Metal Gear Solid 3 comes out in two days here in America and no one has even created a topic for it. Anyone else hyped up about it?
-
:mad: Very angry we PAL gamers have to wait until March 05 again to play the damn game !
-
I won\'t be getting it until Christmas...so yeah...
-
Yeah...well...here ya go...
Comes out November 17th...can\'t wait!!
*Discuss*
-
I can\'t wait. It seems like the only games I truly enjoy are the MGS games.
-
There...I made you a nifty MGS3 thread...*look for it*
-
Lol. Your poll questions are either love or loathe options. Heh, there\'s some truth in that though ;)
Currently I gotta watch out not to be spoilt at the IGN MGS board, becuz I\'m a regular there. Amongst the MGS fans I\'m one of the few who cares about the plot but less about the \'soap opera\' plottwists. Just the storymessage itself and the gameplay. Sure, the character plottwists drive the story partially, but I\'m not in it for just that.
The Snake Eater engine, by looks of the gameplay footage seems very smooth. Props to Konami for that.
I kinda whish though, MGS3 had been made from scratch for more powerfull hardware than PS2. Of course, Konami spent millions into specializing for PS2 coding ; it\'s understandable.
Although I would love to see the game had been made from scratch for high end PC hardware ; SM3.0, geometry instancing, normal mapping and Ultra Shadow 2 tech :facelick:
Of course ; I despise Konami for the March 05 PAL release. C\'mon, we don\'t need the damn German, French and Italian subtitles ! Gimme the game already !
-
Yeah...I finally found a long E3 trailer of MGS3...and it looks to have some of the best graphics on PS2. I\'ve always loved the storyline of the games...mostly the 1st one...the 2nd was rather cheesy. I think the messages at the end of the game are what\'s really cool. But um yeah. *done sounding lame*
-
I thought you were gonna mention Ace Combat 5.
-
Metal Gear what???
-
Too busy with GTA ;)

-

HL2...Metroid prime 2...Paper Mario 2...etc..etc..etc..

Avg Ratio: 95%
and thats a bad thing me=:confused:
mind you not as good as ....
Avg Ratio: 97% Half-Life 2 - PC :D.

^^^^
Well, it\'s only 1 review...and 95% is damn good...But again...only 1 review...won\'t know until more people review it :)
And I\'m feeling left out on the whole HL2 thing...:(
-
after mgs2.... one word comes to mind for the 3rd one....
boner!
-
Does anyone know what "online features" this game will have? Clan wars, battles, 1on1\'s? anything, cause i have not hear a peep about the online.
Thanks

Nov. 17? Game Stop said the 18th. Better get in there tomorrow.
-
pffft, MGS has lost my interest. It just becoming to arcadey for my likes.
Now SC3.. thats where it is.
-
^^^^^
Game Stop always screws with dates. Maybe they\'re doing that to have the game for themselves first...

Thanks :) It\'s not any particular character really. It\'s just an artwork piece from Craig Mullins, who\'s one of my favorite artists. He\'s pretty damn good. He did artwork for movies like FF: The Spirits Within (which sucked, but the visuals are nice). He also did work for Return To Castle Wolfenstein. Meh...you can check his work out here: http://www.goodbrush.com

MGS3 no longer has the radar anymore..... makes a huge difference, especially in the new outdoor maps and with imrpoved enemy AI.
There are stuff like Sonar and to partially replace radar functions but it\'s very tied to short battery life. From impressions I read MGS3 takes a lot more patience and tactical insight than MGS2.
It\'s no SC3.. but imo it shouldn\'t be. Now, I just hope for pc only players , Konami\'ll make the pc version a good one.

GTA3:San Andreas....
So another person that thinks its a spin off and not a true sequel.
me to LIC....
"get it RIGHT UP YOU!!!!!!!!!!"
-
Until Rock Star sez GTA 4....it\'s still GTA3, ain\'t it?
Edit : wait, ooseven, are you saying it\'s not a sequel or not a new version? Sequel would mean continuation of a story, which San Andreas is not.
-
GTA series was never a continuation of a story of a certain crook. Each one has a new character.

So did Halo 2 :( They should wait a few weeks before releasing it IMO.

MGS3 reviews :
IGN 9.7 _ fans were angry at IGN\'s editor Ivan....
Gamespot 8.7 _ Kasavin made a good review. Score could be 0.2 or 0.3 higher if you read the positive tone of it.
Gamespy _ 4,5 out of 5 Turner made the best review imo. The crits he states he arguments them well.
If MGS3 were here in PAL land right now, I\'d get it instantly.
:bounce:

damn gamespot gave it a 8.7? that\'s kinda low isn\'t it?
-
Some of my favorite games didn\'t get spectacular scores...so whatever your personal opinion is...that\'s all that matters. 8.7 is almost a 9. I\'d say that\'s a pretty damn decent game. I\'m really looking forward to finally getting my hands on this game :D

