This is the official one. Im gettting it tomorrow and i cant wait to face all the bosses and see ocelot. Ocelot is my favorite character and i cant wait to see him young.
 
How is the game? Is it better or worse than 2? I'm deciding if my $50 should go to this or Metroid Prime 2.
 
Supposedly it is the best in the series. Right now, MGS1 is my favorite because of awesome characters, boss battle, and perfect ending sequence.

MGS2 was interesting and it seems to set up for a good sequel, but on its own, MGS1 is way better.

I really want to play MGS3, but I'm trying to wait until my classes are over.

so far the game is phenomenial. I would def. think about dropping 50 on it if I had it


also you could pick up Prime for 20 new less than 4 months after release(at Blockbuster), so that may sway your decision


and it has to be one of the funniest games ever. Kojima is amazing
 
anyone like wearing the "Jack" mask?

great hearing Snake's voice and seeing his face


EDIT: put in a solid 6 hours. Game is incredibly fun. I would play all night if I did not have to get up in 6 hours
 
oh sheet!!! the official thread! watchout fools!!!

if u havent played this game yet, plz read this!!

at the beginning, make sure to eat every food u catch and eat becoz:
1. you will lose it all anyway when the real mission of the game starts
2. when u eat something, it gives u info whether or not u liked it.

I didnt do that, and now I regret it coz I donno how rats taste like...

also...

when u begin the second part and you're given a pistol, shoot away with it as much as you can (i.e. catch lots of animals and fruits)

becoz you will lose your gun shortly after, so bullet conservation also doesnt matter at that point.

that's as far as ive gotten so far, gotta play some more now!
 
I think every Snake likes something different. My friend ate a rat and hated it, where as I have eaten quite a few and find them quite good.
 
I only have an hour into Metroid Prime 2, but now I own this as well... When I have to decide which to play I hope I dont flip out, I've been waiting for both for a long time.

Same here, SOL was OK, but really let me down when players had to use Raiden the rest of the game. I might have to pick up MGS3 on BF, but hopefully I'll get it sooner.
 
this game is really really good. No long winded cutscenes like MGS 2 or even 1, once you get into the game.

I just found my first major spolier and have probably put 10 hours in. As of right now this game is easily a 9.5
 
I hate to ask, but where in the hell is the sniper rifle? I reached a "certain place" where Snake took two people out at once in the trailer and would like to recreate that moment. :lol:



EDIT: NVM . It was the house you mowed everybody down at in the trailer
 
I was happy for a moment when I saw "the mask" I thought it was really that person. I had hoped that Kojima tricked us and that this was a VR mission or something.

It's still good I guess...
 
The game is okaaay, heh no wonder they announced MGS4 so quickly. But the new gameplay is fun, but gets old quick, maybe they can add more extras with downloads. The story as usual for an MGS game is great...and less confusing. Oh and has anyone noticed how MGS3 came out with no attention at all? I mean cmon when MGS2 came out, it got crazy attention from gamers and the public. Guess Half Life 2, GTA:SA, and Halo 2 are taking up the attention. Oh well, this month ruled for video games, but hurt my poor wallet. :cry:
 
yea i just got mgs3 too and i died wading in the mud...lol

but yea i just fooled around so far by slicin snakes and jabin crocs

let a croc eat you in the lake. It is so funny


so far I have probably died 50 times. Mainly from killing myself
 
yeah but mgs2 had the best commercial for a video game ever. My dad even asked me what the game was bout and actually bought if for me with out me asking him to.
 
i, also am waiting to pick up a copy of this awesome game, MGS 2 was easily one of the best on the PS2.

but what does it have for the online feature? i saw the box shot and it had the tiny online icon at the bottom, but i havent heard anything of it. does anyone know what it has to offer ?

downloading new camo
 
why does jack like eating snakes instead of russian ration? i have no clue, but its damn true!! crocodiles too. i played this game strait from 10 AM this morning, and stoped an hour ago. didnt do much between that but eat and pee. this game is by far the funnest MGS ive ever played, sorry for spoilers. theres something addicting about it, whether its looking at EVA's boobs in first person, (EVA is a sex slave btw). ocelot is damn gay but can fling his pistols better then any cowboy can, and the Cobra's are el33t but i manage to own them all really fast. bosses in order:

1. ocelot (you cant win without nades, thats how i beat him.. and his crew shoots at you
2. the pain (hes the hornets guy) really easy with a shotgun
3. the fear (hes so sexy, with his long tongue and ugh).

enough about spoilers

i dont think anyone has gotten as far as me, ive beaten all the cobras except for the boss. who is really yo mama!!! jk, shes a girl who was your mentor and breaks your arms a couple of times. yes, couple, every cutseen she beat you up. EVA has boobs.

anything else you need to know? this game is right next to rachet and clank 2. the last game i had real fun playing. =] if you like the MGS genres, this is a must for your 50 bucks.

What?!?
 
I merged the topics.

the boss fights were pretty easy, which was kind of disappionting, but the ones that did put up a good fight were really great
 
My favorite bosses were The Sorrow and The End. Ocelot ruled, I liked how he tied into the story :wink: I thought it was really funny how Snake would stare at Eva's breasts everytime. But I wonder why Kojima didn't add the Japanese voice track to MGS3 like he did with MGS2. Kuwabara...Kuwabara!

The Sorrow and the End were two of my favorites as well (mainly because The End was the hardest boss in the game, and The Sorrow was just a really cool battle).

The Boss was also a pretty cool boss battle, mainly because of where you fight her


also I hope that we get a remake of the earlier games(metal gear 1 and 2), as I would love to see all the changes in the story that would occur.
 
spoiler about beating The End...

you know, he's really not so hard and that was probably one of my quickest battles. Just equpid the thermal goggles and you can see his footprints...follow them...then just sneak up on him with the sniper rifle..rinse, repeat....

I tried that, but I would only see his footprints like 1/4th of the time, and I would be right behind him.

also If you get him to freeze and surrender is there any way to end the battle? I just ended up shooting him since I did not know what to do
 
this topic should have a hell of a lot more posts. People are missing out on the GOTY by neglecting this game. I plan on finishing this game several more times before I return it.

I'm thinking the same thing about the "Official Half Life 2 Thread." It's basically Scorch, Sneaky, and a few others discussing it.

I want it, but I need to play the demo to make sure it will run (though knowing Valve, we never will see a demo)


EDIT: Also, did anyone hear that you can kill the end and not even have to fight him? I can't wait to try this tomorrow (technically today :wink: )
 
[quote name='CaseyRyback']I want it, but I need to play the demo to make sure it will run (though knowing Valve, we never will see a demo)[/quote]

Even if you can't, FIND A WAY to run it. It's that good.

I will, the good thing is that by the time I get it, the mod community will have picked up the slack that Valve left for them to pick up
 
I started "playing" the game today if thats what you call it. I'm about 3 hours in with about 30 minutes of actual gameplay. The funny part is I don't care. :D I love the story and thats mainly why I'm playing it because I don't like the gameplay in this one. I can't wait to see what happens. Also a small spoiler I guess, but I'm at the electric fences and I'm stuck. I heard there is a hole and a power supply box I'm suppose to blow up, but I can find neither. Any help?

I have not heard about the power box, but there is a hole. On ones side the hole is on the left and you can see a trench, and on the other the hole is on the right.


and the game gets better as you get used to all the new stuff and the jungle. My second time through has been much more enjoyable than my first because I know the layouts and don't have alert's and cautions coming at me left and right
