MGS4 THREAD OF PEE PEE, POO POO and Anti-MGS Troll TEARS (!!EXPECT SPOILERS!!)

[Mupepe]

...

We're getting an artbook instead of the figure, apparently.

that's fucking horrible

[muckhole]

that's fucking horrible

As a man, I feel I would have a hard time explaining to folks why I have a plastic statue of a senior citizen with a mullet wearing a body-stocking unitard, so no disappointment here.

[Positive Touch]

where do you live?  and what section of the paper would even include something like that?

[Mr. Gundam]

that's fucking horrible

Yeah, I feel the same. I have no use for the figure.

[Kyle]

I saw an article on how Konami didn't want reviewers to mention the install or cutscenes in my local paper today.

I said huh?

that's old, I read it in Joystiq via MTV Blog.
also, EGM refused to review MGS4 because of that.

I read their review/preview. They're going to review it in full next month.

It would go in my closet like the rest of my shit like that, but it would still be awesome to have.  I'd probably look through the art book like .5 times

Oh, the artbook will get totally ignored, too. It just doesn't take up as much space.

I've got the Super Robot Taisen Alpha 2 LE from Japan, it came with four figures of awesome robots. I've never taken them out of the box, because I have no desire to display them around the house. 

[Mupepe]

Yeah, I'd be embarassed to display it anywhere.  But it would be something to nerd out with my friends for a few minutes other than an artbook which even they don't give a shit about.  Plus, I feel like I'm getting more for my money with a figure for some reason

The soundtrack and bonus Blu-ray disc are good enough for me. And they don't take up any space outside of the box!

[Mupepe]

I want to whine!

[Mr. Gundam]

I want to whine!

 

[WrikaWrek]

I have no use for the figure either. I'll either leave it on the box, or....give it to some kid, maybe my cousin.

I'm paying for the extra disc and soundtrack.

[Mupepe]

why not give it to me?

[WrikaWrek]

why not give it to me?

Because i'm not that nice of a guy.

[Mupepe]

i'll pick it up from your house and J you O

[WrikaWrek]

Sooo... Famitsu's review of MGS4 should be in this week's issue...

I'm sure others will laugh at me for this, but I really look forward to Groo, Lyte and Duckroll delivering the weekly Famitsu news on Tuesday evenings.

[The Sceneman]

 I preodered a copy, and I dont even own a PS3!

Im borrowing a PS3 and lending them the game once Im done as payment for the borrow. I'll want the game back so I can look at it

That figure comes with the package? $85 justified.

The figure can be purchased for $15 in stores.

[Draft]

I have only two video game toys, which both shame me greatly as physical manifestations of my gaming faggotness.

One is the Iron Maiden/Regenerator from RE4. I bought it from a Spencers last year because it was in the bargain bin.

The other a clear Grey Fox/Ninja from MGS1. It's dusty as hell and the sword's gotten kind of warped, but I've had it for like 8 years, and I will cherish it forever.

[Mr. Gundam]

The majority of my anime/gaming toys are in my office at work (I work at an elementary school, the kids think they're great). The only things I have here at home are all in the den: Perfect Grade Zeta Gundam model, a Grey Fox/Ninja Kubrick (as seen in my avatar), a stuffed Dragon Quest Slime, and a stuffed Totoro.

[BlueTsunami]

[duckman2000]

I don't think it counts as a gaming "toy", but I have this awesome, 20" ceramic Cheshire Cat from Alice.

[Bloodwake]

holy shit that action figure comes with it yes yes yes

game of the year? probably.

[Trent Dole]

Sooo... Famitsu's review of MGS4 should be in this week's issue...

According to Kotaco they gave it a perfect score of 40.

Did you rike Metal Gear Solid Cuatro

[duckman2000]

That's really cringe worthy, in every way from content to delivery and timing. Nothing more embarrassing than a nerd trying to be funny.

[Crushed]

well fuck i just read some of the spoilers leaked with the strategy guide


goddamn it kojima this spiral into fanservice and "tying things together" by putting established characters into different scenarios for no reason started in mgs3, went over the top in mpo, and it's way too stupid here

fuck it, not every goddamn character has to have been involved with every little thing

[Kyle]

is this for real ?

Oh great, i'm one step away from becoming an internet celeb -_-

BTW, finished act 2, if the game continues to be this fucking awesome, I might just faint from all the blood going to my penis.

Also, I was having trouble, because I was using one hand, and I don't normally do that so yeah.