oh no doubt...i\'m still gonna cop this one..i just thought for a metal gear game that the score was kinda low...and it seems we get to play as snake all the way through in this one...:)
-
and it seems we get to play as snake all the way through in this one
Good...no more naked Raiden...worst/most horrifying moment in gaming history *shrugs*
-
Only another hour and 20 minutes before I get out of school and head to the mall to pick it up myself. Unfortunately, I have to work tonight. I\'m gonna be nuts :(
-
I don\'t see the problem with Raiden.. He was a completely necessary addition to MGS2..
-
^^^^^
I just didn\'t like the fact that Snake wasn\'t playable through most of it. The naked thing was a little...disturbing. It was funny as hell though...especially the soda can and straw thing...I was like...WTF??
-
I bought Snake Eater two nights ago but I\'m still trying to finish Ace Combat 4. I noticed that MGS has an online thingy? What fer?

I think to download camoflage.
I got it yesterday and I like it. This has to be Big Boss. I really am impressed. It did take a while to get used to the new controls. I kept dying because I had trouble aiming and stuff (used to the laser pointer). I\'m getting the hang of it now.
-
The only thing that really annoys me is the semi-overhead view. It\'s annoying when I get seen because i cant see the guy standing 10 feet infront of me with out going into 1st person view.

Ditto. The camera angles suck ass. I like it better in MGS2 where you could actually see them. I miss the radar. I keep getting caught. In every section, I get spotted.

same here...how do you aim? i\'m not talking in 1st person view, i mean 3rd person view..i can\'t seem to get an accurate aim at all unless i\'m in 1st person view...
-

You can move the camera around and lock it into place with the R3 button.
And you need to be more stealthy in the game ;) That\'s what it\'s all about...you crazy...getting-caught-person...er...never mind :confused:
-
I really need to get this. I got a $50 gift card for EB and i was going to use that but im trying to figure out what to buy. There are a few things on my list: Street Fighter Anniversary Collection, Guilty Gear Isuka and Snake Eater just to name a few.
Grrrrr....

I know about that, but it would be nice to move the camera behind Snake or something.
-
Dude, the point of the game is to not get caught. If you keep getting caught, the only reason you should be annoyed is because you\'re inept.

Heh, no shit? Its hard to play if a tree from overhead is blocking more than half the screen ;)
-
Just beat the game, it has a great ending IMO. I absolutely loved this games, besides the camera issues. Some of the boss battles could have been a little harder, but it was still fun. I loved the story. I just got a question, is Big Boss the person on the radion in MGS1?

[sp]The Fury was freaking easy. I would just put on the thermal goggles and lay down a spray of bullets. Now, The Sorrow was hard. I got to the end and didn\'t realize that I had to use the revival pill. I continued. I killed a lot of guys so it took me a while to get through it.[/sp]
-
Me too, I didn\'t know what to do until I used me radio and the guy told me what to do. I thought I had to do something witht he revival pill, but I couldn\'t figure out what.
-
[sp]I thought Volgin was pretty hard. Wasn\'t until I lost to him that I figured out what to do. The stuff on the bike I thought was really freaking fun. Now I\'m in the woods and I keep getting spotted. Any hints?[/sp]
-
glad i got this in a demo in the mail before i got it. I didnt like the past ones, but i liked splinter cell so i thought my interests in games changed. But the game is boring to me. Cutscenes are nice but when they get like 10 minutes long it gets old. And the radio calls take forever because theres so much dialogue. While that may be the reason that people buy it, because of the story line, i cant sit through all of it.
Plus i cant stand the camera.

Ever try hitting X for the cutscenese and triangle for the radio? Works wonders ;)
I just beat it. Amazing. The ending was amazing.
[sp]The Boss battle was difficult. I threw on some lighter camo and sniped her out. I lost the first time but kicked her ass the second. I did better on the CQC though the first time. Is there a way to fight her when she grabs hold of you? The end is so intense. So much action. I also suggest if you have surround sound to turn it on.[/sp]
I beat it in just under 20 hours. My code is Shark :)
-
actually, yea smart ass. but then im just playing and not knowing what the storyline is.

Thats where dorks like me come in when we talk about the plot on a message board ;)
-
I beat it at 16:25 with Shark too. Did you hear the phone convo at the end of the credits? If you did, was the guy talking Ocelot? It sort of sounded like him. For the CQC, when she grabed me, I kept hitting circle and sometimes I reversed it. Also, you know how at the ned it had that timeline? When that operation (forget the name) happens, is that MGS1? Or maybe they\'re just leaving room for a sequal :)
-
I dunno. Don\'t remember the timeline. Just remember EVA disappearing, Foxhound beginning and The Les Enfents Terribles project. They have to make the sequel to MGS2 and I think they should remake the NES Metal Gear games.
-
I think they should remake the NES Metal Gear games.
I think I may have to agree with you there...

