    Okay...so MGS4 is based heavily on MGS3.

    There's no way I'd be able to play MGS3. Would you recommend I wiki it to get the background, or better off just starting plain with MGS4?

    @ Buffalo: Check out the torrent I linked before. But to answer your question, I recommend taking a look at MGS3 before you start MGS4. You'll be lost if you don't check out Snake Eater (or Subsistence, same thing).

    Metal Gear Solid cutscenes torrent

    For anyone that doesn't want to play the games to catch up on the story, the torrent I just gave has the cutscenes from each MGS game (MGS1 uses the Twin Snakes version). The guy who did the editing basically took out the gameplay parts from the game and left the codec cutscenes and the rest of the in-game events. Some parts were left out but its nothing really important that you wouldn't understand what was going on.

    I used this torrent myself to refresh myself before MGS4 came out. Hopefully it'll be helpful to anyone that needs it. However, I still highly recommend you play the games since they are worth going through.

    or if you have a modded ps2, just get the existence bonus disc for mgs3, its basically mgs3 as a 3 hour long movie.

    see, i'm in the same boat...

    They have alot of charactors and refrences to the previous games... I have played the first for psx through probably 10 times but i didn't play sons of liberty and i barely played mgs3.

    i just finished last night (@ 3am, having to be up at 6 for work!) total 22+ hours of play time, but alot of that was my looting dead bodies for items and going on killing sprees. I was satisfied overall.

    There were some funny parts in the game.

    -did anybody else not 'kill' the beasts? i tranquilized one and then did the other one w\ the shotgun v-shot or whatever that takes away psyche... I think if you do that instead of killing them you get to use their face as camo if you want.

    There is just so many ways you could possibly go in this game, i'm going to play through it again on the hardest level to see how that goes.

    tranq killing always yielded unlockables, guess you should've played the previous games.

    I just beat the game yesterday and I just have to say the final battle with liquid was bad ass. The 2nd phase was hard in which I died like 3 times.

    SPOILER ALERT QUESTION: I don't get it (Never played 1 and 2, only played half off MGS3), that the other Big Boss was a clone at the end? Its like all the information that I have been trying to watch during the 20-30 minute long ass cinematics throughout gameplay is still not sinking in.

    This post will have heavy spoilers if you haven't beaten it so don't read it if you don't want to be spoiled.










    Spoilers

    The Big Boss at the end was THE Big Boss. The very original who Solid, Liquid, and Solidus were cloned from. In Metal Gear 2, Snake defeated him there once and for all. His body was destroyed but Major Zero had retrieved his body and wanted to keep it preserved as a symbol for The Patriots. But on the other hand, we have Eva, Ocelot, and Naomi who had plans to bring him back to life. Liquid and Solidus were both defeated in MGS1 and MGS2 (respectively). They used their body parts to reconstruct the original Big Boss and used Solidus's body to replace Big Boss's body as the main key to The Patriot's system since he was a true clone of Big Boss (he had both the dominant and recessive genes, nothing was taken out besides being able to reproduce and pass his genes on). Hope that helps.

    I just got to complete the game in normal mode. It was great, though I never played the previous MGSs but one of my friend is kind enough to explain the previous plots to me. And thanks for the info, NM. I was wondering about that too.

    I still can't join any servers in Metal Gear Online, but I can host games and it was fine as over a dozen players joined in no time. Got thrashed though as it was my first experience and wasn't too familiar with maps and the settings.

    So, anyone game for online multiplayer?

    I am...Only about 13 hours in (Act 3). I'm interested in the multiplayer, but cant ever join a game. my ps3 id is the same as my gotwoot^^

    I think MGO is region locked though...right?

    And the PSN ID is separate from the MGO one (except you have to use your PSN ID to log on to the internet first).

    My MGO one is DanTehMan777. I'm up for a game if you guys are. Hopefully you all have mics so we can chat on there too. Maybe we should make a separate thread to start up some MGO games? And a GotWoot clan would be awesome too.

    People actually fall for the box trick - all the time. It's hilarious.

    My MGO ID is Psyke80, though I haven't been playing much and is still at level 1.
