Metal Gear Solid 4 (and MGS fans)

[Evilz]

My big debate right now is whether or not if I should splurge on a Bluray player that plays Metal Gear Solid 4

Out of the 3 Solid's I thnk the the 3rd one is my favourite. EPIC ending

That is not much of a debate. If I was in your shoes I'd do it in a heartbeat.

All three MGS games (I never had the opportunity to play the Metal Gear games) have done a terrific job of character development, and are wonders of storytelling. The emotion that MGS was able to muster, on the ORIGINAL Playstation, when you finally killed Sniper Wolf was amazing.

In MGS2, EE's death really shook me up. You spend most of the game trying to help her, and then they kill her off?! That series of events really made me question what the story was getting at, and what video games, as a genre, really are.

The entire story line of MGS3, while much less convoluted than its predecessor, had a gripping, relevant plot from beginning to end. The interplay of Snake and The Boss explained, rather retroactively, the motivation for the events of the Metal Gear games, as well as some of the reasoning behind MGS.

Sure, there are long cut scenes; I'm okay with that. I just make sure that I have plenty of time to play, and that I take frequent bathroom breaks.

I agree 100%!

Isn't KillZone2 supposed to be good as well?

Sigh, one day to decide if I want to send 560 dollars

(I want to grab the MGS4 bundle if I'm getting a PS3)

560???? how did you get there?

a PS3 is 400
a game is 60

460

do you pay 25% taxes?

PS3 Bundle

Ignore the extra DualShock CC is forcing you to buy.

$499.99 for the system (80 gig), game, and controller. Add tax, and it comes to roughly $535. The price you supplied would be for someone who was looking at the 40 gig.

[soulpatch]

Yes but really no reason to go up to 80GB when you can USB in an external hard drive anyway......

[Kael]

I'll wait till it is ported

[Holy the Goalie]

Yeah, but I like the option of BC, and the integrated card reader.

I LOVE the irony of the Limited Edition MGS4 PS3 not having the backwards compatibility to play MGS1-3.

I have the 60GB so I have everythign in mine including full backwards compatibility.


Kael - Good luck on that one mate. The creater of the game said that this one is not going to the 360 and is staying on the PS3....

With how well Haze did, I couldn't see why not...

PS3 exclusives are great.

Im going to pick up the bundle tomorrow!

Hideo Kojima had a hard time trying to fit the game on a 50 gb blue-ray disk, theres no way it will come out on xbox360 and be on a dvd unless it was a 5 dvd game
