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

MGS3 was awesome in more then a way. The story, particularly the final battle were epic. The gameplay itself was great in overall, but there was so many little annoying thing. Loading the menu to change gears and heal yourself, the camera angle when you're outside or even the brutal AI when you're discovered (fuck them..let me at least hide in a locker).

Yeah, gameplay wise (despite being a setup) accessing the menu to change camo and fix yourself often broke up gameplay quite a lot. Which is why I suppose they made Octocam and took out the first aid thing (even though I thought it was quite a nice idea, just executed poorly).

Although I don't think the AI is any more forgiving, hiding is pretty hit or miss and I honestly haven't used the cardboard box since MGS1 and I haven't used the Oil barrel...

Yeah, all those thing were good ideas in theory, but poorly executed. Doesnt really take anything away from the game tho, but it could have been better.

And the oil Barrel is awesome. I don't know if it works well or not, but it makes me laugh every time. Actually, I used it a lot in act 3 to avoid the car and other similar thing when I'm too lazy to go hide in a corner. You can also use it to hide after waking up someone.


About the AI, you can play forever with a guard in MGS1-2-4. Knock on a wall and run around an obstabcle, toss an empty magasine and distract them for 10 seconds...etc. In MGS3, they would just start the alert or something. I'm not saying it never worked, but executing those kind of thing was much harder.

80gb PS3 will play MGS3 but there is some framerate problems during one of the bosses. Still easily playable though.

If you get the Essential Collection, it includes the 2nd releases of 2 & 3, so you get the free moving camera in Snake Eater, which helps the game ALOT.

I can imagine...jungle area were so evil the first time you go through them.

the camera angle when you're outside

If you're playing MGS3: Substance, the camera isn't a problem at all, since its no longer fixed and is fully rotatable.

[Krandor]

Fighting The Fear in the original release drove me ballistic, the fight is so much better with a free moving camera available.

So it plays it better than a 60 gig; I had framerate issues all over the place when I replayed it a few weeks back. -_-

I'd be shocked if it was all free.

[Torn]

Nah I highly doubt it will be free.
Considering 1 character slot is $7 I really hope the price isn't crazy. Hopefully under $15 or something :/

[archibaldcrane]

Considering 1 character slot is $7

Oh man...that's kinda pricey.

Although I suppose it lasts forever and there's no monthly...still meh. I hope it's not too much, seriously.

[Kiarax]

Longshot, but does anyone happen to have images of the PMC logos? Just a simple 1 colour image of the Raven Sword, Pieuvre Armement, etc logo? Can't seem to find any anywhere.

[Cydewinder]

This was the only one I could find, couldn't find any others sadly.

Can special items be bought for 50% off in Act 5? It sounds almost too good to be true if possible.

[BRP]

Just beat the game without getting any alerts or killing anyone

Yes, it's true.

[Juriva]

Cydewinder, thanks a million for the Haven pic, I now have a new wallpaper. If you could find the others (especially Werewolf, I love that logo) I'd be eternally grateful!

In other news, I just wanted to brag to someone that I got my BBE (Big Boss Emblem) :D

Holy shit at the time. Talk about cutting it close! I'm on the chase scene on my BBE run, I'm taking a short break before I let the frustration begin.
