I swung by the local GameStop and traded in a bunch of turd games and surprisingly got about 30 bucks off the MSRP, but the bad news was, they had no copies...

However, that gives me a week to beat Snake Eater... Does anyone know if it's longer than Sons of Liberty? I got through that in a week's time. And that was AFTER my Xbox decided to piss all over my copy of Substance, and I had to go get the PS2 non-Substance version for 4 dollars and catch up to where I left off (about where you first control Raiden).

I can get through Snake Easter in about 2 hours. If i remember it's a bit shorter than SoL. Snake Eater is such a gorgeous game.

That's some good news right there. I've been looking forward to it so much... But not as much as 4.

I just finished MGS4, best interactive movie ( read, final cutscene was literally an hour+ ) ever. ^_^

Also, my favorite boss fight in an MGS game ever was in this one. I won't tell you what it is, but I think it could've only been done on the PS3. Also, Raiden didn't seem so lame this time around. Overall, I think I'll have another go round this week. I did get the "Eagle" tag when I beat the game, probably cause I didn't take the espionage part in "tactical espionage action" very seriously. I needed to shoot craploads of people in the head to survive. Seriously, this game is worth shelling out 400 bucks for.

One last thing: rail gun. Fuck yeah, it's not for Fortune anymore.

Is MGS4 a PAYO-PAYO SIMULATION GAME like the third one was?

Ok, this is a fair warning for ANYONE who might be interested in buying this game:

If you read the reviews, STAY AWAY from the Comments. I have had two pretty big things spoiled for me thanks to that bullcrap.

So consider yourselves warned.

I've already had most of the game spoiled for me, so it's all good... :tongue:

Wow, am I the ONLY one who actually played and beat the game without reading or hearing any spoilers?

Well, they weren't tremendous spoilers... but they were enough to give me that feeling of, "Man, that would have been a great surprise... I wish I had not read that."

Well, I was playing World of Warcraft and one of my guildies killed it for me. I said in guild chat "Sweet ass, just got MGS4."

SPOILERS:

Py: Big Boss is alive, Ocelot is "faking", Naomi dies.
