Not much of a big spoiler DS but heh...

You get to go back to Shadow Moses.. . .. . .

Yeah, I already know, and it's going to be cool I hope.

Also, one thing I am really wondering (act 3 spoiler):

Big Boss' body is still alive and Liquid needs his living body so why in the hell are they NOT KILLING HIM and ending Big Boss' misery? It's not like they are doing him a favor by keeping him alive, and Big Mama is opposed to Zero's ideology too. That just doesn't make any sense to me. And by the way, does anyone else think Big Mama was such a ridiculously stupid thing to include? BIG MAMA.

Not really.

She was used as the genetic holder of the L.E.T. project, so...

Big Boss
Big Mama (cause she's technically their mom)

Holy shit, so there's Big Mama? I personally decide not to follow any news of this game because I want to save my money for some game engine and programming books but handsome_lamb you just make me want to spend all my money for PS3.

In about how much time will I be able to watch the entire ~~movie~~ game on Youtube?
With university coming up I can't afford a PS3 but I'm still kinda curious on how this MGS saga is ending.

There's already a lot of the scenes in there, no codec calls or anything though so I don't know, maybe in a few weeks I'd guess.

It's a bit funny how someone mentions something and then Snake goes "The Patriots??" and I have no clue what the fuck is going on and then there's this la li lu le lo shit or whatever and FUCK YOU MGS.

To clear this up for you, The Patriots control the flow of information (still) which was the whole point by MGS2. Because they're a secret organization, NO ONE knows they exist except for a select few. Raiden, Snake, Otacon, Ocelot etc. can say their name but whenever it's mentioned to someone outside the inner circle it immediately becomes La Li Lu Le Lo.

Imagine speaking a foreign language to someone. You know what you're saying but they have no idea and it comes out as gibberish instead. Whenever someone mentions the patriots, it literally becomes gibberish. It was kind of a "Holy crap, that's a really well executed thing" in MGS2 and I smiled a bit when it when Meryl's like "WTF R U TALKING 'BOUT SNAKE?"

Yeah, the whole thing about The Patriots becomes obviously very clear during MGS4 but I didn't know that was the thing behind La Li Lu Le Lo. That's pretty cool.

Also, I'm in act 4 now, this game is pretty short and like 90% cutscenes.

EDIT:

4.6 total.

yes 1.2 gigs per act roughly.

Uh, I just beat act 4 and there's act 5 so this can't be true. D:

I am so tempted to look at everyone's spoiler markers but I really don't want to. Am only on Act 2, the battle against Laughing Octopus was disturbing as hell! But haven't finished Act 2 yet have just seen Raiden fuck up a load of Gekkos like in the trailer.

I think this is by far the best one although there isn't all that much stealth. I tend to use FPS mode a lot though as it's more accurate. Can anyone tell me if you see any more of those live-action advertisements like at the beginning for Praying Mantis and all that?

Alot of places gave it a 10. This is Japan's take on GTA4's score, I guess.

Normally I don't think it's a big deal when a game gets a 10, but this is only Gamespot's 5th ten so I think that's pretty noteworthy.

yeah but to be honest, i think with games like this and gta or whatever else, they're more inclined to give them tens than if it were just some random game they reviewed. it seems like the games that get tens are usually pretty much only these types.

If the game didn't get a 10 then the Gamespot forums would explode with spam and every member would probably threaten to kill the entire staff like at Gametrailers.

So I'm pretty interested in how they wrapped all the things up and since I will never (in the next 5 years) have a ps3 nor this game I've been checking it out on various sites like youtube and such.

Judging entirely by the clips I've watched I think the ending was really dumb. WARNING 1 KILOMETER OF SPOILARS

Spoilares (Click to reveal)

The ending with Big Boss was really stupid, like it had some potential to be satisfying but... no. At first I'm all like oh man Snake and Big Boss encounter, what will happen?!?!?!!! But after like 5 minutes all the possibilities and interaction between the father and son or the original and the clone are thrown into the trashcan and it was just wow, how long does he plan on dying? Like at the point where BB starts to get weak... ugh...

UUuughh aaAaarrgh.... Snake.....
*falls on a gravestone*
the patriots bla bla bla

10 minutes later its

*gets up*
B-boss..... you had an ideology.... WOooaaaarrgghh
*stumbles on a gravestone*

Snake... from 0 it goes to 1 and then it goes to 100 and so on and WOooooaaaaarrggh
*falls on his ass*

10 minutes later

*gets up with the aid of Snake*
B-Boss....
*does the military salute*
WooooooAAaa Ugaahahhaaa
*falls on the ground

And it just goes on... and on... and on... Snake says like maybe 2 sentences during the whole thing. It's like some sorta bad joke and its all wrapped in some philosophical shit and stuff like LIVE YOUR LIFE yet it seems as if Big Boss is talking to himself and its like they've just met for the first time.

Besides that though I really haven't seen anything overly stupid, it seems to have a lot of fanservice though and a million references to the previous titles.

this game is ridiculous as hell. i have no idea how people think the story in this is any good at all, unless you consider the fact it wraps up a lot of loose ends (haven't finished, but a lot of stuff so far is revealed). that isn't really a reason to say good story though, because so far everything is just as ridiculous as before. the dialog is really bad in a lot of parts, and so many of the cinemas are incredibly pointless. the only thing this game has going for it in terms of story is high production values because the cinemas (while completely retarded most of the time) and voice acting is well done. the game is good, but good lord the story is just terrible.

p.s. WAR ECONOMY.
