Metal Gear Solid 4 : Guns of the Patriots

[Venetia]

I don't think they count as kills because they're unmanned, and you sort of HAVE to kill them in Act 4. You can't tranq them.

Man. I NEED MONEY. I'm not shelling out the cash for a PS3 just for one game though - what me and a friend are going to do is rent it for someone elses PS3 and get through it all in one sitting. We hope. =3. It may take a long long time but goddammit I want to find out who the patriots are D=<.

 

[Skyla Doragono]

I'm curious, though, how would you get through the end of act 2 without any kills? Do the Gekkos not count as kills?

No, Gekkos and the other variant (dwarf gekkos I think they're called?) don't count as kills.

I haven't played it (no PS3), but I've read most of the script, because my curiosity was killing me.  Poor Snake.  :<

 

[Venetia]

Snake = manliest game character ever, besides perhaps after Duke Nukem. I mean his last fucking name is "NUKE'EM"

 

[American Hero]

Would anyone else like to have a game focasing on Liquid's past? I would love to play as Liquid.

You know, I was also thinking about how cool it would be if Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 were remade using the Metal Gear Solid engine.

By the way, I beat this game the other day, and I just wanted to mention that there is something profoundly special about this game, and this series. I absolutely have to go back and play the others (working on the original Metal Gear right now, in fact)

Also gonna try for a no alert/no kills playthrough on hard :D

 

[Venetia]

I'm just waiting for someone to get the Big Boss achievement thing ...

- Beat the game in under 5 hours.
- Never get an alert (caution is ok).
- Never kill anyone but unmanneds.
- Never take ANY damage.

I can't beat it in under 13 hours. I can't. I just can't. And that's WITH killing people and taking damage. I don't get too many alerts though.

@_@

 

[arcthemonkey]

Yeah, my first run was 19 hours.

I think I have the trick though - One of the major reason I'm working on a no-kills/no-alerts run is because of the reward you get for no alerts - complete invisibility!

I think that would make an under 5 hours run a bit easier.

So far, the hardest parts of my no-alert run have been during the FROG ambush in act 1, and the fight with laughing Octopus (hiding under the bed solved it!) Haven't made it much further than that.

I just really wish there was a way to load without quitting to the title screen.

 

[Skyla Doragono]

I actually have only really tried to play these games once; and that was Twin Snakes on the GameCube.  btw, GameCube controller sucks for these; even my ex couldn't get it right.  Now that I think about it, I still have the comic book for the first Metal Gear Solid... hmm...

Anyway, I've watched all but the two Metal Gear games, and I just utterly love the story.  It's just so twisted and convulted that you can't help but sit back and go, "...whoa. o_o;;"

 

[Venetia]

there's an invisibility thing? Hell yeah that would make the 5 hours or less thing easier. Still would be hard not to get hurt though; random stray bullets during the first two acts are hard to avoid sometimes.

Also I wonder if the Metal Gear fights count for not getting hurt?? Because that's like, impossible. The part where you have to explode all the Gekkos would be ridiculously difficult as well.

 

[arcthemonkey]

Oh, Venetia, I don't think it's without getting hurt - it's without recovery items.

Edit: Oh crap, I also just read: "No Stealth Suit" for the Big Boss emblem.
So that throws the whole invisibility helping you thing right out the window.
So, yeah, you pretty much have to have all the enemy patrols memorized.

 

[JD_Slasha]

Fuuuuuck. I think I'm content with my "frog" emblem.

ooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Okay yeah that's less RIDICULOUS.
I also sort of forgot how it's 100% impossible not to lose health at endgame :P

Fuuuuuck. I think I'm content with my "frog" emblem.

Oh that reminds me, what emblems did you guys get?

I got (in 2 playthroughs):

Frog, Scorpion, Inchworm, Ant, Hound, Pig (lol), Scarab, and Tortoise (I actually let Snake just sit in the Drum for over an hour while I ate something, lol). My first playthrough I only got Frog, Scorpion, & Inchworm.

Here's a breakdown of the emblems in case you were wondering:

With all the crouching/wall hugging, I thought for sure I'd get atleast Lobster and Gecko :/

The big mama act was sweet as hell the only thing i loved before that is that you can start using faces :P i was otacon:P

 

[Venetia]

I usually played with the facecamo but every now and again I'd put on Young Snake w/ Bandana (m-memories ;-

I love the MGS1Snake camo hehehehhe

 

[JD_Slasha]

Yeah I played the entire game with the young snake w/camo face. I thought it looked so much better.
