[quote name='ijustw1n']Is there an overall story/point? Is gaining levels rewarding enough to justify grinding? Is there an emphasis on weapons and armor or loot pickups?

I'm very tempted but if there's strong fun factor I'm sure I'll regret it. I'm already wondering why this isn't on the vita. Think mobile is perfect for srpg.[/QUOTE]

I've played for about an hour and a half and I have no idea what the story is. You come through a portal looking for someone and the villagers tell you that person is probably in the mines, so you grind to the mines. Then you grind in the mines. You can avoid a lot of battle, though. The random encounter is different and you either ignore it or accept and go into battle. Patrolling monsters can often be avoided, but you will have to fight them if you touch them.

Leveling up is nice because it raises the stat caps so that you can raise your stats higher. What was crazy was that level 5 required about 50 or so xp and then it just jumped to 350 xp for level 6.

I haven't come across any weapons or armors aside from 2 pieces I bought from the store (in-game) and a weapon that they gave me for the crafting tutorial. Crafting is just combining a weapon with items to raise the bonus stats, from what I can tell. The armor I equipped did change how my character looked. I'm not sure if it will happen again, though.

Most of the loot I have picked up have been side quest items that are also stat boosting / crafting items, potions, MP herbs and food / water because you have to eat in this game, thought I'm not sure what happens if you don't. Oh torches, too. Can't see very well without them while outside at night or inside dungeons.
 
took them what, 3 years? wow. i guess ill play it someday now.
yeah, idk tho, 50 cent got a trophy patch in japan but not in the US. and games like saints row 2 had the developers saying trophies will be awesome and different than the xbox 360's achievements, and then they never fulfilled that promise either. so yeah, whatever.
strange they would do that right after they shut down metal gear online tho...
 
That's kind of a slap in the face to all trophy fans who've already played the game. Releasing trophy support for a game that's been out for over 4 years is a little ridiculous. I'll welcome it because I still haven't gotten around to playing the game.
 
[quote name='kouleefoh']This is the first time I learned about Malicious. Im gonna be all over it when it comes out. Looks awesome.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, me too. What the hell is it? It looks awesome.

EDIT: After watching a gameplay vid, I gotta say it's a day 1 buy, especially at the shockingly fair price of $9.99:

[quote name='FriskyTanuki']I refuse to believe any MGS4 rumors.[/QUOTE]

Yup, I'll believe it when I am actually downloading the patch.
 
I think the MGS4 trophy support is actually happening. Apparently the game is getting rereleased in Japan labeled the 'Best Version' around August and anyone who already owns the game will receive the trophies in a patch. Also no sites are saying it's a rumor but an actual thing.

I won't believe it until it actually happens. The internet has cried wolf about MGS4 stuff far too many times now, so it's false until proven true when I can download the update myself.

I felt a little like this when GTA4 received a trophy patch, heh (my old, completed save data became invalidated, gotta play through the game again one of these days to get my trophy completion above 2%...).

In MGS4's case though, I really like this news, despite having played through the game back in 2008. Just more motivation to replay this great game.

[quote name='FriskyTanuki']I won't believe it until it actually happens. The internet has cried wolf about MGS4 stuff far too many times now.[/QUOTE]
I dunno, doesn't seem like much of a rumor to me at this point. The source is a Famitsu interview with Kojima where he describes an upcoming reprinting of MGS4 (presumably the inspiration for trophy support, since the trophies are to be pre-installed on that disc whereas the rest of us have to patch), and if you google Metal Gear Solid 4 trophies, you'll see dozens of big-name gaming news sites all reporting it as fact and not as rumor. I'm cautious about rumors too generally, but this seems legitimate to me.

Hideo Kojima confirmed it with Famitsu himself. But yeah I guess it's happened before.

I don't care. The standard procedure for MGS4 news is that it's a false rumor until it actually happens.
 
Wonder if they'll release a patched SH collection.

Still won't buy it otherwise, especially since it's nearing the next generation.

As for trophies, I wish they would add it for SR2, even if it's the same ones as the 360 ones. I would finish Folklore if it had it too.

I felt like I was the only one that had a good time with Folklore. Did Valkyria Chronicles ever get trophy support? It was one of my favorite games.

Nope
 
I agree with Frisky. It seems with MGS4, nothing is truly confirmed until it actually happens. Having said that if they do patch it, i wish they would do the same for some other old games. Ratchet and Clank Tools of Destruction comes to mind since they are releasing the HD collection of the PS2 games soon.

