MGS3 discussion thread

[Atomi]

it says "nowhere to hide" i'm thinking something more open that jungle or buildings, could be really interesting, it's nice to know we'll be stepping back into the shoes of Solid Snake, though being Big Boss was awesome

Bet it'll be in moon or even the outer space! Metal Gear Solid - Moon Eater.

That would suck big time.

 

[Gargantou]

Lol, Metal Gear Solid - Alien Eater.

Acctually, imo that's what sucked the most about MGS3, the title "Snake Eater"...

 

[Atomi]

Yeah the title music wasn't the greatest, though good. Something I made quickly:

i hated that snake eater song,it was rubbish,it was done by rika muranaka who did that awful end theme for mgs2,that guy needs a kick up the arse imo,for me mgs1 had the best end theme,also the music that played at the more 'emotional' parts was great,like when meryl was shot by wolf etc,mgs2 had some great tracks too

also why was the operation called 'operation snake eater',snake suggested it was coz of the cobras but zero said he would explain why later,anyone know why?

Metal Gear Solid is awesome, I can relate to it as a martial artist.
Metal Gear Solid 3 featured Close Quarter Combat. It actually exist, but Metal Gear Solid modified its history. I'm trying to get a collection of existing martial arts into my library of techniques, that's why I love Tong Moo Do.
I emailed Konami about Metal Gear Solid 3, I'm waiting for a reply.

yes i used to be a member of mgs2-online which was great,i still remember the day the e3 trailer(the first 1 that would announce mgs3)was leaked about a week before e3 on the forum,it wasnt the whole trailer just the end part,i downloaded it on my 56k which seemed to take forever,then i watched the trailer.omfg it was amazing,all the questions it raised.

everyone was coming up with theories,counter-theories,'was it really the next mgs',it looked like a prequel,then we snakes eye and were like wtf,this has to be a fan job.good times,many people believe kojima purposely leaked it to start the e3 hype early

 

[Axyon]

Well, I finished it yesterday, but I thought I'd just post here anyway. Wow, what a game. The last few hours were mind-meltingly phenomenal; just felt like it was never going to stop. Relentless fun.

I thought the showdown with Ocelot at the end on the plane was a nice finish, too. What happened to you on your first playthrough? I won

i picked the left revolver so i shot a blank in his face and didnt get the revolver,the last 2 hours or so are like you said relentless fun,unlimited ammo on the bike chase :sniper: ,how cool was that,i also loved the setting for the boss

Spoiler

particurly when they let you pull the trigger,i stood there for a few minutes not knowing if i should finish her,so sad that part and then her horse comes along*sniff*

I kept telling the Horse to move, because the MIGS were going to rain hell on the entire area

Yeah, that part got me too. I stood there for about 10 seconds then knew that I had to do it ;(

Also:

Spoiler

If you press R1 when the horse arrives, you'll see The Sorrow and The Boss's ghosts together. Sad, but a nice touch.

ocelot at the window at the end and snakes vision blurring at the grave when in first person

So, whats everyones favourite boss....personally i enjoyed the Fury most

 

[Axyon]

Absolutely The Fury. He's just so damn cool, I'd kill for a getup like that. I enjoyed the shootout with Ocelot, too.

 

[jimbo118]

So, whats everyones favourite boss....personally i enjoyed the Fury most

lol i was waitin for someone to ask this...ok em

Worst:hmmm this is tough,eh the fury was annoying coz it was just like ravens battle in mgs1,the square area divided by even more squares,also the camera was a disgrace in this battle,dunno how many times i walked into him,the pain was sorta shit too.."tommy gun!!!",god i hated that,it was a boring boss fight too,just 2 platforms 2 shoot from unless you jumped into the water.volgin was sorta bland too

best: probably the end,the boss was great just coz i loved the setting and how the battle brought all the new gameplay elements into it,camo,cure,food,cqc etc but the end totally rocked as it was a real nerve racker,where is he?i can hear him but can see him etc,getting the jump on him was so exhilarating,sniper v sniper has never been done so well,the setting was cool too

 

[Axyon]

I probably would have enjoyed The End a lot more if he hadn't snuck up behind me, captured me and put me back at the Granin facility. That pissed me off so much, having to trawl the whole way back there again.

yeah i saved right before it and he snuck up on me,i totally sucked 1st time,they even showed me the view through his scope when he sees you,that shows how long it took me to find him,even after i saw through his scope i couldnt find him lol,so just loaded it up when that happened,i say going back through the forest must have added on a few hours to your 25 hour completion time

 

[Atomi]

I picked the empty gun at the end. The Boss scene was like "oh, I get to do something" and then just pressed the weapon button. Took me like 2secs. I'd like to play it trough again but I get spotted too easily

 

[jimbo118]

phew nice to see other people posting,this was becoming the 'jimbo,samon and axyon talk about mgs3' thread...

