Yeah. The great thing about this game, is you still want to play it again as soon as you've beaten it. I beat it last night and can't WAIT to play it again!
It's truly amazing, and it's... better than I could have imagined.
Enjoy.
I know it's so fun. I'm not using any guides or outside informations and some of the throughways are hard to find. I'm doing more killing, and hiding bodies than sneaking, but the one source that actually did mention something to me about it said was there is a lot of sneaking. And then I stoped him. I was like SHUT UP!
You get a really sweet gun, you'd recognize it, I think.
Either way, just knowing that you did that would be reward enough!
I'm like 18 hours playtime right now, and I've killed hundreds of dudes. I might have to play it a few times before I try for that accomplishment. I do like that are different paths, and strategies available in the game though. Makes for great re-playability.
Can we get this thread back on topic and change it's title to when the hell will Apple put BR-drives in their computers!?
I have about 2TB of HD movie footage compressed down to fit onto a DVD, all edited on iMovieHD...Hear that Apple...HD! Why release HD editing software and then not provide a means to get it onto a consumer disc???
Actually MGS4 is vaguely Apple related as Snake has a very cool iPod.

Awesome! And yeah, I'm on my second playthrough, with ideas for my fourth and fifth! I even have no desire to skip the cutscenes even though I've seen them. So awesome.

And the fact that Otacon uses an iMac and a MacBook Pro.
"snakily possible" I'm sure, but no human could do that.
please dont make me cry by posting stuff like that
I agree. I don't think you can complete the game in under 5 hours. Not without killing anyone. Who could resist not killing those monster babe bosses. They go down! No pun intended. \
Which means we have gotten to the stage where the US is catching up to the rest of the world.
I fully realise this is one month, but then it was "only" one month when this started happening in other parts of the world as well, but now its just a fact, the PS3 is outselling the 360 every month. its only a matter of time before the install base matches and then exceeds.

does it mean that Walter? matter of time? at this rate you're looking at 15+ years. edging out the 360 for i believe the 3rd month in its entire existence when you're biggest title is coming out isn't exactly something to glamour about. Whats going to happen during winter (where 75% of the years sales occur) when the 360's heavy hitters start to arrive? we'll see the difference in numbers then wont we.
i'm sure the ps3 will have done well this month as well, considering the insane bundle they came up with packing MGS4 and the dual shock into one package. I wonder if they did that to please konomi and assure a decent sales figure for MGS4 cuz you damn well know if the figures weren't up to snuff a port would be quickly rushed to the 360.... considering software rates are crushing on the xbox.
For what it's worth, PS3 hardware sales have outsold 360 hardware sales in Europe.
Despite launching over a year after the Xbox 360 did in Europe, PS3 sales stand at 5,450,869 while Xbox 360 sales in Europe stand at 5,415,053 units in Europe.

there isn't much unification when it comes to european numbers so all of it is speculation. though, i'm sure it's not very far off the mark. why all this chitter chatter about releasing first? didn't the ps2 release before the xbox? you're just using basic "spin".
how about my spin: the european market has always been playstations number 1 market and considering that don't you think those numbers are a bit disappointing? the 360 kills it in the UK and NA. PS3 barely edges it out in europe and smokes it in japan.
PS3 software rates are miniscule compared to the 360. what does this mean? the ps3 is the only viable bluray player at the moment.

If I have a year head start but you catch up it means that either
a) I suck hard
b) You're better
c) Both
The rate is what? 2-1 for Europe?
In the US for 2008 the PS3 beat the XBox in Jan, Feb and May and tied in March and April. June will likely see the PS3 win again due to MGS. That's a trend and not a happy one for the XBox. On the other hand parity suits MS just fine this generation given everyone expected a blowout.
As far as software attach rates while the XBox beat the PS3 in total volume on GTA4 I believe that the attach rate for the PS3 was 6% higher. And sure...BluRay helps. If I get a PS3 it will be because of two reasons:
1) I have Mass Effect on the PC
2) Blu-Ray
Okay 2.5 reasons: Not too keen on the RROD and the build quality on the PS3 is awesome.
"That doesn't matter, the software rates for the PS3 are terrible.
And I see something missing from your list of reasons? Games. There aren't any good games out for the PS3, it's only a decent Blu-ray player, nothing more."
"That doesn't matter, the software rates for the PS3 are terrible.
And I see something missing from your list of reasons? Games. There aren't any good games out for the PS3, it's only a decent Blu-ray player, nothing more."
But that's the point of my argument. as a gaming machine the ps3 is mediocre. i'm not arguing that it isn't a decent bluray player am i? thats because sony refuses to allow any other manufacturer to release a cheaper player.
what vinea doesn't understand is that sony is barely edging out the 360 during the slowest months of the year. what's going to happen during the big months? we'll see wont we. again, his argument is "well if 360 got a head start and the ps3 is catching up it means the 360 sucks" even though if you do the math at the rate the ps3 is edging the 360 (not counting the big months) it would take sony something like 20 years to surpass the 360. lol
so, how does that translate to the 360 sucking? it doesn't. all it says is sony got a slight (very slight) edge when HD-DVD dropped out, and another edge when their biggest title to date (a solid 2.5 years into the life span of the console) was finally released.
but we'll go round and round wont we? lets keep bringing up RROD that doesn't even effect the new consoles....
What are you talking about? Who said anything about RROD?
And it still affects new consoles, obviously just not as much. That or the people I've talked to lied.
I still think built in wifi should be included in the 360.
And what's this about Sony not allowing manufacturers to release cheaper Blu-ray players? Bull. First off, there already ARE cheaper Blu-ray players available.
Secondly, onlooker, have you seen anything about LBP?

I was pleased, I was able to get through the first playthrough with out killing anyone.
Get this though, to get the highest emblem you have to
Get 0 kills
0 continues
use 0 rations or noodles or things like that
0 uses of octocamo
0 alert phases
And complete the game in under FIVE HOURS.
Haha yeah.

You can actually do that? What do you get for doing it?

The defect rate among Falcon models is reported to still be around 10%.
