Re: Metal Gear Solid 4 Playthrough Thread*spoilers

Mk. II (Later Mk. III) does not have Nightvision.

 

Re: Metal Gear Solid 4 Playthrough Thread*spoilers

OK, I didn't know you couldn't buy non-lethal ammo on The Boss Extreme. I'm running through Solid Normal now using Stealth Item and collecting all the ammo I can, so I have enough for the whole TBE diff. next time.
Let me tell you one thing... slitting every PMC throat in the game when using Stealt Item is soooo easy, and soooo much fun. An occasional grenade in the middle of a small crowd also makes you feel great /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif That games awesome! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

 

Re: Metal Gear Solid 4 Playthrough Thread*spoilers

Yeah man, I think that's going to be the toughest part for me about Big Boss Extreme ultimate accolade (Not being able to buy non-lethal ammo). I think that's even more intimidating than the time requirement lol.

Anyway, finally beat the game on BBHard this last Friday. I knew the game was going to get better as it went along and I knew the ending was going to be great. But I had no idea HOW great it was going to be. I have never been so pleased with the end of a series (well end for this story arch/Solid Snake). Usually trilogies or series have weak endings, not the case for this. I was wigging out when Big Boss appeared and began explaining everything lol.

I just watched the microwave crawl again on youtube...


yeah...

 

Re: Metal Gear Solid 4 Playthrough Thread*spoilers

^ Haha yeah, had to youtube both splitscreens to fully view em all. Man, both were incredible, but the microwave room was just... as you said "yeah..."

 

Re: Metal Gear Solid 4 Playthrough Thread*spoilers

Yeah, I was literally afraid of Snake dying there!

So far my stats are like this:

1st time: Game finished on BBHard, no kills, no deaths, no alerts, 20h (cutscenes DO count), received Stealth Item, Race Gun, Bandana, Octopus emblem among several others.

2nd time: Failed to finish the game on TBExtreme due to ammo problem and no recovery item usage that is required to get Big Boss Emblem

3rd time: Currently in act 3 of Solid Normal, shooting, killing and slitting throats a lot while using Stealth Item; Collecting and buying all possible non-lethal ammo (pistol, rifle, grenades, grenades for the launcher, shotgun ammo and emotion bullets)

4th time: I plan to beat it on TBExtreme with all the requirements for BBEmblem using all the ammo collected on 3rd try, and skipping all the cutscenes. No item collecting, no dicking around, just straight forward running through the game (gonna be hard, can't use stealth item)

5th time: Kill in thousand of ways, have fun with Big Boss face camo (scares the shit out of PMC soldiers), hunt for all the emblems...

Now, if you want to see some funny things (which some of you may have already seen) try this:

After beating Screaming Mantis, when Psycho Mantis appears, be sure to use Sixaxis controller. Psycho Mantis will be surprised that you've changed your hardware, and he can't read your memory card. Next he'll try to move your pad with the power of his mind (vibration), but he can't do it either, cause Sixaxis doesn't have that option! I laughed my ass off there! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
Has any of you used a Dual Shock controller for that? What
happened?

Point your gun on a female soldier (Frog). When she puts her hands up search her. Press Triangle whenever needed, get your items and see what happens when Snake touches HER PRIVATE PARTS! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif LOL

There are different flashbacks to have during the game. Most of them I think happen in Shadow Moses. If you are hunting the "lethal" emblems that require you to kill/knife-kill/chocke-to-death/etc. ppl. Snake will remember something like "You enjoy the killing" or whatever. He'll throw up afterwards! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
There is also a circle in the grass (like with aliens and shit) near the river when you are tracking Naomi and her kidnappers. There is a funny flashback there.

Notice how Snake looks at asses/tits/crotches when BBs are "losing their skin" when changing forms to human ones. Old pervert! BTW, you just can't have missed all the CAMEL TOES those girls have. Come on! It's right there!

 

Re: Metal Gear Solid 4 Playthrough Thread*spoilers

Part 2 coming soon.

 

Re: Metal Gear Solid 4 Playthrough Thread*spoilers

Nice one Zero. When I tried TBE diff. it took me about the same time when crossing the first act. Yours however is great /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif Keep em coming!
In some moment it's better to switch to the militia costume in 1st or even 2nd act. It can get you through some locations a lot faster /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

But.....Seeing her shed her gear, and getting treated with the fan service /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif priceless </div></div>


Sorry I am so far behind you guys, but I am really loving taking my time with this game. I loved fighting her to, but DAMN did she have a sad childhood story or what???

 

they all do... but i have to be honest.. i didnt like the way they presented the Beauties' stories... i think i would have prefered a flashback or something like that.. maybe the Beauties' having flashbacks right after you beat them? story time?!!??? :X

 

Yeah, friend and I griped about that. They could have done a lot more than just have Drebin explain those bits, buuuut, am glad we heard some back story on them. Then in typical MGS fashion, you feel bad for the boss you just beat.

 

You know what you're right now that I think about it; I remember feeling bad for SniperWolf and Raven (the guy with the gatlin gun straped to his back) after I killed them in MGS.

 

Yeah I agree... and I feel the same about Olga, Fatman and Fortune in MGS2 as well.

EDIT: And The Boss in MGS3 too!

 

Re: Metal Gear Solid 4 Playthrough Thread*spoilers

Hell out of all those bosses The boss deserves the most praise, emotions, back story, whatever we're talking about at this point.


They made YOU(the player) pull the trigger!!!!

<span style='font-size: 26pt'>WOW</span>

 

Re: Metal Gear Solid 4 Playthrough Thread*spoilers

^ Yeahup ; - ;

I was afraid they were gona make you pull the trigger in the end when Snake decides to end his life. I duno if I could have done it haha.

 

Re: Metal Gear Solid 4 Playthrough Thread*spoilers

OMG...wow..do you know how outraged people would be. Parents would protest the game for it's advocation of suicide, and gamers would never forgive Kojima. He'd be blacklisted, hah.

Thank God they didn't do that.

 

Re: Metal Gear Solid 4 Playthrough Thread*spoilers

Hello everyone,

Hey Griever, very cool you make it on Extreme but you don't have to gather ammo for the MK. 2, on Extreme the max. ammo is 50. The same for Mosin Nagant and even just 30 for the Twinbarrel.
10 Flashbangs is so stupid but with the solar gun no problem. You should also prepare 10 (okay, I don't know the proper translation for it, because I'm playing the german version) Stunmines and 10 Stunbags.

 

Re: Metal Gear Solid 4 Playthrough Thread*spoilers

Yeah I know, but thanks Jemun. I started again on normal just to buy the special emotion ammo. My friend borrowed MGS4 from me for a week, but once I get it I'll check how it works and finish it on Extreme. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

 

Re: Metal Gear Solid 4 Playthrough Thread*spoilers

I should also start trying Extreme. I'm still in my 35 hour run in which I gather up to 21 emblems. The problem is the time management, I still have to be 15 hours in the game but I'm already in Outer Haven. I hope the PS3 is not overheating when I leave it on all the time. Yesterday there were problems with the fans.