Exactly. They are so rare for NES, the only way to play them is to download them, illegally. I would like to know what happened in the first two Metal Gears on NES.
-
Uhm..guys,
can\'t you hide those (possibly) story spoilers ? there are alot of PAL ppl like me here on this board who anticipate MGS3 ; we still have to wait another 2 or 3 months :(
-
Yeah...quit with the open spoilers. Use the
[ sp]type spoiler here[ /sp] spoiler tags...minus the spaces inside, obviously...
-
I would say seriously but i think the issue has already been pressed. While the spoilers arent huge, i like knowing almost nothing about the game/movie etc.
Not to be a stiff ass but things are more fun this way.

Well, the storylines are pretty well covered in MGS1/2.. haven\'t played 3, but probably fills you in a bit, too.
Plus you could easily look it up on the \'net.

Official : PAL MGS3 due on March 25th
The PAL extra\'s will include the extra modes which
PAL MGS2 has : Boss duel mode, Theatre mode etc.
Maybe some new ones....
Damn waiting. I\'m not gonna mod my new PStwo slimline though. :mad:
-
i don\'t know how to use spoiler tags so here it goes....SPOILER>>>>>>>>>>>
i just beat that cat they call the fear...i didn\'t know how to beat him at first but then i just happened to use the infrared goggles..and he was cake...i like the game so far..it\'s just the camera...you can\'t see what\'s ahead of you..and it\'s a pain in the ass to keep switching to 1st person view to see in front of you...great game tho...and the storyline is more straightforward this time around..yea you still get some gibberish but to me so far it\'s no-where near whatr mgs2 was in terms of off the wall dialogue (spel)...
-
Man I played the demo tonight I just got in the mail, and it was extremely difficult at first, but I got caught my first time trying to move past the enemies, so I\'ll have to play some more tomorrow and see how it is if I really want it for xmas.
-
It takes a little time to get used to, but I think it would be a great gift for xmas. It is a really good game, IMO it\'s a lot better than the second one.

Those messages freaked me out. It got scary(maybe becauseI am a girl?) I can\'t help it that they scared me :shy:, but I got used to it/SICK of it.
And the 2nd game was also WAY too short.

A few ways. Fake death pill, spill something red, hide under the bed when the guard leaves.

^^^thanks bro...:)

heh heh...yea but you know what?, i escaped from the jail using none of the ways you mentioned..SPOILER..............i used some type of code..if you remember when snake was being tortured and the boss gave him that gun...there was this guy popping in and out from behind her with that code...weird...anyway i used that code to unlock the jail door...

[sp]The Sorrow? Yeah, that guy was weird. He pops in now and then[/sp]

All right someone give me some friggin tips on how to play this game.
I\'ve been at it for 6 or so hours, restarted my game because of the embarassing amount of times I was getting my ass handed to me. The camera angle is worst, and when you are crawling around if you bump into something you all of a sudden stand up in a crouch position and reveal yourself like a prarie dog. I finally get into a little bit of grove and now I am just completely stuck just before the 1st boss battle area Ocelot . (I know its coming becuase I\'ve referenced online help guides)
I can\'t help but feel I\'m missing a out on some move, or ability that will make the game a little more playable
-
^^^naw you\'re not missin\' out on anything...sneaking around in the forest is aggrevating..you have to keep going in and out between 1st person view and over the head view...i think the gameplay is stale now and kojima needs to freshen up the series with the next outing...as always tho the story is superb and you get a sense of accomplishment when you\'re done, but i traded it in soon after i finished it...
-
I went back and started again, and now I\'m just taking out everyone, and doing much better, but its still overly frustrating with the camera angles.
the hour long stroytelling breaks need to stop in these games IMO. I love great stories but it needs to be broken up a lot more, and that James Bondish opening theme song was painful.
-
I found the same difficulties as well he first time I playied.The second time I tried to finish it I was used to it and managed it as well as the previous ones
-
Who the hell revived this thread?
-
The Extended edition of MGS3 will feature a new camera angle.. from behind Sanke.
Form the sounds of things it makes the jungle parts a Joy to play.

that\'ll make the game alot more tolerable. I would love to play this game from a 1st person mode at all times with a completely controllable camera

cool we\'ll have to keep this thread alive till we finish.... Anyone else want to join in ?
-
The camera angles suck ass but I got used to them. Once you figured out where all the guys are, picking them off was easy.
-
That\'s where I was screwing up in the beginnining. I wasn\'t picking anybody off, I was just tryinng to be sneaky.
-
Use the tranquilizer gun and you wont have any trouble.
-
I like sneaking up behind people and giving them the ol\' choke hold.
I haven\'t interoggated anybody yet, that\'s my next goal
-
Well use the tranquilizer to anyone you see.When they sleep start punching them to wake them up.When they do, point your gun at their backs and then go for some choke holding ;)
-
the one good thing about mgs is that when you\'re spotted, you do have the opportunity to wipe out all the bad guys in that area...*meaning that enemies don\'t constantly respawn until you\'re dead* it\'s tough to do, but it\'s achievable...well that s**t was tough for me...
-
When I get spotted I will try and take out the guy who spotted me, but if re-enforcements come I just pack it in and start the area again
