Metal Gear Solid 4

Got it thursday, and beat it about an hour ago. Fucking A! Not sure if I would call it the best, but it’s pretty damn good. Might be the best game on the PS3 i’ve played yet.

Whats the plot for MGS4? Does Ocelot/Shallashaska throw an appearance?

I’ve seen previews and such for it, and it looks phenomenal. I’ve only played the original MGS for the Playstation, and I think I might have the NES version’s ROM on an emulator somewhere. MGS is easily one of the best games I’ve played simply because of the dialogue. It was so metagame at times it was hilarious (i.e. the whole controller incident with Psycho Mantis).

Favorite quote: “HURT ME MORE!!!”

Ocelot’s in it, sort of… The dialogue is as good as the others, easily. I really enjoyed the story, and the gameplay was top-notch. It’s a perfect mix of all of the previous games, even the original nes ones (sorta). It just shows how much effort went into the story and everything else.

I’ve only finished the fist act, but the basic premise is that the world has devolved into a constant war economy with private mercenary groups fighting proxy wars for their employers. In the midst of this Liquid Ocelot has reappeared with a Machevelian scheme to take control of all the major private armies through their nanomachines and Snake is trying to track him down.

It’s easily the best game yet for my Bluray player.

So many cutscenes. Thank god for the pause feature.

I love when the game is loading the next act and it tells me that I have been playing for too long and should take a break. Meanwhile I just finished watching 25 minutes of cutscenes. Classic.

The game is great.

Beat it once, and now i’m playing it again. It’s great! Trying real hard to get the assassin’s emblem (kill 50 people by CQC/knife, and 25 or less alert modes). Really going to practice and try to get all of the emblems. Two of which are going to be a bitch: Big Boss and Foxhound.

Is the foxhound like last time? No alerts, or kills, etc?

I think so. I know for Big Boss, I think no alerts, no kills, no special items, and have to beat it within 5-6 hours. Foxhound is a bit similiar, but maybe easier? There’s three that seem super hard to get, Big Boss and Foxhound being two of them. I’m playing through again, slowly, but next playthrough, i’m going to at least try getting the assassin emblem: 50 CQC, 50 Knife Kills, and less than 25 alert modes, which seems a little more possible. I don’t see myself getting that big boss emblem anytime soon to be honest.
