Skull Leader Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 What's your username and server of choice? Mine's SKULL_LEADER and I'm usually on the Snake server. Quote
Spatula Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 I just got Subsistence yesterday but have never played the original Snake Eater, so I'm busy with the solo campaign. Perhaps sometime when I get a network thingamajig. Quote
UN Spacy Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 I'll try it this weekend. MGS3:S at Fry's for $23.99 is EXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXCELLENT. Quote
Duke Togo Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 I've never been able to justify buying the Subsistence releases after already paying for the original games. Kojima just can't help but push his fans to double-dip the MGS games, and I'm just not a fan of that. Quote
Eternal_D Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 so this version has to original game on it too?? Quote
Skull Leader Posted March 17, 2006 Author Posted March 17, 2006 The original MGS3 and a LARGE number of things in addition: -the original "Metal Gear" and "Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake" for MSX -Online mode with several different games -Huge "out-takes" theater with humorous clips Kojima and his crew put together in-game -(if you got the special edition), an extra DVD with basically a full length 3-hour movie version of MGS3 (using cut-scenes and a number of others made just for the movie) I didn't get MGS2S for the same reason Duke listed above, but this one has loads more stuff that make it worth it.

Duke Togo Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 You forgot the new 3rd person view they added, which probably makes the game alot more playable and fun. Quote
Project Phoenix Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 The online mode is a lot of fun. It is simple, straightforward and cool as hell. Quote
Keith Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 It's worth it for MG MG2, & Secret Theater alone. The new camera is just icing. Quote
wolfx Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 The online mode is a lot of fun.It is simple, straightforward and cool as hell. 381124[/snapback] I saw the hilarious trailer for Subsistence. It looks like 3rd person Counterstrike with some level of roleplay involved. PS: Curious, how does paper box disguises work online? Quote
Project Phoenix Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 You automatically equip the box when you pick it up during play. The box works just like in the single player mode. You are right about MGO being similar to Counterstrike. Only you have no cheaters and no hackers. Quote
wolfx Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Then wouldn't everyone just empty their bullets on every paper box they find? Unless there's tonnes of empty papers boxes in the whole map. Quote
Duke Togo Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 aren't selling points to me, because I can and have played both of the original games on my computer. Its just that I've already paid 50 bucks for the original MGS3, now they want me to shell out more for a suped up re-release. Is the 3rd person perspective worth that to me? Quote
Skull Leader Posted March 17, 2006 Author Posted March 17, 2006 Then wouldn't everyone just empty their bullets on every paper box they find? Unless there's tonnes of empty papers boxes in the whole map. 381292[/snapback] Well, there are plenty of empty boxes scattered around the maps too, so it's a workable disguise. I've played as a spectator on a couple of matches watching people who actually use the box, and they've been able to land plenty of stalking kills using it (lots of people just run right by, since it actually takes effort to kick in an empty box). I watched a guy land no less than 5 kills in a row while waiting for people to run by his box before someone caught on and started shooting every box he saw (including this guy's). So, it DOES work!

Smiley424 Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 I'll probably pick this up. Since they did it with Metal Gear Solid 2, I knew MGS 3 would have something like Subsitence coming out too. Quote
realdeal Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 I accidently bought Subsistence without knowing there was a special edition. So is the special addition worth it, and how much is the price? Quote
Skull Leader Posted March 19, 2006 Author Posted March 19, 2006 The only thing the Special Edition adds is a DVD with all of the cutscenes rolled up into something like a 3 hour movie (with some new scenes to provide the necessary transitions). I *might've* picked it up if the store had it, but I don't know if it justifies the extra $10... the more I think about it, the happier I am with the one I got. Quote
Keith Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 Definately worth the extra $10, but not the end of the world if you only find the regular version. Quote
Chowser Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 Definately worth the extra $10, but not the end of the world if you only find the regular version. 382076[/snapback] gamestop had the wrong version for me on hold, and they were out of the special edition, so i got the regular edition and an extra 25% off for my troubles. i'll live without the movie. I usually play on the Snake server as well, name is the same as Halo 2, Sarge051 Quote
