I Finally Beat MGS4

I Finally Beat MGS4

Yeeeeaaaahhhhh! I had acc*milated to much annual leave and as such had been forced to take it so I took the opportunity to "veggie out" on some much missed game play. (eyes are tearing up) Theres nothing like Gaming hard out knowing you dont have to worry about getting up early for work. I must say that MGS4 has been the best MGS title of the series it was freak'n awesome and I'm not ashamed to admit that i did indeed shed a tear . . . . or more. . . . I mean dust particals landed in my eyes and irritated them like a Pro with thrush, but what can i say I was really captivated and fully immersed in the game, God bless you Hideo Kojima.

 

O.K lets get into the goodness that is MGS4 in all its 720p glory (would of like to see 1080) but hey I still remember reading how all MGS4 couldnt fit on a blue ray and had to cut down to size, so you cant really complain. you cant go wrong with a title like this as you keep finishing the game you unlock more gear and harder difficulty modes. The other strong feature of this game is the Metal Gear Online Extra game now thats an experiance and a half, I cant think of a better place to hang with some mates then in the MGS universe as you go around suffing out the lives of Counterstrike enthusiast who keeps looking for the shift key on a Sixaxis or getting shot in the back of the head with a tranquilizer dart "Tea bagged" and finding out down the line that it was 12 yr old kid pretending to be his older brother, who obviously loves the game more then you, Now into the game play you are greeted with eye candy from cut scenes to game play and more so with the bosses The beauties and their beasts, and the Flash backs (well not eye candy, but still images) althought repeatitive, is nothing short of nostalgic. The Close Quarters Combat system has been improved also, but you cant beat the array of weapons at your disposal that can be found around the dilapidated buildings of the middle east or the harsh and dangerous outdoors or brought from Drebin and his little cola and cigarette smoking addicted monkey, which makes the possibilites endless, to kill? or not to kill? that is the question. As you have your trusty companion Metal Gear MK II that can shock/stun your enemies and pick up ammo for you while you hide in the comfort of a hollowed out log,long grass or a drainage pipe, some of the boss levels can become quite irritating as you try and figure out a way to dispose of your foe none the less never back down.

Asking someone to beat Battletoads is like asking them to throw water through a brick wall, it just isn't going to happen!

MGS4 looks cool, if only I had a PS2...
I should probably play 3 first, though.
And get around to finishing 2. And 1.

You speak the truth bro. Half the genius of the Metal Gear Solid franchise is the epic storyline. To to get the best out of it you really do need to play the first 3 to really appriciate it.

Heck I even went to the lengths of trademe to find MGS1 and that what im playing right now.

LOL I found a copy of MGS1 at a garage sale that also came with the limited edtion sound track for $3 and brought the expansion pack from trademe which, if no ones played it is just a whole heap of VR missions

Yeah Im quite pedantic when it comes to games like that but thats nothing compared to the hours I've clocked up on Final Fantasy 12

I've just completed Extreme boss for the 2nd time,(1st time 64hrs)I have all but one emblem, but I now have the bandana,and stealth suit adapter thingy 6hrs 48mins. Im glad i spent 147 + just under 70Hrs playing the game it's prepared me for getting better times and knowing Im not missing anything out.

In the words of Randy Savage. . . Ooooh Yeeeah! The Wyrm God got me a little over 6hrs then my GF asked me where the small crack on the TV screen came from, i just told her the TV's getting old and she believed me till she saw the controller moments later. . . .

Give it a go my friend you wont be disappointed with MGS4 and if love to read you can download the MGS database from PSN Store (Free) and it links up the entire Metal Gear series from its humble beginings on the NES to its current position.
