Metal Gear Solid

[megadave]

Going to pick it up tomorrow, anyone got it already? Whats it like?

 

[Ch3tan]

The box is nice. Haven't got it open yet though, and won't till well into next week

 

[Whipped]

Played for about 3 hours last night. I'm afraid it's going to be a love it or hate it for most people. Personally I'm loving it

Word of warning, get ready to play the game like you are watching a movie. Some pretty long cutscenes in there.

 

[Deacan]

I've just done the first boss, the game is awesome, the combat is so much better now.

The game has evolved from just a steath game, so a mix of everything, so you can play any way you want, want to be a ghost or John rambo, either way is acceptable.

I just love the fact you can use the wars going on around you to your advantage, the game also sounds insane on surround sound.

 

[ST^]

Just finished my replay of MGS2 (forgot how fucking awesome that was!)...... installing now

 

[ST^]

Fucking hell. I recently played all 3 previous MGS games so I can honestly say this plays SO much better than the others. Getting into firefights is no longer a punishment for getting spotted, but just another way of getting through a section. The shooting is so much better but so is the sneaking. Octocamo is a great evolution of MGS3's camo system.

I've got so many good things to say about it and I'm only just under 3 hours in. The action is non stop and the cut scenes are better than ever. MGS2 was my previous 'best game of all time' but I can easily see MGS4 taking that crown.

 

[Whipped]

Also, I love the fact that converstions with Octocan are animated now. No more reading hundreds of pages of text

 

[Deacan]

All I can say is holy s**t at the ending, awesome game.

Well time to whoop some ass online!

 

[Deebs]

Installing now..... First ever MGS outing for me.

Glad I upgraded my hard drive to a 320gb one (for around 70 squids).

 

[Whipped]

Well, it took me to the end of Act Two, but I finally remembered how to play a metal gear game and enjoy it. Just had to tear myself away after 6 hours of play, With a break for Doctor Who of course

Installing now..... First ever MGS outing for me.

Unfortunately, the story and characters will be completely lost on you :/ I replayed the series recently just to make sure I still remembered the story.

 

[Whipped]

As part of the Game pre-order I got a 30 minute DVD that goes through the back story of all the previous games to get you all caught up for the new one. Invaluabe.

 

[Yaka]

i never got that frigging dvd, i preordered mgs4 ages ago from a few sites.

 

[ST^]

I never got the DVD either. Whipped, was it an in-store preorder or online?

 

[Yaka]

well ive now got one le set from play.com and 4 others from hmv,gameplay and zavvi.
miffed as i missed out on the one with mgs3 as well

 

[Whipped]

I never got the DVD either. Whipped, was it an in-store preorder or online?

I was an online order from Game. Got a letter in the post and had to take it into the store to get my DVD.

It might be available online somewhere.

 

[Ch3tan]

As the previous MGS bored me shitless I will have to aqquire that DVD before I play.

 

[Whipped]

Seeing as how the DVD was given away free, I see nothing wrong with linking to a torrent for it.

There is a full DVD Rip (4GB) here Metal Gear Solid 4 Preorder Bonus DVD : Other > Other - Mininova

I may cap the 30 mins to Avi and upload a torrent as well.

 

[Ch3tan]

Ta, I will start downloading the 4gig one, but a smaller avi of just the 30 mins would be nice

 

[Ch3tan]

Maybe I won't bother with the 4 gig download. It will take two weeks with 3 seeds.

obviosly not a true mgs fan, sell me it

 

[Whipped]

Ok, first ever torrent, hope it works.

Metal Gear Pre-Order DVD avi : Other > Other - Mininova

Ripped DVD to Xvid with MP3 sound. File comes in at 140 MB and my upload speed is 26 k/sec

 

[Whipped]

Ok, I'll be seeding all day now if anyone wants to grab this.

 

[Ch3tan]

Nice one, I can't rep you again, but many thanks

 

[Ch3tan]

It's going at about 30kb/s, so I should have it within 2 hours, and I will also be seeding all day.

 

[Stimpy]

I've not bothered buying this yet as I never really got into the previous MGS games so thought I'd be totally lost on the plot, I'll grab this video and hopefully it will convince me to pick up 4 if I have some kind of clue about what is actually happening

Seeding also.

 

[Ch3tan]

Well I've uploaded it 2.5 times now, so going to stop for now. I might leave it on overnight if anyone needs it.

 

[Stimpy]

Heres something a bit mad, I just watched that video and realised I played and finished MGS2 but had no memory of doing so

 

[Yaka]

word of advice on anyone who got a freebie cvg mgs mag with theres, dont read it, not only does it reviews the game it disshes major stroyline spoilers

 

[megadave]

Any chance someone could slap the pre-order dvd on rapidshare or something? or seed it

edit: currently on youtube - YouTube - Metal Gear Saga vol. 2 - (Solid Snake Prologue) (assuming this is the same thing)
