mpchi Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 I am thinking no carrying over. I heard somewhere saying you won't keep your characters and stat in the actual game from Beta, so I assume its the same for the clans. Quote
Wes Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 If I got the 80gb bundle coming out, whould anyone be interested in buying off the game from me? I'm wondering how much I could get for it, not really interested in starting into a whole nother series, I wonder if I can get anything close to retail. Doubt I could trade it to Gamestop for a decent rate. Quote
Keith Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 You should be linched for even suggesting selling off MGS 4 without playingi t! Quote
mpchi Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 You should be linched for even suggesting selling off MGS 4 without playingi t! I know. Its the game that most people bought the PS3 for LOL. Sell it $10 cheaper than retail on ebay. It should be gone within a couple hours. Quote
Wes Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 You should be linched for even suggesting selling off MGS 4 without playingi t! Says the Macross 7 fan. I'm proud of the fact I'm down to 3 games I own I haven't played yet. Seeing as I'm hoping to start the Ninja Gaiden series up again, and that new Fatal Frame game comming too, I'm not in a rush to enter in a new series. I just want the PS3 right now for my home theature setup and for games alittle later. If I can sell or return something I'm not going to use all the better for the bottom line. Quote
ssfsx17 Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 I strongly reccomend to all Metal Gear fans - if you don't want to be spoiled, stay off the internet. There are people going around and posting spoilers in every single Metal Gear-related topic, regardless of the risk of getting banned. Quote
dizman Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Heh yeah I was figuring on that happening, maybe I'll just disconnect my comp for a week..... a week..... only a week left! Quote

Roy Focker Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Good idea. How about one month spoiler free after the release date? Quote
Gaijin Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Good idea. How about one month spoiler free after the release date? That sounds good. Quote
transfan52 Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 dude when I get metal gear im not even gonna look at any threads regarding MGS 4 until ive completed the entire game... theres nothing worse then seeing a spoiler for something youve been waiting years to find out. Quote

I've read a lot of the spoilers now, and I'm pretty satisfied if what's going around is actually true. Only thing I've seen that I don't like is a pretty bad review of the blue-tooth headset. Hopefully that's a fluke, as I'd hate to see Koji-pro supporting substandard hardware. Quote
dizman Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 (edited) I've seen mixed reveiws about the headset, a good one from IGN and a bad one from some other random guy. Also I've been hearing the headset will be on sale at best buy on the 12th for around $40 so don't buy it from gamestop if you are still getting it. Finally gamestop has released a list of which stores will have a midnight release of MGS4 (the store I ordered from isnt so no stayin up for me ) http://www.gamestop.com/gs/landing/mgs4/MG...ht.pdf?affid=33 Edited June 6, 2008 by dizman Quote

So I read EVERY spoiler thread out there. I practically played the game already. Doesn't ruin my experience at all. It's like having your cake and eating it too! Quote

