Just wondering, whose played the Metal Gear Solid games and what do you think of it? Ive completed every one (except the original Metal Gear and the ac!d games) and absolutely loved every second of it.

I loved all of them. Fell in love with the first one, the story line was awsome, game play unique for the time. Even the way the camera moved in the videos was cinema like and a big hand in that was from Hideo kojima. The whole two different endings part was brilliant and i will admit to having a few tears in my eyes with a few scenes.
The second one i thought was very good even though some people didnt like the use of Raidon as the main character. I loved the twist at the end of the game and really got me fired up. Yet again game play was unique. The graphics were awsome for me with a realistic approach to the whole gameplay. I think the story line was lost a little bit and got a little complex with whos on whos side within this game and the first.
The third one with its new CQC style gameplay was awsome. I think Hideo was back to his best after he stepped back a little with the second one. With Solid Snake back again as the main character (or big boss), i think that made it all the more better. The story line was brilliant and tied up a few loose ends from the first one.
I cant wait for the fourth one, from the trailor its looks brilliant. With a new futeristic look and truly amazing graphics even though its a trailor the second game shown that the video was close to gameplay graphics and i expect the same here.
Word is that its Hideo kojimas last involvment in the Metal Gear series and also from the poster released by Konomi a few familiar faces have poped up with what looks like Meryl from the first one, Vamp, what looks like Fortune and maybe Naomi (doctor from the first one) may also be involved again.
Overall this is the main reason for me buying a Playstation 3 and i just cannot wait for the new one to be released.

Loved the first one (had to get it again when it was released on the GC)
Second one... OK
Third one was excellet, defo back on form (hopefully will continue now with four)
Never played the old ones on the nes and that or bothered to play the acid ones (cant stand all that "turn-based strategy" kind of game)
Roll on PS3

yea, i agree that the storyline in 2 was a little wierd but i liked the raiden twist and id like to see him back in mgs4. Another point is the graphics! I dont know how theyve done it but excellent graphics with no loading screens, amazing.

Raidon will appear in MGS4, but no one is sure on how big a part he will play in the game.

I'm an MSG newbie. I heard a lot of things about the series so last week I bought the third installment it absolutely blew me away. Game play is awesome and the storyline rivals the best Hollywood has to offer.

I played MGs on PS and loved it. Then tried MGS2 and thought it was ok. Recently got Metal Gear Acid for my PSP and have to admit that it is the biggest pile of doggy doodoo that I have ever played. DONT PLAY METAL GEAR ACID, IT SUCKS!

Hmm, I guess this is the Metal Gear Solid official thread... Anyone getting Metal Gear Solid 4? I'm off to get it later on today. I must say I'm pretty excited! And if you've seen the videos on youtube etc, you'll know what I'm talking about.

MGS newbie here...although have been gaming since the Street Fighter days....looking forward to MGS4...game's been looking great thus far...the reviews have also been no less than perfect
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Yeah I've seen some awesome reviews.
I guess you could say I'm a half newbie lol. I've only played the PSP game prior to this, and I'm not too sure how that fits into the entire storyline.

They say to really enjoy MGS4...you must know how the story has unfolded over the past 20 years...thats what I've been doing the whole day today...here's a good LINK for those interested...

Thanks mate. I will have to give it a good read before I play. I guess I'm in the same boat as you, having to play catch up before the release!
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Well I just got the game and its currently installing on my PS3. Install time is 8 minutes and its 6 minutes in... And so far Snake has smoked three cigarettes. Dirty bugger.

Enjoy the dirty bugger
I'm gonna have to wait a few days though..

I'm a fan of MGS also and have played MGS1 and MGS2 to completion. Also bought MGS3 on its day of release but still not got around to playing it as my work schedule and private life became very busy over the last couple of years.
Still not got around to buying a PS3 (Still have my slim silver PS2) either although I'll hopefully will be doing when they comedown in price and will also buy MGS4.

It is well worth it! Probably took me the longest of any game to get used to the menu structures and controls, but once I did it was so worth it. The graphics are sweet, the sound effects are awesome...
I won't spoil anything for anyone but it seems to have a realy good storyline so far, and some genuinely funny bits too. You won't regret this one.
@Rookwise: I'd say this and GTA IV are two games well worth buying a PS3 for. I bought my PS3 a month ago solely for GTA IV and I haven't regretted it at all.

I cannot believe that metal gear solid 4 got rated 9.3 out of 10 when GTA IV a rubbish game might i add got 9.7. ratings are rele wrong

You're one of very very few people who think it is rubbish. Critics across the world agree it is an incredible game, so either theres something wrong with you or GTA just isn't your thing.
Either way, MGS's 9.3 is still a really high rating and many other review sites have given it higher... Some sites say it is the best of the series. I think GTA IV just has a broader appeal.
@deepsme: Definitely epic. You need to get this one!

At least you're not a cock about it though!
He said it as if everyone should hold the same opinion as him.

dunno if any of you guys know about this rumor...but six months to the release date of MGS4 i.e December 12th..a new cut scene will run in MGS4..Hideo Kojima has programmed a sort of a different ending for the game which will only be available to view in mgs4 in 6 months time...

If this is true...i must confess...Kojima, you never cease to amaze me!!
