

 

Mind you, im back out playing football and causing havok as per now, but what a game....

[Thants]

End of Act 2/ Act 3. Now that was a long scene. Can't seem to angle MkII to see Naomi's tits though. She is sex.

The scenes add to the game. I've never been arsed with the faux macho GTA scenes til Brucie came along but these MGS scenes actually add to the game and tell a story without awful acting.

[Thants]

AAAAAAAAAAAAA WHAT A SHIT FINAL GAME GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

spoiler . . .

 

 

 

 

 

 

pointless random buttin thumping. Yeah, I wanted to spend a best part of a month to be met with Tekken.

FUCK SAKE
