Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

I don't want to go into details in fear of spoilers for some people I know who read this board, but, wow, possibly best wrap-up ending for the series and the character of Solid Snake possible, really exceeded my expectations.

one of the producers said there will be a mgs5. most likely starring big boss again.

i can't believe some of you people defend this shit! consistently! fuck you! FUCK YOU!!!!

oh no, my friend.

fuck u.

you know i really like this game but sometimes, like right now, i feel like i cannot watch any more cutscene. god. there is a cutscene on right now. i have already gone to the bathroom, gotten something to eat, eaten it, gotten caught up on this thread, and drebin is still running his fucking mouth.

I am in Act 2 now (Matt D lent me his PS3 which is awes, I can play the one or two games and not think about PS3 again until 2018 when FFXIII comes out). Not sure how I feel about the game so far. I really miss the MGS1/2 puzzley corridor-filled gameplay vs. this new camouflage-y openish area stuff. Plus the cutscenes my god. Normally I am the least angry peson about cutscenes, but the thing that's really really killing me is CODECS WHERE IT DOESN'T EVEN SHOW A DUDE'S FACE ie. the 10-minute codec speech from Drebin. Seriously I know people were mad because the other games didn't explain enough but it feels like this one is trying to explain too much. Show me your crazy, kojima, don't just write me a book and get a voice actor to read it.

Tonight I realized I only ever played the online portion of this once (after getting very frustrated just with the rings you had to set up an account), so anyway, I thought I should give it a second chance. Put it in for about an hour - played some deathmatch, team deathmatch and a sneaking game. Unfortunately, first impressions remained accurate. MGO is terrible! Probably the worst multiplayer game I've ever tried. How could one create a shooting game, where the shooting is so awful is something I'll never understand.

Wow it's too bad they all looked like they were having their teeth pulled. I don't blame them though.

Remember to skip Operation Anchorage, y'all. It's not worth it. Pitt great though. Broken Steel too.

It would seem there is only five more hours before an MGS 5 announcement:

http://www.konami.jp/kojima_pro/next/

someone checked out the source code - apparently there's a new countdown every week until E3. apparently the last one runs out during Microsoft's big address, so lots of ppl think MGS4 is going multiplat (which would be ridiculous due to the storage requirements, although I guess it could just have you install 20GB of it).

or they cd fkn edit the thing

so what's on the thing now is a gloomy landscape with rain, a big 5 in the background, and a clock, currently, counting down 100 hours and 30 minutes.

if I didn't know any better I'd almost think this whole promotion was a giant waste of time.

I loved 3, but 4 was disappointing - I've yet to even bother with finishing it. There's no reason it couldn't come out for the 360, reworked slightly and put on several discs. For whatever reason, I'm not too sure it's going to happen. Probably a weird Japanese reason. Looks like the announcement would be for the 5th game, but honestly, I don't care anymore. Series should be put out to pasture.

Looks like a Metal Gear Prequel

I'd rather see Kojima make another ZOE or just move on to something else.

PRS3E@(snake)S@PE3R etc

surprise @ e3 ? I'm getting tired of Metal Gears too.

Thanks for that image. I just went back to the site and it looks like the countdown restarted. Man, I really need to get moving on this "buy a PS2 so I can finally play Snake Eater" plan.

Btw, this webcam 3D-image creation-from-paper is some cool stuff.

make sure you get subsistence, nhex; the vanilla snake eater is a pita to play without the fully controllable camera

slim ps3 + mgs5 + trico. gimme a price drop and I'm sold

don't forget heavy rain! but yeah

Pages from the new issue of Famitsu have leaked and it looks like the next picture to appear on the countdown will be one of a one eyed, ninja cyborg Raiden

It's not that i'm tired of Metal Gear, i'd just like to see Kojima take his batshit insanity to new places before making another MG. In many ways 4 was a step forward but every step of progress came with a step back, i guess you could argue that that's MG entire history though, for everything that's amazing about it there are incredibly frustrating things about it too.

A familiar face appears around 0:45

i'm FINALLY playing this.

i'm not sure if it's the kidn of game i really dig... cutscenes and crawling around. but man, you can't deny how cool and inventive and thoughtful so much of it is. the death screen alone is brilliant.

honestly, i don't even own a wii and i wish his next game was for the wii. what made MGS1 so awesome is that it really took the console it was on (and all of the changes since the last generation like memory cards and vibration and turbo button recognition and the composite cable instead of the rf switch, but also old stuff like controller slot 2 and the jewel case) and implemented them to make a game that existed outside of its own little bubble. it interacted with shit you'd already played (CHILLING when i first saw it-- i didn't realize that games could DO that), it played tricks on you (remember when the video cut to a black screen with green HIDEO in the corner?), it fucked with your notions of what a console game really was. EVERY GAME SINCE has lost that magic, or rehashed it, or made reference to it without adding to it.

But, fuck, throw the Wii into the mix? whole new ball game. evne the DS would rule (anyone remember in hotel dusk when you had to use two fingers to solve one puzzle? GENIUS). the guy needs to be on a console that isn't the same thing as a PS1 only faster/prettier.

yes^

The other games in the series are good but the first MGS was one of those religious nerd experiences that can never be matched.

I do like the PeaceWalker trailer though (maybe it'll get ported to wii someday?)

haha kojima loves those fake trailer endings

Pretty awesome MGS4 speed run. My Big Boss Emblem run took me three and a half hours.