Also to confirm, there is loading before each act, loading being about 3 mins each, lets call it a coffee/tea break.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=11469387&postcount=13

god fuck no, i want to buy this game before i sell my PS3. this is worse than swapping discs on 360. 

[Positive Touch]

crushed nooo ;_;

i'm getting worried that this game will be more MGS2 and less MGS3

[BlueTsunami]

I think if the acts are split up correctly, the loading times between each act won't be too bad. Sounds as though its really set up like an interactive movie . Its all good though MGS4

The moment I heard about the installation between acts, the first thing I thought of was it had been designed for a possible (5 disc) 360 release. 

Oops, I meant to add  if it underperformed.

[recursivelyenumerable]

It's funny people are worried about 3-minute installs every x hours, because I have my computer set up to enforce a 3-minute break every hour, otherwise my eyes, wrists and brain start getting fucked up after a while.

[FancyFeast]

There will be spoilers.

Poor Evilore, he was asking for it.

[duckman2000]

Anyone who deliberately and actively seeks to spoil the gaming experiences of others is a genuine scumbag who desperately needs to distance him/herself from the whole console wars shit because it's clearly starting to rot too deep. I don't give a fuck what game it is, it's just a prick thing to do.

That said, if it matters that much, these people should probably just stay the hell away from the internet, and certainly dedicated MGS4 threads, for the next few weeks.

maybe around 3/4ths in. When they start talking about MGS3

i am looking forward to this shitstorm

[Crushed]

All I'm gonna say is this: Kojima's going to be walking a very fine line here.

If he pulls this off, it will be great. If it's not done correctly, it'll seem utterly distinguished mentally-challenged and will only seem "good" to dumbasses like Shane Bettenhausen.

[demi]

Just read the synopsis

Shit game

[Crushed]

you hate every game

[Trent Dole]

So like, is there anything worth giving a shit about out next week?

[FatalT]

I was pretty excited for MGS4 but after reading the synopsis, my excitement has been killed.

[Narag]

Could someone point the way to this synopsis?

[Crushed]

okay, just saw a photobucket full of pics of the whole game

welp, mgs now sucks



holy fucking shit kojima, you did the exact opposite thing you should have done


fuck this game


fuck it and fuck kojima


fuck it forever




holy shit


you guys wanna know


i'll post the two worst ones in huge ol' spoiler tags, no chance of anyone who doesn't want to know can see them

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Raiden's head gets sewn back onto his normal body.


FUCK WHAT

[close]

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Big Boss has been kept in a coma, and at the end of the game he wakes up and he and Snake talk in that cemetery right when Snake is about to shoot himself.

[close]

....i am just in awe at how royally kojima has just disregarded the plots of every other metal gear, and fucked over the entire significance of the main themes in mgs1 and mgs2


just wow



i am keeping this avatar as mourning for the series




rip mgs november 2001

[Narag]

spoiler (click to show/hide)

hahaha Jesus christ. People were expecting the second but fuck that. The series hit its dramatic highpoint with 3 and Solid was always an iffy character.

[close]

I'd like the full synopsis too, Crushed.

[Crushed]

Give me the full synopsis.
No way I'm gonna play it anyway. I just want lulz at this point.

I don't have the whole synopsis.


Here's the Photobucket.

[TakingBackSunday]

Crushed...honestly?

Jesus man, take a fucking chill.  MGS games are always stupid story wise, why is this any different?  It'll still be cool.

[Crushed]

MGS games are always stupid story wise, why is this any different?

There is a difference between "Tom Clancy/comic book" style melodrama and "jumping the shark, disregarding of everything that made the past games good."

Crushed, please tell me you're just kidding.  About everything.   

[Crushed]

Crushed, please tell me you're just kidding.  About everything.   

Nope. All real.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ocelot, despite being a horrible person who enjoys torture and kills innocent people for fun, is actually a hero because he shuts down the SOP system and makes it impossible for the world to fight... at least until SOP gets removed and everyone goes back to killing each other.

SO SNAKE WAS THE VILLAIN THE WHOLE TIMES!?!??@?!?!??!/1/1/1//1/1/

[FatalT]

Crushed, please tell me you're just kidding.  About everything.   

I wish it was all a joke. I wish these were fake spoilers, but nope. Real deal. Ugh.

[TakingBackSunday]

I still say this is just par for the course for the Metal Gear series.  It's ALWAYS been convoluted and iffy, but its still interesting and has carried the series together very well.

It's going to be an awesome game.
