I'm on act 4 - just beat cry wolf - I've only played mgs2 once a long time ago. I love this game - was skepticle at first, but now it's my new favorite game and I already want to play it again. I love the graphics, how you are free to do whatever, the bosses, and I look forward to the clip scenes. I also like the length of the game - I have about 15 hours in including clip scenes and I'm only about 75% done I think. Anyways - not to be confused with a recommendation thread, how many times have you played it, what about online, how long did it take you to beat it? Can we expect another - expansion or new game entirely?

Which easter eggs? I have the guide and it mentions a few I didn't know about. Like the ocelot kiss.

I have 3 playthroughs, and another one which is a BBE run but I stopped a long time ago right when I got to act 3, don't know how to do it.

What is interesting though is that one of the devs who actually worked on the game, the one in the recent integral podcasts, played through the game over 30 times(as quoted from him).

Haven't finished it. Cut scenes too boring and convoluted. Granted the gameplay is fun, it's not worth going through the rest of the game to get to it.

Don't flame me, I never played any of the other MGS games. The story is foreign to me. I get the main plot line, but it's boring. If I knew the characters better I would maybe think otherwise.

Old Snake annoys the crap out of me. His voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard.

I probably played the single player like 3 or 4 times just to show the people that was watching me play what happened. As for MGO, if I added up the days I played it, it would add up to like a month.

So far i have only played the game all the way through once... however this is because i have a SD TV and will be getting a HD soon so.... i am holding off on replaying it until then...i cant wait. I currently have 50+ hours on MGO and pretty much love it, it has its flaws but Konami is fixing them slowly but surely.

Around 4-5 times I'm guessing. Two or three of those replays were without cutscenes, so those went by in a jiffy :P

Played it all the way through once. Loved it. Then showed off the first level to a friend who just recently bought a PS3, found myself not wanting to stop playing, even though I played it already :-) No current intentions on playing it again, since I have other games to finish, but as with all strong single player games, I'm keeping it around like a good book you may want to read again. Oh yeah, tried to set up an account for MGO but the stupid thing didn't work so I gave up on it. Heart breaking actually, since I thought it would be awesome fun.

There's this newfangled feature they have that allows you to skip cutscenes. Anyways, I played it twice but intend to replay it soon.

I beat it and loved it, and try to get back into it but I have about 6 or 7 games uncompleted so I'm gonna complete them first and then Killzone will take over my life :) But you get all your weapons on the second playthrough which makes it more fun. MGo would be good if you didn't have like 5 usernames and passwords and have to pay for Ever. Little. Thing.

You really should try Online. Sure, it's a bit of a pain to register, but it all pays off. It's one of the really awesome games online.

Overall, though, I think I'm on my 15th playthrough and I still love it.

0. 1 play through was enough. MGS1 and MGS2 were far more enjoyable.

just the 1 playthrough i dont see the point of going back and playing the game after completion unless there our trophies involved. or doing it on the hardest level. for me the reason i dont play games again after completion is because you know where everyone is and its just not as fun.

Which easter eggs? I have the guide and it mentions a few I didn't know about. Like the ocelot kiss.

idk what the Ocelot Kiss is either... but its 1 where during a mission briefing you can click a remote and an Idol Slideshow starts playing on a screen in the game :P

A lot of Eater eggs. Like Raging Raven you put on a song in where she has not suit ans she dances. Or take out a camera and she poses.

during the 3rd phase of the ocelot fight at the end. Ocelot will grab you and if you don't do anything he'll give snake a kiss on the cheek.

my favouriteof all time yet I've only beaten it once. I don't want to overdo it while it's still fresh in my mind. Sometime in the future when I start to forget it I'll replay the whole thing again.

I'm still replaying it... using different tactics and such. Some I just fool around and run n gun and get a ton of alerts. Others, I actually try. I'm not too big on emblems. I just have fun. But I do try to get emblems.

This is exactly how i'm (usually) thinking. Still, i ended up playing it 5 times so far :cry: There's such a strong emotional component to the story and the overall package, that you want to experience over and over. I'll probably end up playing it again in the not too distant future ;) I still have quite a lot of things to achieve in-game as well (advanced strategies, missing costumes, easter eggs).
