Metal Gear Solid 3 : Snake Eater

[Bleeders]

Just finished it. PS2 GOTY easily for me.

[Chadruharazzeb]

Good man Bleeders! Now play it again!

The game came out in Japan yesterday - has anyone ordered it? Maybe it'll get three or four GOTY votes in before the closing date.

[Bleeders]

Don't worry matey, I fired up my completed save immediately after end credits.

->Open Spoiler<-

I really, really liked the ending as well; more twists than a rollercoaster.

It's nice to start a new game with The Patriot, Tuxedo and Camera too.

If I hadn't bought a PSP I would've picked up the JPN Premium Pack, which looks quite fetching.

[Treble]

It is very nice.

However, the US boxart is actually better than the Japanese for once >_<
Insania.

[Chadruharazzeb]

Whaat the faaa... the US box is teh naff0r... I'll have a look for the JPN one

EDIT - you're insane, sir! The JPN one is miles better. Love that Yoji Shinkawa artwork. It does look remarkably similar to the MGS2:S cover though

[Treble]

Bollocks. I'm fed up with those Shinkawa ones when they're just white backgrounds with a couple of figures in front. When he's on top form, he's great. But the Jpn one really, really needs more detail. I read a lot of comics; I speak from experience



US:





Jpn:



The Jpn one has too much white space and is too similar to earlier games. The US one suits the style more, imo. Shame that the figure of Snake is a render rather than a piece of hand-drawn artwork, but the eyes in the tree are a great touch.

[Uli]

spent approx. 5 hours to defeat The End. the fight started thrilling but ultimately got on my nerves because of the restricted view while chasing him down! and i wished i could take on this boss from first person view which would have made this fight a whole lot easier, shorter and more enjoyable!

i wonder if there will ever be a MGS-based First Person game!?

[Chadruharazzeb]

5 hours??

Jesus!!!

->Open Spoiler<-

You do realise that if you find him, you can just keep following him about and sneak up on him!

Treb, it's the naff (and norm for US box art) render that spoils if for me. Sure there's plenty of white on the JPN cover again, but that's all part of the MGS styling I reckon.

[Ravon]

lol 5 hours.. thats amazing..

->Open Spoiler<-

when he shoots you just look on the map and his position is in red..

got thrown back to the prison cell two times, then backtracking and starting all over. i though i could chase him down (some described this as the best tactic for The End!) and keep him from rebuilding his stamina, that's what took me so long, but didn't work out at all and ulitmately led to my frustration!

[007]

Does anybody know at all if the JPN version is in English? If it is, i'll actually plug in my PS2 and buy this game. I havent bought a PS2 game for years. :S

[Chadruharazzeb]

No it isn't! You'll have to wait for the Substance equivalent if you want English.... you should still get it though, there will be translations on gamefaqs.

[Ravon]

Has anybody linked up there psp MGA to MGS:SE apparently theres even more unlockable content when the two are linked ....

[venom743]

I got acid today but it says you can only access the stuff in SE once youve cleared acid.

[optimusomega]

Yeah would be interesting to see what you get when you complete MGS acid.

I've started in on Extreme now, hoping to unlock the
