We are less than a week away from the greatest game of all time. I dont think I have been more excited for a game. I have been reading reviews and messaging with people that have played the game, from the sound of it, it will be a game that will be remembered for a long time.

So when the game comes out we can talk about it here.

SPOILER TAG ANYTHING REGARDING THE STORY!!!!!!!!!! We must respect everyone, people do not play at the same speed. I WILL STRICTLY ENFORCE THIS.

If you're not excited for Metal Gear Solid 4, you quite honestly don't deserve to play video games.

I'm psyched. Metal Gear Solid on the PS1 was my introduction to the world of PlayStation, had never played anything like it. Have been playing the series since (not TOO religiously i'll admit, i have come to despise the cut scenes i'm afraid!) and the gameplay experience is always such a riot.

Can't believe we're only five days away from release now!

The game has to deliver...my most awaited title of the year (Alone In The Dark 5) is out the week after...so it's quite possible MGS4 could be pushed down my playing order!

Ive always been a fan of MGS. But this game has propelled me into a hardcore fan. To the point its on par or more interesting then Shenmue to me. Considering how dead Shenmue is these days its not a hard thing to say.
Anyways, im really excited. Ive built up quite a collection too. But not really intentional. Just out of pure desire to play or see something has made it grow. Unlike my Shenmue collection which eventually turned into a need to own everything kinda thing.
So basicly its amazing. Kojima Productions is awsome. Im literally contemplating growing a mustache for when I pick the game up at my local Japanese game store. The people know me by name there now. So it'd be kinda funny.

Side question for everyone.

How do you rank the games from favorite to least favorite?

MGS2
MGS3
MGS1 TTS (yes its above the original for me imo)
MGS1
MPO
MG2
MG


And im guessing MGS4 is going to easily be everyones favorite when it comes out. Atleast for everyone but the purists.

I Have been a fan for many years now. I am very exited about this game. PlaystationUK gave it 10/10. Its going to be a kickass game!

Hey, I dont know that much about MGS (I actually havent played any of em ....) and I was just wondering, why make MGS4 and MGO2 instead of just making MGS4 itself online?

Well thats what essentially MGO is. You can even play as snake in 'Sneaking Mode' where one person is Snake and everyone else is PMC's. Other modes include Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and some other modes too. MGO uses basicly the same engine as MGS4. MGO basicly is just a name only. And they dont call it MGO2, just MGO. Subsistance's online component was almost a test for the now real, more extensive MGO thats in MGS4.

Definitely psyched. Plan to meet Kojima-san as he's signing at the midnight launch all of three minutes away from my apartment (walkable).

Thats really awsome. Take some pics please!

You were a Shenmue fan?? I must have overlooked that fact due to your fervent attempts to imitate a certain Brooklynite we know....

Are you going to let me post here without you being a dick to me for no reason or what? I assume you're going to delete this post now as usual. I dont know what happened to you but its sad. Its like one day you flipped a switch from a good friend to someone who hates me for no reason. Get a grip man. I have nothing against you and never have. And if I said something to you along time ago which offended you that I dont remember then im sorry.