How is this a slap in the face to anybody? What a stupid fuckin thing to say.

It's a slap in the face to trophy fans who've already played through and completed the game to its fullest. Jesus man, do you have to analyze every little thing anybody ever says and criticize it? You're always so damn high and mighty.

Wow a slap in the face? Are you kidding me? The game came out before trophies were on PS3s. How many games can you name that came out before trophies were introduced and later were added in later? Kojima is doing more than Sega, Insomniac, and more
 
I realize that, but to wait 3+ years for them to implement trophy support is what would irritate me if I cared about trophies as much as some people.

So they shouldn't update the games for trophies then?

Like I say to most people who use that stupid ass phrase, I would love to slap you in the face so you would have some context on when that phrase is warranted.
 
Do you automatically get the trophies if you previously completed the tasks when you download the patch? If not, I could see it being a slap in the face.

I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow in the knee and it bounced off and slapped me in the face and I became entitled. Am I doing it right?

Please point out where I said they shouldn't update the games for trophies? I don't remember doing so.

You are one angry person, you know that? Getting so uptight over the usage of a simple phrase like that. Not once did I say it was a slap in the face to everyone. It IS a slap in the face to the minority that I described.

Now please, go find something else to complain about, if you will.

No they don't. It'll be the same thing that happened with GTA IV when that received a trophy patch. Even if you had 100% completion, you were forced to replay through everything if you wanted the trophies.
 
[quote name='Jack_Frost']who cares, its MGS4. Whats so hard about watching a movie again?[/QUOTE]
Its fucking boring as fuck. Thats what! LOL

I tried so hard to want to play through MGS4 back in the day. I just gave up. I get bored way too easily in my old age.

I'm convinced gamers don't even know what "slap in the face" means. So Kojima is disrespectin people who have already played the game by adding something completely optional to a game they played 3-4 years ago? They would have been significantly (or even remotely) better off if there was no trophy patch? Is this your argument? If something so minor feels like someone walked up and slapped you in the face, you live one cushy ass life.
 
It's hardly a slap in the face, it's an added feature. If you get so upset about someone adding trophies later, don't replay it with this ADDED FEATURE. Gamers are the only people I know that bitch and moan about someone giving us an ADDED FEATURE.
 
[quote name='slowdive21']Do you automatically get the trophies if you previously completed the tasks when you download the patch? If not, I could see it being a slap in the face.[/QUOTE]

I don't recall a game having ever retroactively awarding trophies once a trophy patch has been released. Without the trophy patch implemented the game doesn't know what specific situations to monitor and what special variables to track that would warrant being recorded in your save file.

Hopefully MGS4 isn't the type of game where you'd feel that playing through it again would be a chore. I can't imagine a MGS game would be that bad. Then again I enjoyed playing through MGS2 about a dozen times and that game had very mixed reactions.

I'm not even the one affected by this since I've never even played the game. My argument is for the hardcore trophy hunters who may have already waited for a trophy patch, but assumed they were never getting one, so they went ahead and completed the game without trophies. Now to hear the game is coming out with an update that provides trophies, I would be a little annoyed if I were them.

Maybe slap in the face was a bit of an overstatement, but I still stand by my argument. This is a good thing for the majority, but there's still that minority that is affected negatively by this.

I am usually 4 years behind, so it doesn't effect me. I have 3 copies of MGS4, but I haven't played it yet. I just remember how hard some of the metal gear games were, so i would be pissed if I were to get everything in the game and not get 'credit for it' so to speak.
 
[quote name='Jack_Frost']Folklore is one of the most under rated games/rpgs[/QUOTE]

Aw... I saw this and I thought folklore might be a free game or discounted somewhere back. I've been meaning to play that one forever.

If someone did beat everything in it, do you really think they were doing it because they didn't enjoy it?

Gotta get credit for beating everything though and gotta have proof. Can't put it on my resume otherwise.
 
i would buy MGS4 and play the game if it didn't have the installs after each chapter, i mean, the game is awesome but not that awesome to sit thru that shit again o_O
 
fucking seriously? I played MGS4 and MGO for damn near 4 years, and it gets a patch AFTER I trade it in (Because of the MGO shutdown)

Damn you Konami, still screwing people even after MGO dies

Guess I wont be getting them, that MGS4 install was burned into my PS3 for years, I cried my manly tears already when I deleted it last month
 
Trophies came out after I completed a game. OH GOD LIFE SUCKS.

This is an insult to me and my family and my HONOR as a GAMER. TIME TO GO BITCH ON CAG.
