Metal Gear Solid 4

[Dezm0nd]

Just finished act 4. Just when you think the game doesn't get any better, Act 4 came along and rocked my tits off.

Pure smiles all the way through.

DAMNIT!!!

Just finished Act 1 again and apparently I killed 1 person! I'm raging. But now after thinking about it,

->Open Spoiler<-

there's that tank you have to blow up near the start, well you don't have to but all the militia guys are shooting at it and the automatic turret on top. So I blew it up with the missile that it conveniently left next to it thinking it was just a machine but maybe there was a person inside!

Can't decide whether to start again or just continue on with the

->Open Spoiler<-

no alert run through for the stealth. I think I'll do that, giving me an excuse to use the stealth to run through it easier next time as I definitely won't have to kill anyone then!

[lurch996]

Jamesy, for bandana, don't kill anyone and stealth, don't set off any alerts! Just like the previous MGS's!

You can buy them off Drebin after you've completed the game too.

[Rossco]

For 5 million is a bit much though!

[Kaladron]

Just finished the game. Bit pissed off at the ending

->Open Spoiler<-

I think ti went a bit too far with all of its twists and revelations. Too many people come back just to reveal a bit of info and then die off again.

Having said that, I did love the

->Open Spoiler<-

cameo from Psycho Mantis. Didn't see that one coming and thought it was pretty funny.

Story aside, however, I loved the action and the use of different locations.

Playing through again on a higher difficulty now, listening to the podcasts and trying to find more secrets. I noticed Penguin Adventure (one of my favourite ever games) on the credits so there must be something related to it that I missed before.

[RobDimmock]

Bit of a problem, anyone know how to use the

Octocamo

?

[ezee ryder]

Just press against a wall or lay flat down on a surface and your camo will change accordingly.

[hush]

i am loving the game
how long is it taking people to finish?

I think it is on the breifing to act 2 or 3 that you can use the MkII and

->Open Spoiler<-

go upstairs and sunny will start playin it on a psp after a while.

Took me between 16-17hours on normal. I'm not sure how many hours of cut-scenes were in it but i'd imagine maybe half that.

Just started Act 5. How are people

->Open Spoiler<-

getting to the far side of the ship at the start? Is it a simple gun battle or are people hiding and getting their slowly?

I've tried each way twice & died almost straight away so I'm wondering which way other people recommend.

[SummAh]

Use the tranquil gun and lotsa sneaking, hiding.
Oh...there's plenty of running involved too!

The way I did it was

->Open Spoiler<-

I stuck to the left, tranq'd any frogs in my way then climbed the nearest ladder, jumped down onto a platform and then rolled onto an air duct from there. Crawled across the air duct, then dropped down, shot the **** outta the Gekkos and ran for the door. Took me a good few tries though.

Just finished Act 2 (yeah, lagging behind):

->Open Spoiler<-

Does anyone else get the feeling that Kojima made Raiden totally awesome and someone that you'd want to play as - but strictly an NPC - as a big FU to all the people who moaned about him being rubbish in MGS2?

[Spatial]

Yes, I'd say that's exactly why he's done it.
