uRan_Ehr and HAZE-Unit: you guys did a great job with the summaries. Unfortunately this is my last week b/f finals so I am a bit busy at the moment. I will write the "abstracts" and synopses for the other games when I can.

On a different note, should I delete the "Weapons of MGS4" section? For some reason it looks ugly to me compared with the other ones...

If we had the in-game models, it would be more consistant...

how's it look now? I hid all the gun models in the spoiler tag, added an in-game model, and it actually frees up space for me to add more sections.

that works nicely. :D

a thread's got to have good feung shei, right?

hmm, indeed...

*goes to meditate*

I'm glad you thought the other way was ugly too...I was wondering if I was the only one who thought so...

Btw, I gotta thank you and give you credit for suggesting the weapons section.

I have a silly Question, Can we use ocelot the revolver on MG:O ?AgentA-Mi6

unknown. though they've hinted at character appearences. ;)

hey, you're the one who put it together. that's what counts.

Thanks Fuzz, It's your thread, whenever you are ready, post it, so take your time and don't worry about it, and Im loving the delay, because it's too early to put everything, I think updating the thread with new things on June 1st, is a great idea IMO, also updating early may give it a big bump, but I prefer delaying.

The recent change for the weapons section is great also.

EDIT: Updating each synopses alone once every week maybe the best idea also.

So why is SSBB stickyed but not the Fables 2 and MGS 4 not stickied?

Did it not meet the critriea?

u8muhrice

SSBB just came out, MGSIV discussion isn't the priority in SW atm.

Having said that, MGSIV > SSBB for me so I'm gonna keep supporting this awesome thread.

I wasn't a big MGS fan but this thread and my cousin have gotten me interested and I have pre-ordered the game.ThaGreatness007

The game is going to be awesome and I can't wait for it March is moving slowly, but when the game comes out it is going to be a great experience.

*Wondering how I am going to get $500 in 3 months for this bundle*Frexie

Just kidding :P

Is it possible it will be the first game that will get a 10 this gen :shock:aka_aj03

Shopping List:

1) PS3/MGS4 bundle - ~$500

2) HD Television - ~$1000-$1500

3) Home theater audio - ~$300-$600

. . . . . June 2008 is going to be a very expensive month for me.

When are we getting the story summary for previous games?jg4xchamp

I will try to post them next week, when I'm on spring break.

Fuzzy, I don't want to nitpick in an awesome thread like this (Goty thread of 08) but in the sniper section theres a line saying "click spoiler tag to see sniper weapons" that I think isn't supposed to be there. Sorry if I'm wrong.:oops:DarkCloud79

ah, thanks for catchin' that.

Fixed it.

It's so sad that this thread isn't stickied anymore. But great thread fuzzy. I now it's odd to hear it from everyone here but you did an excellent job. Just like Kojima did with Metal Gear Solid ;) And yep, the new weapon section is far better than the previous one. I'm not that much into weapons and so now I don't have to see 'em. I'm some kind of an armed pacifist :PuRan_Ehr

armed pacifist? haha

Well I certainly wont spend that much but I'm definitely gonna get a PS3 in June for MGS4. At first I thought I'll wait it out till Chrismas but I really want to play MGS4 and I have been following the story from the beginning so it's a must for me to own MGS4 to see how it all ends.

Not trying to be rude or anything, but you really should spend a little more on the audio. It pays off big time.

:o Nice thread Fuzzy, challenging Willy105's with this one.

Do you know what areas are getting the 80Gig MGS4 PS3 bundle? I've yet to get a PS3 and live in the UK. What's my chances?

No problem. I really have no idea what I'll get.

I just know, that if Kojima is filling a Blu-Ray disk with premium audio, than everyone should try to play the game with some sort of external audio system.

If your buying surround sound this late in life, you might as well get 7.1 surround.

Sorry for the OF-topic but I'm planing on buying a new receiver.

Is this one any good?

Well, I will tell you this...

Reasons to like Controls/Gameplay: I can't see much to gripe at since you can play over-the-shoulder view, FPS view, and classic MGS view. MGS4 completely changes the way you play and experience the game while still keeping the same MGS style. So far these changes have only had positive comments.

Reasons to like the Story: If you enjoys MGS2's story you may almost definitely enjoy MGS4's since it picks up right where it left off. But this is up to what you like.

Reasons to like the Setting: There are 5 locales on MGS4 which include the Middle East and South America. The other 3 are being kept secret. It should be very diverse for most gamers.

But may I ask... What did you not like about Snake Eater? The controls/ gameplay? The story? The setting?

But of course it's up to you to enjoy and like the game. I can't convince you that you will before release, but there are many very good reasons to justify why it will be an amazing game :).

Kojima never mentioned about the cloning process Les Enfants Terribles or how did it take place and what procedures it was use to clone three Snakes.

This might be a spoiler for MGSIV....

The cloning process was not like what they show in the movie 6th Day, but I believe that Snakes were born as natural birth. Yet cloning was still involve because they used Big Boss's DNA to get Eva pregnant with Twin Snakes...

and Eva was the one who carried the babies, first it was Twins Snake then she she gave birth to Solidus... who knows if she only carried Solid and Liquid and only gave birth to the Twins Snake..

Just think about it... Eva is Big Mama... love interest of Snake's "biological" father Big Boss, Eva greets Solid Snake with a direct request: "Call me mama. Big Mama!

Actually he did mention that Les Enfants Terrible was a cloning project. Liquid explains it in MGS. It was a government experiment because the military wanted more "super soldiers" like Big Boss. But due to his radiation exposure at Bikini Atoll, he became unable to reproduce (the reason Eva can't be the mother). They cloned 8 I think, but to make sure that some survived, they killed off the rest to make Snake and Liquid stronger.