transfan52 Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 I just got MGS 4 tonight at the midnight launch im gonna play the game tomorow man is it gonna be a blast! Quote
Keith Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Picked up my copy tonight, installed, went into MGO, and someone snagged "Keith," damnit! I am now know "Keith Zet," since some bastard stole my name, I'll hunt them down & headshot them for satisfaction! Quote
dizman Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 (edited) Ha that sucks Keith, I'll probably go and reserve my name after I get it (since dizman is such a sought after name ), then play story mode. So how is the game btw? Edited June 12, 2008 by dizman Quote
eugimon Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 The Fremont target (fremont and mowry) has a couple PS3 metal gear bundles available if anyone was looking for it Quote
Keith Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Honesty, haven't started the game yet, I've been sleeping & playing online, Plan to start in a bit though. Quote
Sergorn Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 So I went and got my Limited MGS4 edition this morning. It came with a pretty neat Old Snake figure that's nice And so here are some first impressions about 6 hours of gameplay, just starting up Act II (Not plot spoilers, juste thoughts about the gameplay) Well it kicks major ass. There thats it (Well that would pretty much sums it up but...) Graphically it looks pretty much awesome. Granted there are some poor texture here and there, and a bit of aliasing at times, but for the most time it is pretty much awesome (the character models are nothing short of breathtaking). There are some little framerate drop when there is a LOT of action on screen, but for the most it's very smotth. On a side note they also really manage to bring really seamless transition between gameplay and cutscenes this time, which is pretty neat. In term of gameplay it's just as great. Admitingly there's nothing really revolutionnary here - it's actually very reminiscent of Snake Eater, focusing mostly on camouflage, with the Octocamo essentially replacing the uniforms. Everything however feels more streamlined and enhanced, notably in term of UI (it's pretty much an enhanced version of the MGS3 Subsistance UI) and the ability to actually move & al in first person view is a *most* welcome addition (I ain't too fond of the "gears of war" view they offer personally so I prefer shooting in FPS like the other MGS). It'd say in term of gameplay it's pretty much to MGS3, what MGS2 was to the original game. I also play it in "Big Boss Hard" so it can gets a bit challenging, but not frustrating. IMO, Metal Gears games just tend to be way too easy in Normal. The whole "urban war" aspect is freaking awesome as well - the atmosphere is great, and it feels very different from the other episodes. Hell I dunno how it will unfold for the next chapters, but thus far I must admit i've done more shooting thant sneaking. It's not that sneaking ain't possible, but with a war going on around you it's hard to resist fighting in it, espacially since there is some great interaction with the allied Militias. On a side note kudos to David Hayter - he's as great as ever - and the way he act the old and tired Snake... is just awesome Not much to say about the plot, it's great but so far introductionary. And on a small minor environment spoiler It's amazing how much the environment of Act 2 contrast with Act 1 - after the yellowish middle-east urban areas - you get in a greener more jungle atmosphere, it almost feels like MGS3 If the other environment offer teh same variety it's gonna be awesome. So anyway, it feels like a great MGS. More later. -Sergorn Quote
Dangard Ace Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Picked up MGS4 today. Will get around to playing it this weekend. If anyone posts any spoilers before I start the game I'm gonna ban their ass! Quote
Roy Focker Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 6 minutes remaining for the install. Funny you get to watch him smoke a cig while you wait. I got the headset too. I have to charge it for 8 hours. It that kid size headset or do I have big ears? Quote
GogDog Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Controls took me a while to get, mostly becasue I just played through MGS3 again a few weeks ago, but once it clicked, its so great. Look great, I have it on my 24" HD monitor in my room with Dolby 5.1. Quote

Roy Focker Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 ID is Kamjin Was having fun until the expert players jumped in. If only I played 20 hours straight. Quote
Keith Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 The health warnings are great. I just finnished act 1, and while installing act 2, it told me that it's after 1am & I should take a break Quote
the white drew carey Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Was able to order the MGS4 PS3 Bundle off of Best Buy's website. Should expect delivery sometime next week. For further punishment, i also picked up another time-consumer, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion GOTY Editiion. Hoo-ray! Quote
eugimon Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 I'm really liking it. It took me a while to get used to the gameplay and the controls but now that I have, I can really appreciate it. i have to wonder where snake is holding all those guns though... Quote
Sergorn Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Wow I just finished Act 2 - that was awesome. I'm really baffled at how much variety this game seems to have - Act 2 was *totally* unlike the first one. Starting Act 3 now -Sergorn Quote
Roy Focker Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Just finished act 1. I think I'll just do an act every other day or so. Played the online version for maybe 9 hours total still at level one. Not so sure about the head set. Quote
Gaijin Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Just finished Act one. Wow. So far this is the most addicted I've been in a game in a long time. Not even GTA4 had me like this. Quote
RDClip Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Well, i finally can justify buying my PS3. It really is a great game. It is similar to the rest of the series, but brings so much more to the table. The story and characters feel more epic than previous installments. With many different locations and pretty much every live character from previous games, this game seems like the perfect ending to the series. (lol, i'm still not even close to finishing it, though) Anyone watch the Blu-Ray that comes with the LE, yet? I was scare to because it supposidly has spoilers. Quote
