I've certainly try'ed. Twice now they have told me that I should remember that this a sneaking mission, and oh it may a good idea to team up with one side and start killing the other side with them. The battlefield is very large. Trying to find a way in without being detected is very difficult because you dont know where to go. So your progress is slow, and you'll probably get detected anyway. In which case you can chose, fight or run away. So I run of to a distant corner where probably wont find me. Surprisingly 4 soldiers walk straight towards me and stop near me. I'm still hidden by the octocamo but a second later they find me anyway. It all works very counter intuitively.
I'm playing on Solid Normal. I have also played MGS, MGS 2 and MGS 3. Controls have always needed sometime to get used to and its the same here. This is actually the first MGS where the confirm and cancel haven't been reversed like japanese games have.
Of coarse you need to keep still, and you'll get around 75% invisibly if you do.
The game becomes pretty easy if you start killing one side. The other will move up on the frontline along side you, and you can actually explore the battlefield and pick up everything you want. But not giving up on sneaking just yet. Maybe there are some better sneaking levels up ahead.
It's 5.1ch Dolby Digital.I ve asked something but it is still not answered.
Does the game support 7.1 Dolby Surround?
They call this a stealth game? You almost get forced to shoot everyone.
wow... these reviews are making me more anxious. come on amazon... ship my game!
Is it possible to give a game an 11? If so, this would be the game that would merit that score. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is a title that exceeds all of the hype that was attached to the title. Regardless of whether you've seen every trailer and screenshot, read every preview and heard every interview, you won't get a full sense of how phenomenal this title is unless you sit down and experience it for yourself.
Just purchased - I'm about to go in.
I'm a bit worried though. The only Metal Gear experience I have is a demo of MGS2. And the only reviews I've seen/read are Eurogamer's and on Playr (the new version of Gamer TV).
I think they both hinted, but Playr in particular, that the story was complex and had many layers that only "true fans" would really appreciate. Hmm.
Here's to hoping.
All Hail Kojima
Can anyone write down the impressions without mentioning any spoilers?
Let me know how it goes, i got the same experience
Sounds as annoying as part 3, where I dropped playing "stealthy" very early and just killed everything. Played up the incredible annyoing and boring battle with "The End" and that was the point where I lost any interest to continue. Some idiotic freaks relentlessly crying their own name dint help the experience either - cant they think of cool characters like Raven anymore..Trying to find a way in without being detected is very difficult because you dont know where to go.