I enjoyed Ocelot too, i don't think he saw that beehive coming...

I enjoyed the Fury because of how lonley the arena was, with the seperate corridors and the dripping of water, to his constant screaming and these walls of flames just lapping down each corridor...brilliant

lol gotta love the beehive,yeah the fury had fight had good atmosphere,just hearing the constant clinking of his getup when moving around,i nearly screamed once when i turned the corner and heard 'there you are',i clicked to first person and phewgh(my attempt at the fire sound :O )he roasted my ass of the platform,he had some good lines too,'the flames of my fury will incinerate you'etc

anyone find the boss fights incredibly easy this time on normal anyway,only had trouble with the end

 

[Axyon]

I loved The Fury because it was a good fight, but because it was the only boss fight where you were the hunted one, and he was the hunter. All the other fights were pretty much an equal standoff - The Pain threw hornets at you, you threw things back and shot at him, The Fear was vulnerable when looking for food, you could sneak up on The End etc. It was just a very tense experience, and at the few times you do get to sneak up on him, he doesn't run away like The End - he just throttles it straight for you! Great stuff.

Yeah, compared to MGS2 they were a lot easier. The only time I died was when The Fury got me with his flamethrower and I fell over off the edge.

yes the fury keeps doin that to me at the mo,so annoying,i didnt know the fear ate during the battle,maybe i killed him really quickly? :naughty:

anyone know how harryz is getin on at the mo with mgs3?HEY HARRY GET IN HERE!!!

 

[AmishSlayer]

yes the fury keeps doin that to me at the mo,so annoying,i didnt know the fear ate during the battle,maybe i killed him really quickly? :naughty:

I thought the fury was a little too easy. I liked the end myself. Sniper vs. sniper worked really well. I shot his bird too That pissed him off. I was using thermals most of the battle trying to pick him out. Moving around a lot making sure he couldn't sneak up behind me, following footprints etc. It was kinda hard to sneak up on him and hold him up for his camo. The 2nd time I played through I beat him non-lethally with my Mk22. That took some serious time

The fight with the fear was pretty easy. He only goes to eat when you are taking his stamina down. When he eats he gains a ton back. I tried throwing some food out for him so I could lay a trap and just ambush him when he went for it. When he ate it I guess it was rotten He lost more stamina and was sorta stunned

yes the end was my fav as i said,lol shooting his bird was funny,gets uber-agressive,what does the fear eat?just the food in the location or what?do you see him go and kill it etc?

 

[Alec_85]

Heh. Getting pissed because The Fury keeps flaimg you down the big hole? How does accidentally rolling over the edge TWICE taste? ;(

Doing a No Alert game atm. Found a new area I had NEVER been in before today. It was just east of the area just before The End. It's in the trailers. Snake snipes lots of people. Damn cool area I say

Totally awesome game. Anyone else have trouble knocking people out with CQC? I can't get it to work properly. Must be pressing the buttons wrong...

 

[AmishSlayer]

I think he just goes and kills something really quick or grabs any food on the ground.

Playing with stealth camo is fun. It's kinda annoying though if you get an alert your camo only works to 95% instead of 100% so they can keep shooting at you. All you have to do is get out of sight for a little bit but still

yeah thats the sniping area i was talkin about,in last years e3 trailer.alot of people missed it,i did just like in the trailor too,sniped every one and no alerts either get in!! :naughty: ,it has a few massive turrets too,satisfying

lol @fallin over the edge,happened to me too ,in relation to cqc if you keepin tapping square they will be knocked out but be careful as if you press it too much you will snap their neck,i'm havin trouble trowing them to the ground once i grab them,i can throw them before i grab them but once i grab them i dont seem to be able to do it,slitting their throat is nasty particurly durig the sorrow fight when they come back to haunt you,'agh hes cutting my head off etc',nasty stuff
