can anyone get me a high res copy of that mgs4 old snake's face wallpaper that is part of the official ps3 theme? It's the image that's on the box art, but it's wallpaper.
My MGS online name is chimera_1
Does anyone know how to use voice chat on this?
Game play was great but the story was lacking for me in 4. MGS3 is still my favorite MGS.
im returning my MGS4 to gamestop today
i thought the story in 4 was great considering they had to wrap all the loose ends up but i didn't play MGS3..ordered it from ebay though for like $12. should be here today or tomorrow...in time for the weekend. glad i bought the 80GB ps3 so i can play the ps2 games...didn't think i would actually use it for that.
Spoiler:IMO it was really unsatisfying to learn that Ocelot basically plotted the whole thing from the beginning and Solid Snake played right along with it. Also why would he try to kill Snake all these times and make it so hard for Snake then? The Big Boss coming back was also unnecessary to me and felt kind of forced. Yes the game wrapped up all the loose ends but the way they did it was unbelievable to me (even for a video-game). Please don't try and start a debate with me, this is my opinion of the game and I'm not saying it is bad game....I enjoyed it a lot but in the end I felt that it didn't meet my expectations (story wise....I loved the gameplay). Just my 2 cents.
Spoiler:I finished MGS4 about two weeks ago...yes it took me a while. This was my first playthrough and I think I'll take a breather and come back after I finish GTAIV...which I had put aside for MGS4.
I'm glad to see that MGS4 wrapped it all up.
First off, Solid Snake was the bad @$$ he is always meant to be. Taking gunshots, broken limbs, and burns and the guy is STILL going at it. The "Old Snake" stuff and Snake's advanced degeneration didn't really play as big of a role as I thought it did. You really could've eliminated it and all the slight references in the game to Snake's rapid aging and it wouldn't have any effect on the rest of the story. Ahh well...thats what the young Snake face camo is for right? I think the old age was mostly to depict Solid Snake as the tired, old warrior in a more physical sense than anything else. I don't got problems with it as I used to, but I'd still like to hope that Solid Snake would get his youth back...so many of our action heroes in so many mediums are OLD now...Ford as Indiana Jones, Stallone as Rambo and Rocky...geez.
Raiden is now cool...but not cool enough to be the main character in a MAIN MGS title. He can have his own spin-off. Glad to see Rosemary and Raiden's son all have a happy ending.
I was also happy to see some of the returning cast from Metal Gear Solid like Mei-Ling and Meryl. Meryl was obviously the best coming back and she was no longer the nervous soldier she was in MGS. Her connection with Akiba is a little wonky and corny at times though...especially their shoot-out on Outer Haven. Even EVA's appearance and reveal as Snake's surrogate mother was great to see and hear about.
Also I was glad to see that the Patriots were finally revealed. Major Zero, Big Boss, EVA, Ocelot, Paramedic, Sigint, etc. However, it was slightly disappointing to see that the "modern" Patriots was nothing more than an AI Supercomputer that controlled the world's economy, etc. through war and others. I was hoping that there was a human mastermind (that wasn't confined to a wheelchair) behind it all...perhaps even Big Boss. Though after Big Boss's portrayal in MGS3 and MGS: Portable Ops it's obvious he is now being placed in a sympathetic light as a tragic hero carrying out the wishes of his mentor whose love for her country was brushed aside. So overall there was a great underlying story to it all and the Patriots themselves.
Liquid Ocelot was a great villain, but I have to admit that I miss the actual Liquid Snake though. The touch about Ocelot literally "thinking himself" into being Liquid was interesting and more realistic than being possessed by the will of the arm...though it makes much more sense considering that Ocelot is the son of spirit medium, the Sorrow. However, in the grand scheme of it all...the story behind it to achieve the destruction of the Patriots made it for a classic ending. Definitely one of the best stories ever.
I'm glad to see Snake lives on!!!!!!
