It's a relatively simple story in comparison. Which is a very good thing!

I'm ordering a sleeping bag and some canned foods in preperation of the apocalypse. Peanut is a MGS fan. The world is about to end.

Seeing Peanut with a Solid Snake avatar is so surreal...and beautiful.

Peanut · 05-14-2008, 06:11 PM

I just got through the mountains after defeating The End. That was a pretty annoying boss battle, but at least I beat the f*cker.

Either way, I figure I should stop playing Metal Gear, because according to Ai I'm a hypocrite for liking it. I guess only certain people can enjoy it!

I didn't say that! I was just saying that you constantly made fun of it, and yet now you're loving it! TRAITOR! GO BACK TO YOUR STRIP MALLS...WHERE VALUES ARE KING!

Haha. It's such a beautiful thing to see Peanut on the dark side now... except he traded his lightsaber for CQC.

A bit annoying indeed but wasn't it also really awesome? When I fought him he snuck up on me at one point which was just incredibly cool.

*Ecto Jedi* · 05-15-2008, 02:56 AM

Apparently if you turn off your console when you reach the end and change the date on your PS2 like a month ahead, once you boot up again The End will have died of old age.

It's all in the details, baby. That's why I enjoy the Metal Gear series.

Yeah and you have a codec conversation with

It was still awesome. It was totally different from any other boss fight. And yeah, he totally did that to me too. I actually spent the time to beat him by decreasing his stamina using the tranq gun. That took forever.

The first official Metal Gear Solid 4 review was released in UK Official Playstation magazine today. Anyone pick it up? Willing to scan it?

*Mecha Cow* · 05-16-2008, 12:21 PM

There have been scans of it floating around the internet for about a week now. It got a 10/10, surprise surprise.

~~AquaParade~~ · 05-16-2008, 12:33 PM

Woa, really? I was told It just came out today...Think you could help me locate one?

*Mecha Cow* · 05-16-2008, 01:09 PM

I don't know what the board's policy regarding scans is, but I saw them on Kotaku and you could probably still find them by doing a search for the game's title. If that fails, there's always Google.

愛 · 05-16-2008, 02:26 PM

Scans are all good, you crazy Euro-bastard.

*Mecha Cow* · 05-16-2008, 02:29 PM

I'm still too lazy to look for them myself. I also forgot to mention the review apparently has some spoilers, so read at your own risk.

Peanut · 05-17-2008, 12:09 AM

Just finished MGS3. What a great ending, and a great game overall. Definitely my favourite of the MGS games. You really feel for

Spoiler:

at the end of the game. F*cked over again and again.

*R-iZZy* · 05-17-2008, 01:29 AM

Yeah, you do gotta feel sorry for him, but I mainly feel for

Spoiler:

I don't see how anyone could be that patriotic.

Peanut · 05-17-2008, 11:13 PM

Yeah, man. That's some rough sh*t. It makes what Big Boss does with the creation of FOXHOUND and Outer Heaven make so much more sense.

I'm playing through again, and trying out some of the tricks and funny things I've read about the game online. Wanting to get more info on Big Boss, and hearing that Portable Ops on PSP was about him as well, I went looking for it, but all I can find is Portable Ops +, which is about the multiplayer or some sh*t. I have no idea, but it sucks if that's true.
