Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots *contains spoilers*

[spoiler:3qgrm7pa]why does Akiba remind me of Raiden? minus the constant shitting of his pants, but his hair looks almost exactly like Raidens (with what little you can see).[/spoiler:3qgrm7pa]

[spoiler:3qgrm7pa]Probably because he seems so Green. Mofo is a 10-Year Vet with like no combat experience.
Hi-larious Akiba scene late in the game with Meryl though[/spoiler:3qgrm7pa]

[spoiler:3qgrm7pa]I loved the scene when you first meet Rat Patrol, Meryl is introducing you to the team and you see the big ass exclamation mark on that guys head. Had me rolling for a few minutes. Also, if you look at Izzys pictures, you'll see the same haircut on some random guy hahaha[/spoiler:3qgrm7pa]

[spoiler:3qgrm7pa]Intro to the Rat Patrol and the following CS were pretty nice.
But the sequence when the Frogs arrive...now that's sommit nice.[/spoiler:3qgrm7pa]


To those of you who have encountered and fought the Gekkos (the wee Metal Gears in the Trailers):
[spoiler:3qgrm7pa]Have you been able to actually take one out?
I hit one head on with an Anti-Tank missle and didn't even dent it. Or do

And is it just me or is anyone else having the bastards jump on to your face, curb-stomp you, or roundhouse kick your face off?
It's like sparring with Chuck Norris.

In one instance the fucker cleared three buildings to land on my face and proceeded to Curb-Stomped me three times, I restarted, tried to sneak past the fucker only to have it Roundhouse me into a corner for 1/2 my Health and it followed up with a Boot-to-the-face for the remaining 1/2[/spoiler:3qgrm7pa]

*sob*

i can't click on them lol

[Exoduso]

I can't either lol... UPS WRU? ;;

[BarthelloSylph]

what the heck does TRU stand for anyways?

[Wintermute]

I can't either lol... UPS WRU? ;;

Fuck UPS. Every time I order something through the fuckers it gets here in 2 Days and they take a week to deliver it.
And every time they try to deliver it I get a different Driver asking for directions to my house, only to never have the package arrive. I have to get them to turn the truck around and go down to the fucking airport to pick it up in person.

I never had a problem with them. My only beef with them is that they don't come to my area until 5-6pm... it's like, can't your HUGE CORPORATION spend a little more money and get some extra drivers? =/

Just beat the first boss, took pictures of a few things I "played" around with.

[spoiler:gfq1o9qg]Ok so I just beat Laughing Octopus, the scene after when she is going nuts and just walking towards you. I tried to grab her but she ended up taking me down and straddling me and just like.. it looked like dry humping LOL.

[spoiler:3ld42btu]Nice!

All I ever got were hugs since I always CQC out of them for semi-free Stamina Drains.[/spoiler:3ld42btu]

[spoiler:3uir0nqi]Who the hell taught Solid Snake CQC?[/spoiler:3uir0nqi]

[spoiler:3uir0nqi]Snake's been in a ton of Military Units during his time. Pretty sure CQC would be part of their training.[/spoiler:3uir0nqi]

[spoiler:wx9frmn5]Let's just assume that him not having CQC in MGS1 and 2 is not just 'oh we didnt think of it until MGS3'. Ever since MGS2 he has been with Philanthropy, right? CQC is a very specific form of martial arts invented by Big Boss and The Boss. I do think it was taught to military recruits but Snake surely hasn't been a military recruit since the end of MGS2. Is this just a plot hole or does it matter?[/spoiler:wx9frmn5]

[Kwijiboe]

ROFL

If you try to pat down a Haven Trooper and attempt to knock them out by punching them in the crotch, they call you an idiot and kick you in the nuts.

[spoiler:117cammg]Not a plot hole, just the fact that they didn't implement CQC 'til MGS 3.

The Boss/Big Boss would have tought CQC during/after the Cold War, before Snake was cloned.
You really think he went his entire military career without learning some type of CQC along the way?

And CQC in general varies from country to country and even military forces, and I recall Snake has been in quite a few different units.

Just chalk it up to early gen-PS2 limitations like SE does everything else![/spoiler:117cammg]

[spoiler:2vt72ekm]So gaining CQC where the previous games didn't is not integrated into the story and is meaningless? Super lame [/spoiler:2vt72ekm]

[Elcura]

[spoiler:243jwpun]Would the fact that Snake being a clone of Big Boss mean that he would have inherited CQC of some form as well as Big Boss's other skills? In anycase, he might have picked something up during the fights with Big Boss in Outer Heaven and Zanzibar. I question why Liquid knows CQC, though the answer is probably the same. Inheritance.[/spoiler:243jwpun]

[spoiler:1ptep1mt]Holy shit at that long ass epic cut-scene at the docks in Europe, and QQ Eva[/spoiler:1ptep1mt]

[Robert]

nearest electronics store was 30 more miles away and the only cables bestbuy had were monster, -$80 ;; MGS4/PS3 yay!

[Jefe]

Lol, that stinks man. I bought my HDMI cables for $.75 cents. So yeah, I finally bought the gaem but won't be able to play it today ><

[Boyiee]

Ok, I think I already know the answer but, I wanted to wait till people actually had it.


Worth Buying a PS3 For?


I haven't played any console games in a while, I lose interest lately, havent finished a bunch cause they start to get boring or dumb after a while (GTA4 Lost Odyssey FF12 Zelda). Plus my PS3 will probably collect dust after I finish the game a few times... So... to buy, or not to buy a ps3 and this game... God why did the government send me that check that I have nothing to do with....
