Ok guys I installed and started to play MGS4 last night. Whats the story with that game, its more like a bloody movie, its not real easy to play either.

is it one of those games that when you play it a few times it obviously gets easier?

Their is so much to learn on it. And what about those damn robot things, I was on the top floor of this two storey building and the robot jumped up on the building to try and get me, and then he sat there for a while waiting for me then he tossed a fricken grenade thingy in at me.

How do I know what Im suppose to be doing? Is their a blip on the screen where Im suppose to be heading towards or something?

So any tips and advice would be much appreciated.

Yes this game does get easier after playing for a bit. There also should be a blip on the radar (I think it's red) that'll tell you where to go. If you want some inspiration check how this guy plays it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6fQ-B0Rqxo. But I only used these videos AFTER I beat the game the first time. Also check out the VR room (I forget what it's called but it's in one of the menus) and practice your CQC moves. These can become very very handy.

try playing metal gear solid 4, then playing metal gear solid 1. the camera will kill you it's like going from playing resident evil 4 to playing resident evil 1. lol the cameras in old games were crap, and it's a good thing that the series would later change them

press start go into briefing to learn all the controls and different CQC moves, once you learn everything it will get a lot easier

the easiest way to play is to stay low and sneak around

first person i heard that said mgs4 is hard.polishkid99
Not much of a gamer here, just heard it was gr8, i still don't get the idea of sneaking around everywhere. Is snake on a mission to get somewhere or something?

So basically the idea is to watch where the action is using radars and Mk2 robot thing and attempt to sneak around the action, but if someone gets in the way you just shoot them or something right? And then keep sneaking around. Now is their a way to kill those big two legged robots?

Not with the weapons your currently equipped with. Avoid them at all costs for now.

As the others have said, listen. If you skip dialog and cutscenes, then that's your problem.

Games that I'm new to, I listen and read everything involved in the game to make sure I don't screw up or get stuck.

What you have to do is take it slow and be very observant. If you can spot guards before they spot you, it becomes a lot easier. Be aware of your surroundings.

Pleasantly challenging my friend, very good game, replaying it on different difficulties is a blast.
