They'll probably let you buy Snake (among other characters) in upcoming DLC for anything BUT Sneaking Missions.

Also, did anyone feel creeped out/laughed constantly while playing through Shadow Moses with the Otacon camo on?

The scene in Otacon's office and in the Metal Gear fight were hilarious.

If you can, go get a 60 GB PS3. Failing that, get the 80 GB. It's going to stay for a while because Sony isn't introducing any new SKUs for a while(and they'd axe the 40 GB before the 80 GB).

Whatever you do, just get the PS3.

It has superior hardware at a better deal, and it's software only gets better and better. The 360's (unfortunately IMO) software seems to want to remain static until the next XBOX comes out.

Also, you can't play MGS4 on a Wii or 360.

What? It's a valid point.

The others are just as great. Except for MGS3. That's about as great as a videogame has ever been.

Im in huge debate as to which game I've liked better. GTA4 or MGS4, two amazing games in terms of ground-breaking feeling.

Well, GTAIV took away 90% of what made the older games fun, and made everything pretty. MGS4 expanded on everything, and then added "pretty".

Also, Big Boss on Mount Rushmore. Holy fucking shit.

-Metal Gear
-Final Fantasy (depends on the game)
-Bioshock
-Chrono Trigger/Cross
-Saga Frontier

There's more, but I don't feel like searching through boxes.

It's a well known fact that all Snake does is grunt and say the name of his enemy.

What about all of the clones calling him "Snake" and not "Solid"?

IS IT BECAUSE THEY'RE IMPOTENT? HOW CONVENIENT.

Get fucked, Liquid is the best baddy ever. Solidus can't make saying things like "Super baby method" sound awesome, Liquid can.

Liquid was a douche, and never stopped crying about his "inferior genes"(which apparently only change hair color).

Also, Solidus had "THEY TOOK MY EYE!" Better than "Did you like my sunglasses?" by a mile.

But Sony won't fucking listen.

America having lots and lots of economic power kind of stops that.

A good reason why they aren't listening could be because it takes the sales of over ten European countries to match US and Canadian sales. They could very well be going by how much money each country makes them, rather than how much many countries together make. Just a hypothesis, though.

I say PS3.

Was able to sell consistently better than the 360 did when it first came out (with apparently no games), and firmware is making it better and better. You know what's better than the Blade Menu (Not sure if that's what the 360 menu is called)? A Blade menu that can be completely rehauled in one update and can fix bugs in many games. The PS3 is getting all of the things that the 360 has, and isn't charging for it. If you're going by money alone, go for it.

Personally, I like how each update allows more of the system to be taken advantage of. When the PS3 first came out, it could only support 480i-1080i. One update later, and 720p and 1080p were available.

When it first came out, it didn't use any of it's power t od owhat the PSP could to "remember" where you stopped playing a movie when you turned it off. Now, you can pop in any movie (although I think it only works for Blu-Ray movies, so don't take my word for this), and it will automatically remember where you left off, even if you watched other movies in the meantime.

As for the games, there's already a healthy supply. There's Resistance, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, R&C, , MGS4 (shows what current-gen systems can actually do, pick up immediately if you buy a PS3), Uncharted, GT: Prologue, and more. There's also the multi-platform games and upcoming exclusives.

As for the 360, I bought one mainly for it's exclusives and for XBLA. It's not like I have any sort of fanboysim, it's just that the machine that does more gets my attention. If the 360 had everything the PS3 had, and then some, the situation would be reversed for me.

Both are worth buying, but the better deal (and better games, but that's just my opinion) is definitely the PS3. Sit back and wait before you make your choice, though. You might think Left 4 Dead is the best thing ever, or you might find LittleBigPlanet to be incredibly awesome.

one thing with the ps3, is every game requires you install an update to play it, and some save files(such as the orange box) increase in the memory it takes up the farther you get through the game

which i believe is a ploy to get you to use up your harddrive and buy memory cards

That's the most retarded thing I've heard videogame-wise this week. Never mind the fact that the PS3 HAS NO MEMORY CARDS. If you need space, you can put it on a computer via a flash drive, so it actually is limited only by the hard drives in you computer, the one in the PS3, and the space in the flash drive. They weren't stupid about memory, so you can uninstall the games that you install and just keep the saved files for later.

You can be much cooler than that.

How about instead of having a leader, we just use our common sense?

The last time we tried making leaders, everyone but me and LostChances left. And he's pretty much gone for good

BUT ENOUGH OF THAT, LET'S TALK ZOMBIES!

Favorite zombie movie that nobody knows about (bonus points if it's one nobody else here has seen).

For me, Zombie Plaga, Zone Mutante (Zombie Plague: Mutant Zone in English).

Not only is it the most awesome Spanish (ie. subtitles abound) zombie movie made by Argentinians, it's also a sequel that doesn't require knowledge of the previous movie.

Try to buy it. If that fails, torrent it or something. It's just that awesome.

All seriousness aside, though, I did a double-take when someone IMed me about Brawl getting a release date in Europe.

I mean, holy fucking shit. I hated having to wait longer than you guys for FFTactics:TWOTL, and that was only 3 days. Hopefully someone will realize that there's a really annoying difference between doing it the right way (lots of money all at once) and doing it the wrong way (three releases, where nobody cares by the 2nd and 3rd launch).

Too bad Sony's favorite money machine (FF) makes money by doing it the wrong way.

Am I the only one who would like a game based on Otacon?

With Otacon, you could do nearly anything. Pilot the last Metal Gear Rex in 2034 in order to save the Earth or some such thing. Even a game that's nothing more than a game that Otacon designed could work.

- Just about any scene with Revolver Ocelot in the second half of MGS4. So over-the-top for a villain like him. The scene in MGS3 where Naked Snake kills The Boss is also really well-done.

- Anju and Kafei meeting in Majora's Mask

I'd list more, but I'm tired.

People complain about the cutscene lengths until they notice that they aren't looking at the clock every ten seconds during them for a reason.

The choreography and voice acting alone makes it worthwhile(take good notice of the movements of the models, that's WEEKS at the very least of work for each scene). The inclusion of a non-shitty story goes a long way, as well.

Level 2, and current titles :

I'm going to go all-out on my CQC and physical (running, throwing, etc), with a little SOP before going on to guns and such.

I don't want to butcher the pic (or go hunting for a HD GRAFIX sized one), so here's one:

Solid Snake. He smokes even when aging at 90 miles per hour.

I too browse 4chan's /v/ forum every now and then.

Otherwise you'd see the holes in your copypasta.

Brits with an obsession with informing me why their share of an island is better than two entire continents combined and 12 year olds.

These two usually overlap.

I prefer going alone because

A) Most of my games focus on the single player aspect

B) I don't play the game often enough

C) It's easier to come up with strategies in lesser amounts of time with friends than with strangers online.

D) I usually don't end up communicating at all with anyone. If the whole point is interaction and communication, then why am I even playing?

By George A. Romero zombies, I mean real zombies.

the slowly learning over time zombies from the classic movies, or the irritatingly quick and smart ones from the remake?

The stupid ones that learn (at .0000001 miles per hour) slowly.

The fast ones were only used in the Zach Snyder film, which wasn't affiliated with Romero (aside from the "based on George A. Romero's "insert movie here" bit and that it's dedicated to him).

So slow, stupid, and maybe enough sentience to use club-like weapons after 5-10 years sound like a good zombie model to base plans on? It's got my vote.
