          As you'd expect from a game from an Eastern dev company it has a lot of social and cultural traditions embedded in it. There's an inherent awkwardness about some aspects of it, some of which fit the very definition of lost in translation. A good example is the moment between

          Otacon and Naomi in the aircraft and the coyness you see between them.



          The game is still dogged in parts by corny dialogue and some annoying (albeit rare instances) of terrible voice acting (Otacon's crying just made me want to slap his head off his shoulders), but I found all these tend to become insignificant against the plus points that far outweighed them.

          I do think that how much you get out of the game will depend on how much you liked the others and how much of a fan you are of Snake's adventures.

          I said before it's release that I expected nothing less than fan service, and got it in spades.
          Yeah, even the voiceovers have that anime feel to them. BioShock and GTA feel more as though they're trying to ape film by comparison.

          I agree that you get much more out of the game depending on how involved you've been with the series over the years. Although every Metal Gear has social commentary, it's not what I enjoy it for. I enjoy it for the abstract insanity, the attention to detail, the fact that the game (more so than ever before when you consider how narrative has changed) feels completely different to anything else out there.

            How do you think Sunny'll go then? Stomped by a Gecko? : P

              It's certainly abstract - there's not many games that have a shaved monkey smoking a cigarette.

              You should remember him in MGS2. Hilarious!
              I'm just glad his did piss himself this time

                Probably the worst thing that could ever happen to a girl. Getting killed by a MK-II.

                I loved the Monkey. He had me grinning from ear to ear whenever he was on screen. He was super awesome!

                        Just watching the first mission briefing, the

                        extended one from the main menu

                        and forgot to ask earlier

                        I know the eggs mean something as such, but why is she singing random numbers? some sort of code I take it



                        This will just get better on the 2nd play through now you know stuff, even little things such as the

                        names of the chickens laying the eggs being called solidus, liquid etc, 'only two eggs? solidus isn't very well today' or something along those lines

                            So after saving over my completed game save file and being devastated i have now recovered and am tackling a second no-alert playthrough. Made it to act 2 where

                            you are in naomi's lab and the frogs bust in. Anyone have any tips to get through this without alerting?


                            Seems ridiculously hard but i haven't had many attempts yet.

                              I think the DS3 work in the game is amazing, its subtle but the best rumble in a game yet imoh

                                The rumble at some parts i think works really well too actually.
                                Especially noticable when there is a helicopter overhead, the controller seems to match really well with the rythm and sound of it.
