shim... your avatar is a huge spoiler. not that I have any problems with it, but you might incounter a problem or two from moderaters here.crude_darkness

I might change it just to be nice to anyone who would come in here without completing the game first.

And thanks D.

The Bluray case contains the Making-Of-MGS4 bluray disc, and the MGS4 Soundtrack (though with only half as many songs are in the full retail version of the Soundtrack)

Also for those wondering (several people that knew me when I used to post here years ago know this) but my copies of MGS (PSX), VR Missions, and Twin Snakes are all in custom covers. The two PSX games are in cases with covers designed to fit DVD cases. And the Twin Snakes cover is just an alternate.

Getting this game recently completed my collection.

Not Pictured - Ghost Babel and Portable Ops Soundtrack. I can't remember where I put those two.

And I guess it's okay to post in this particular thread with my current avatar.

These problems with downloading the patch and Konami ID seem to be widespread.

I'm glad I took care of everything on Tuesday and Wednesday when both were first launched.

I think you're confusing Metal Gear with a game that takes itself seriously. It's a game, and it's never been about 100% realism, which is what a lot of your "points" seem to criticize. It's never meant to be a realistic game where one bullet will kill you. It's comparable to a comic book style realism.

I think you're forgetting that it's a game, not a simulation.
