Beautiful.

[BRP]

This is why we can't have nice things.


I see the picture basically showing Snake is mentally falling to pieces over the war/events of the game.

[Xavier]

I see that picture foreshadowing some ridiculous VR scenario undermining the entire story, similar to MGS2. (sarcasm)

[Tajin]

I see the picture and wish I could be that good :<

If anyone gets word on when Pre-Orders for the package start please post in this or the other thread if I don't. I want to start putting money on it day motherfucking one!

I think in the MGS4/Kojima Podcast, they said "April 2008"

Neogaf has alot of the info

People who already Pre-Ordered should contact their place and ask when it will be available
For people who haven't ordered last week in March/first week of April is the Due date on the DVD

DVD will be a MGS 20th Anniversary giveaway with pre-order, will feature full recap of the series, interviews, trailers and include a key/instructions how to get the Beta

April 12th starts a 2 week Beta, Europe gets one too, no info on that

[Hitoshura]

Dammit I wish I had a PS3 already to play Beta! Going to have to wait till the game itself releases.

[izembo]

the game is already available to preorder.

the ps3 bundle system will not be made available to preorder.

Yeah i found out LO is extremely simple. Old RPG's I was alot younger, I remember really planning ahead in fights and what I was going to do well in advance, where so far in LO when i try to do that I end up dying a bunch and taking forever in fights, where if I would have just hit attack a few times instead I would have progressed much faster.

Game is pretty good so far, it's late so the dreams were getting SERIOUSLY annoying. They are great reads, but at some of the points they hit well, they are the least of my concerns. I'd want to be fighting or doing something but ohhhh got a 10minute dream to read lol. At least they are really well written though. Exo is saying if you care about the story to read everydream that hits in the middle of the story or a cutscene - but is that really the case? There are times I'd love to skip them but im 100% sure I wouldn't remember to read them later lol. Do they really progress or affect the story much?

As far as MGS4+Ps3 bundle, I wasn't planning to get a Ps3 till mgs4 came out, so if I do decide to get a ps3, the bundle is absolutely perfect. It's a pretty good package too.

Reading the stories just give you a better connection and understanding of Kaim and the other immortals. I also, think that the story is much more meaningful if you actually care about the characters, so I do think if you want a better understanding of their back stories you should read 'em. Just my two cents.

Also, if you hit the B button after it asked you if you want to read it or not...it has this blue filter thingie that marks it as unread in the list of dreams. So if you wanna you can just read it later when you're ready. But that blue thing disappears after you highlight the title, which is kinda lame.

The guys at my local GS told me it would be eventually.

[izembo]

they told you wrong. we got an email specifically saying that it wouldn't be, along with the god of war psp.

[Exoduso]

The 'guys at your local GS' are idiots... not that it's their fault, 90% of GS employees are retarded.

The ones at the GS I go to are self-loathing pricks who figure they should make everyone's life miserable since theirs sucks.

That's not your gamestop, that's the general population of CA.

True enough.

[Alina]

The people that work at my GameStop are actually pretty cool (since they let me exchange LO, twice even after the 7 days had passed). The fact that they actually play games helps a lot, too!

But anyway, the MGS4 bundle is not going to be available for pre-order? That would suck, especially since I want that bonus DVD. I don't give a rat's ass about the MGO beta though.

[izembo]

yup positive. they never take preorders on systems once the system is already out. like when the crimson or cobalt ds came out, there were no preorders. same with the 80 and 40gb ps3's, or the arcade 360. it's all just first come first serve on them.

[Exoduso]

They still sell motorstorm bundles don't they? I assume there would be enough MGS bundles to go around.

I'm pretty sure this is the winning post right here. If it was a new system release they'd take preoders. I've been told as much by the local asshole at my Gamestop.

motorstorm bundles have been gone over a month, and the last 80gb that were sold actually didnt even come with motorstorm. its all 40gb atm

[Exoduso]

Well for how long was the Motorstorm bundle being sold though?
